Chapter / Episode List of the Heathville Serial
Wade came up to greet Stewart when Stewart sent a text message to his mom that he was there. Wade was shocked to see Judy and Steed with him.
Stewart said, “I bumped into them when I was getting gas and I told them where mom is and what is going on.”
Judy said, “How is Tiffany?”
Wade said, “Not good. I sure hope Leroy is able to come up with the other two medicines that he needs.”
Steed said, “You know my father owns the Hearthville Hospital and I used to work at it. I can help Stewart and Leroy get into their database. I wish I could get the meds from the pharmacy but I made some calls. I don’t think that is going to be possible.”
Wade nodded.
Wade escorted them down into the cave and to Leroy’s Lab. Stewart and Steed looked around.
Steed said to Leroy, “This is nice. Show me where your computer is where I can get into the hospital database.”
Leroy took Steed to the computer.
Steed said, “I don’t know whether you will be able to access any information you don’t already have but maybe.” Steed brought up the database and then Leroy took over to type in the search information.
Stewart watched them at work. He called Roger on the phone and explained the situation. Steed gave Roger the information to pull up the hospital database on his end. Leroy told Roger the four medicines that Doc Hawkins had been giving his patients.
Roger typed in what they knew about the four meds and how they might work together. “Okay. You are fighting H1 and H2 inflammation. I see where that would be good. Okay, what this other med does is it actually works to reduce the viral load. And this other med fights any opportunistic bacterial load that might infect the person because of any inflammation from the virus. Let me type in some stuff. I have a program that will hopefully model this out. It is working, working. Shit. It needs me to enter another chemical. I am going to have to guess. It did not accept that. Try again. Try again. Fuck. Hell. Okay, there it is. Here is the telnet address to my system where you can access the information.”
Leroy looked at the information on Stewart’s phone. He pulled up his telnet program and went to the information. Leroy took Stewart’s phone. “Man I could kiss you. This is what I needed. Thank you so much.”
“No, thank you and Doc Hawkins. I have a friend who needs this cure. Will you be able to get the chemicals?”
“Yeah. That will not be a problem. And if you have a problem accessing what you need then just let me know and I will get the chemicals to you.”
“I am not sure. Could you just send me the chemicals.”
“Absolutely. And do not worry about paying.”
Steed and Judy looked at the information. Steed shook his head. “I never realized how smart my cousin is. Like unbelievable. I guess next to Roger and Victor I should be wearing a dunce cap.”
Judy patted Stewart on the shoulder. “I miss you and Roger being friends.”
Stewart nodded.
Roger said, “Yeah Stewart. I miss that also. You know you are always welcome to visit me.”
Stewart said, “Same.”
Ellen took the phone. “Why don’t you and your mom both come for a visit? I would like that.”
“I will talk to her and let you know.”
“Good.”
Leroy very quickly worked the magic spell to obtain the chemicals and make the medicines. Tiffany responded overnight to the treatment.
