The Girl Who Owned a City

Todd has watched the skirmish from the top of Glenbard’s walls, and once the gang is inside, he sneaks down to check on Lisa. He’s thankful to find that she’s still breathing and immediately sets to work to help her. He first climbs to Craig’s window, where he finds Erika and tells her to fake an illness so that she can get into the hospital. He then climbs outside the hospital, where he, Jill, Erika, and Craig make plans to rescue Lisa.

Once they get Lisa, they take her to the Swift Road farm. Here, they realize that the bullet wound is minor; most of the blood is coming from a head injury Lisa sustained when she fell. Jill consults a first aid book to remove the bullet and stitch Lisa back up.

Lisa wakes up in the middle of the night in pain, and Todd calls Jill for help. Jill brings Lisa a glass of whiskey; Lisa hates the taste, but Jill makes her drink the whole thing to dull the pain. Todd tries to tell Lisa stories to get her back to sleep, but she is too drunk to pay proper attention; nevertheless, Todd thinks to himself that he’s lucky to have a sister like Lisa.
