Chapter 54

Kingman was beside her as she slid down to the floor, blood flowing from the wound in her shoulder. “Tell them to get up here,” he ordered Garry, who immediately left the room. He returned quickly, followed by a pair of EMTs carrying a stretcher, and one of Kingman’s deputies.

The EMTs immediately began to work on Alicia, assessing the damage. “We need to get her to the hospital ASAP,” one of them said as his partner dealt with staunching the flow of blood.

Kingman nodded, telling the deputy to accompany them. It didn’t take long for them to load her on the stretcher and leave.

While they’d been doing that, Garry had dropped down next to Wylie on the bed, folding him in a tight embrace. They stayed that way, not speaking, until Kingman said, “Damned good thing I was out on patrol when I got the signal. Otherwise…”

“I’d be another notch on her belt,” Wylie replied shakily.
