The Lost Word – Chapter 7
"Listen," she said softly to Jun-Ying, whose cheeks were red from crying. "I’m going to go and see if I can find your mom, okay? Just stay here with your brother and I’ll be right back."
She got up and let her eyes sweep over the scene. It was too much to take in all at once and she tried to focus on recognizing familiar faces. Over there. She spotted someone who looked like the doctor she talked to before and hurried over to her.
Dr. Charlene Wilson, Patricia Morales & Tasha Williams
Dr. Wilson saw the girl from earlier approach her – the one who had been with the two small children. Dread filled her. She hated feeling powerless, and that’s exactly what she was, to help the little boy with the thready pulse and the clammy skin.
"Any change with the little boy?" she asked.
Patricia shook her head no. "He’s just… he’s just lying there. Still no sign of his mom. I…" She took a deep breath and looked the doctor in the eye, as if she was expecting to find some answers there. "I don’t know what I’m supposed to do."
The doctor pulled the girl into a hug. "Aw sweetheart, there’s nothing you can do. You’ve given that little girl comfort and that’s a huge thing. I’d say to bring them over here, but I don’t want to move the little boy."
"Plus I don’t think you wanna have any kids around when you set my leg," Tasha said.
Her heart was pounding and she kept reminding herself that she was not in Iraq. She didn’t know why. So far this wasn’t any better. Same blood, same sand, same fear.
Paige Sobel & Patricia Morales
"Jared and Shay will be back any minute," Paige stated, worry in her voice. "She’s right, they shouldn’t see this."
The thought of moving from Shane was a cause for concern as well, though, given that the woman’s ribs were so recently treated and she needed to stay as still as possible.
"Would anyone be willing to keep them occupied?" Paige glanced towards Phyllis and quickly turned away.
"I’ll do it," Patricia offered in an instant. "Are they the boys over there?" She turned around a little and pointed towards two boys trying to open a large suitcase not too far from where Wilson and Jun-Ying were. "If it is, I’ve already met one of them."
