Former SEAL and new LSI-MT Keeper, Sisco Aguilar, never expected his day at the hospital to turn into a nightmare. All he wanted was to finish his paramedic recertification and head home.

With her daughter Evie in remission, she just wanted to get through the hospital tests and receive more good news.
