As they neared the next town, Cage stopped at the first gas station they came to and asked about a hospital. By the time he drove up to the E.R. entrance, Dale was unconscious. When Cage couldn’t rouse him, he flagged down a couple of orderlies to help him.
They loaded Dale onto a stretcher and whisked him into the hospital. The woman behind the desk gave Cage some paperwork to fill out.
“But I don’t even know the guy,” Cage said as he looked down at the form.
“Just do the best you can,” she said wearily. “When you’re finished, bring it back up here to me.”
Cage sat down in the noisy emergency room and looked over the questionnaire. A news broadcast on the television caught his attention, and when he looked up, he saw a map on the screen with San Miguel circled in red.
He laid aside the clipboard and went over to the television so that he could hear over the E.R. chatter.
The bodies of six gunshot victims including one female had been found in a bar in the small border town of San Miguel in Presidio County. A man who was seen entering the establishment was wanted for questioning in the shooting, which authorities believed was drug related. The suspect was described as being a white male, midthirties, six feet tall, lean, and walked with a noticeable limp.
Cage stared at the news anchor in shock. She’d just described him. He was the suspect.
And it was a damn clever ploy, too. By going public with his description, the bad guys would have every local lawman and highway patrol officer in the area on the alert for a man fitting his description. Cage had just become the target of every hotshot cop in West Texas looking to make a name for himself.
“Sir?”
Cage spun, startled. The man who had come up behind him was a doctor, not a cop, thank goodness.
He gave Cage a curious look. “Are you the man who brought in the heart-attack victim?”
