The more she tried to remember, the worse her head hurt. “I can’t remember.” A tear slipped from the corner of her eye to run down her cheek.
The doctor patted her hand. “Don’t be too alarmed. You had a concussion. Temporary memory loss can be a side effect.”
“Will it come back?” Kinsley asked. “Will I remember where I’m from and who the president is?”
He smiled down at her. “You should. Give yourself time to recover. We’re trying to get a transport to send you back to a higher-level medical-care facility, but we can’t seem to find a C-130 we can tap into for the next couple days. You might be stuck with us.”
“I’m fine,” she said, and pushed up on her elbows. “I need to get back to work.” She shook her head. “If only I could remember what work I do.”
The doctor touched her shoulder. “Don’t strain your brain. The memories will return, given time.”
She lay back on the bed, her gaze following the doctor as he left her room. Kinsley wanted to call him back, to make him give her some pill or potion to force her memories to return. Not knowing things was confusing and frightening.
Her gaze shifted to T-Mac. “Why are you here?”
He smiled. “I wanted to make sure you were going to be okay.”
“I’m okay. You don’t have to be here. I’m sure you have more important things to do.”
“Do you mind if I stay? I’m not on duty or anything. After being here all night, I feel invested in your well-being.”
She shrugged. “Suit yourself. I’m probably going to go back to sleep. Maybe when I wake up again, I’ll remember what I’ve forgotten.” She laughed, the sound catching on a sob. “I don’t even know what I’ve forgotten.”
