“Fine, when the ambulance gets here I will ride with you Ella.” Gray offered and my jealousy flared so high that I wanted to growl.
“Like hell you will.” I yelled at him.
“Will you two stop arguing?” That man snapped at us again. “Ask Ella what she wants and stop trying to decide people’s lives for them.”
“Thank you Vincent.” Ella smiled at him but it looked like the gesture hurt her, it was like it was painful to move her face.
I felt embarrassed, we were arguing like children while she was laying there on the ground in pain.
“What do you want to do, Ella?” I asked her.
“Since the two of you are arguing, perhaps it would be best if Vincent rode with me. I think he will be the most level headed.” It was understandable for her to choose him, honestly. She didn’t know me at all.
“Of course, I will be happy to ride along with you.” Vincent told her. “How about I wrap those wounds up while we wait.” He smiled amiably, making her feel at ease. I looked at the man named Vincent, trying to figure out his angle here.
“Relax, he’s very happily married with three children. And he’s definitely not the type to cheat on his wife.” Gray patted me on the shoulder with a smirk.
“What are you even talking about?” I asked him, shocked by his words.
“Yup, just try to keep that attitude up for a little longer.” Gray laughed at me then as he stood up. “Ella, I will leave you to Vincent while Noah and I go and talk to the other officers. I want to know what happened here but I will let you rest first. Do you mind if I come see you tomorrow?”
“No Joaquin, that will be fine. Will Riviana be with you?” I could guess that a familiar face would help soothe her when she was feeling tense but that didn’t mean that I had to like it. But why the hell was I so jealous right now?
“If you want her to be, then yes.”
“Mmhmm, thank you.” I saw the gratitude in her eyes then as Gray started to walk away.
The ambulance came soon and they loaded Ella into the back. She looked like she didn’t want to go, perhaps she had an aversion to hospitals. I asked the driver what hospital they were taking her to so that I could go and see her tonight. I was technically off duty already anyway.

I hurried back to the station to give my report of tonight’s events to Captain Franklin. He was concerned for the woman that I had rescued and encouraged me to go visit her as well. He could and would be a hardass most of the time but he was still a good guy.
I hurried over to the hospital that the driver told me that Ella was being taken to. I didn’t know what room or even what floor she was going to be on when I got there so I flashed my badge to get the information that I needed. Apparently she was still in the emergency department and she was being seen by a doctor before she was to be discharged.
That angered me. Why the hell were they going to discharge her already? What the hell was going on? She was clearly hurt when I saw her, couldn’t those assholes see that? What the hell were they going to do if she got worse through the night.
Despite still being in the emergency department, Ella was in a private room with a door. I saw that the curtain was pulled around the bed when I made it to her room but the door was not shut all the way.
Stupid people aren’t even giving her the proper amount of privacy. They could have shut the door all the way. Was that so fucking hard?
I pushed the door the rest of the way open as I knocked on the glass panel in its frame.
“Can I come in?” I didn’t really announce myself well there now did I?
“Who’s there?” A man’s voice answered me and I instantly felt a wave of jealousy so intense it was like some kind of beast had welled up inside of me.
“Detective Scott of the CSPD.” I used a very authoritative tone when I spoke then.
“It’s ok.” I heard Ella’s voice but it sounded like she was talking to the man behind the curtain with her. “Let him in Griffin.” So that was the doctor’s name.
“Ella?” He sounded shocked as he whispered back to her. I didn’t care what the man had to say about it all anymore. Ella said to let me in so I grabbed the curtain and flung it open, probably a little harder than I had needed to.
“Hello Ella.” I smiled at her when I finished walking into the room.
“Oh, I get it now.” The man named Griffin smirked as he looked between me and Ella.
“Get what?” I wondered, curious to what it was he was trying to say.
“Nothing.” He shook his head gently then held his hand out to me. “Hello Detective Scott, my name is Dr Griffin White, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” I shook his hand out of professional courtesy only. I wanted to know why he was so friendly with Ella.
“How do you know Ella?” I got straight to the questioning.
“Griffin is the family doctor as well as a family friend. When he heard I was here he rushed over to help right away.” I looked a little closer at the doctor in the room. He was closer to forty years old, good looking but still too old for Ella.
“Alright.” I nodded to accept the answer. “I hear she will be discharged soon, do you want to explain why? She was injured too badly.” I glared at him then looked at Ella again.
This was the first time that I had looked closely at her since coming into the room. Most of my attention had been on the rival that was before. No, the doctor. He was not my rival because Ella wasn’t my woman in any way. What the hell was the matter with me?
Though, what I saw now that I was looking at Ella with my full attention was that she didn’t look nearly as injured as she had less than an hour before. The bruises on her face already looked like they were fading and the cuts on her arm, that the doctor had clearly been cleaning, were already starting to close.
