“They’re shaken up, but I think they’ll be okay. I told everyone to take the rest of the week off. I have to go check on Barb.”
“You should have been there, Grayson. It was intense.”
“How did Aunt Barb get shot?” he asked as he cleaned my wound.
“Well, that part was unexpected. See, I had this plan. I yelled at the guy to get his attention because I knew he’d come over to me. I needed to distract him. He didn’t like what I said, so he hit me in the head with his gun. It’s not the first time I’ve been hit in the head with a gun.” She smirked. “Anyway, he knelt in front of me and said he was going to kill me first, so I dug my thumbs into his eyes as hard as I could, headbutted him, and when he fell back, the gun went off and unfortunately hit Barbie. Once I had him on the ground, I kept punching him until he passed out. When Shaun grabbed me and pulled me off him, I jammed my foot into his ribs for one last hit.”
“Jesus Christ, Kate. Was that necessary?”
“Yes, Grayson. It was.”
“I’ll be right back.” I grabbed her hand. “I have to get the suture kit. Don’t you dare move.” I pointed at her.
“Yes, sir.” She saluted me.
“Carly, go stay with her, please.”
“On it, Dr. Kind.”
“Hey, come in here,” Simon said as he pulled me into Bay 4. “Look.”
“She did that to him?”
“Yep.” Simon grinned. “That’s our Kate.” He patted my shoulder. “I have to go check on my mother. The rest of the family is on their way.”
I grabbed a suture kit and took it back to the room.
“Let’s get that head stitched up.” I smiled when I walked in. “You’re lucky this is all he did to you.”
“I wouldn’t have let him do anything else,” she said. “He threw your Aunt Barb to the ground, threatened to kill everyone in that office one by one, and was going to make Shaun watch. The guy is a certified psychopath.”
“I just came from his room. You roughed him up pretty badly.”
“Not bad enough as far as I’m concerned.” She smirked.
“Thank you. Thank you for saving Ava, Shaun, Aunt Barb, and everyone in that office.”
“You’re welcome, Grayson.”
“There. All done.” I smiled.
“You know, Ava is going to kill you if there’s a scar.”
“There might be a small one, but I’ll just keep reminding her it’s the scar of a warrior.” I winked.
She flashed a smile and closed her eyes. When she opened them, Ava was back.
“Grayson? What the—”
“Shh. You’re okay.” I leaned over and kissed her lips.
“Why does my head hurt so bad?”
“You have stitches in your head, but you’re going to be okay.”
“The last thing I remember is being at Shaun’s office and this guy coming in with a gun. He shot it up in the air and was yelling at everyone.”
“Kate took over, babe.”
