“You’re alright. You made it out. Max made it out. Everything’s going to be okay. Go on. CallRosa.”
“You savedus.”
“I did what anyone would do, Alex. Nothing more.” He sped up, and quickly looked her way before returning his attention to the road. Tears rolled down her face. “You’re one of my best friends,” he said honestly. “I’d do it again in aheartbeat.”
She sucked in a breath and dialed Rosa’s number. She left a message when no one answered. Minutes later, they arrived at the hospital. Sebastian stayed downstairs in the emergency room waiting area, while Alexandra went to find Max. A few minutes later, Nate phoned to tell him the water and fire damage was fairly substantial. The structure was fine, and that meant the house wouldn’t be condemned. With a few weeks of gutting and renovations, Max and Alexandra could be back in theirhome.
“Thanks, Nate.” He stretched his legs out after sitting in the uncomfortable waiting room chair. “This one hit close to home forme.”
“No doubt,” he agreed. “Is your friend okay? He looked pretty shookup.”
“Yeah, he’s mostly worried about his uncle. The poor old guy was already sick before this all happened, so we’re hoping he can bounce back. I haven’t heard any newsyet.”
“I hope so, man. You know, we sure could’ve used you inthere.”
“I know what you mean, buddy. I’m still not there yet. The knee’s killing me, and all I did was help the neighbor get out, carry an oxygen tank, and climb two flights of stairs. The leg feels like crap. Well, I’m glad it was our team that responded. Give me a few weeks. I’ll beback.”
“Looking forward to it, dude. Oh, Chief says get in touch with him when you get the chance. He said there’s something he wants to talk to youabout.”
He groaned, wondering what the chief wanted. “Tell him I will. Later,Nate.”
After he hung up, he sat forward and eyed the clock, wondering when Alexandra would be back out…and what would happennext.
