Chapter 4
THE REST OF THE day went by fairly uneventfully. Brody and Ron responded to three calls, all of which involved transporting people to the hospital—people with life-threatening problems; who for one reason or another, were unable to be transported by family. Brody actually found time in the hour before dinner to make use of the workout room. Jonas was doing the same thing, and they spotted each other on the bench press.
“Looking good, buddy,” Jonas said when Brody had an impressive amount of weights in the air over his head.
Somehow, that simple affirmation from one of his new friends and co-workers meant more to Brody than he could explain to himself, and he was a bit overwhelmed. Still, he managed to return the bar to its holder, and huff out a brief “Thank you” to Jonas.
