“I asked the night guard to call the precinct fifteen minutes ago.”

Kevin blinked once, caught completely off guard by how quickly the decision had been made.

“What about your sister?

She’s going to start calling the second she wakes up.”

“We’re not covering this up to protect her feelings, Kevin,” I said.

He looked at me for a long moment without speaking, then slowly nodded once.

“Where’s the charge nurse now?”

“She’s waiting for us inside the unit,” I said.
