Reston, Virginia

“My father would be proud of me right now,” Henry said as he removed the rubber tourniquet from Kurt’s arm. “Very proud.” He watched the tube fill with blood. “You should have heard him complain when I gave up my practice.” Henry removed the full tube and placed a piece of cotton on Kurt’s arm. “Can you hold that?”

Kurt lifted his other arm slowly and rested his fingers on the cotton.

“Thanks.” Henry looked at the tube of blood. “Better get well, or at least well enough to do the same for me.” Henry saw the worried look on Kurt’s face. “No. Not yet. I’m not sick. But just in case.” He walked across the lab with the tube. . “So, as I was saying, I started a practice many years ago. A patient, Mr. Winston,” Henry smiled, “spoke to me about working here as director. At the time, the pay was good, the hours short. Malpractice insurance wasn’t making me broke, and...I didn’t have to deal with sick people.” He snickered. “Look at me now. I’ve been working for days, taking showers in the men’s room, and dealing with an entire world that’s sick.” He found the pot of coffee and poured a cup.

“Plan?” Kurt asked weakly.

“Oh, yes.” Henry took his cup back over to his seat. “I came up with a plan. Lars loved it. We’re just waiting now for approval. What it is...” Henry settled into his chair. “Is a way to help Chief Michael Owens of Lodi, a back-up of sorts.”

“Why?”

“Why not?” Henry lifted a hand. “Imagine that the earth is a battleground. Which it actually is right now, beaten, burned. If we can just preserve one spot, leave one speck untouched, then we’ve won.” His head turned quickly as the phone rang. “That’s either Utah with their stats or the call I’ve been waiting for.” Hurriedly, Henry hurriedly reached for the phone. “Yes.” He listened and nodded. “Thank you.” The phone did not leave his hand; he merely disconnected the call and began to dial.

Kurt watched this. “Who are you calling?”

“Approval’s come through. If Chief Owens can hold out for three days, this little plan of his might work. But there’s no reason he why he can’t initiate things on his end.” Henry lifted a finger to Kurt when the call was connected. “Um...yes, this is Dr. Henry Davis from the Barrow flu dispatch center. I need to speak to Chief Owens, please.”
