Alex's accident: This will be a full story and I will not kill her off. I will not be paying attention to anything regarding this last episode. It pissed me off so much. However, she does get into that horrible accident we saw on the midsession finale.
Tom had just gotten out of a meeting with the Generals. He wanted to get out early so he'd be able to catch Alex in time to talk about what was going on but he was told that she'd never came home. So he waited. Her phone went straight to voicemail and all he could do was wonder if they could fix what was broken.
He had waited for two hours before he finally got up and started walking towards the residence when he got a call. Thinking it was Alex he answered quickly with apologies on the tip of his tongue.
What came out from the other end was not what he was expecting.
"Mr. President we are sorry to inform you that your wife has been involved in an accident. She's stable for now but we can't get her out the car because she's crushed beneath it. We..." the voice on the phone started to distort and become further away as he went into shock and dropped the phone. Everything had gone so wrong so quick... He blacked out.
"Mr. President!" Agents ran from all corners to help him up.
Emily and Aaron ran from inside the Oval Office and saw their boss staring stoically into space.
"What's happened?!" Emily asked frightened.
"He got a call but we don't know what about."
"I think we do now..." Aaron said pointing to the television. The channel was doing a piece on a motorcade involved in a car accident. When they showed the car everything clicked.
"I-it's the First Lady's vehicle" a staffer whispered from the far end of the hall.
"Oh my god. Alex." Emily said. Tears started running down her face and she got up and ran back into the Oval. Aaron ran after her to find her collapsed on the floor, sobs racking through her entire body.
At the scene...
Kendra couldn't believe what she was seeing. She didn't believe it was real. Everything was fine before and now... She had been told not to get out the car but she couldn't just stay, she had to see if Alex was alright. She prayed that she was. She had to be. She unbuckled her belt ignoring the pain from her chest and opened to door. There were so many people gathered around and it was too loud. She blocked everyone out and ran to the side of the car she had seen Alex get into. She could see a slumped form in the backseat and she could see the injuries. No one could survive that. No one. She thought. She started to cry and went to take out her phone when a movement caught her eye. She looked into the car and she could see that Alex was moving. Albeit not much to be noticed if you were not close enough to see. But it was obvious she was gravely injured and would need immediate attention.
"Ma'am we need you to get away from the vehicle."
She turned around and saw an agent standing with a group of fire fighters.
"She's alive! I saw her move. You have to get her out!" She started screaming at them.
Someone grabbed her by the waist and carried her as she continued trying to get someone to help her friend out the car.
"They said they were going across the a street and a car came out of nowhere and hit them and kept going." Aaron said. He knew that everyone needed updates but no one was paying attention to the screens anymore. The President himself had disappeared somewhere.
"Did they say anything about Alex? Is she okay? Where's Kendra?" Emily asked. She needed to know. She needed answers no one seemed to be able to give.
"I don't know. There's nothing about her. I'm not even sure they know it's her yet... At least they haven't given any reason to think they do."
Seth came up and replied. He gave her some water and walked off to find Lyor. They'd been in the residence talking to Penny about her day (after she'd cornered them and had somehow managed to get them to play Princess Tea Party with her. Their phones had started ringing and Lyor ran out the room after hearing the news.
"Seth!" He heard Emily's voice ring out. Turning around he saw her wave him back.
"We're going to the scene. The President is going and so are we. We need to be there for him."
"... I really don't think we should go."
"Well it's not your call is it?" He heard his voice and knew he wasn't getting out of this.
"No sir."
"Everyone ready?."
Piling into the car they were ready to go. The car stayed silent the entire ride because no one knew what exactly to say to each other. One half of the car was trying to figure out what they would tell the press when they finally realized whose car it was. The other were thinking about the last moments they had with Alex. Tom was going over their disagreement and the promise he'd made her before she left. Emily was going crazy at the thought of not knowing what was happening. She and Alex had finally moved past the "You work with my husband so we are merely acquaintances." phase and onto the "Let's be friends" phase.
Silence stayed over them like a cloud of dread.
Finally they reached the hospital where Alex was being treated. "THANK GOD!" They all thought. The atmosphere was beginning to become toxic.
The President jumped out the second the car came to a stop. He could hear agents yelling for him to stop and wait for them to do a sweep. But unfortunately for them, he couldn't wait to see her any longer. He was here and he wasn't going to stay put until he had some news on his wife. "They think I'm just going to sit here and wait for information? That's my wife in there! MY WIFE. I'm not leaving until I have real answers." He was trying to remember what exactly he should want to know.
They stared bewildered at the man who'd jumped out the car before it'd even stopped rolling. After gathering their bearings they ran after him desperate for information on the First Lady.
He went straight to the floor he'd been told she was on and knocked on the door of suite 304. He had been told (after the nurses finally got their shit together enough to give him what he needed) this was the room she'd been assigned to and that one of them would find a doctor for updates.
There was no answer so he just opened it and what he saw made his heart drop.
His wife, his beautiful wife lying in her bed with tubes coming out her nose and cuts and bruises battered along her face. Her blonde hair dirty from what he only guess was blood and dirt. He could see that she was in worse shape than even he had imagined she'd be in. She was so bruised and she looked dead. If he didn't hear her heart beating on the monitors he'd sworn she was gone. But somehow she's survived and he didn't know what to think. He didn't know how she'd be afterwards, if there' even be an afterwards. So many questions and so little information.
Thanks for reading. I knew they killed her off but I won't because that was horrible. They will have to go through some grueling tests though to get back to where they were before. Reviews are welcomed!!!
