Chapter 25: The Price
I put the phone face down on the tray table.
"Who's my nurse this morning?" I said.
The dialysis nurse looked up from the station.
She checked the security sheet taped inside the station before she answered.
"Me."
"Open the doors for her."
"Dr. Lane, security banned her from this unit."
"I know. Let her stand at the foot of my bed for five minutes. You stay. Everybody stays."
The nurse looked down the row at the old man in bed eight.
He folded his newspaper and set it on his knees.
"Five minutes," the nurse said.
She went and pushed the double doors open.
Camille came down the row with her page held against her coat.
She went straight for the edge of my bed.
"Not on the bed," I said. "The foot. Where the nurse can see your hands."
She stopped.
She smiled at the nurse, then at bed eight, then at the woman across from him with lines in her arm.
Then she stood at the foot of bed nine.
"You've seen the result," she said.
"I've seen it."
"Then this is easy."
She raised her voice a little, for the room.
"I'm not asking for money. I'm not asking for anything I shouldn't have. I'm asking for the truth."
"Go on."
"My early discharge hearing is four weeks from tomorrow. Thursday, the ninth, at ten. The parole board will be there. My lawyer, the press, everyone."
