“I’m a Physician Assistant,” Jana said.

“A damn good one,” Sadie said.

Jana dumped the bloody rags on the rolling table and removed her gloves.

“Sadie, could you get Mr...” She looked at me.

“Snake,” Gunner said and then laughed at the shock on her face.

“Oh. Okay, please get some clothing for him to wear home.”

Sadie left the room, and Jana grabbed the clipboard and started writing things down.

“Do you know if he’s had a tetanus shot lately?” she asked.

Gunner looked at Iron and saw him shake his head.

“No. Sorry.”

“That’s okay. I’ll give him one when Sadie gets back.”

“When can we take him home?” Iron asked.

“After the IV bag is empty and he wakes up from the sedative we gave him,” Jana said.

Gunner almost laughed. He knew his friend would be pissed she snuck it in, but Snake had been getting riled up.

Sadie came back with clothing and booties. “This was the only stuff I could find that might fit him. The man is huge.”

“We could have someone bring us some clothing,” Gunner said. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. He could tell she knew what she was doing and was damn good at it. He could also tell she cared about the patient. He gritted his teeth when Jana touched Snake’s forehead and then wiped a bit of blood off the side of his face. She was doing it professionally, but he still didn’t like it. He knew it was because he’d already claimed her in his head, but he was the only one with that information.

“If they don’t fit, we might have you do that. It’s against the rules to let naked people leave the ER.”

Sadie started laughing, and the two men smiled.

“Sadie, could you get three syringes and these meds for me?”

“Sure.” Sadie left.

“He should wait to shower for twenty-four hours, and even then, I’ll want him to wear a waterproof bandage over the stitches. You’ll also have to bring him back in ten days so the stitches can be taken out. If there’s any redness or it gets swollen, come back.”

Jana went on to talk about fevers and things to look for that might be enough to have him checked out. Gunner only heard half of it, but he wasn’t worried. They would send home the instructions, and he’d hand them off to Alicia, the club’s medical person who took care of them. He thought he could see them as friends if or when Alicia and Jana met. It was something that might happen in the future after he made her aware of the situation.

He smiled. He couldn’t wait to see what she did. He watched her give Snake three shots.

“One is for tetanus, the other an antibiotic, and the last is for pain,” she explained. “I’ll send home some pain pills with you.”

Gunner nodded. “It will be taken care of.” The people in the room watched as Snake woke. He was groggy, but Gunner knew if there was danger, Snake would fight through it.

Jana said something to the nurse and then turned to him. “Sadie will take out the IV and get him ready to go. If there’s a problem, she’ll call me back.”

“Thank you,” Gunner said.

Jana smiled. “You’re welcome.”

Gunner watched as the curtain was pulled over for privacy, but he could hear her voice in the room as they got Snake dressed.

When they were walking out, he looked around and couldn’t see her. Even though he was disappointed, he knew where she lived and worked, so she couldn’t hide from him if she tried.
