Diana went directly to Dills office. She was away seeing another patient, but Diana made enough fuss to put herself next in the queue. And she insisted on waiting in Dills’ office, despite the nurse’s protests.

She sat gazing out the window, a dozen minicabters crisscrossing above the city. But she was satisfied – finally, she could move on with her plans. After all, this was her destiny. This was her path. Roadblocks were there to be smashed aside. Oh, she was well aware why she was created. She understood why she had been given this extra strength – of mind, and body. Sometimes, she even felt sorry for the purposeless creatures of the world. But not too often.

Dills hurried in and closed the door, flustered. Looked through Mrs Huyt’s notes for something to do while she summoned the strength to say what she needed to say. It would not be what Diana wanted to hear.

“I’ll be straight with you. I’m quite concerned there’s been a serious lapse in procedure. And I’d like to resolve this before we undertake further actions. I’m going to ask for Amy to be kept here – gratis – while we work out what’s gone on. It’s the least we can do.”

Diana grimaced, as if punched.

“Doctor, we have been messed about by you and your colleagues long enough. The whole family are in agreement. And I have Philip’s signature to prove it,” she said, swishing the form in Dill’s face. “The reputation of this hospital is already ruined, in my eyes. If you continue to cause us unnecessary pain, then we’ll have no choice but to speak out.”

Dills was staggered. How could this woman be so unreasonable? All she wanted was a little extra time to find out the truth.

“While we’re trying to fix this. That would be a shame, wouldn’t i—.”

“Or…,” Diana cut in, “we can resolve this right now and draw a line under what went on before.”

“I understand that you want to move this along quickly, but it’s not just about getting a signature. This has to go through the proper channels. The form has to be processed.”

Diana slid the form emphatically across Dill’s desk. “Process it.”
