“We are going to do our best,” a paramedic assured her as we neared the ambulance.

“Me too,” Candace chimed in from beside me.
“Miss, we need to take you in for questioning,” the commander told Candace.
She looked up at me, desperation in her eyes. She didn’t want to leave Helen’s side and it warmed my heart.
“Go ahead. I’ll go with Helen and you can meet me at the hospital with Samson as soon as you are done.” I kissed Candace’s forehead and squeezed her tight.
