The doctor takes a breath and says, "Well yes and no. Saying that Mei Yan was his wife is a bit of a stretch. He bought her during a business trip to China. Using fake documents he married her. Not happy with her appearance he had her get more than a little cosmetic surgery. From the examination of her body I can tell you that she was severly abused. I can also tell you that she was younger than 26 as her papers claim. In my opinion she was around 13 years old when she was married which would make her 20 now. A few years ago he set her up in an apartment here in town. Seems he found others things to play with. With more time to herself she started to develope some independance. When he returned she stood up to him. He then beat her. The beating triggered an aneurysm causing brain death. In his rush to the airport to get away he ran you over. It seemed like fate that you both arrived here at the same time. She had a healty body but brain dead and you had a healty brain, but a dying body. To top it off you were a tissue match".
"Wait, wait a minute. Did you say it was her husband that ran me over", you blurt out?
He nods his head and says, "Yes, he was the one. That's also where this gets interesting. He has fled the country and there is a warrant for his arrest. When he's caught he will stand trial for killing you and a dozen other charges. Mei Yan will be the star witness. Thanks to our contacts with the governement you will be turned over to the US Marshals and placed in witness protection. You cover is that you have suffered memory loss due to the beating so don't worry about having the memorize her life story. No one you come in contact with will have known her anyway. They will set you up with a new identity, job, and house. I've made some calls to make the change as easy as we can. The house is only a block from your old house. Seeing that your wife has been fully briefed there will be no probable visiting with her. I've also requested that they find you a teaching job. This is after we complete all the testing we have to do here".
You just sit there. It's alot of information to process. The doctor gets up, heads out, and just before reaching the turns and says, "Mr. Meadows you've been given a second chance at life. Please focus on that".
