36 Days After

Today's the day I planned to meet Garret. I walked into the hospital and asked if surgeon Garret Turner was available. "I'm sorry sweetie." The secretary said. Why does everyone call me sweetie! I'm 16 years old. "We don't have a surgeon Garret here. Maybe your thinking of Dr. Tod?"

"Is it ok if I meet with Dr. Tod when he is available?" I ask.

"Oh of course. Sign your name and number here and I'll call you when he's available." I thank her and go back home.

Today was more uneventful than I hoped. Maybe she will all me later today... But I still keep wondering. Does Garret really work there? Or does he not? If he does, he's either not a surgeon or he changed his name to Tod for work. But that doesn't make any sense. The most reasonable explanation is that he doesn't work there but tells everyone that to keep himself hidden. But why would he do that?

My head started to ache with millions of these types of questions. I lie down and decide to take a nap.

***

I awake to find a voicemail left on my phone. "Dr. Tod has agreed to visit with you tomorrow after his shift. Please call back to confirm this meeting."

I immediately called back and confirmed to the desk secretary. I hope I get answers tomorrow.
