“Trust me, you can. Send everything for the incident.”
I stand and then head to my car. As soon as I close the door, I hit the button on my phone to call Jax. I forgot to ask the EMS which hospital they took her to.
“What’s going on?” he answers.
“I need you to help me with something,” I rush out so fast that my words blend, and I’m not sure he will even understand me.
“Calm down, man.”
I take a deep breath.
“Someone tried to kill Payton.”
“The fuck?”
“I need you to tell me what hospital she went to, and after, I’m going to need you to look over the footage, but first, the hospital for Payton Hart.”
“On it.” I hear his fingers hitting the keyboard. “How’re you holding up?” he asks as he continues his search.
“Not well.”
“She’ll be okay.”
“She better be.” I grunt because I won’t even humor the idea that she won’t be.
“Found her. Mercy General. It’s five miles from where the GPS on your car says you are. Make a left on Franklin, and you’re there.”
“Thanks.”
I call Cyrus next, and before he can even say hi, I’m speaking.
“I’m on my way to Mercy General by Ludlow University. There was an accident.”
“Shit,” he grits out. “What’s going on? Are you okay?” The worry in his voice is palpable.
“Not me. Payton.” It feels like ice is spreading through my chest as I tell him about the accident. When I’m done, he inhales deeply.
“Is she okay?”
“I’m not sure yet, but I need a favor. Fuck, I need all the favors.”
“What can I do?”
“I need you to call whoever you know at the hospital and pull some strings. I want to be able to see her. Also, whoever you know on the police force. I want all the info on Payton’s accident sent to Jax.”
“Done and done.”
“Thanks, man. I owe you.” I hang up the phone and continue to drive. Cyrus knows everyone. If anyone can get me in to see her, it’s him.
Because I will see her. Today. And then when the time comes, I’ll take her back home and take care of her.
No matter what she says. Because I won’t give her a choice.
I’ll make her.
Once I arrive at the hospital, I pull up right in front of the building. I don’t bother going to the lot. I just throw it in park. They can tow my ass for all I care.
They won’t, though, because Cyrus will take care of that.
