To his vast relief, Logan found Giada lying on her back in the leaves, staring up at the trees overhead.

Her expression was dazed; she must have been hurt more than she’d thought.

“Hey.” He sank down beside her. “You okay?”

“Umm.” She blinked at him slowly. “Yeah.”

Logan did not care for the way she said that. He wasn’t entirely sure she even knew who he was.

“Jesus Christ!” It was the sheriff, leading the pack of searchers at Logan’s heels, his expression irate and worried. “Is she all right?”

“I’m fine.” She tried to sit up, groaned, and promptly lay back down again.

“You stay here,” Logan told her, then looked up at Jones. “Where are the paramedics?”

“On their way with a stretcher.”

“I said I’m fine.” Obviously intent on proving it, she reeled to her feet.

Logan rose to join her, looking her over in concern. She had no visible injuries, but she was swaying like a pine tree in a high wind. Reaching out, he steadied her with a hand on her elbow.

“You don’t look fine.” Sheriff Jones frowned as the other cops gathered around them in an interested mob. “You need to get checked out. You could have been hurt in that blast more than you think. And what the hell were you doing, running off into the woods like that?”

“Looking for the killer.” She swayed.

Blue eyes narrowed. “Dammit, you’re a civilian. Hunting bad guys is our job.” The big man’s jaw worked in frustration, and he made a throwaway gesture with one hand. “Wasting my breath. You don’t even know what planet you’re on.” He glowered around in irritation. “Where the hell are the paramedics?”

“Right here, Sheriff,” a man called, carrying a backboard into the clearing.

Giada managed a glare, swaying. “I don’t need a doctor.” “I say you do,” Jones told her firmly. He glanced at Logan, hovering by her elbow. “And while you’re at it, check out the lieutenant,” he told the paramedic. “He doesn’t look so good either.”

“Yes, sir.” The man put down the backboard as his partner dropped the medical kit beside them. “Have a seat, y’all.”

Logan didn’t even consider offering an argument. He felt like crap—bloody, exhausted, and nursing a headache that felt as if a Dire Wolf was whaling away on his skull with a hammer.

“Come on.” He pulled Giada gently to the ground. “Let the nice paramedics do their job.”
