Kate nodded. "'kay. Okay."
She walked along with Roan and the E.R. doctor took her into the staff restroom to wash up.
Duke shook his head and looked at Halo. "What happened?"
The other Rescue Crew member looked over his shoulder at the men who'd been arrested.
"They drove up, trying to find their friends."
Kaleo could only imagine how it looked to the friends of the deceased.
They showed up at a scene, and their bodies were still in the car.
"They didn't ask any questions, they just started yelling and demanding we take their friends out of the car and here to the Emergency Room."
Kaleo nodded. It had to look really bad if you were close to someone and you roll up to a horrifying car wreck and see the bodies still in their car. No medical assistance.
Nothing.
"We tried to explain what was going on, but they just talked... No, they just yelled over us. Screaming turning into shoving and... and-"
Halo grumbled under his breath.
"The officers on scene got there, but Greco fell back and hit his head on the car. He's getting stitches right now."
Kaleo nodded. "And Rock?"
Halo looked off to the side and then down at the floor.
"There was a jagged piece of metal bent out from the frame where the car had been ripped apart by the train. Rock landed on it. It took through the back of his thigh."
Two curtains opened at the same time. On one side opened on Kaleo's lieutenant.
The other was a man in custody, held by two uniformed officers.
Kaleo held his breath.
The look on Faust's face was void.
Nothing.
When the officers took the handcuffed man back toward the waiting room, Kaleo saw something shift in Faust.
The man who had walked through fire hundreds of times without a single injury was standing there in the middle of the Emergency Room and again, he hadn't been injured, but two members of his team had.
One of the men who'd been arrested looked up from his seat in the waiting room and laughed.
He fucking laughed!
Kaleo clapped a hand on Halo's shoulder and the two of them pushed through the crowd.
They got there a heartbeat before Faust's fist would have hit the back of the man's head.
Kaleo and Halo basically lifted him off of his feet and walked him back into the examination area.
It took both Kaleo and Halo to get him in a seat and keep him there.
"Let. Me. Go."
