him, but
she let him off with a warning.”
    “ He touched her, first
thing?” Kyle asked, angrily.
    Bill nodded, “Then, as she was showing him
to his horse, we heard her tell him to let her down. When I rounded
the corner, he had her lifted above him by her arms, shaking her,
and then he dropped her. That’s when her ankle broke.”
    “ Where is he?” Chevalier
hissed.
    “ Dead, we took care of
him,” Bill said, proudly.
    Pat came back in, “The helicopter is
ready.”
    Chevalier picked Emily up. He hated the way
she was limp in his arms.
    “ Kyle, come with me. You
three, go talk to the recruits, this won’t happen again,” he
growled at them. The three cavalry members bowed and headed out the
door.
    As Kyle and Chevalier got into the
helicopter, the pilot spoke, “We have an ambulance waiting at the
helipad.”
    Chevalier nodded and fastened the seat belt.
He took Emily’s head and held it against his shoulder. Her foot had
grown larger and the bruise was traveling up her leg.
    “ How long until we get
there?” Kyle asked the pilot, as he saw the city beneath
them.
    “ Only a few more minutes,”
the pilot told him, and he was soon bringing the helicopter down
onto the helipad. As promised, an ambulance was standing
by.
    The paramedics took Emily from Chevalier
after Kyle reminded him that he had to let her go. Kyle crawled
into the front of the ambulance with the driver, and Chevalier got
into the back with Emily. He watched as the paramedics braced her
foot. Even with the medication, she groaned with the pain and
Chevalier hissed as his eyes narrowed. They worked on her the
entire way to the hospital, and by the time the ambulance pulled
into the garage, Emily had an I.V. and several ice bags on her
swollen ankle.
    As the EMT’s wheeled the gurney into the
hospital, a nurse came and started asking questions, filling out a
small form.
    “ Name?”
    “ Emily Russo,” Kyle said
when Chevalier didn’t.
    “ Age?”
    Kyle did the math in his head, “She’s
27.”
    “ What happened?” the nurse
asked, still writing.
    “ She got bucked off of a
horse,” Kyle said, noticing Chevalier glanced at him.
    The nurse quit writing when the doctor came
in and shook Chevalier’s hand.
    “ Let’s see, what have we
here?” he asked, before picking the ice packs off of her ankle and
frowning.
    “ She got bucked off of a
horse,” Chevalier told him, following Kyle’s story.
    “ Ok, let’s get an x-ray and
then I’ll know more. Erm… why is she unconscious?” He raised an
eyebrow.
    “ There’s a doctor on my
staff. He gave her pain medication,” Chevalier said, not noticing
the way the doctor cocked his head to the side, curiously, when he
mentioned that he had a doctor on staff.
    “ Both of you, out,” another
man said. He came in and placed a heavy lead apron over Emily. Kyle
and Chevalier stepped out as he took x-rays of her foot. Kyle had
to hold Chevalier back when they heard Emily groan as the tech
moved her foot slightly for a different angle.
    When the x-rays were done, the two heku
returned to Emily’s side as a nurse put medicine into her I.V.
    “ What is that?” Kyle asked
her.
    “ Antibiotics, we’re
prepping her for surgery,” she said, smiling at Kyle.
    “ Surgery?” Chevalier asked,
as the doctor walked in.
    “ Yes, her ankle’s pretty
bad,” he said, as he brought her x-ray up on a computer screen. He
pointed out the multiple breaks.
    “ We’re going to have to pin
those to get them to set correctly. The surgery shouldn’t take more
than a few hours. Ahh, Dr. Phillips…” the E.R. doctor said, shaking
the hand of a man that walked in.
    Dr. Phillips bent down and studied the x-ray
as the other doctor spoke, “Dr. Phillips is an Osteopathic Surgeon.
He’ll be doing the surgery.”
    Chevalier watched as Dr. Phillips turned to
Emily and moved her foot around. She moaned slightly and Kyle again
had to restrain Chevalier.
    “ Ok, let’s get her in
there. If it swells
