The next day Jake, Matthew and Hank came back into Colorado Springs. The first place they went to was the clinic. Horace, Grace, Dorothy, Robert E, and Sully were all in the clinic talking about what to do about the doctor situation. When they walked in, the group looked up at them. Dorothy walked into Loren's room because he was moaning.

"Did you find the men who hurt Loren and Brian?" Horace asked them.

"Yeah, we did." Hank said defeated.

"We met them in another town; they were arrested there because they broke into store there too." Matthew explained.

"At least they aren't on the streets anymore." Sully said.

"But we still didn't catch them." Hank stated. Dorothy ran out of Loren's room.

"Loren is losing a lot of blood. I thought I was able to stop it yesterday, but he's losing even more today. If somebody could get the bullet out he wouldn't bleed as badly." Dorothy said. She looked up at Jake. "Jake? Can you help us?"

"Well, he would have to be moved to the barbershop." Jake started to say.

"Jake! He can't be moved across the street. What are you thinking about?" Dorothy asked.

"Okay, we'll do it here." Jake mumbled. "I guess."

"Good." Dorothy replied. Sully and Robert E. went into his room and picked up Loren to put him on Michaela's operating table.

"I just have to go get my supplies." Jake said.

"Michaela's medical tools are still here." Sully stated. Jake looked at Sully.

"I'm not a doctor Sully; I will use my own scissors and stuff." Jake replied and walked out of the clinic.

"Okay, what else are we supposed to do?" Horace asked. Sully looked at him.

"I have helped Michaela a few times; I know that a lot of people shouldn't be in here." Sully replied.

"Robert E and I will go." Grace said. She and Robert E walked out of the clinic. "I hope you guys figure out what you're going to do about the doctor situation." Grace closed the door behind her.

"So do we." Sully replied.

"I'm going to go sit with Brian." Matthew said and he walked out of the room.

"Come on Myra let's go. They don't need us in here." Horace stated. They closed the door behind them. Dorothy looked at Sully.

"I'm going to assist Jake with Loren." Dorothy said.

"Dorothy, I don't think that's the best idea." Sully replied. Dorothy took a deep breath.

"Sully, Loren is my brother in law. I want to be here for him." Dorothy responded.

"Okay, if you insist." Sully said. He walked into Brian's room with Matthew.

Horace was back at the telegraph office when he got the brilliant idea. Colorado Springs needed a doctor. Dr. Mike was in Indiana, but her daughter and assistant, Colleen Cooper, was in Denver. She could take the train home; help Brian and Loren and be back to school before the weekend was over. Being the telegraph officer helped him be secretive because he wouldn't have to tell anybody. He sat in his chair, slid over to the telegraph machine and sent the telegram to Denver College in care of Colleen Cooper. It was perfect. If Colleen could come take care of her brother and Loren, they wouldn't have to bother another doctor. She wants to be a doctor; it'll be the same right? She has assisted Doctor Mike in the clinic since she was thirteen years old.

It was tense in the clinic. Jake was trying very carefully to take the bullet out of Loren's neck. Dorothy sat there practically not even taking a breath while Jake worked. Finally he got the bullet out of Loren and showed it to Dorothy.

"Can we stop the bleeding?" Dorothy asked.

"I can put stitches in it, but we will probably have to put a cloth on it, but I can't do anything more for him; and I know I can't help Brian." Jake said disappointed.

"At least we saved Loren. We can get the doctor to help poor Brian." Dorothy said. Jake used thread to close the wound on Loren's neck and Dorothy pressed a white cloth to his neck. For good measure, Jake put a little bit more chloroform on Loren's mouth to keep him out.
