"As best as I can tell Anna he's stable, but it is serious. He could be bleeding inside somewhere, but we don't know yet for sure."

"Was he shot?" Anna asked on a moan.

"Yes a bunch of times, but only one penetrated and it didn't go far. In addition to the bullet shock his organs suffered I think he has a slipped disc in his back as well. Do you want to ride along with him?" Flint asked.

"Yes!" Anna responded and one of the men who had carried the stretcher helped her up into the van as she held onto Kevin.

She sat down beside Tyre keeping Kevin close against her. Tears dripped off her face. She didn't like seeing him like this, but he was alive!

She was grateful for that, but it hurt to see the cost of what it had taken to rescue Kevin. Tyre's eyes flickered open and they found her.

In a whisper he said, "He talks!"

Anna reached for his hand and clasped it tightly as she nodded vigorously, "I know!"

His eyes closed and she felt a moment of alarm and quickly felt for his pulse, but it was there and going steady and she let herself relax again. She held onto him with one hand and onto Kevin with the other. They were a family again.
