The emergency crews came crashing down the hillside, carrying a stretcher and tools to get Lazer out of the car. The flash of emergency vehicle lights uphill streaming through the trees emphasized that dusk was falling. Rapidly.

Once the first responders reached us, they shooed us out of the way. A police officer escorted us back to the road.

Sheri and her cameraman scurried in front of us, filming us as we emerged from the woods. I was too distracted to pay much attention to what she was saying. But the mental picture I had of us was amusing enough to cause me to smile. I could only imagine what people thought of Austin and his broadsword.

The cameraman set up lights. Other news crews had discovered the story and begun to descend on us. They unloaded and began asking questions.

Austin put his arm around me and pulled me away from them, shutting them down and shielding me from them. "She's had a shock. Give her some space."

Justin was on the phone with Lazer's mom, filling her in. I felt a pang of jealousy. I should have been important enough in Lazer's life to be the one for that job. It was just another reminder of how much more involved I should have been in his life. How much he'd resisted commitment.

Justin took over as official spokesman while we waited for the emergency crews to bring Lazer to the waiting ambulance.

It seemed like forever as we listened to the sounds of hydraulics and metal being cut and waited for the emergency personnel to bring Lazer out.

Someone handed me a cup of coffee. I drank it without tasting it, glad for the warmth of it in my hand more than anything else. I had learned that in Seattle, coffee was the warm beverage of choice and the cure for everything.

Sheri had moved on to interview the men. At last, the firemen and paramedics emerged from the forest, carrying Lazer on a stretcher.

That phrase "out of the woods" took on a whole new literal meaning for me. I must have been tired. I almost inappropriately laughed at the thought.

"I guess he's out of the woods now," Austin said. He smiled.

"I hope so," I said, knowing full well what he meant.

"I'll never think of that phrase the same way again," he said. "Do you think that's how the phrase got started?"

"I don't know," I said. "Remind me to look it up later." I paused. "You're terrible."

"Am I? It was written all over your face, too."

I shook my head and ran to Lazer's side. I took his hand. He was already hooked up to an IV. One of the paramedics had cleaned up his cheek and applied a compress. Lazer looked better already. He squeezed my hand.

"I'm going with him in the ambulance," I said to one of the men carrying the stretcher, without waiting for Lazer to agree with me.

"I'm sorry. There isn't room, ma'am." The paramedic in charge looked sympathetic, but firm.

I appealed to Lazer for help.
