Miles and Ver walked into the clinic hand in hand. "This is day one. If you don't find a cure by day five, I'm going to try to save them myself," Ver warned, keeping her voice in a whisper. "I can't let them stay like that any longer than that."
Miles nodded, worried that five days wasn't enough.
As they entered the stasis room, Miles released her hand and went to Medic Renn while Ver checked on the five patients and those who loved them who were sitting in chairs beside their beds.
The patient's mates all looked briefly up at her as she passed by before returning their attention to their mates.
"How are you doing, Miles?" Medic Renn asked, noting the tiredness in his eyes and the tenseness of his features.
"I'm okay," Miles said quietly. "We need to find a cure in less than five days," he said worriedly. "She will try to save them on day five. We need a cure before she does."
