woman won, the woman was incredibly tough but seemed strangely vulnerable, the woman had eyes like
the sky, the woman was going to be the mother of his childrenтАФhe prudently kept to himself.

тАЬYou said the other one was in here, Dr. Dean?тАЭ one of the guards asked and that was when Jared saw
the womanтАЩs assailant was gone. The only thing left of him was a small puddle of blood on the table,
presumably from a nosebleed. тАЬFan out,тАЭ the guard said to the others, тАЬhe canтАЩt have gone far, not after
Dr. Dean bashed him around.тАЭ

тАЬActually,тАЭ Jared began and then shut up. He didnтАЩt want to get the woman in more trouble, so heтАЩd
take the blame for KOтАЩing the bad guy. It hadnтАЩt been the first time people had taken in his size and
assumed he was capable of violence. And he had been, in his youthтАФcertainly heтАЩd been in more of his
share of after-school scuffles. But years of stitching up victims, of probing for bullets and setting smashed
limbs, had made him lose his taste for it. тАЬUhтАжactually, I should get back to work.тАЭ

тАЬYou got a description for us, doc?тАЭ

тАЬFor Nosebleed? Sure. About six-five, two hundred fifty pounds, shaved blonde hair, one black
eyebrow, one dislocated shoulder, one broken nose.тАЭ

тАЬUh-huh,тАЭ the guard asked, stepping close to Jared and sniffing him. This might have been intended to be
a subtle move on the guardтАЩs part, except the man had a deviated septum and Jared could hear the shrill
whistling intake when the man inhaled. тАЬBroken nose, one eyebrow, weтАЩll get right on it. You have
anything to drink before you came on-shift?тАЭ Sniff-sniff. Whistle-whistle.

тАЬDonтАЩt be ridiculous,тАЭ Jared snapped. тАЬI gave up booze when I took up heroin. Seriously, I havenтАЩt had
a drop. The bad guy really did look like some sort of mutated freak of nature. Now go get him!тАЭ Before
he catches up with whatтАЩs-her-name, he added silently.

The guards went, save for one who stayed behind to make sure Jared did his part of the dreary
paperwork. Jared obediently followed him to the Security Office to fill out a report.

For the rest of his shift, he couldnтАЩt help looking over his shoulder and peeking around corners, as if the
woman might have come back. Ridiculous thoughtтАжbut Jared kept an eye out, regardless.

He wondered who she was.

It took Kara an hour to stop trembling. Every time she started to calm down, the thoughtтАжJesus! He
almost had her!тАжwould cycle back into her brain and sheтАЩd get the shakes again.

Carlotti, whoтАЩd been an utter creep since he was ten (and possibly before that) had chased her around
like a dog, cornered her and likely would have killed her (after having a little fun at first, the raping swine)
if she hadnтАЩt gotten the drop on him.

She had spotted him before she was even all the way through the door of the club and immediately
