The night continued in a hazy blur. Hannah lost count of how many times she'd pinched herself to check it was real. It was. Her now blazing red arm proved that for her.
Her brother could be dying behind those closed doors.
Because of Fiona.
She didn't want to feel this intense, burning resentment for her eldest sister, but she could feel it simmering inside of her regardless. And it was starting to boil into rage.
Sitting across from the girl, her boyfriend and best friend stared at her in worry. They knew she needed her space right now, so they made sure to give it to her. But they kept a close eye on her, just in case.
"They probably took her to District Six for booking. That's where they usually take you before they transfer you to County."
It her a moment to realise that Kevin was talking to her and Lip, though neither Gallaghers could find it in them to acknowledge or respond to the man. The pair were sat a few seats down from the others, staring down the corridor as they waited for someone to come and update them on their little brother.
"She's gonna need a lawyer. You got anybody you want us to call?"
Still no reply.
"Guys?"
Lip's gaze didn't waver, "Yeah?"
"Is there a lawyer you want us to use? I used a guy on Calumet a couple years ago for that DUI thing I had, you know? He smells like dirty dish towels but if you breathe through your mouth, it's bearable." Kevin told them with a breath of a chuckle.
If Hannah was in a better state of mind, she would have appreciated Kevin's attempt at trying to lighten up the mood. But she wasn't. Right now, her mind was clouded. She hadn't spoken since she got in the ambulance. And she couldn't. Not yet. Not until she could hold her little brother's hand again.
"Thank you for coming with me."
"I didn't come for you."
"Fiona Gallagher?"
The two eldest Gallaghers leapt out of their seat as a nurse approached the group.
"Philip Gallagher." Lip introduced, "This is Hannah."
"Is Fiona here?"
Lip shook his head, "No."
The nurse looked between to two, "Will she be back?"
"No, not soon. We're Liam's brother and sister." Lip told her.
"Is there another parent or legal guardian available?"
Lip shook his head as Hannah wrapped her arms around herself, "No. Is Liam gonna be ok?"
