“Yes.I will tell him as soon as I get home.”

“Great.Well, see you.”Keera headed for the door.She had an appointment to get to.

She headed to the medical office and wasn’t surprised to see Worro in the waiting room, watching ads for maternity wear on the screen in the office.

She walked up to him.“Wow, you are prompt.”

He got up and hugged her.“Of course.Ready to see what is going on?”

She nodded, and the receptionist smiled, checked her in, and took them to get the deep scan.She was asked if Worro could remain, and she nodded.

Time to find out what damage was left over.

Keera sat on Worro’s lap as the doctor smiled and said that everything looked good.The damage done by the needle-sharp daggers was gone.She was whole again.

She exhaled slowly.“Well, that’s a relief.”

Worro paused.“What do you mean, the damage done by the daggers?”

The doctor checked the screens and brought up an initial scan.“The attack around her abdomen was vicious.The needles penetrated the womb and contributed to the miscarriage.Ten points of penetration.It’s amazing she survived that first attack.It is nice to see that she has made a full recovery.”He smiled and nodded.

Keera exhaled and moved to get to her feet.

Worro grabbed her and whispered, “Stay.I need to ask you a few things.”

She swallowed.The doctor left them alone.

“What do you need to know?”

“He attacked your belly first.”

“Yes.I had been talking to a friend about how to let you know, and he was opportunistic.He whispered that now you didn’t need to bother with me.He had taken care of it.The next few hours were just me paralyzed and crying.”

“I am going to find out who authorized my memory wipe and beat the hell out of them or into them.Not fussy at this point.”

“Okay.I am having dinner with my family tonight.You are invited if you want to come.”

“Funny you should say that.We are all meeting at Klauz’s.”

“We are?”

He nodded.“We are.There’s a dress and shoes in your office.We are leaving from here.”

“Who brought them there?”

He smiled.“You think I can’t find your office?”

She sighed.“Right.How did you get hold of my family?”

He smiled.“I met them, way back when.Wellin has grown.”

“Yeah.He has started eating like he’s starving.They will be happy for me to move out.Less food necessary.”

“You know that isn’t true.”

“Yes, but I haven’t felt this out in the weeds for years.You can find anything, but I have lost myself.I don’t know if I will ever find myself again.”

He held her, and they sat in silence for a long five minutes.He broke it when he said, “Did you have a deposition or a victim’s statement?”
