The commercial jet landed in New York at 5:47 p.m.
Ethan Walsh was the first to come down.
He was thirty years old, an inherited fortune that appeared regularly in financial magazines and a disease that very few people knew.
Advanced infiltrative cardiomyopathy.
Complicated by extremely rare vascular malformation.
Two European medical centers had refused to operate.
Three American surgeons said the same.
The conventional intervention had an unacceptable likelihood of ending in massive bleeding.
I had developed a hybrid technique that could give it a real chance.
That's why the Walsh had looked for me.
And that's why Ethan was traveling that day with several members of his team.
Upon getting off the plane, his administrator Marcus Reed immediately checked his phone.
I had received a bank notification.
Transfer received: $3,000,000.
At first he thought it was a mistake.
Then he saw the sender.
Amelia Hart.
And the message:
LOOK FOR SOMEONE BETTER.
