Dr. Holliday stood in the doorway to Lynn's room after it opened. He stood in his doctor's whites with his stethoscope around his neck. With a straight face, he just looked at Lynn, "Come with me."
The two made their way down many corridors, making turn after turn, leaving the secure area.
"As I can't quite figure you out, doing this is against my better judgment but I will bring you to Nina," he explained in a serious tone, "understand that she is in pretty bad shape and there is more work to be done on her but I think she is stable enough to allow a short visit."
He gave a short description of her injuries, "I pieced her left arm back together and she received a liver transplant as well. Once she has some strength back I will address the burns, scars and her mouth as well."
He then softly grabbed her arm and stopped her in the hall, "I had to resuscitate her upon her arrival."
He then became almost pleading with Lynn, "perhaps we can help each other. I'm bringing you here against the recommendations of other physicians so if you can help me to find out who did this to her...." He then stopped, having made his point, escorted her to Nina's room in the I.C.U.
Doc gave the watching nurse a break and he himself watched. There was Nina, peacefully resting, her monitor and I.V. pump the only noise around. The tube in her right hand flowing with water and sedatives. Doc checked her fluids while Lynn finally got her wish.
Doc placed a caring hand on the back of Lynn's shoulder, "Now you understand why I didn't want to tell where she is. She's been through a lot and needs her rest.
