Safe

Kenzie slowly opened her eyes. She was feeling weak and a bit dizzy. But it was nothing before the loud drumming of her heart. She did not remember what exactly happened before it all went blank, but she was worried something bad might have happened to Daryl. 

Has Daryl been shot? She saw Karen grab the gun and then the last thing she remembered was Daryl hugging her tightly and whispering 'I love you.'

"Oh my God, you're finally awake!" Cris gasped and started to rise to get the doctor but Kenzie grabbed her wrist.

Kenzie was teary-eyed as she whispered weakly, "Daryl? Where is Daryl?" 

She saw Cris smile. Kenzie started to sob, feeling relieved as those smiles indicated that nothing bad had happened to Daryl.

"Where is he?" she whispered.

"He is talking to the police right now but he will be back soon. You are both safe. You just passed out because you're exhausted and…" Cris paused mid-sentence.

"And what?" Kenzie asked worriedly.
