Aspen

The radio crackles again.

Louder this time.

“…we’ve got injuries—”

Everything inside me stops.

“Who?” I demand, stepping forward.

Trigger lifts the radio.

Listens.

His jaw tightens.

“Who is hurt?” I ask again.

He looks at me.

And that’s when I know.

“Havoc.”

The word barely leaves his mouth before I’m moving.

“Give me that,” I say, reaching for the radio.

“Aspen—” Trigger starts.

“I’m a nurse,” I snap.

“Give. Me. The radio.”

He hands it over.

Because he knows.

I press it close to my mouth.

“This is Aspen.”

My voice is steady now.

Focused.

Clear.

“Tell me where he’s hit.”

There’s a pause.

Then Blaze’s voice comes through.

“Shoulder. Head. Possible ribs. Took a blast.”
