Excerpt
“Here, let me
help you,” Morgan said as she draped Devyn’s arm around her shoulders.
Morgan tried to
relieve as much weight as she could from Devyn as she helped her hobble to the
waiting vehicle. Once Devyn was seated in the cramped back seat, Morgan dug out
her emergency supply bag. She handed Devyn a blanket and a bottle of water. “I
have a first aid kit, but I think you need something a little more than a
bandage.”
“It’s just a few
scratches. I’ll live.”
Morgan could see
why Nick trusted Devyn with his back. As she looked at the battered and bruised
woman, who had taken off into the desert in the middle of the night in bare
feet to prevent a criminal from getting away, she had to admire her. Devyn had
to be in extreme pain, yet not a complaint escaped her lips.
“Make room in the
back,” Nick huffed.
Morgan looked up
to see Nick trudging toward her with an inert man slung over his shoulder. She
raced to the tiny back cargo area and moved a few items around so Nick could
squeeze the body in the vehicle.
“Is he dead?”
Morgan whispered.
“Not quite, but
we need to get him medical help A.S.A.P. The bullet didn’t hit any vital
organs, but I’m not sure how much damage he suffered from the knock to the
head”
Morgan watched as
Nick set the man down in the vehicle, and then she joined Devyn in the back
seat. Turning around and kneeling, she was able to lean over the seat and
assess his injuries. She folded up a handkerchief and placed it over the
gunshot wound and applied pressure. She wasn’t sure which was bleeding more,
the bullet hole or the bump and cut to the head, but she had to try and slow
the blood loss any way she could.
“That’s all we
can do for now,” Nick said. “Just keep the pressure on the best you can.”
Morgan nodded as
Nick secured the back and then got behind the wheel.
“You okay?” Nick
asked as he turned to face Devyn.
“I’ve had better
days, but sadly, I’ve had worse.”
