Once they were in the apartment, Jackie contacted a doctor right away.
10 minutes later, a man in his thirties who wore a pair of frameless glasses stepped in with a briefcase in his hand.
The man seemed confused. "Harvey has always been swift... How did he get shot?"
Jackie glanced at Vicky, and so did the man. Instantly, he froze. "This is Miss Shaw..."
"Miss Vicky Shaw," Jackie said.
Vicky noticed something odd about the doctor and Jackie but did not question them. Instead, she greeted the doctor politely. "Hello. I'm Vicky Shaw."
The man smiled at her. "Hello, Miss Shaw. My name is Alexander Raven."
"Do you know me, Doctor Raven?" she asked.
Alexander froze.
"Miss Shaw, Doctor Raven here is bad at memorizing faces and can't tell people who look alike apart," Jackie said. Seeing that Vicky wanted to continue the subject, he immediately urged, "Alexander, there's no time to waste. Mister Sparks is waiting for you to remove the bullet in him."
"Sure." Alexander took one last glance at Vicky and said, "I will go check on him."
Harvey had been shot in the arm, so the extraction went smoothly.
After the surgery, Alexander strolled out of the room and said to Jackie, "I've already taken the bullet out. Try your best to keep the wound away from water, and he needs to rest..."
Alexander seemed to know that it was unrealistic to ask Harvey to rest for too long and said, "Just stay still for at least a week."
Jackie nodded. "How is Mister Sparks right now?"
