“Well, he will wake, but we can’t be sure how he will be.”
“Explain that,” George requested.
“As you know he was dead for six minutes. There could be some brain damage and he has a head injury.”
“So he could wake up a bumbling idiot, meaning he’ll need full lobal programming.”
“Yes, but we’re hopeful that won’t be the case. We’ll know more when he awakens. Which, like I said, will hopefully be soon. He is getting stronger by the hour. But I must tell you, if you want this man, alive and working, then any attempts to prep him for CME implantation will have to wait for three to four weeks.”
“Because of the head injury?” George asked.
“Yes and the fact of his illness and injuries. You want him completely healed before any more surgery is done.”
“I can wait a month,” George said “I waited this long. As long as I have him alive, that’s my ace in the hole. I’m going to get a lot of leverage and a lot of gain from this.”
“One more thing, sir. When he awakes, what if he asks about the Beginnings woman? What should we tell him?”
“Tell him nothing. It most definitely is in our best interest to keep those two as far apart from each other as possible. Whereabouts, unknown. We gain more control. Trust me.”
Dr. Morris nodded. “I’ll keep you posted.”
“Please do. Thank you, Doctor.” Before George stepped away, he had to see. Slowly he walked into the room and listened to the strong beeping monitor. He walked closer to the bed. With his hands folded behind his back, George stood at the side of the bed. He glanced at the intravenous, then to the monitor, and to the bed. He stared at the peaceful face that didn’t twitch and the eyes that were closed. George leaned down to him. “Hello, Frank. I got you.” George grinned wide. “You son of a bitch. I finally got you.”
