AT AKRON Children’s Hospital, Branden parked in the outdoor lot on Bowery Street. He climbed one flight of stairs to the skyway over Bowery, and entered the hospital near the main reception counter. On the right-hand wall in the corridor outside the burn unit, he saw a display of fifty or so fire department arm patches, and opposite that, the outside counter for the unit. He asked about Robertson and was told to lift the receiver on a phone at the end of the hall. At the phone, he explained the nature of his visit, and a nurse from inside the burn unit emerged and instructed him to wash his hands and put on a bright yellow paper gown and mask, each of which fastened in back with tape strips. Inside the burn unit, Branden found Melissa Taggert in a white doctor’s coat, standing next to the central station outside Robertson’s room. Branden walked directly to her and asked, “What’s his condition, Missy?” “It’s worse than I originally thought,” she said, eyes weary and bloodshot.
