Chapter 17

I spent a great deal of time Monday morning exchanging e-mails with my lieutenants and Chief Bridges, but I kept the e-mails devoted exclusively to business, making no mention of Robbie.

THE NEXT SEVERAL days were instructive and occasionally frustrating. We came to know Robbie… and to love him, and I think the feelings were reciprocated. We took him to the local hospital Tuesday morning and waited forever until a young surgeon came to tell us that everything had gone as planned. We were allowed to spend a few minutes with him, but he was kind of groggy from the drugs he’d been given.
