The spotlight ruined any hope of getting out unseen. Above him, the crowd that had gathered disappeared from the edge of the cliff. He could only see the edge of the spotlight quivering on the cliff. Then two men were standing over him, delicately prodding him.
“Lucky bastard,” one of them said as he checked Daniel.
Daniel felt two hands on either side of his face. “Hold still,” the man said. “We’re going to put a collar on you,” and a collar appeared around his throat, locking his head into place. “I know it hurts, man,” he added as Daniel winced. “But stay cool. Stay cool. We’ve got to get your leg stabilized. And then this isn’t going to be nice, but we’ve got to tie you down.”
Daniel nodded and pretended to pass out. They mean well, he thought. In the meantime, he could concentrate on healing.
Or so he thought, but, while they zipped back to Denver, someone stuck him with a needle and pushed a pleasantly-burning liquid into his veins, and he passed out.
