Thankful and almost relieved that Libby gives up the task of driving, Ty takes the keys and slides into the driver's seat. Giving everything a quick glance to make sure he knew where everything was, he starts up the engine and buckles himself in too. Seeing Libby try to smile, he does his best to smile back at her too.
Putting the truck in reverse, he backs out of the parking space like a pro and heads down the street. No one would know he didn't have a license... he drove as skillfully as one having driven for years. He doesn't take time to explain or be proud of it though... right now he just wanted to get Libby to TJY. There were only a couple people who knew how much practice he'd had behind the wheel. It was just the stupid written tests he couldn't get down. For now though, all that wasn't the point... the point was Libby's safety, so right now, Ty had a one track mind.
Finally getting to TJY, Ty parks and gets out, waiting for Libby. He wasn't going to take no for an answer on this one. Putting a gentle arm around her, he guides her inside, to the elevator then down and out onto the main floor.
Heading for the hallway, Ty keeps his arm around Libby, knowing that this place was probably twice as intimidating now than normal, after what had happened. He gets her down to the infirmary though, but arriving, Rick's nowhere to be found. Ty can't remember if he'd even seen Rick's car in the parking lot. But... maybe it was better this way. Maybe Libby wouldn't have been comfortable with a man anyway.
Spying Misty, Ty takes Libby closer, giving her a slight squeeze to let her know it's okay. "Misty?" His eyes meet hers with a look of dead seriousness. "This is my girlfriend, Libby. She needs help..." He stares at her, begging for trust. "...with no questions asked."
Alec bites his lip while shaking his head a little at Ryan. "It's official... you really are trying to kill me."
Going in for one last small kiss, he pulls himself away before he was tempted to just stay. Once out of the car, he turns and gives Ryan a little wave, then disappears into the building.
