Ella looked over her shoulder nervously to where the nurse could be seen flagging down a cop and pointing toward the door. She gave Shane a pointed look, and she rushed Rosalie out into the biting cold and around the side of the hospital building. They'd have to walk to the street for a cab from here, but she was hoping it would keep them out of sight of the police officer. The side of the hospital was lined with junkies looking for fixes and trashcan fires that glowed in the crisp cold, and Ella wrapped an arm around Rosalie's shoulders as they walked. She hoped Shane's presence was enough to keep them from drawing too much attention.
"What are you going to say when the police come knocking?" she asked Rosalie, just for something to break the silence.
