    Greetings from sunny California, I started working in the L. A. County Hospital Pharmacy. The Chief nurse doesn't know David…probably because he's only there two days a week. On my first day of work, there was a terrible shootout at the Emergency Entrance and an ambulance was in an accident. I saved the patient's life by suctioning the air out of his chest cavity. His sister, Rosa, was so thankful she offered me a place to stay. She wants to help me find David. Tonight she's taking me to a charity ball…should be fun! Love, Betty
