Chapter Fifteen

Riley

When Colin finally opened his eyes, it took everything I had not to leap across the room and hug him. He sat up and threw his legs over the ER bed as if he was going to try and stand.

“Whoa.” I rushed toward him. “Don’t get up yet.”

He rubbed his face roughly. “Where am I?”

“Baptist Memorial.”

He stared at me blankly, looking a little lost.

The urge to take him in my arms was almost overpowering. The alpha in me wanted to comfort him. “Remember that crazy girl injected you?”

He closed his eyes in a slow blink. “Oh, yeah.” His face tinted pink.

“I was so worried about you.”

He grimaced. “What did she give me?”

“Brevital Sodium.”

“Shit. She was like eighty pounds wet and she got the drop on me.”

“Just be glad she told us what she gave you. It made things a lot easier on all of us.”

He rubbed the back of his neck. “I deserve to be fired.”

“What?” I scowled. “Why?”

“She caught me completely off guard.” He began buttoning his shirt; the ER doctor had loosened it earlier to examine him.

“That’s because she seemed harmless.”

“I know better. No one is harmless.” His eyes were a stormy blue.

“Don’t be so hard on yourself.”

He ignored me. “Can we go?”

“Doctor said she just needs to see you awake and she’ll sign you out.”

“I need to make some phone calls.”

“Be patient. There’s no reception in here anyway.”

A harassed-looking woman in a white coat came into the room. She had her glasses on her head and a deep line between her brows. She held out her hand to Colin. “Dr. Edwards. Pleasure to meet you.” She didn’t miss a beat before she tugged a little light from her pocket and flicked it up to Colin’s eyes.

He winced and gave an uneasy laugh. “I’m sure I’m fine.”

“I’m the doctor, so I’ll be the judge of that.”

“Okay.” He gripped the exam table, his fingers crinkling the paper cover.

“You’re lucky. Brevital Sodium clears out of the system fast.” She straightened, searching the top of her head for her glasses. She grabbed the clipboard on the counter and signed a form attached to it. “You’re all set.”

“That was quick,” I said.

“Just wanted to make sure the drugs are mostly gone.”

“Thanks, Doc,” he said.

“You got it.” She exited the room so swiftly, I was surprised the posters on the walls didn’t fly off.

“I think she’s busy.” I smirked.

He slid off the examination table. “I need to call my superiors and let them know what happened.”

We left the little room and handled the paperwork quickly. Several people asked me for my autograph, which struck me as odd seeing as we were in an emergency room. Once we were in the limo, he called his boss. The person on the other end was so loud, even I could hear them, but Colin’s face never showed an ounce of emotion. He tried a few times to get a word in but gave up after several failed attempts. He finally hung up and stared out the window, looking glum.
