"What did you say?!" Flynn immediately turned pale, and before he could ask about the nature of her injuries, he frantically asked, "Which hospital is Professor Crawford going to?"

Flynn was at a loss for words, but he quickly said, "I'm heading to the hospital right now to see for myself, and then I'll ask the project leader for details."
Lucas responded with a furrowed brow, "I'm coming with you."
