tropical rain fell in drenching sheets, hammering the corrugated roof of the clinic building, roaring down the metal gutters, splashing on the ground in a torrent Robert Carter side and stared out the windows from the clinic. She could hardly see the beach or the ocean beyond, cloaked in a low fog. This wasn't the way she had expected when she had come to the fishing village of Bahia Anasco on the west coast of Costa Rica, to spend two months as a visiting physician. Bobby Carter had expected sun and relaxation, and after two gruelling years of residency and emergency medicine at Michael Reese in Chicago, she had been in Bahia now for three weeks, and it had rained every day. Everything else was fine. She liked the isolation of Bahia and the friendliness of its people. Costa Rica had one of the 20 best medical systems in the world, and even in this remote coastal village, the clinic was well maintained, amply supplied. Her paramedic, men well, was intelligent and well trained. Bobby was able to practice a level of medicine equal to what she had practiced in Chicago. But the rain, the constant, unending rain across the examining room, Manuel cocked his head. Listen, he said. Believe me, I hear it. Bobby said. No, listen. And then she caught it. Another sound blended in with the rain, a deep rumble that built and emerged until it was clear the rhythmic thumping of a helicopter. She thought they can't be flying in weather like this.
