One of the women refuses to look up, but the other, the one who'd been doing the comforting, she lifts her head and looks first at John, then at Dutch. She doesn't speak, but she nods, and John nods in return.

"Help them," he says to Dutch. "Get them an ambulance, I'll restrain the men."

And then they'll need to get out of here before the police or paramedics arrive. He doesn't think he needs to say that, he thinks Dutch will reach that conclusion easily on her own, but he catches and holds her gaze for just a moment anyway. Tonight he's not here as Detective John Riley. He's not even here as John Reese. Tonight he's the Man in the Suit again and he finds it's a role he's missed. He can do more good under the radar.

But he also can't be caught.
