Veronica forced a smile and went up to Shirley. "You're still up. It's late."
Shirley looked at Skyler and realized there was a dark look on his face as he stared at Lazlo with fury in his eyes. Did he take this the wrong way?
Ignoring that, she went up to Veronica and hugged her. "It's good to see you in one piece."
The hug touched Veronica's wound, prompting her to draw a sharp breath.
"What's wrong?" asked Skyler and Shirley in unison.
Veronica answered, "Got hurt earlier."
"Why didn't you say anything?" He went ahead and dragged Shirley away. Then, he stood before Veronica and checked her out before realizing that her left sleeve had a different color than the other parts of her shirt, with a big hole in it. He frowned and shot her a look. She sure can endure. This is a big wound, and she still fought with me earlier, and I didn't even realize anything.
"Shirley, get the medical kit," he said.
She nodded. "Sure. You and Roni sit down while I get the stuff. Lazlo, get some water for them." She went to the counter and rummaged through the drawer for a medical kit.
Veronica waved everyone down. "This is nothing. Lazlo, stop whatever you're doing and get your men to find out where Matt is." She wore a look of worry and solemnity on her face.
Knowing how serious things were, Lazlo responded, "A second. I'll summon them right away."
