He crosses the floor.
“Are you all right?”
“Yes.”
“You stayed at the substation?”
“Yes.”
“With Taylor?”
“Yes.”
“You didn’t leave the building?”
“Not until Sheriff Cruz brought us here.”
His eyes narrow.
“You came here?”
“After Patrick was secured.”
“You were supposed to stay at the substation.”
“Someone had been watching us through the camera.”
“It was still safer than this.”
“Sean.”
“What?”
“Sage is fine. Frank is alive. Patrick and Ramirez are in custody.”
“And Navarro has Sally.”
“I know.”
He looks toward Sage.
“She walked into gunfire.”
“She followed the plan.”
“She argued with a man holding a hostage.”
“She gets that from you.”
He stares at me.
I touch his chest.
