"Where is she?" I slammed my fist on the receptionist's desk.

"S-shes in surgery r-right now sir. We c-can't let you see h-her," she stammered over her words. "The driver is in room 26 if you would like to see him w-while you wait."

I didn't say anything more to her and made my way to Kade's room. He was sitting in bed fiddling with his fingers. There was a small bandaid above his left eyebrow and he had a sling on his right arm. Other than that, it looked like he wasn't even hit.

"What the fuck happened, Kade?"

He looked like he was about to break down. "Our light was green. I was the first car in our lane and I went. Some guy ran a red and hit Amara on impact," he said, trembling.

"It wasn't your fault Kade. Is the man who hit you here? I need to speak with him."

"I don't know. I think he got out of his car and ran after the accident. I think it was on purpose."

Before I could respond I heard yelling from the hallway, "Page Dr. Adams now!" A nurse ran by Kade's door.
