Before the Meeting (Hen and Mz. Hyde)

Previous.
Mz.Hyde: *Mz. Hyde enters the library.* Is everyone here?
Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  ( Shortly after Mz. Hyde, a disheveled Hen enters and collapses gratefully in one of the chairs, smiling apologetically. ) Sorry I'm late. The crisis around here has increased the volume of patients quite a bit. It's a miracle I got to take this lunch as soon as I did. Have I missed anything?
Mz.Hyde: We're just getting started Hen...and by the way... thanks for taking care of Catt when we visited the hospital.
Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  ( His face softens. ) It was nothing, I only wish I could have done more.
Mz.Hyde: *She silently nods. She still couldn't believe that Catt's CAT-Scan came back negative for any internal damage, yet her speech had been impaired and her eye was messed up. Still, Mz. Hyde put on a brave face.*
Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  ... It's not exactly my place to say, but I have a feeling that a lot of her symptoms would subside if she reduced the pressure on her brain. ( His brown eyes glint hopefully, wondering if she would catch on. )
Mz.Hyde: Would bed rest help?
Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  There is ONE thing that could, but it's a procedure I would need consent for.
Mz.Hyde: What?
Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  The bullet's still in there.
Mz.Hyde: You want to remove it?
Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  It's a medical necessity but this, like every other treatment, requires consent. Unfortunately now that she's awake and present, getting that consent is trickier.
Mz.Hyde: Wait, I am confused...what do mean by "Now that she's awake and present?" How can you get her consent without her?
Dr. Jekyll II ( Mother Hen ):  What I mean is that she's up and walking, breathing on her own, and interacting with people around her. Her life is not in immediate danger which makes the legalities of the surgery quite a bit more difficult. To remove the bullet from her skull, we would first have to prove that she is not capable of making rational decisions regarding her health. We would have to transfer conservatorship of the person from her to her next of kin
Mz.Hyde: Ugh, legalities! Where's Utterson when you need him? Damn lawyer scum! Probably chasing ambulances right now as we speak!
 *So much had happened:  Hela’s arrival, Hela’s attacks, Catt almost dying and now this.  She sighed. It was almost too much to deal with, almost.  First Mz. Hyde had to deal with the root of the problem before she could help Catt.  She walked to the front of the crowd ready to begin the meeting.*
