Chapter 14

Turning into Sherrie’s driveway, Tony was disappointed to see that her car was not there yet. Amazed at how quickly she had acclimated into his life, he could not wait to see her. And if our after-dinner plans turn out the way I think they will, then—

His cell rang and he grabbed it out of his pocket on his way toward the front door hoping it would be her. Seeing Matt, he connected, although disappointed.

“Tony, you gotta get to the hospital. Richland General. Sherrie’s here. She was attacked.”

He felt his legs go weak, stumbling as he turned and ran back down the front steps. Oh, Jesus. Not again. Twenty heart-wrenching minutes later, he pounded through the doors to the ER and was met by Matt. Vinny, Gabe and Jennifer came in right after him.

“Where is she?” he bit out.

“She’s back here. I’ll fill you in as we go.”

Matt told him about the call to 911 and what he knew so far.

“What the fuck was she doing there anyway?” Tony asked.

“She said she was trying to check out some of the businesses that her CASA child’s stepfather owns.”

As they arrived at the ER room, the doctor was just coming out. Assuming Tony was another policeman, the doctor reported the extent of her injuries. “She has a pulled shoulder that we’ve given her a sling to keep immobile, as well as some bruising around the face where her assailant held his hand over her mouth.”

His knees weak again, Tony barely noticed when Gabe and Vinny moved to either side of him. “Can I see her?”

“I don’t think she’s up for any questioning now that she is on pain meds. She’ll be ready to check out soon, once someone comes to take her home.” With that the doctor moved back down the hall.

Taking a deep breath, Tony strode into the ER bay, then halted as soon as his gaze landed on his woman in the bed. Faint bruises were around her mouth and nose and her arm was in a sling. Her eyes were shut but the purple shadows were evident. A strangled sound came from his mouth, causing her eyes to jerk open.

A sloppy grin split her face as she greeted him. “Tony? Dish you come fer me? Ooooh, you brought some friensh?” she said, looking past him at Jennifer and the other men.

Crossing the room, Tony leaned over to place a kiss on her forehead, saying, “Yeah, I came for you, baby. What the fuck happened?”

Her large blue eyes teared as she tried to focus on his face. “You’re mad at me,” she wailed.

“Tony,” Jennifer admonished, moving close to her friend. Grabbing Sherrie’s hand, she leaned down and said, “Oh, honey, he’s not mad. He’s just scared for you.”

Sherrie’s tears dried up as quickly as they had come, replaced by the sloppy smile once more. Looking up at Tony, she pulled his head closer and tried to whisper, “You gonna spring me from thish joint?”

He rolled his eyes as the others behind him tried to hide their smiles.
