By the time they had left the hotel, surrounded by MI6 men, out the rear door in the parking garage and into a vehicle heading toward the hospital, she had reverted to Abby the doctor under extreme duress. Jax knew that she felt she was doing the right thing, and likely she was, as far as her code of morals and ethics went. But most of the world didn’t operate on the same scale of morality that she did. Which was too bad, because then a lot of people didn’t understand her reactions to everything going on.

They were led into a hospital door, through the morgue area. And then back up through service elevators to the floor that they needed. With Jax and Beau at her side, they finally walked into a small waiting room. There was a woman and a small boy.

Jax was not surprised that they were here early. As Jax scanned the room, he first saw the head of security eating breakfast across from him.

The woman looked up, and everybody could see the worry in her eyes, but, more than that, the uncertainty too as she shuffled in place, dressed in a dark burka, and kept pushing her sleeve up and then pulling it back down again. She was almost as uncomfortable as Abby was. Abby reached out and introduced herself, shaking the woman’s hand.

The woman nodded gratefully. “My son,” she whispered, “can you help my son?”

Abby looked at him and said, “I don’t have his full medical file. Do you?”

The woman glanced around, up in the corners, as if looking for a camera. And then she quickly handed over a small USB key. Abby turned it around in her fingers for a moment and said to Beau, “I need my laptop.”

Beau disappeared.

Jax asked the woman, “Where is your husband?”

“With his security team.”

“Do you know where exactly?”

The scared woman shook her head. “No, but he is inside the hospital somewhere, nearby, in case he is needed.”

In the meantime, in a small private room, Abby did a full physical exam, checking the little boy’s chest, lungs, eyes, throat, and heart. It was obvious that the child was somewhere around four or maybe five years old, but he didn’t speak English, adding a language barrier to the interview. Finally, when she was done, Beau returned with her laptop. She opened it up, put the key in, and transferred the information. Then she sat here for a few minutes, studying the results. “Do you know what treatments have been done?”

The woman took a deep breath and shook her head. “My husband doesn’t let me see such things.”

“Interesting,” she said.

Jax watched the look on Abby’s face as he perused everything going on. He could tell from the stillness in her face that she didn’t understand what she saw. She opened up several more files and then looked at the mother and said, “I need to pull some blood and run some more tests.”

The woman nodded immediately. “But I don’t know what else you could possibly test for.
