Chapter 291: Is That Blood On Your Shirt?

As Cody headed outside, the last thing he heard was Finn desperately trying to get answers out of the woman behind the desk. "I need information on Carmen Rodriguez; she would have been brought here less than an hour ago. I'm her emergency contact. What happened to her? How is she doing? Is she going to be okay?"
