Jarrett expected Anya to protest him carrying her all the way to a healer but she didn’t. She’d only asked once, when they’d started across the bridge to the other side of the river, why he hadn’t hired a rickshaw. She’d accepted his explanation without argument that carrying her would be faster because he wouldn’t get caught in traffic, and it would jostle her ankle less and cause her less pain. To Jarrett’s mind, her acceptance was a sign of just how much pain she was in. Anya wasn’t nearly as cantankerous as Fiona, but like her sister, she didn’t like giving up control. Though they hadn’t known each other long, he knew her well enough to know that under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t allow herself to be carried across the street, much less across town.

In an effort to get her healed as quickly as possible, he jogged across the bridge, careful to keep her ankle from bumping his body, and all the way to the clinic. It wasn’t until Anya opened her eyes and saw where they were that she gave protest.

“Jarrett, this is City Hospital. You can’t bring me here. They only treat employees of the city-state or Blades. I’m neither, so they won’t treat me. There’s a public clinic further down Broadway.”

He didn’t trust her health and her ability to walk on the chance that the med-mage at the public clinic had enough power and skill to take care of her properly. Though the healer’s guild had high standards in the med-mages they certified to work in the clinics around the city-state, the fact was not all healers were created equal. They had different levels of power, and though every clinic was supposed to have at least one high-level med-mage on staff, there was no guarantee they would be on shift at the clinic. And, the city’s public clinics usually worked with a minimal staff. City Hospital, located directly across the street from the Blade Headquarters, was the only place he knew of that was guaranteed to have several high-level med-mages on shift at all times.

“There’s no guarantee there is a healer qualified to help you at the other clinic, but there is here. Don’t worry, they’ll treat you. You may not be a Blade, but I am,” he said, giving her a wink. Then he tilted his head and grinned. “As a matter of fact, not to brag or anything, I’m a pretty high-ranking member of one of the most elite special squads in the Blades. They’ll treat you.”

“But…”

“No buts, you’ll see a med-mage, the highest ranking I can find, and you’ll hush about it.” He signaled the end of the conversation by shifting her weight against him so he could use one hand to push open the door.

He stepped into a small, sterile-looking lobby with a large desk in the center. The young man at the desk idly looked up as they walked in, and then jumped up. “How can I help you? Do I
