George scrolled through the X-rays on Clay’s laptop one by one, studying each image. The click of the mouse was the only sound filling the houseboat. Finally, the USDA employee pointed to the screen. “This here, on her spine. New inflammation?”

Clay grimaced. “Yeah.”

“And curvature’s getting worse.” George stopped to clean his glasses and think. He had hoped that in the thirty days since his last visit, Clay and his team would have made more progress. “Has anyone else seen these?”

“Just one or two of the staff.”

George spotted a coffeemaker. “May I?”

“Sure.” Clay walked over and poured him a mug of coffee, and then one for himself.

“You know, I used to run a facility, too. Just like this one.”

“I didn’t know that,” Clay said, handing him a second mug.

“Palm Bay Marine Hospital. Seventeen years. Do you have sugar?”

Clay handed him the sugar bowl.

“Believe me, I know what you’re going through,” said George, spooning the sugar into his coffee. “Sometimes my job’s not much fun.” He took a sip. “Congrats on that release, by the way.” George lifted his coffee mug, indicating a toast to Clay. “We love to see success. Although, in this case, I guess it’s a bit of a double-edged sword.” He put down his coffee and started writing on one of the many forms stacked in front of him. Clay put down his coffee and watched in silence. His stomach was too tied in knots.
