~ Los Angeles, the LA Medical Center ~
Friday
The day of Vasily's surgery arrived…
Sarah was in the waiting lounge in the surgery wing of the LA Medical Center with Stella who flew from Eastern Europe in order to be here. Stella is one of the few selected people from the Lebedev family who are aware of Vasily's condition.
Edward also came to the United States, but he used this chance to spend a few days in their 'real home' in Seattle, how he calls it. The truth is that he wanted to upgrade his secret room which he used as SP3CT3R. After so much time at the base of the Lebedevs, technology advanced, so his hi-tech spot is not so hi anymore. Also, his presence there won't help Vasily, while Stella will get more time with their daughters and grandkids.
Stella said that she will join him as soon as she hears that Vasily's condition is stable, and if he finishes his work before that, then he will join her in Los Angeles.
