JESSIE WATCHED AS he made his way down the corridor, pausing just long enough to glimpse into room 2 as he passed. Five years. Almost as long as it had taken her to complete her neurosurgical residency. It was a hell of a long time to chase an obsession—especially with so little success. Now, with no firm proof that the patient in 2 was Malloche, and with the man so near death, it was possible Alex’s quest would end not with a bang, but with the whimper of lingering uncertainty.

Jessie checked the time—nearly twenty minutes since her page to Emily had been sent. She wondered if Emily’s beeper could possibly be malfunctioning or might simply have been turned off. At that instant her own pager sounded. The display gave Alice Twitchell’s name and extension.

“Oh, Dr. Copeland, I’m so glad you answered so quickly,” Carl’s meticulous assistant said. “I’m in Dr. Gilbride’s office with Mr. Tolliver. He’s having a severe headache—a migraine. He told me to page you and not to bother trying to find Dr. Gilbride. Could you possibly come down and have a look at him?”

“I’ll be right over,” Jessie said. “Alice, do you by any chance know where Emily DelGreco might be?”

“Gee, no, Dr. Copeland,” the woman said apologetically. “I have no idea.”
