Chapter 61
She could see the lights of her mother’s hospital ahead. Dom…wasn’t talking to her right now. At least, not in full sentences. He was hurt and being stubborn. He was probably thinking he was protecting her from the reality of their situation or something.
Her caveman did think like that.
“No. Not here.” His words actually made her jump.
“Why? We know people there. People who could help.”
Then she saw what he meant. Six TSP patrol cars were in the parking lot. Blocking the entrance to the emergency room. And there were road officers there—that she did not recognize. Nope. Not going to happen.
Never in her life would she have ever imagined a time when the sight of so many TSP cars would fill her with dread instead of hope.
Madison turned her car away, and drove by the entrance.
County Gen was just up the road, and while she did know the owner of that hospital, too—it was Nikkie Jean’s rather attractive older brother and their father, too—she didn’t know anyone else there.
And with a gunshot wound, the physicians would have to report it.
Bringing the same kind of trouble. There were TSP patrol units out everywhere tonight.
She needed to get him somewhere away from the TSP completely. Like…another jurisdiction or someplace like that. Or…maybe to someone with a private plane—or three—that could fly them out to someplace far away from here. Which—she did know someone with his own private jet.
She’d kissed three of his cousins—at different times—after all.
Madison turned her car south. She really didn’t see another option.
