Lilly bundled the dart into her jacket. “We have to get Yasmin out of this crowd ASAP and call 911.”

“Damn it to hell.” Big Bird growled. He scooped Yasmin up in his arms. “This can’t be happening. I promised to protect you.”

“Yeah, well, shit happens,” Yasmin said. “Put me down. I can move myself.”

“Not as fast as I can move you.” Big Bird pushed his way through to the sidewalk and down a deserted side street.

Lilly pulled out her cell phone and dialed 911, gave the dispatcher directions to get to them via the less crowded back streets and warned them to dress for contagious conditions. When she hung up, she dialed Hank and apprised him of the situation.

Moments later, Hank and Bear arrived. A siren wailed from the far end of Main Street, heading their direction.

“Where’s Sting Ray?” Hank asked.

Lilly held the jacket away from her body, careful not to let the tiny dart touch her with the dreaded virus. “He ran after someone.”

Bear stood back from Lilly. “Are you all right? Do you think you’re exposed?”

“I doubt it. Yasmin is definitely exposed, but the dart went into her, not us. She probably won’t be contagious at first. But if it replicates quickly, it won’t be long. You two better go.”

“Not without you,” Bear said.

“I think I’ll be okay,” Lilly said, “as long as the ambulance gets here quickly. I’m more worried about Yasmin.”

“I’m fine.” She scratched the wound on her neck, and frowned.

Lilly studied the area surrounding the pinprick, without getting too close. “It’s getting red around the spot where the needle penetrated.”

“You all might want to stand away from me,” Yasmin said her voice not as strong as it had been. “I don’t want you to get sick as well.”

“I’m not going anywhere,” Big Bird said.

Yasmin turned her frown on him. “You need to help them with this investigation. If you stick around me, you’ll catch this nasty bug.” She swiped her hand across her nose and sniffed. “Go.”

Big Bird shook his head. “No can do. I’m staying with you.”

Hank took several steps backward and nodded. “Yasmin’s right. Even though she might be infected, she needs a bodyguard to keep anyone from taking a second shot at her. When Fred and Yasmin both pull through this, the terrorist will be pissed off and ready to take it a step further.”

“Now, we know it’s not any safer to be in a crowd. We need to warn Irish to be extra vigilant with himself and Dr. Boyette. This guy might get frustrated and go after the SEALs next.”

“Let him.” Big Bird’s lips curled back in a feral snarl. “I’ll kill the bastard.”

The ambulance pulled up on the street behind them. EMTs leaped out, suited up and advanced on them.

A few minutes later, Yasmin, along with the jacket containing the dart, were loaded inside and carried to the hospital. Big Bird accompanied her, leaving Hank, Bear and Lilly.

“Are you sure we’re not contagious?” Hank asked.

“Yasmin would have had to sneeze or spew bodily fluids on us,” Lilly said.
