CHAPTER NINE

There had been no updates on Liz since she was rushed into the emergency room. Gabriel had stood helplessly as the EMTs wheeled the gurney through the sliding doors at the ambulance bay. Unable to enter there, he’d made his way to the waiting room, where he now sat with Gwen and Andrea.

He stood and strode over to the receptionist’s desk. She must have seen him coming, because she suddenly became focused on her computer screen and didn’t look up when he stopped in front of her. He waited a moment for her to acknowledge him. When she didn’t, he tapped on the window.

“Miss, may I have your attention?”

She looked up with exasperation on her face. “What is it now, Mr. Decker?”

“I need to know how Miss Madison is. We haven’t heard anything.”

The woman sighed and shook her head. “You’ve told me that the last five times you’ve been to my desk, and my answer is still the same. The doctor will let you know when he can. Now, why don’t you sit down and be patient? It won’t be much longer.”

He wasn’t about to get any information out of her, and he frowned as he stormed back to his seat. “What did she say?” Andrea asked.

He slumped in his chair and rubbed his hands over his eyes. “The same thing she said before. The doctor will let us know something soon.”

From the chair next to him Gwen reached over and patted his arm. “Don’t worry, Gabriel. She’s going to be fine.”

“I hope so.”

He gritted his teeth and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed and recalled watching Liz enter the workshop. If he hadn’t gone to answer the knocking at his door at that moment, he would have seen who locked the door behind her, but he hadn’t. Now all he could do was berate himself for not being with her. From now on both he and Andrea would be at her side at all times.

“Coffee, anyone?” He opened his eyes and saw Dean striding into the room, carrying a container with four cups of coffee. “I went to the cafeteria and got this for us.”

Gwen and Andrea took their cups and settled back in their chairs. Gabriel pushed to his feet. “No, thanks. I think I’ll check with the receptionist again.”

Dean caught him by the arm before he’d gotten halfway across the room. “Gabriel, calm down. We have to let the doctors and nurses do what they’re trained to do.”

He turned and glared at Dean. “And we’re supposed to sit here and do nothing?”

Dean set the container that still held two cups down on a table and inhaled deeply. “Come with me.”

Without waiting for a reply he headed to the other side of the waiting room. Gabriel started to protest but decided it would do no good. He followed Dean and dropped down in one of the chairs. Dean took the other one and scooted closer. Then he leaned forward and clasped his hands in front of him.
