Seeing Chris on the ground all bloody, black and blue with bruises, and pale as a ghost was very unexpected. Katherine and Damien stared at him, wondering what the hell happened when they just saw him not long ago. Half of Chris's body leaned against a wall and his lower half sprawled against the ground, his hand pressing the wound on his right side.
They were shocked and couldn't decide right away whether they should help him or not. It could be a trap and they surely weren't ready for any surprises or whatever they were about to face.
It was Damien who got over the shock first and did the rational thing he could think of. "I'll call an ambulance," he said as he was already dialing 911 on the phone when he heard Chris speak.
"No. No… hospitals. Parker…" He grimaced and groaned, and the couple exchanged looks when they heard him mention Parker's name.
