When we arrived at the hospital, there was already a group of doctors and nurses waiting for us in an underground passage with a gurney. The efficiency was impressive and somewhat intimidating—clearly, this wasn't their first emergency involving Rhett.
Immediately, they surrounded Rhett and transferred him from the ambulance stretcher to their equipment.
Slater, Kael, and I followed the gurney using a VIP elevator that required a special key card to access. We ascended to what was the VIP floor. Everything here was more luxurious, quieter, with wider corridors and expensive artwork on the walls.
Rhett was immediately wheeled into surgery, disappearing behind the doors marked "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY." The finality of those doors closing hit me harder than I'd expected.
