“You’re not trained in this,” Bennett stated.
Before I could respond, Brice said, “But he can be trusted. And that is what we need right now. I say, let him stay the night. He can be the eyes and ears here. I’ll stay as well.”
Now what, Bennett?
I could tell he was pissed.
“I’d rather have my men here,” he stated.
“Good. When they arrive tomorrow, I’ll tell them I'm feeling better, and head back to the resort,” I said.
“And I’ll go with you. I will call Logan. I don’t want him coming here with his family until this is settled,” Brice said.
Bennett nodded. “I agree. It’s settled. You two, keep me updated.” When he got up, he reached behind his back and laid a Glock on the desk. “Don’t use it unless you need to. And if anything looks out of the ordinary, call me immediately. My men will be here within minutes to check it out. Don’t do anything foolish,” he warned.
I got it. TJ didn’t wait, and Bennett didn’t want a replay of that last time. Neither did I.
Brice grabbed the gun and locked it in the desk drawer. I thought it would be better if it was closer, but Bennett was right. Neither Brice nor I had been trained for this. But I knew we’d both do whatever we needed to protect the people here.
I got up and said, “Guess I better head to the emergency room and get myself checked in.”
Bennett said, “I better go with you.”
“Why? I know where it is,” I replied.
“You want them to believe you or not?” he asked.
“Why wouldn’t they?”
He chuckled.” I think Nurse Meri would question whether or not you’rereallyfeeling dizzy.
Brice cocked a brow. “Why would she question it? She’s very professional from what I’ve been told.”
I smirked. “Aww, but I’m not.” Turning to Bennett I said, “Come on. Let’s get this over with. You have other things to attend to.”
“That I do.”
I really hoped this would work. No one else seemed overly concerned about the hospital, and hopefully, they were right.
CHAPTER7
Meri
“Hello, Nurse Dedra. Is there a problem?” I asked when she had come to my office.
“I’m not sure. We have a patient in the emergency room who is complaining of a headache and dizziness, but all his vital signs are normal.”
That was possible. “Did the ER doctor look at him?” She nodded. “And what did he find?”
“He didn’t see anything either. But...but I thought you might want to go and look for yourself,” she said.
“Me? Why? The doctor already said he was okay.” Dedra hadn’t ever questioned a doctor's decision before.
“Mr. Stone brought him in. It’s...it’s his brother. You know the one who was here several days ago.”
Ryker was here. He had wanted out of here so badly that I couldn’t imagine he had come back willingly. “I’ll come with you. Thank you for letting me know.”
“Of course.”
