Their grim reality permeated the car ride back to the city. Jensen stayed in the back seat, cradling the pale face of a fallen angel while she and Xander occupied the front. Laurie's soul was shuttered into survival-mode: not only for herself but for those in her charge. She was an aggressive driver normally, but today she struggled to keep the speed limit.
Thoughts of what they went through pried its way into her mind, but she refused to dwell on them. She had to focus on the present, and that meant delivering a car into dangerous territories. She considered going to the police, or maybe driving straight to a local FBI building. The governor's house, which was what Jensen wanted, would smother their history to avoid the scandal of their bloody deeds. But how horrible was that idea? Delivering the body of a child torn to shreds to a mother and father? Nobody deserved to see the sights of what they all witnessed today.
In the end, she exited the car at the entrance to an emergency room, went inside, and stood there in a strange sort of shock. Her appearance alone attracted attention as a nurse hurried to her side. It was with a grim announcement that she informed the staff of a girl shot and laying in the back seat of her car. Before she knew it, Cayli was taken away and the three of them were left to wonder what would happen next.
