I saw Dr. Wali in an exam room while Jazz went to get ‘recalibrated’.

“How are you?” He asked giving me the once over.

“Okay. Still a little stiff.” He nodded his head.

“That is to be expected. You know Drew, there is nothing you could have done to save Dave. The tox screen came back showing he had a high amount of stimulants in his system. Which caused an accelerated use of oxy. Which in turn helped cause his demise. So there is no need to be depressed.” He had confused my hangdog look for depression.

I was really just sorry to see Jazz go. What was I going to do without her? The thought of having to break in another nurse/bodyguard was daunting to say the least.

“I’m not depressed Doc. I have too much on my mind right now. Sorry.” He shrugged. He finished running the scan over me. As he studied the readout, Jazz walked in. He turned to her.

“Ah, there you are. I’m recommending a course of physical therapy that will be bluefanged to you. You can start him on it tomorrow.” He looked at me. “I will phone ahead to Dr. Barber and tell her you’re on your way. You need to talk to her about whatever it is that is really troubling you.” He waved and left.

I smiled at Jazz.

“So, how’d recalibration go?” Bummed she wouldn’t remember me or our shared past.

She smiled a big smile. A happy smile.

“Oh, I just went in for a check up.” She looked down at her sneak’s.

“Does that mean?” She nodded her head in the affirmative.

“Yes. I couldn’t go through with it. I couldn’t bare the thought of not missing you.”

“Excellent. Saves me from having to break in another support unit.” She looked at me with an expression I could only describe as hurt.

“Shit. What I mean is that I was already missing you and I’m glad you didn’t go through with it. I mean it, okay?” Like clouds fleeing the sun, her expression changed to one of sheer happiness. I thought, Jeebus, too human, too human.
