He hugged Anya back tightly. "All I know is what Nick told me when I got here. Their car was rigged with a bomb. They weren't in it when it blew, but they were close enough. Mom has a concussion, a broken arm and third degree burns over her body. Tony shielded her from the worst of it. His ribs were shattered, a lung punctured and he has compound fractures in an arm and a leg. He had third degree burns too."
He released Anya. He wasn't sure if Eliza was the hugging sort, but he put a hand on James' shoulder. "They're both in the isolation room at the end of the hall. Neither one has regained consciousness yet, which is something of a mercy. We're not allowed in. That's important. With the burns, any infection can be ... bad." He almost said fatal and caught himself. "They're stable for the moment. The staff is going to clear a room nearby for us to sleep in while we're here. Everyone that needs to know has been notified."
