Chapter 48

Jetta was put on a stretcher and in the back of an old beat-up van, then rushed off. She had no idea what happened to Tyler and Shango. The pain in her neck was bad, but as they drove off, she slowly felt better.

When they finally stopped and opened the back, paramedics rushing inside to get her out, Jetta was sitting up.

She was carried outside and taken to a temporary hospital. It was set up in an old building with only half of a roof above it. Inside were hundreds of people lying on mattresses on the floor or in old beds, all packed closely together in the same room. Several were missing an eye. Others had half of their faces destroyed. Some had lost an arm, others both their legs. The smell of rain lingered heavily in her nostrils.

A nurse came to Jetta.

"They say you were shot. Can you show me? "

Jetta looked at her. She reached to the back of her neck and felt where the bullet had gone in. Her shirt was soaked in blood, but she could no longer feel the gunshot wound. She blinked a few times, then looked at the woman.

"I don't have all day, sweetheart. People are coming in from all sides today. Where are you hurt?"

Jetta bent down her head inside the hoodie, then lifted it up. Nothing. No pain at all. She smiled, looking at the woman with her black side.

"I think I’m okay now," she said.

The nurse looked at her seriously. "Are you sure? You don't want me to look at it real quick? There's a lot of blood on that shirt of yours."

Jetta shook her head. "No. I'm good. I'm fine."

The black nurse smiled, showing a white set of teeth. "You know what? Suit yourself. For all I care, that's just one less to take care of. Now, get on out of here. You're taking up space for the really sick."

Jetta got up and walked away. She found a toilet in the back and went inside. She closed the door. There was no roof on it, but it worked, and she could take off her hoodie and look at herself in the broken mirror. To her surprise, there wasn't even a scratch on the skin of her neck. She reached back there and touched it, figuring she had been very lucky since the nurse would definitely have seen her white side if she had to examine her, and then what would they do? Kill her? It was possible.

She remembered still how the family had reacted at the ghetto when they realized Jetta had a white side. She didn't dare risk angering anyone like that again. She was now in black territory and she had a feeling it was just as dangerous for them to discover her real self as it was on the white side.

She put the hoodie back on and walked outside the building, where more hurt people were still being carried inside. Some were screaming in pain, others were eerily quiet.
