back to the group at the front. “I’m sorry August. Bamber
here just notified me that her sister is about to give birth to her
baby.”
    “Well, fetch the midwife, then,” August
ordered. “There’s no reason to interrupt Lord James with something
so trivial.”
    “The midwife is visiting her sister out of
town this week to help deliver her child,” Rebekah explained. “I
must go to offer assistance, the girl is young, and the delivery is
likely to be a difficult one.”
    “I should go, too,” James heard Brynne say
from behind him. “There might be something I can do to help.”
    “We’ll all go,” he announced to the group.
“August, let us see this child in need of medical attention.
Perhaps my companion can be of service to your community after
all.”
    “As you wish, my Lord.” The burly man pushed
his way through his group of companions to the back where Rebekah
and the young girl were standing. “Make way for Lord James and his
companions.” The rest of the assembled community formed an opening,
making room for James and his group to follow. Brynne was right
behind him with Celeste and Rudy bringing up the rear.
    “Rebekah, Lord James would like to see this
girl’s sister. Take us to her,” August commanded. Rebekah inclined
her head with a nod, took the little girl’s hand and led them all
back into the woods surrounding the house trailers of the
community. James heard Brynne start talking on her phone. Who could
she be calling now of all times?
    “… Just bring the maternity kit to the
address I gave you, and give it to the person waiting there. Don’t
run lights and sirens, it’ll freak people out, just get here
quickly.” Brynne paused a moment, listening to the person on the
other end before speaking again. “Don’t worry about that. I’ll
clear it with Doc Spirelli. It’ll be fine. Just get that kit here.
Oh, and bring the extra ALS bag out of the closet. I should have
thought to bring it with me anyway.” Another brief pause, then,
“Ok, thanks. I’ll talk to you later and fill you in.”
    She pushed the call end button and turned her
head to look back at Rudy. “Can you wait back at the SUV for the
ambulance I just called to drop a package off for me?”
    Rudy looked at James, who nodded. “Uh, sure.
What is it?”
    “It’s a kit with everything you need to
deliver a baby and a bag with spare bandages and some other
supplies,” Brynne replied as she continued following the others.
“It should be here in about five or ten minutes.”
    James was again impressed with how Brynne
took control of a medical situation, even before she had arrived at
the side of her patient.
    “Do as she says, Rudy. Bring the supplies
back to us as soon as they arrive.” James looked with reinforced
admiration at the short paramedic walking purposefully next to him
now. Again, she had proven she was more than just a run-of-the-mill
human. Were all paramedics like this or was it just Brynne? He
wondered about this as he and Celeste now trailed Brynne, who had
pushed forward and was talking earnestly with Rebekah at the front
of the group.

CHAPTER NINE
     
     
    James wasn’t sure what he was still doing
here, in this tiny, dark, smelly house trailer in the Barrens.
Perhaps it was because he had never witnessed childbirth before, he
supposed. He had to admit, though, that it was more likely he was
mesmerized by the small human paramedic kneeling at the foot of the
mattress on the floor in this cramped bedroom. Brynne had arrived
in the trailer and began to exude a confidence that was a breath of
fresh air in the midst of the pandemonium that was the state of the
residents before she arrived. She had immediately followed the
little girl and Rebekah back to the bedroom where the grunts and
groans of the sister could be heard. The paramedic had shooed all
the family members from the room but the little sister and the
girl’s mother. Rebekah had been allowed to stay, too. Though Brynne
had shot
