At the hotel, a blanket from the police station was used as a makeshift gurney to carry Caleb gently from the SUV. The eyes of everyone in the lobby turned to stare with surprise as Caleb’s gurney was carried at one end by Katrina and the other by Alton. Dori followed behind them with one hand rubbing at her jaw.

Dr. Reynolds was already standing in the lobby wearing his white physician’s lab coat with Paige at his side, and he led them to his small examining room.

“Whoever did this is going to pay,” Paige angrily muttered as she stared down at Caleb with painful disbelief as he lay on the examining room table.

I’ll personally rip them apart, she promised.

Caleb weakly moaned, but his eyes remained closed as he appeared to drift in a semi-conscious state.

“The primary culprit is already dead,” Katrina coldly muttered between clenched teeth.

“Good,” Reynolds whispered as he used medical scissors to cut the shirt from Caleb’s body, being careful not to tug on the material or cause him further pain.

Katrina’s and Paige’s eyes met briefly with surprise at the doctor’s comment.

After a moment’s pause, he added, “I’m a doctor, but whoever did this obviously enjoyed the task. The world’s a better place without them.”

Agreed, Katrina thought.

A momentary pang of curiosity echoed in her mind at what must have transpired in the hours that Caleb and Dori had been gone, though she realized that the time for explanations would come soon enough. Her primary focus returned to the wounded man whom she loved so dearly.

“Caleb? It’s Ethan. Can you hear me?” Reynolds quietly asked as he lifted each of the young man’s eyelids to quickly shine a penlight into them.

Caleb moaned again, and his eyes fluttered open.

“Ethan?” he asked.

He felt confused, and pain coursed through his midsection and head. His eyes managed to focus slightly, and he looked up into the faces of the doctor, Katrina, and Paige as each peered down upon him.

“Dori? Safe?” he asked with sudden recollection of the events at the police station, only hazily remembering arguing voices and the sounds of gunshots.

“I’m here, Caleb,” Dori softly replied from a nearby chair.

Alton stood with his arm gently wrapped around her shoulders.

“We need to examine you for injuries, Caleb,” Ethan said.

“Ladies first,” Caleb offered in chivalrous fashion.

He had no idea how injured Dori might be.

“Sorry, Caleb. This is a triage situation, and you won first pick,” Reynolds lightly said.

“Lucky me,” he groaned as a wave of pain shot though his stomach.

“I’ll need to ask everyone else to move into my office next door, please. I need to examine him,” the doctor politely instructed.

Alton gently led Dori from the room. Katrina looked at Paige and motioned with her head to the door. Paige patted her friend on the shoulder as she passed.

“I’ll be right outside,” she said.

After she shut the door, Reynolds looked at Katrina.

“I’m going to need a little space to work, please,” he said before returning his attention to his patient. “I’ll try not to hurt you further, Caleb, but you’ll need to communicate with me as best you can.
