Chapter Fourteen

Unlike the previous situation, this wasn’t something they could do alone, or with just a few more people.

It wasn’t so clean cut, because they would need some way to keep an eye on several areas at once. Emma wanted to help, if only to stop it before it came anywhere near her neighborhood.

Chase was not amused.

"Seriously, Emma, why would you do this? Haven't we had enough trouble? Why would you go looking for more when it doesn't involve you?"

Emma sighed, ignoring his exasperation. She watched him pace, glad that she'd had her grandmother and sister sit out this discussion. Chase was wrong that it dint involve her, because it did now. In any case, she couldn’t just sit down, could she? Otherwise, the attacks would continue, and who else would go to stop them? Emma didn’t see anyone else stepping up and she didn’t want to wait until someone else felt like they wanted to take the responsibility.

She knew it was dangerous. So had the last fight been, but this was a necessity. People had died, and they hadn't killed anyone in the hospital, but most of them were because of those bustards, anyway, and now they couldn’t even be treated.

"Someone has to do something Chase," she said, thinking rationally. "Why can't it be me, if I'm willing to do something?"

He sighed then moved closer to her, kneeling in front of her seat and taking her hands in his. He looked up at her, pleading with his expression.

"Yeah, it has to be someone, but why does it have to be you? Just wait, maybe the police might do something about this."

She squeezed his hand back. "Chase, if the police could handle things on their own, they wouldn’t have needed to hirer volunteers in the first place. There aren’t enough of them to keep the whole town under surveillance by themselves, they're going to need help at some point, and from someone."

Besides, it was like she was actually going to do the whole thing herself. She spent way too long talking Chase into her way of thinking, but she wouldn’t be swayed when she already had something like a plan forming in her mind.

Just thinking of those men coming to the hospital, filled with the sick and the injured, and taking their medicine... she couldn’t keep still after that. She would have stayed cautious and kept an ear out for trouble if they hadn't encountered the hospital. Because the second she was there, in that situation and watching it happen with a bunch of other helpless people, it involved her.

Chase didn’t understand her. He thought that she should just be glad they all walked away from it, but what was the problem. Anyone not a patient at that hospital was lucky, but what about the rest? And they had already violently attacked a whole street, what would happen if they did it again? People wouldn’t be walking away from an attack like that.

She just couldn’t not get involved. Not when
