Tombstone Estate

[Midori]

Location: Tombstone Estate, Planet Gran Canaria, Omega 49 System

It had been several days since Dr. John Holliday returned home from his Corinth meeting, a meeting that his doctor opposed but allowed him to attend. Once home, he was put into his own bed and once again, his doctor sedated him to keep him asleep making twice daily trips to the Estate to monitor him.

Midori was left to care for him, monitoring his fluids and vitals. Slowly, he was improving with each passing day.
She sat at his side, reading, singing and sometimes just talking to him. If it wasn't for the presence of Grady, she would feel totally alone in the big Estate house.
At least once a day, she would also head out to the com room. She knew the one person who should know wasn't anywhere to be found, Doc's old friend, Malcalypse.

"Malcalypse, this is Midori. Please, if you get this, come to Gran Canaria. John has fallen ill and..."
She had to stop to contain herself, fighting back tears. With her face dampened, she forced herself to finish each day. "He is getting better but I'm still scared for him. Please, Mal, come home."

Finishing a cup of tea, she maintained her vigil over her husband, hoping each day would be the day life somewhat returned to normal.
