The television high in the corner of the waiting room was playing the news. The anchorwoman looked concerned as she read off the report.
"One man was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after a city bus hit his bicycle. Alexander Durance was admitted to Tampa General with multiple fractures -- including one to his skull -- but no other details on his condition have been released.

A doctor removed his surgical mask as he approached two figures holding hands tightly as they sat in the uncomfortable chairs. He looked confused. Befuddled, even.
"Ms. Knight? Mr. Bartlet? I don't know how to tell you this... I'm not even sure what the hell happened. But Mr. Durance is fine. He died on the operating table but he came back." With no help from his staff, he'd admit later. "In fact, he appears to be recovering from all the injuries he suffered during the accident. It's ... well, a miracle."
