Healing the Alien’s Heart

Chapter 1

Raven’s jet black hair threatened to cascade down her face as she peered into the open cavity of an amber colored Arbogodian who travelled weeks through space just to get into her clinic. With its three hearts beating out of sync, she worked her gloved hands around the being’s organs, trying to get them all in rhythm. The slight jolt in one of her fingertips was worrisome, but her gloves hadn’t malfunctioned in weeks. She could have sworn she worked the kinks out of them, but her index finger jittered again.

I need my extra glove, she called out from behind her operating mask. The plastic shield wrapped around her face like she was wearing a HAZMAT suit, but her voice was as clear as day. One of the assistants in the room rushed to prep an extra operating glove. Another waited patiently for Raven to pull her hand out of the body.

Glove is ready, Dr. Glass, the assistant held it up proudly.

Raven sighed as she used one hand to hold her place in one heart while taking her malfunctioning hand out. The two assistants worked to switch the gloves. It was like watching a NASCAR service pit. They moved fast, and before Raven could think about scolding them for their sloth-like movements, it was done. She resumed her surgery finishing a few hours later.

With her hair now flowing freely, she stood in the cozy medical suite of the alien she’d just operated on. She could tell he was woozy, but she was certain that he was able to understand, Everything went well. Your surgery was a success. Your hearts are beating in sync and within a few days, all of your organs will follow suit. You should start feeling like your normal self within the next day or two. Stick to the diet I gave you in your take home package and I don’t want to see you back here unless it’s to bring me flowers. Okay, Mr. Geradfwew?

Understood, the alien nodded. Flowers will be sent in abundance for all that you have done for me. Thank you for making the time.

Well coming from the third moon of Arbog is quite the journey to make. I thought it only right that I do. The bill is in your take home packet too.

Wait, I brought you something that could cover it. Please check my bag there. You Earthlings have a thing about rocks, right?

Raven’s cool grey eyes narrowed their gaze onto the creature as she walked over to the bag. Inside were no mere space rocks. One rock was encased in a thick plastic case that she was almost scared to touch. The other two in the bag were uncut gemstones; one sapphire and the other a ruby. Both stones were about the size of golf balls and Raven was sure they’d net her over a hundred thousand dollars.

Just the sapphire and the ruby. The Uborium has another destination to get to. Thanks again, Dr. Glass, he told her solemnly.

She smiled and left the room marking on his chart that his balance was paid in full. Once she was in her office, she put the stones in a special tin box and closed the lid. It was lined with special sensors that told her everything she needed to know about the mineral, especially its value. The commas and zeroes were much higher than she expected, but she knew she was worth every penny.

There was a subtle knock on her door, followed by the top of Dr. Monroe’s head poking into her office. Dr. Tracy Monroe had been working with Raven since she opened her private practice. She opted to treat their human clientele while Raven focused on the others. Her voice was high pitched and bubbly with ringlets of curls bouncing all over the place.

You have a call, she sang. And your mom left a message saying to bring over that pink wine she likes.

Of course, she wants to get drunk on the one night I agree to dinner. I need a vacation and I think I’m going to start that now, Raven joked. You know I just spent six hours elbow deep in an Arbogodian? I’m going to have to soak in oatmeal and talc to get this smell out.

Six hours isn’t bad. I just did a triple bypass on Mr. Wellington and that took me forever! she stepped into the office and plopped down on the leather chair in front of her desk. Raven’s medical degrees and awards all hung on the wall proudly alongside dozens of pictures
