PINA

I am so tired of arguing with these people, I could scream. Short of throwing them out, I really don't know how to get my point across that Tommy will not be going off planet any time soon. Slowly, I become aware of feeling anxious. As I realize that it's Dar, I also realize that he is on the edge of freaking out. Anxiety, worry, panic. I stand abruptly.

"Excuse me." I hurry out of the infirmary and head for the garden. Something isn't right and I'm not going to wait around to find out too late what it is.
