Broken Wings -VI-
Max stared at Sebastian impatiently. "Well, what is it? Was I right?"
Logan gave her a look but it was Sebastian's electronic voice that spoke.
"It seems that something has interfered with her hearing."
"Wow. You figured that out all by yourself?"
"Max!" Logan snapped. He couldn't believe how rude she was being. Sebastian was doing them a favor and all she could do was sit there and spit snide remarks at him.
"It's okay." Came Sebastian's voice. "Max has every right to be concerned. The damage does not seem to be stabilizing but getting worse."
"What does that mean for Nita?" Logan asked.
"There is no way to be sure. If it continues, she will lose her hearing completely but there is no telling if the damage will stop there or continue. Until we know exactly what causes it, she may be in danger."
"What kind of danger?" Max asked.
"It could be anything from loss of certain functions to seizures to death."
Max stared through the glass at the child laying on the table in the room with technicians. She pictured a seizure racking the small body and her blood seemed to freeze in her veins. It was one thing for her to go through it but she would be damned if she stood back and watched while it happened to Nita.
"What can we do?" She asked Sebastian.
"There are only a few doctors in the world with enough expertise in these things. One died in a car accident this morning. I just read the bulletin before you came. The one is the best is from China but he is very difficult to reach. It is rumored that he is involved with some top secret government programs perhaps even black ops."
"You have no idea how to contact him?" Logan asked.
"He does have family but there locations are unknown. Some say they are dead. Others say they are scattered in China and the US, maybe even in the California area. It is all hearsay and speculation."
Logan nodded.
"What are you going to do?" Max asked. She knew that look by now.
"I think it is time to contact see what Eye's Only can dig up on this doctor. If this Doctor does have relatives in the US, we will find them."
