Anthony pressed the call button two more times. What was taking them so long?

Finally a nurse appeared, though by the nonchalance of her entrance, she should be fired.

“Where have you been? I’ve been calling and calling and—”

She appeared unimpressed. “What can we do for you, Dr. Thorgood?”

“We can speed up the paperwork so I can go home like the others.”

She let a grin escape. “I’m sorry, but the doctor has determined that, unlike the other survivors, you need to stay another day.”

“I what?”

“You have a temperature—which as you know, Doctor, indicates infection. Unless your temperature is normal you can’t go home.”

This is unbelievable.

“Is there anything I can get for you?”

“Everyone else gets to go home, and I have to stay?”

She didn’t respond.

“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”

Her smug look vanished, and her eyebrows dropped. “I assure you, we’d like nothing better than to see you discharged.”

“You are a whiz at the double entendre, aren’t you, nurse?”
