Gus walks into the waiting room with a tray of coffees. We’ve been here since six o’clock this morning, waiting for some news, but other than that Jed was stable through the night, there wasn’t much more the nurse at the desk was able to tell us. I was told I could see him shortly, but that was about forty-five minutes ago. “You’re about early,” Beth smiles at Gus, who sets the tray down on the coffee table in front of us, leaving us to doctor our own with the stack of sugars and creamers he pulls from his pocket. “Don’t need much sleep and I got an early morning phone call from Damien. Been up since.” He takes a big gulp from his coffee before turning back to us. “Last night I left Mal to try and get a trace on the sniper who fired the shot. He was intercepted by a field agent, one attached to the FBI investigation into Stan Jablonski, who made it clear they were less than impressed with our ‘interference,’ as they called it. Turned into a bit of a stand off, ending up with Mal at the sheriff’s office being grilled by none other than Damien Gomez, who appears less than pleased I haven’t told my men to stand down.”
