After the funeral service, Kagome went to check on Carl. She found Hershel already there, checking Carl's blood pressure and heart rate. Kagome smiled at the older man, “How's he doing?”
“He's doing much better, Doctor, you did an excellent job.”
“Please, Mr. Greene, call me Kagome.”
“Alright, Kagome, call me Hershel.”
“I want to thank you, Hershel, for letting us on your farm,” Kagome said.
“You're welcome, Kagome. If you'll excuse me a moment.” Hershel said abruptly and left the bedroom.
Kagome's brow furrowed as she watched Hershel leave the room. She sat with Carl a while to make sure he was doing alright. Kagome decided to check the wound to make sure there were no infection sets in. When she was satisfied, she changed Carl's bandage. While Kagome was changing the dressing, Carl woke up. Kagome smiled at the little boy, “Hey Carl, how are you feeling?”
“Hi Kagome, I feel okay.”
“Does it hurt?”
“A little bit.”
“Well, we can't have that,” Kagome said with a smile.
She reached into her bag and pulled out a vial of morphine and a syringe. Kagome gave Carl a small amount of morphine into his IV, “Now this is going to feel warm, and you may fall back to sleep, but don't worry. You should get some rest so your body can heal.”
Carl nodded then yawned, “Kagome?”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you for saving my life.”
“Oh, Carl, you don't have to thank me, I would do anything to keep you safe.”
Carl smiled then fell asleep.
Kagome covered Carl then left the room. When she made her way back towards their camp, Kagome caught the tail end of Shane and Lori's conversation, “Did you mean it?” Shane asked Lori
“What?”
“You said, stay. Did you mean it? Look, if you didn't just say so. But do it now. I need to know.”
“I meant it,” Lori said.
“Alright, then.”
Kagome rolled her eyes, “Excuse me, I didn't mean to break up this touching scene, but I need to get my tent.”
“Kagome, This wasn't what it looked like,” Lori said.
“And what does it look like? Look, I only want to get my tent. You and your lover can continue your love fest later. By the way, your son, you know the one that got shot, was awake earlier. But I gave him some morphine for the pain, and he went back to sleep.” Kagome said.
Shane glared at Kagome, “Hey, who do you think you are?” He said and grabbed her arm.
“Shane, don't.”
“I think I'm someone who won't hesitate to hurt you if you don't let go.”
“Oh, you think you could,” Shane said in a cocky voice.
Kagome grabbed his hand and twisted then pushed down, nearly breaking his wrist, “I know I can, Officer Walsh.”
At that moment, Dale comes around the RV, “Is everything alright here?”
Kagome smiles at Dale, “Of course, Dale, Shane was only showing me a wrist lock maneuver. Isn't that right, Shane?”
“Yeah, that's right, Kagome, and you did it right.”
