As far as he knew, Jesse had yet to utter more than a few words to Maggie, but he looked relieved to see her, anyway.

Maggie extended her hand to Jesse. "Come on, handsome, we'll all go together."

Jesse took her hand, and the entire group, including Mrs. Durham and her poodle, headed for Water Street.

Now, Gabe's deputies lifted the sheet-covered body from the ambulance wagon and carried it into Ralston Van Huff's examining room, stretching it out on a sterile table. Ralston pulled back the sheet and examined the young man's head, turning it this way and that, no doubt looking for abrasions.

"He has a bump here," Ralston said, feeling a spot slightly behind the temple area, concealed by his thick head of hair, now frizzled and matted. Gabe helped hold the body in place so Ralston could inspect the wound more closely. "It's quite a gash, but my guess is he hit a boulder when he went under. Probably knocked him out as soon as he hit it. Bet the kid never even had the wherewithal to gasp for breath-which could be a blessing when you think about it."

With Gabe's help, Ralston started removing the boy's shirt. He was a skinny thing.

"I wonder who he is," Gabe mumbled while Ralston continued his examination, starting at the neck and moving downward. One of the deputies was looking pale and excused himself, and that's when Gabe discovered Hannah sitting in a chair in the corner.

"Hannah, you shouldn't be here," Gabe said, his throat clogged with unexpected feeling.

"I told her to go home," Ralston mumbled, completely absorbed in his work. Gabe couldn't help but appreciate the doctor's thoroughness, even if his bedside manner was sorely lacking. "Humph," he tacked on.
