After the men leave and the motel manager moves Justin’s group into our new rooms, we all sit quietly in heavy contemplation. Chris calls on the phone and asks for me.
His voice sounds exhausted. “Why did you ask about the sick one earlier?”
I figure Jonas must be nearby, and Chris doesn’t want to say his name. I answer Chris’s question saying, “I couldn’t believe they missed the problem. I asked a couple questions and got nowhere. I’ll find a more experienced Healer to help.”
“Calli, would you please tell me about your vision?”
“I’ve already told you, you’ll live.”
“Why the change? The last time you looked at my future, I was going to die.”
“I guess I figured out the magic formula that keeps you alive.”
“What did you change? Why will I survive?”
“I’m tired and I’m going to bed. Bye.” I hang up the phone before he can respond.
