The X-rays Jay had taken had shown that fortunately he had no broken ribs. Only injuries in three of them, which was why he was in pain.
Hailey's CT scan instead made it possible to find a very slight head injury.
Both detectives were then released.
Hailay had been taken back to her room and Jay soon joined her.
- Hey, how are you? - Jay said starting to cough from time to time.
- I'm fine,- she said, - thanks for saving me -.
- I would never leave you - he replied - I promised that I would always save you and at any cost, remember? -
Hayley smiled and then asked:
- How are you? -
- Don't worry I'm fine - The detective lied.
Her breathing was always slightly shallow plus she began to hear a very slight rattle which for now, however, was still barely audible.
Then that night Hailey had asked Jay to go home. He needed a hot shower and some rest.
She had to pray to him long before he accepted.
She also knew he wouldn't be home alone so if he needed his brother Will would take care of him.
The doctor had moved to the detective's house due to a broken pipe flooding his house.
Jay waited for his brother to finish his shift and then they went home together.
- I'm going to take a shower,- Jay said
- Okay, I'll make something to eat,- Will said. - what would you like? -
- Nothing, sorry man. I had a tough day. I just want to sleep. - the detective said coughing. - I'll take a shower and then go to bed.
- Ok, but if you need to call me at any time. replied the doctor.
- Yes, thank you - added the oldest and having said that he went to take a shower.
