An hour later, I was back at the clinic. Kiara’s treatment was finished, and Lionel had taken her back to their apartment to rest. John and Clark were done with John’s surgery and Samantha was finishing up his dressing. Lois was sitting in a chair next to John, holding his hand.

“How is he doing?” I asked Samantha.

“He is doing better than I thought he would when he first came in. James and Grant were able to fix everything, so as long as John doesn’t get an infection and does therapy after the incision heals, he should regain full use of his arm.”

“That is great news.” I turned to Lois. “I’ll bet you’re relieved it went so well. I brought you some dinner.”

Lois smiled her thanks and took the plate I held out to her. She dragged her chair over to the desk and began to eat.

“Samantha, have you eaten yet?”

“No, but I need to stay here with him for a while until he is completely awake.”

“I can do that. Go find James and get some dinner. I’ll stay until one of you is ready to come back. What do I need to do?” Samantha handed me the chart and told me to just watch for bleeding and monitor vital signs and especially his breathing.

“I think I can trust you with my patient for a while. Try not to mess anything up – we have him in good shape and I expect him to be in the same shape when I get back.”

“Yes ma’am.” I stood up and saluted her. She left, laughing. Lois looked at me with a bit of a nervous expression on her face.

“Um, do you really know how to take care of him?” she asked, timidly.

I started to laugh. “I’m sorry, Lois. Samantha and I were just being silly. Yes, I’ve been a nurse for a long time and know exactly what needs to be done.”

“Oh, good. I was scared for a minute there. It’s hard enough to see John going through this and being in a strange place with so many people that I don’t know. Thank you, though, for everything you people are doing to help us.”

“It is our privilege to be able to help. We are trying to be good neighbors. If we ever want to put our society and our country together, we will all need to pitch in and help each other however we can.”

“I agree with you.” Lois looked resolute. “Before the collapse, people were too focused on themselves, and didn’t seem to be all that interested in helping others unless it was for some politically correct popular issue. I mean, look at the issues with separating families at the border. Everyone was up in arms about that, even though it has been going on for years. It wasn’t until the issue was made political that all these people started caring. And who cares about the kids when citizens wind up going to jail? I wonder what all those people are doing now.
