Finally, they arrived at Tibby's. When they were a block away she had told Sarah and David that she could walk the rest of the way by herself. She took a deep breath before going inside. Sarah and David glanced at each other, they both noticed that her face was as white as a ghost. Jack and Les had beat them there. They were greeted by silence, Brat realized she hadn't put her hat back on. Everyone was staring at her.
She whispered, "I'm sorry," and started to limp towards the booth where Jack was sitting with Spot and Mush. When she was ten feet away she whispered again, "I'm sorry," took one more step and collapsed on the floor.
She felt herself being lifted up and gripped the person's shirt. She cried out in pain when her ankle bumped the table. She felt herself dropping as Mush, he had picked her up, sat down positioning her in his lap so her back rested on the wall. She opened her eyes in time to see Spot go out the door, furious.
She cried out again as someone bumped her ankle. She looked down to see Jack rolling up her pant leg. Then slowly taking of her shoe. She whimpered as he pulled her sock and shoe off. Once he got them off he stared at her foot.
Quietly he whispered, "You walked all the way here on THIS?" She nodded and looked at her foot. Her ankle was the size of a grapefruit. Where her shoe would have stopped there were glass shards in her leg. She gasped. Jack held up her sock, it was soaked with blood.
Slowly and softly he gently started touching her foot from her arch to her toes and leg above the glass asking her if it hurt. It hurt a little but not much. He warned her was going to place his finger on her ankle, but he wasn't going to apply any pressure. She nodded. Slowly, he gently touched his finger to her ankle. Pain instantly shot through her leg. She screamed and buried her face in Mush's chest. She would not let them see her tears. She had to be strong. Mush smoothed her hair trying to soothe her. Jack, who had instantly removed his finger, exchanged a worried glance with him.
"Brat, listen, we have to get the glass out or it'll get infected. Race went to get ice and a tweezers Do you think you can handle it or would you like some, err, pain reliever?" Jack asked.
She took a deep breath, ducked her head, hoping he wouldn't see her tear stained face, and said, "I'll be fine, I can handle it." Only now did she realize the whole restaurant was still quiet and watching them. She sighed, taking the hint Mush whispered something to Skittery, who slowly went around the place, talking starting behind him.
"Thank you," she whispered. Suddenly everything went black.
