Blood

Some time later, Calvin sliced through the ER. She knew who she was looking for... but wasn't expecting quite so much blood. "Good god, Karr..."

[silverblackkarr]

He hears her voice, but it takes a minute for it to register. He lifts his head slightly, hands sliding to the back of his neck as he blinks up at her. "Susan? I thought you were in New York..."

"The Knight girl called me; I took an earlier flight." This downplays a hell of a lot of yelling at airlines and eventually Xanatos's aid stepping in on her behalf. "Alyson?"

A single tear trails down his cheek and he nods. "Shot in the leg...hit her femoral artery...they're working on her now."

Karr looks up as Clare stumbles into the waiting room. He knows he should get up, help her with her suitcase, but can't bring himself to get up again, not yet.

She finally sees him and rushes over, dropping her suitcase a couple of chairs down.

"How is she? How are you?"

"They're working right now. She lost a lot of blood, but the doctor seemed optimistic," he looks down at the floor, still leaning on Susan. "Clare, this is Susan Calving, my...programmer, or mother, as you wish."
