Mary was visibly relieved as she glanced at Bill.

“That was their attempt to place their yes man, Collier, in the top position at our hospital. And although that take-over backfired on them when you fired Collier, they’ll be patient for the time being, and they’ll acquire another yes man once they find a way to get rid of you. No one knows that you plan, or even desire to leave once you have things in place, so they think you’re here to stay, and they’re really afraid of you.” With that Doc rubbed his chin, staring stoically at Bill.

But I’d also recommend you at least look over your shoulder now and then, and I’d damn well not get caught in any corners if I were you.”

“Yes, I guess I’d better watch my hind quarter the way it sounds,” Bill replied, clenching his fists as he glanced at Susan to check her reaction.

As they all began to make their way along the shaky dock, Bill once again turned and thanked both Mary and Doc for alerting them to what was really going on, agreeing to meet again if and when they found it necessary.

“They’ve shown considerable courage in trying to help me,” Bill thought as he drove away on the narrow dirt road.
