Tuesday, August 14, 7:15 p.m., Tracy Island, just after dinner

"Hello, Dr. Carmichael"

"Hello, Ms. Hanson. How are you finding your retirement?"

"So far, it has been a lot more interesting than I expected. And call me Anna. We're not working."

"Then it's Drew. Interesting as in, 'may you live in interesting times'?"

"Yeah, that's it. " She grinned at him. "I'm sure Tyler will want to tell you all about his showing me Thunderbird Three."

"Actually, I may ask him for a tour. I haven't seen the sights yet."

Anna raised an eyebrow. "No one's given you a tour before? And you've been an agent for how long?"

"Since the tsunami. Dianne and I surprised each other when I went to coordinate with them."

"I bet Jeff freaked."

"To put it mildly, I hear." Drew hesitated. "A quick heads up. Jeff went down to tour Thunderbird Seven."

"He hadn't seen her since the accident?"

"No. And he handled it better than I expected. Among other things, I convinced him to talk to someone about it, not necessarily you."

"I would be very surprised if he talked to me about it first. He doesn't trust counselors. With good reason." Drew looked a question at her. She told him the story Gordon had told her about the pastor and the leak to CPS.

Drew gave a low whistle. Anna nodded. "Yeah. Between that and the normal military 'I can beat this if I have enough self discipline' mindset, I figure he must have been pretty desperate to call me at all. It's actually pretty impressive. He really does put family before everything."

Anna changed the subject. "So, you looked over Dianne, and she's well enough to eat dinner with the family. Do you think she's up to much strain yet? I want to talk to her about Tyler, but not until she has her strength back."

Drew thought for a second. "Give her at least another week before you drop any major problems or subject her to any major emotional upheaval. Her leg has a mild infection and she's stressed enough right now. Reassure her as much as you can about Tyler but add as little stress as possible."

"What about talking to her about other patients? There are at least two other people on the island she wanted me to see. It also might take her mind off of things to talk about them. And has anyone talked to the two other people that were in Thunderbird Seven? For that matter, are you planning on helping Dianne deal with her own reactions?"

Drew shook his head. "I can start but I won't be here long enough to handle it all. I will try to lay down a good foundation for you."
