got them out of there. The deputies followed right behind them, no doubt as backup in case there was another attack.
“Is everyone okay?” Gabriel asked.
Gabriel brushed a kiss on Jodi’s forehead, and when his sister looked at her soon-to-be husband, Theo could practically see the love in her eyes. Not really a surprise, though.

Each of them, including Theo, answered or made some kind of sound to indicate they were okay.
“He’s not all right,” Nathan said, and he motioned toward Theo. “He’s bleeding.”
Theo didn’t exactly thank him for pointing that out, because Nathan seemed to be alarmed by the blood.
