Chapter 3
âWHAT?â SHE PULLED back. The way Samantha barreled forward, Hank knew she was probably used to having to self-correct. âIâm not supposed to be up here?
Not technically, no. She wasnât. The only people allowed on board were either paid by the Darling Bay Fire Department or specially cleared for ride-alongs. If Chief Barger rolled by and looked up to see a citizen in one of his rigs? Heads would roll, and the first head spinning would be Hankâs.
But instead of telling Samantha Rowe that she couldnât climb up, Hank reached a hand down to help pull her up. He felt that stupid grin cross his face, the one he always got when she was anywhere around. Dummy. âCome on. Watch your head there.â He pointed her to the spare jumpseat. âAre you okay?â
âThat was terrible! So scary!â she said, leaning forward so she could rest her elbows on her knees. For a moment, he forgot she was talking about Jim Hinds and thought she was talking about the climb up. Sheâd always done that to himâconfused him until he didnât know what was up or down. Her hair, that wonderful brown waterfall, fell forward and, for a moment, hid her eyes. Was she crying? Hank felt two simultaneous urges: to leap forward and wrap his arms around her and to throw himself out of the rig. No way was he worrying about her again. No way.
Samantha looked up at him, but instead of tears, her bright green eyes were sparkling with excitement. âThat was amazing, what you did.â
They really hadnât done much. Theyâd assessed Jim and strapped him to a gurney. His pulse on the 12-lead was strong enough that they didnât even go code three. âNah.â
She laughed, that sound as pretty and sweet as whatever light scent she was wearing, the scent that Coin with his dogâs nose would be able to pick up as soon as he climbed back on board. âYou saved a manâs life.â
Saving lives was what they did. And Jim hadnât been a save so much as a push to the hospital where he definitely needed to be seen. Something was wrong with the guy, but nothing immediate. âHeâll be fine. Heâll be home tonight, nursing those bruises that got put on him by your group of aggressive women. What were you doing to him in there?â
Samantha flapped her hand. âAh, you know. Beatinâ the tar out of him. Every girlâs gotta learn how sometime.â
âIt looked like you were killing him.â
âNo, it didnât! Did you see how well he was suited up?â
âIt wasnât easy to get through all that padding to get the leads on, so yeah. But did you see that bruise on his right arm?â
Samantha looked a little guilty. âItâs possible that Myra Tenbottom got a little carried away with her kicking. But that just means she was really into it.â
Hank straightened his legs. The hardest thing about being the firefighter in the back of the rig was that it wasnât big enough to fully stretch out.
