"Because I thought if they told you he was fine, you'd stay put where you were safe. Or, at least, that he'd"--a nod at Miles--"be able to keep you there, and safe. I didn't know how to keep you away if you knew how bad it was. And, maybe he'd have wanted you to know? But he wouldn't want you here. I had to balance the different risks."
Miles frowned, trying to not show how worried he was. "Why not bring him home?"
Jeremy gave him a look that asked if he was an idiot. "Doc doesn't want him jostled in a wagon if he's got a punctured lung, plus really hard to protect. And we can't put him in the helicopter, because they have rocket launchers." The asshole at the end of that was clear in the tone.
Possibly, it had been a very stressful week for him, too.
