A sense of urgency gripped him. Calling her name, he rounded the corner into the escalator area.
A reflection in the glass diverted his attention. Pivoting, he realized the out-of-place shadow was a person, sprawled at the bottom of the steep escalators. Long black hair fanned across the shiny floor grate. A ribbon of dark liquid glistened beneath her cheek.
Olivia.
She wasn’t moving.
Brady forced his leaden feet into motion. At her side, he fell to his knees and felt for a pulse. The breath whooshed from his lungs. Not dead.
“Olivia, can you hear me?” He searched for the blood source and discovered a deep gash behind her right ear.
She reacted to his probing fingers with an agonized moan.
“It’s me. Brady. I’m here to help.”
Her forehead pinched. When she attempted to sit up, she hissed and cradled her arm against her chest.
Brady reached out but didn’t touch her. “What happened?”
Glancing at the floor above, she grimaced. “Someone pushed me.”
