I thought a visit would be better than a call. On the way over, I called B.O.S.S. headquarters, to see if maybe I could get some information about Pops, or at least leave a message for them to give to him. It was Holiday, after all. The only two things they confirmed were that he was there and that he wasn’t allowed visitors. When I got to Gran and Pops’s old building, I automatically put my hand on the auto-recognition pad. When nothing happened, I remembered I didn’t live there anymore. Pressing D14, I said, “Nina Oberon for Harriet Pace.” In a moment, her face popped up on the monitor. “Lord! Nina? Come in.” When I got off the elport, Harriet was standing outside her door. “How is Edith? I’ve been worried sick about her. I heard from her only once. The hospital won’t tell me anything, and this darn sciatica’s kept me laid up.”
