The sudden intrusion of this man in police uniform startled Kalib a bit, as did the evident musk. The officer didn't smell like other police people. Instead he smelled like a mix of forest and the alleyways; Kalib didn't know what to think. It's not like he didn't trust the police but at the same time this guy was sort of weird? He couldn't put his finger on it but as he turned to face the intruder, his fingers glided carefully to hover over the "call nurse" button on the remote attached to Anton's bed.

He was about to ask to see the man's badge when Carlson came through the door as well. Comforted by the presence of the alpha, Kalib felt at least a bit safer having another able-bodied pack member around. With Anton in the condition she was in, he wasn't going to let any other bad thing happen to her tonight. [i]Thank god Carlson's here. I don't want to explain why I needed to beat up a policeman in a hospital.[/i] He sighed in relief. [i]I'm too young to go to jail.[/i]
