The woman watched her amused, not frightened at all by her crumpled look.
“Sure, kid. Sure”.

Shane entered the hall, breathing heavily, and leaned her elbows on the white counter. The operator, a black woman around thirty, looked up puzzled and blinked.
Shane looked on seventh heaven and a bit out of her mind.
“Can I help you, ma’am?”, the operator asked, arching her eyebrows.
Shane sighed breathlessly, pressing her palm on her breast and listening to her own furious heartbeat.
“I’ll just take a moment to catch my breath….”, she said, and then shook her head and chuckled to herself, “Breath!”.
She cleared her throat and turned back to the operator.
“Carmen Morales”, she managed to say.
The woman didn’t flinch.
“Are you a patient?”.
“No…”, Shane panted, “…I just need to find her. Please”.
The woman put a chewing gum into her mouth.
“You’ll have to call her office. Someone there can help you”.
“Do you know where she is?”, Shane asked, leaning forward.
The operator pulled back a little, resting her back against the chair.
“No, ma’am, I do not know where she is”.
“Well, you have this computer…”, Shane exclaimed hastily, smiling and patting the monitor on the desk, “…and all this technology. Can’t you look her up?”.
The operator was starting to worry and, when Dr. Dana Fairbanks put her hand on Shane’s shoulder, she exhaled a sigh of relief.
“Hey…”, Dana asked, frowning, “…Can I help you?”.
Shane turned around and smiled broadly, seeing her.
“Where’s Carmen?”.
“So you’re a friend of Carmen’s?”.
Dana’s face looked doubtful.
Shane nodded repeatedly, rapidly.
Dana touched a bruise on Shane’s cheek and grimaced.
“What happened to you?”.
Shane flinched at the contact and stepped back, terrified.
Dana observed her attentively. Then, she grabbed her hand and scoffed.
“Come with me. You can’t walk around like that”.

Shane closed her eyes shut feeling the stinging pain of the needle. Right in front of her, Dana was giving her some stitches.
“Can you please tell me what happened to you?”, she repeated, softly.
Shane flinched.
“Sorry”, Dana mumbled, “It’s okay. It’s almost over, hang on”.
“I fell”, Shane said, huskily, opening her eyes.
Dana rolled her eyes.
“Evidently. Off a train?”.
“I fell in love”, Shane elaborated, and Dana pulled back, sighing.
She stared at Shane, her arms folded.
“Please, help me find her”, Shane murmured with begging eyes.
Dana sighed, tossing the latex gloves in bin and pinching the bridge of her nose.
“She went to Lake Tahoe. Her uncle has a cabin on the Nevada side”.
Shane sprinted out of the room.
“Wait!”, Dana yelled.
“Thanks, Dane!”, Shane shouted from afar, without turning back.
”…Ask the angels if they’re startin’ to move
Comin’ in droves in from L.A.
Ask the angels if they’re starting to groove
Lightning as armor and it’s today
It’s wild wild wild wild
Wild wild wild wild
Wild wild wild wild
Wild wild wild wild”*
