Cobb Estate- Colby brock (continued)

4

after the officer finished his questions, he left ana and colby alone in the room.

the nurse occasionally came in to check her iv and other vitals, but other than that,

they were alone.

she glanced over at him with tears in her eyes.

"thank you so much" she said quietly.

he wiped the tears from her cheeks. "you're very welcome, how are you feeling?"

she sighed. "i don't know"

he looked at her puzzled. "i'm terrified" she said.

"do you have anywhere to go?" he asked.

she shook her head no as more tears fell.

"hey hey hey it's okay" he said trying to reassure her. "i know we just met, but you're always welcome
to stay with me"

she let out a tiny smile, just enough for her dimples to show. "thank you, i'd appreciate that"

colby smiled back. "in a few me and the other guys who found you, can move your stuff to my apartment if that's okay with you and in the morning i can come get you"

"okay" she said lightly.

"don't worry, you're in good hands" he said.

he went out to talk to sam, elton, and matt to tell them the plan.

"wait she's going to be living with you!!!" elton said. "do you think that's the safest idea?"

"it is for her, she has no one else." colby said. "no family, no friends"

they all agreed and talked over the plan.

then he went to the receptionist and gave them his information.

then they went and moved over her stuff.

——then morning after———

colby received a call at around 11:30 from the hospital.

"hi is this Mr. brock?"

"yes"

"okay, ana is ready to be released, the nurse has a few instructions for you if you decided to pick her up"
