Jimmy opened his eyes slowly, not trying to get the full blast of sunlight
that was protruding on him. He tried to sit up in his bed, but he
couldn't. Every time he took a breath, pain seared down his throat, into
his chest. He tried to talk, but , something was stopping him from doing
so. He started to panic.
"Jimmy, Jimmy, calm down. You'll be alright, just calm down," Kim said softly, holding Jimmy's right hand.
He finally calmed down. He looked around the room, trying to take in his surroundings. He placed his eyes on Kim's soft, tear stricken face. He raised his left hand and placed it upon Kim's tiny face, wiping away some tears that trickled down.
"Ah, Jimmy. Stop it," Kim chuckled.
Just then, a doctor came in. As she was checking Jimmy out she explained everything.
"Mr. Doherty, you have been seriously injured. You took a fall out a two story building at your call. You have inhaled a lot of smoke. You were found without an oxygen mask. We have put a tube down your throat to help you breathe. It will be taken out when we know for sure that you can breath on your own. You have cracked a couple of ribs and broken your left leg." she continued on, but, Jimmy toned out.
When did this happen? He couldn't remember anything. Was anyone else injured? Did anyone else die? Joey. How's Joey?
He had so many questions, but none of them could be answered until he could talk again. A tear started to run down his face. This was possibly the worst time of his life. Just as he was thinking of all this, Dk, Walsh, Lieutenant, Doc, and Carlos came in. They crowded around his bed.
"Jimmy! You're awake! Glad to see you, buddy!" Dk said enthusiastically.
"Thanks.thanks for trying to save me." Walsh said quietly.
So this is how it was. Jimmy thought. I got hurt trying to save Walsh. Well, I'm glad he's alright. I don't know what I would have done if he had died.
"Oh no! He's not responding any more. I think we need a doctor. Oh my god!" Carlos said loudly.
Jimmy's eyes darted upwards. What was he talking about? All I was doing was thinking. Is that such a crime?
His arm reached upwards and hit Carlos on the back of his head.
"Well, he still has his sense of humour!" Dk said.
"Jimmy, Jimmy, calm down. You'll be alright, just calm down," Kim said softly, holding Jimmy's right hand.
