“Stop it.Fuck.It’s me.”
His deep familiar voice has me freezing and my heart stuttering.I stare into his face.
Reaper.
My eyes widen and I tug at his hand on my mouth.
“You gonna keep quiet?”he asks.
I nod and tug it harder.He moves it.
“It’s literally against the law to say the Q word in the ER,” I snap.
“What?”He frowns.
“Quiet.You say quiet and then all hell breaks loose.”I push him but he doesn’t move.“What the heck do you think you’re doing here?”
“I’m all hell breaking loose, honey.”He nods at the door.“We got to go.”
“What?Where?”
“You asked me to help the girl.”
“Consuela, yes.”
“We’re helping.Right now, my club brothers have her in a cage in the lot.”
“A cage?”I’m horrified.
“A car, chill, woman.”He opens the door and looks out.“Come on.”
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“You said she needed medical attention for a few more days.You volunteered yourself.”
“But I’m on shift.”
“Don’t look like you’re needed.Now, are you coming willingly or do I have to throw you over my shoulder and kidnap you?”He wraps his big hand around my upper arm.
“Where, though?Go where?”
“We have a safe house out of the city.The Hyenas won’t find her there.Then when she’s stronger, we can get her home or wherever she wants to go.”
“Fuck.”I rub my temple.There is no way I can just leave the ER.I am one of only three doctors on shift.If there is a major incident it would be carnage.
“If you didn’t want to get involved you shouldn’t have brought us this problem.”A tendon flexes in his cheek.
“I didn’t know...”
“You should have.Now come on.Because believe me, I will throw you over my shoulder and carry you kicking and screaming if necessary.”
“No.No, that won’t be necessary.But let me get my purse.”
“Fair enough.”He keeps his hand tight around my upper arm and we step out of the cupboard.
“That way.”I nod at the staff room.
“No fucking funny business.”
