The man - being - was injured. He was also soaked through, shivering and carrying a bunny that was no less soaked.

Joe let go of his gun, in one fast motion hooked the handle of his cane over his wrist and held on to the railing instead for balance and support before reaching out with his other hand to offer the stranger and his bunny a hand up the steps.

"Don't worry. It'll be okay. Come inside - we'll get the bunny dried off and I'll call you a doctor."
