"We are yet to find Deputy and Preston." Ryder did not hide the truth from her. Anyway, the entire world would know what happened to them in a matter of a few hours. And Maggie too would find out about it. So, he came clean with her immediately.
Suddenly, an intense pain shot through his leg and he groaned in dismay. Ryder sucked in a deep breath and Maggie, who had been frozen in her spot, came out of her reverie immediately.
"Ryder, are you alright? Are you okay? Is the medical staff around you? Did you get yourself treated?" Maggie shot a series of questions at him, now utterly worried for him. Though she did not know what his state was, by the way his voice kept quivering and how he was trying to suppress his groans, only to fail at it miserably, she could make out that he was not fine. He could not hide his condition whatsoever and Maggie felt her heart almost stopping at the thought of Ryder being in danger.
