Doesn't look so great, but I think she'll be okay...Lea isn't letting anyone near her until she sees you are okay,"</span></span>one officer answered. Lea had been swatting away the paramedics last he had seen, stating she wasn't going anywhere until she saw Carlos was okay. She did, at least, let them try to stop the bleeding, but Lea's blood seemed to be pretty thin and insistent on being in the outside world. Still, she seemed fine, of not a little woozy and grumpy.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #FF4000">"You know procedure though. We gotta get this story wrapped up. I'll take it at the hospital though, so you can stay with Lea and wait on Maria to get out of surgery..."</span></span><br/><br/>Meanwhile, Lea sat surrounded by exasperated paramedics and police.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #0040FF"> "Stevens, just cooperate damn it,"</span></span>Simmons snarled out in effort to be intimidating,<span style="color: #0040FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"That's an order!" </span></span>Lea gave a dry laugh,<span style="color: #FF80FF"> "You can't tell me what to do, moron.

Lights were flashing everywhere and making Lea feel sick, but the sight of Carlos had released much of the tension that was in her. She stood on shaky legs and all  the people around her seemed to lean forward some, ready to stop her or catch her. She shot them a glare and someone in the background laughed. She was pretty sure it was Renew. She made her way to Carlos, even with her swimming vision and threw her arms around him.<span style="color: #FF80FF">"You're okay!"</span>she stated breathlessly and with happiness.<span style="color: #FF80FF">"I was so worried. What happened? Did you get a confession? Did you get hurt? Maria was awake when she left. She said she loved you..."</span>
