When Tarquin arrived at the hospital, Janelle had just been moved from the emergency room.
She lay quietly on the hospital bed, unconscious.
Richard Huber sat beside the bed, guarding her. His face was dark with an emotion that was either extreme worry or pure rage.
Keaton, looking frail, was kneeling beside the bed, his face a mask of guilt.
Tarquin was stunned by the scene. On the phone, Keaton had only said there was trouble, not what it was.
Entering the room, Tarquin asked softly, "Mr. Huber, what happened to Janelle?"
Richard looked up, his eyes bloodshot. "The shock... she fainted from the anger."
Tarquin said, "...She was fine when I left. What could have made her so angry all of a sudden?"
Richard shot a cold glare at Keaton, his voice filled with fury. "Ask this son of mine! It's all because of him! The mess he's made! What a disaster!"
Keaton remained kneeling on the floor, silent.
Tarquin frowned, then turned back to Richard. "Why don't you stay with Janelle? I'll take Keaton outside for a chat."
Richard waved a dismissive hand. "Get him out of here! I don't want to see him. Out of sight, out of mind!"
Tarquin was at a loss.
He walked over, pulled Keaton to his feet, and led him out of the room. As soon as they were in the hallway, Tarquin demanded, "What the hell happened? Did you tell them about Winona being pregnant?"
Keaton let out a long, weak breath. "Let's go downstairs. I need some air."
They went down to the small hospital garden and sat on a bench.
"You got a cigarette?" Keaton asked.
Tarquin handed him one and lit one for himself.
