Rising from the Ashes
"Dr. Lloyd! Thank goodness you're still here. I wouldn't have known where to find you otherwise!"
A young boy, out of breath, rushed up to the doors of the medical center. Spotting Andrew, his face lit up with relief.
Andrew studied the boy and asked, "Who are you? Do you need something?"
The boy, no older than thirteen or fourteen, looked sharp and clever. He quickly responded, "Dr. Lloyd, sir, I'm from the Aicker family. I'm Dr. Aicker's youngest apprentice, and Francesca is my senior."
Andrew nodded in realization, smiling. "Ah, so you're Fran's junior. What's the matter? Take your time and tell me."
