Luke sent the crew a message that Genesis had been found alive. She was being taken to the local hospital because she had sustained some injuries. That both relieved and drove Nate crazy. He was relieved she'd been found and found alive! It drove him crazy not knowing her state. What sort of injuries had she sustained? How was her mental and emotional well-being? Had she been sexually assaulted while being held captive?

Kalene drove her and Tim to the only hospital in Greenville. The rest of the group were following her in their rentals. Her mind was racing hoping her little girl wasn't hurt too badly. She thought to how much Tim had fought for Genesis. How enraged he was. It made her proud that he loved her daughter that much to get that worked up. She was now truly his daughter too.

Tim kept looking down at his knuckles. Once again, they were all scraped up, red, and bloody. His mind kept replaying the scene of him beating the kid after he exited the cabin with the knife. Although he did get in a few good punches himself, Tim seemed to keep control of the fight mostly. If he'd seen Genesis before they'd started fighting, he'd have killed him for sure. The only thing that stopped him was Kalene pulling him off. Her voice penetrated the hazy fog of his rage-filled mind.

It was then he realized they'd stopped and were parked. She was just taking her seatbelt off. He swiftly followed suit as the rest of their party swarmed her rental. The group followed her into the hospital's emergency room's department. Tim watched with amusement as Kalene sauntered up to the desk to ask about her daughter. "She's in an exam room, Ma'am", Kalene was told.

The mother huffed before returning to the large group and telling then all she knew. She explained about what she'd seen when she went inside the shack and how she'd found Genesis. Several of the ladies gasped hearing it. The story angered Tim all over again but Kalene hastily calmed him back down when she reassured him that Genesis was now safe in an ER exam room being checked out.

Genesis wanted to talk to people to let them know she was ok. She'd left her phone on the bus when she went inside the venue to get ready for the show. The battery was low so she left it charging in her bunk. 'Oh my God! Nate must be totally freaking out right now!' she frowned with a sigh. She wanted to let the other members of the Home Free crew know she was alive and ok, too. They worried about her too and it only seemed fair to keep them in the loop. She knew her mother was too busy freaking out and being angry or beating those guys' asses to text people!

[Kalene] We're at the hospital so Gen can be checked out to make sure nothing major is wrong. She looked pretty roughed up when we found her. I don't think anything is broken, so don't freak out. Her face is bruised up, though. We don't have the full story of what all happened yet. The paramedics took her immediately when they showed up.

[Abe] We're all glad she was found safe and alive! It's good that it seems nothing major's wrong. Hopefully that is the case. Please keep us informed, though.

[Kalene] I will, Abe.

Luke suggested Tim have his hands looked at since his left was beginning to swell some. The bass man was blowing him off until all the ladies jumped in and started in on him. He finally relented, especially when the adrenaline wore off and his hand did start to hurt some. Kalene hated the idea that he'd gotten hurt during the fight but she was also proud that he'd gotten hurt defending her daughter. Their daughter.

Austin said they'd all be ok if she went back with Tim. She could keep the group informed through their Facebook group on both people. Kalene smiled at the group before darting to the door where Tim was being taken to triage. What were the odds of having two loved ones in the ER at the same time? It was an incredible story, that's for sure. As Tim was being brought to a room, Kalene told the nurse that her daughter was here too.
