A/N: Thanks for all the reviews!

Tig stayed directly behind the ambulance on the way to the hospital with Hale and Unser following behind him. He didn't care that he was running red lights just to keep pace with the ambulance. He also knew that Hale and Unser wouldn't give him or any of the others a ticket because of why they were running through the red lights.
He still couldn't fathom that the girl Dawn had pulled her gun because she thought he needed protection. If he wasn't so concerned about her he would laugh. It was funny that someone actually thought he needed to be protected. He hasn't needed to be protected since he was a young kid. He parked his bike once they reached St. Thomas hospital and ran over to the ambulance just as they were unloading Dawn out of it. He frowned when he saw how pale she was.
He looked at the medic and said "Why is she so pale?"
The medic looked down at Dawn and back up and said "She's losing quite a bit of blood. It's probably the blood loss that is making her so pale."
Tig nodded and followed behind them as they wheeled Dawn into the Emergency Room. He hoped that it was Tara on duty or at least that she could be called in. He didn't know any other Doctor's and he wanted one that he trusted to look Dawn over. He let out a relieved breath when he saw Tara coming towards him.
"What are you doing here Tig?" Tara asked. She looked at the stretcher that he was following and her eyes grew wide. She hoped that he wasn't the one who shot the girl laying on the stretcher.
Tig saw the look of horror on Tara's face and shook his head. "I was at the Diner when a guy came in and pulled a gun on her. She ended up pulling a gun on him too before I could get my gun out and leveled at the guy they both fired their guns. She killed him and he got her side. Her name is Dawn by the way."
Tara nodded and then looked at the medics and said "Take her to Trauma 1."
The medics nodded and did just as they were told and she followed them in followed by Jax, Clay, Tig, Denise, Bridget, Hale and Unser. She shook her head as she saw even more Sons head through the Emergency Room towards the waiting room. She didn't know this woman but she had a feeling she was about too. As Hale came into the room she quickly went over to him and gave him a quick kiss before going back to her patient who was trying to pull the I.V. the medics had started out of her arm.
"Dawn you need to leave the I.V. in. Let me check your side and see what needs to be done. Does anything else hurt?" Tara said. She kept her eyes on Dawn's face until she saw Dawn shake her head and close her eyes. She nodded and then started looking at the gunshot wound.
Tara felt someone come up beside her and she looked over and saw Tig standing beside her. She had to look back down before he saw the smile that appeared on her face. She wondered if he even knew how cute he looked being all protective. Then again cute wasn't a word that she would ever say out loud and to his face. If there was one thing she knew it was to never call Tig cute unless you wanted him to use you as a verbal or even a physical punching bag.
Tig looked at Tara when she sighed and said "Is she alright Doc?"
Tara looked at Tig and said "Please tell me the man she shot is dead? Not only does she have the bullet wound which is a graze by the way but she also has a wound that is healing that looks like a knife wound. Not to mention the bruises all over her side and back."
Tig swore at that and said "He's dead I know that for a fact. How bad is it?"
Tara shook her head. "I can stitch the bullet wound up and she won't need surgery. What I'm worried about is the bleeding. It doesn't seem to be stopping like it should. I'm going to need to give her a blood transfusion and order some blood tests. She is going to need to stay in the hospital overnight at least but probably longer."
Dawn had lost consciousness as Tara was talking so she wasn't able to protest and Clay said "Do what you need to do Doc. We'll stay and make sure that she is safe."
Tara nodded and looked over at Hale and said "Baby I hope you're not going to charge her with anything."
Hale shook his head and came up to stand behind Tara and he put his hand on Tig's shoulder. "No she will not be charged with anything. Tig if you need anything let me know."
Tig nodded but kept his eyes on Dawn and then he looked at Tara and said "Can you do a blood test first to see what blood type she is? If I can I'd like to donate blood to her. It would be better than her having to have blood from someone she doesn't know."
Tara nodded and drew blood. She sent it off to the lab and then went about stitching Dawn up. She knew that she should have some of the people in the room leave but she couldn't bring herself to do that. These people were like family to her and if Tig had something going with this girl it just meant that Tara had another sister.
