Chapter 16

After a night of tossing and turning, Kris was up early the next morning. Her meeting with Leonard Scott was at 10:00; she wanted to make sure that she could present him with an accurate and updated list of the work still pending on each file.

Just as she was about to head down to his office at 9:50 she got a phone call from his secretary—Director Scott had been called out of the office and had postponed their meeting until 1:30. That would give Kris a few extra hours to type the remaining inventories, but it was annoying. She did not like meeting with Scott under any circumstances, and knowing that she had to meet with him and then having it postponed was worse than waiting for the dentist.

The day was growing late, and still her mother had not called back. She had checked several times for an email or a message on Friendshare, but none was there. Now she was starting to get really concerned. She was certain there had not been any disciplinary problems or she would have heard about them already, but something must have happened. Janine never ignored her calls.

Maybe her mother had gotten sick. Picking up the phone, she dialed the clinic at W. There was no answer—the phone rang and rang and did not pick up. After thinking for a minute, she dialed the clinic at her own FE community. Michael had written the prescription for Janine’s high blood pressure medication, and he often filled in when the doctors at the other units were understaffed. If there were a problem out at W that kept the clinic from operating, he would know about it. The PA answered the phone. “Hi, Eric, this is Kris Mitchell. Is Dr. Linton in? I need to talk to him.”

“Dr. Linton did not come in today,” was the response. “He messaged us that he had to take a few days off for personal reasons. Is there anything that I can help you with?”

“How strange,” Kris thought. In all the months that she had lived there, she had never known Michael to work less than a twelve-hour day, six days a week. He never took time off. “Listen, Eric. I am trying to get through to the clinic at W. Nobody’s answering the phone over there. It just rings and rings. Have you heard about any problems in W? The internet has been down for about four days so I can’t get through to anybody.”

“No,” Eric answered. “We haven’t heard anything, but I’m sure that everything is fine. If there had been any problems, the supervising physician would have called us right away, and he hasn’t.”

“If you hear from anybody, will you please tell them I am trying to get a call through?” Kris hung up the phone.

She looked at her watch. It was now 1:15. Her reports were ready, and she emailed them to Leonard Scott so that he would have them in advance of the meeting. Getting up from her desk, she walked upstairs to his office for the second time that day.
