”It has been cold lately.” Cassie sympathizes.
”I have a coat.”
”And nice riding gloves, if I remember.”
”Lots of gear and tack.” I turn back to the charts. ”Should we operate on this man? I think we should.”
”That’s the second thing I was going to tell you.”
”Hit me,” I say as I rearrange the brain scans, suddenly stopping at one in particular.
”Exactly! A noticeable increase…”
I press a series of commands and the scan becomes 3D. ”In the pre-frontal cortex, right behind both of his eyes! Will you look at that!”
Cassie joins me at the imaging table and lifts her fingers up to tap an inch inside her scalp line, ”A little hole drilled right about here?”
”Hm, make that two. I’m building an electrical bridge between these two areas of his brain nuclei. I’ll put the implants twenty microns behind this part of the optic nerve.”
”Doing that on both sides?”
”To create a neural web-like effect, stimulating from cortex to cortex and then…maybe deeper. I’ll have to see once I get in there.” I turn back to the wall mounted display of my patient’s brain scans. ”He’s ready. Look at the difference between this morning and three days ago.”
”Remarkable to see how the brain revives during coma.”
”Rare for sure. Anything else before we scrub in?”
”Just that…because nobody else could possibly do this, he’s very lucky.”
”Well, possible Tony.” Now I’m back at my desk and syncing my iPhone with my computer. ”Have you heard from him?”
”Did you fall in a well? Or did I forget to tell you?” Cassie hyperventilates. ”He’s recovering from a shark attack!”
”You’re kidding? No! You’re serious.” I focus on her guilty face. ”Where? When?”
”Surfing off the coast of some unpronounceable Pacific island, but lucky for him it wasn’t his hands. The shark chomped from his calf though.”
”Oh God! Well, he can still operate. We should send a card.”
”Sitting down. At least for awhile. Card. Already done, along with one to the ex-wife.”
”He has three.”
”They one you like.” She winks at me.
”After that…” I blush and fidget with objects on my desk. ”I quit drinking at office parties.”
”My mother wonders if that’s still true?”

Loving this story so far!
Thanks Tee! I’ve got to get Dr Porter all tangled up with the spies and then satisfy her with a date with the journalist. Anything in particular you’d like to see unfold in this thriller?
I love the serious side of Bette as well as her occasional uptightness but I also love when she has fun and turns on that charm that the ladies love so much.
Welcome back Command:
I like very much your story; it is very much your style, I was missing it; the thematic is excellent and I think the story is very promising; thank you so much for bringing this (the topic) here. I will be waiting for a sooner update. Thanks again

Dear Proteonomics,
My thanks for your welcome back and appreciation of the complex theme. I’m making plotting notes for the next chapter and beyond.
Very disappointing story.
I’m so happy to see you post again .I love your stories and this looks like its going to be another great story. Please post soon .
Hiya Don70,
It’s enjoyable to get back to fiction writing. I’ve missed it terribly! Feels good to vent through Bette, too. As has been said many times in the American media of late, no one can believe the unravelings of this administration and to write it as a political thriller, no one would believe it. Then I thought – Well, I can come up with something that Bette would enjoy a romp through. Believable or not, I’m delighted you’re enjoying the tale so far!
Thanks for the new story. I’m intrigued because I do believe trump is crazy. Looking forward to more
WKM, Agreed! While on a recent bike ride Trump’s escalating non compos mentis was unnerving to envision so, I gave the case to Dr Porter. We’ll do less brain surgery in the next chapter and more action. So far, we have a brilliant doctor, a black horse, an able trusted assistant and a crush on a TV pundit. I think I can shake and stir that into something interesting!
My thanks for your comment!
Welcome back and wow, with a story involving Bette and a Black horse, both dear to me. That and a Tv pundit who she has a crush on and the Trump character who is crazy and not alone in fiction, is a very interesting mix for a fantastic story!
I am happy that you are back!
Looking forward to the next update!
Nice to see you too!
We’re in sync on Bette needing a dark horse as a friend. I have a wonderful picture of Nightingale we’ll see in the next chapter…coming soon.
I was particularly focused on the breaking news from Capitol Hill yesterday and it couldn’t possibly have been any stranger, except of course today it is!
Upcoming, Doctor Porter has some interesting thoughts on mental psychosis. I hope you’ll find those and more interesting.
You’re back! And with a bang! Looking forward to chapter 2. I think I see how our neuroscientist comes to cross paths with a political reporter. ;)
How clever of you! One hopes their meeting involves a bang as well!
Very, very interesting story, please post more. Okay, how the heck did they know Bette had a theory about the President-elect. She only talked to Cassie about it, then whispered in the man’s ear with him unconscious. I want more of this story. Please post more. Thanks.
Delighted you’re engaged and hoping for more. We go into theories in Chapter Two. I hope you find her delivery amusing. I’ve written most of the next chapter and plan to post before dark CST time.
