He thought about what had happened while waiting in the ambulance. The man had resorted to violence right away. Windbag had not just hit him, but had knocked him on his ass. A lesser man would have been hurt, like a human. What if a child had upset him? What would Windbag have done then? Taken his candy. Dad asked him if he was all right. Dad, he hit me. Dad said that he’d been upset about being shown up. I guess that was my intention, but I never meant for him to be fired from this. He will be, too. Someone will get a burr up their butt and he’ll be asked to step down. The nursing home alone will be something that gets him into trouble. Not to lie to the public, that’s one of the number one rules of being the mayor. He’ll have to explain that one to the people here. Your mother will be the one doing that too. Asking him why he’d say such a thing, and why he’d not known about the nursing home. She does not condone any kind of violence, and when I had to hit him, and it was my pleasure, that made her twice as upset. You know her when she’s upset. He did too. Like I said, Jules, play it up for the camera. Not just for this, but because you hit your head and we don’t want any questions on that either. The news reporters were in full force too. But he liked Lisa and the fact that she’d helped him out, though not knowingly, of course, but she had helped him. And her interviewing the mayor about the nursing home, that was a biggie too. He was bombarded with questions. “Mr. Stanton, are you pressing charges?” “What provoked him to lash out at you like that?” “Are you truly going to take his place when he’s asked to step down?” The questions came at him fast. But instead of getting to tell them anything, Tess told them that she wasn’t allowing him to answer questions; he might have a concussion and she didn’t want him to say the wrong thing. He was in the ambulance before he could tell her that he was fine. There were more news vans there when he arrived at the hospital. He wasn’t sure what to make of it, so he just laid back and let himself be carried in. His eyes closed, he ignored the questions in favor of trying to think. Ruby was sleeping on his chest by then, making him feel a great deal better about life in general. Tess was barking orders that he needed to be let go inside, and when he was in a little private room, she kissed him on the mouth. “You scared the shit out of me.” Ruby lifted her head, then dropped right back down to sleep. Tess lowered her voice. “You do that again and I’ll beat you.” “I didn’t do anything.
