"Why Marshall Hunter, what brings you here?" Salika Danes asked in surprise. "And you have Rachel and Cody with you? Are you feeling ill, Marshall?"
"Uh, no ma'am. I feel as fit as a fiddle. We've come to talk to Doc Danes on some official business. Is he in?" Teaspoon replied.
"He's in with a patient right now, but he should be done shortly. You can wait for him in the waiting room." Mrs. Danes said, opening the door wider to allow them entry.
"Thank you, ma'm. " Teaspoon said as he, Rachel and Cody stepped into the foyer.
Mrs. Danes led them into a large room off the foyer, that was decorated in earth tones and furnished with a mismatched collection of oak chairs and tables. After showing them into the waiting room, Mrs. Danes asked them if she could get them something to eat or drink before she left. All three declined and Mrs. Danes excused herself and disappeared through a door they knew led into the Danes' living quarters.
As soon as Mrs. Danes left the room, Teaspoon stood up and went over to another door opposite the chairs that they had taken. He knew that this door led into the hallway that connected the examining rooms, surgery, and Doc danes office together. He opened the door, slipped into the hallway and motoned for Cody and Rachel to follow him. He led the way down the hallway, pausing briefly before each closed door to listen to voices coming from inside, before going onto the next one. It wasn't until they had reached the a door that had Doc Danes name written on it in fancy handwriting, was there search rewarded. Teaspoon tapped lightly on the door one time, before opening it and going inside with Rachel and Cody behind him.
