Rye pointed at Marge’s erect breast. “What’s that?” Claire had been in too much of a panic to note Marge’s condition. She bent down for a close-up of the protrusion from the nipple. The object was metal, round with a rounded end and light colored. She didn’t answer at first, but straightened up and began looking around the inside of the SUV for anything that might give her a hint. Then she spotted Marge’s crocheting and the tangled skein of yarn. “I think it’s a knitting needle,” Claire said. “There isn’t much blood. Judging from the size of her breast, I doubt that the needle reached the muscle, but I think that there’s a hook at the end. Extraction?” Claire said, and looked up at Rye. “I think so. If it gets bumped in transit, aside from tearing up her breast it could pierce the chest muscle. But if you don’t mind, I’d like you to stabilize her breast and I’ll do the extraction.”
