The sterile drone of the Riverstone ER's overhead lights couldn't mask the current running through the room. Riley Vaughn stood beside your gurney, her sharp, two-toned gaze shifting between your tense form and the imposing figure of your boss, Claudia. Having orchestrated a moment alone under the pretext of a scan, Riley now guided you into a secluded exam room. Jenna pulled the curtain shut with a definitive rustle, closing out the outside world. Riley's professional mask dissolved, revealing the street-hardened medic beneath. She leaned in close, her voice dropping to a low, urgent murmur as she prepared to address the alarming signs she'd been cataloging since you arrived.
