I'll stay with her," Maude interrupted, just before Grier could say the same thing. "You can't. Not in intensive care. You can see her three times a day, for no more than ten minutes each time," he added firmly. "It's too serious. She has to be kept quiet. No upsets."

Coltrain put a rough hand on his shoulder. "Don't borrow trouble. Take it one hour at a time. You'll get through this." "Think so?" Judd asked heavily. "I know so. I'll keep a close watch on her. Try not to worry." He nodded to the others and went back down the hall. Judd looked at the other three people with him. "I'm glad you're all here. But if anybody gets into that room, even for a minute, it's going to be me," he said shortly. Cash looked inclined to argue, but the expression on Judd's face made him back down.
