“All right,” Hawk relents.“Let’s go see the old man.”
“If anything, we can relieve your mom,” I say.“She can come back here and stay with Eagle.”
He stares at the ceiling.“Trust me, nothing will keep my mother from her baby.”
We head to the elevators and go down to the fourth floor, where Hawk’s father is.
When we get to his room, we have to show our IDs to the security guard at the door.
Hawk scowls.“This is ridiculous.Falcon and the attorneys don’t have a guard at Eagle’s room.Maybe they should.”
I’m not sure what to say to that, so I say nothing as we enter Mr.Bellamy’s room.Star isn’t there.
“See?”Hawk says.“She’s probably on her way back to Eagle’s room now.”
Hawk takes my hand, leading me in.
“Hey, Dad.”
Mr.Bellamy’s eyes widen.
“This is Daniela,” he says.“A very good friend of mine.”
Mr.Bellamy’s lips twitch.“Hawk on the fence,” he says.
“Yes, Hawk,” he says.“It’s me, Dad.”
Mr.Bellamy nods.“Hawk.”
Good.His father knows who he is.
No amnesia.Only the aphasia.I guess Hawk already knows that.
“Dad, how are you feeling?”
“Dr.Fence.”
“Dr.Fence?Is that the name of your doctor?”
He shakes his head.“Doctor.Fence.Hawk.Falcon.”
“Do you want me to get a doctor?”Hawk asks.
Mr.Bellamy shakes his head, this time more vehemently.“Doctor.Falcon.Doctor.”
“Do you want me to get Falcon?”
More head shaking.“Doctor.Doctor.”
The machines begin to go crazy, beeping.
A nurse—the one we met before, named Grace—hurries in.“Why is he so agitated?”she asks Hawk.
“I don’t know,” Hawk says.“He kept insisting he didn’t want to see the doctor, but he kept saying doctor over and over again.”
“I need to check his vitals,” Grace says sharply.“You two need to leave.Now.”
I grab Hawk’s hand.
