As usual I do not own Charlie's Angels or the characters except Ella and other people you haven't seen in the show. This story is for entertainment/enjoyment purposes only, as usual. Set after my other stories. I do look back a lot, and it's less confusing if you've read past stories ^^
The name "We All Stand Together" are from Paul McCartney's song with the same name.
Read & Review! :)
We All Stand Together
Win or lose, sink or swim
One thing is certain, we'll never give in
Side by side, hand in hand
We all stand together
Prologue.
Jacali Craig ran along the woods. She could hear the sound of M16's going off behind her and she begged to God that no bullets from the rifles would pass through her. She had lost her gun in a battle a few minutes earlier. She was high of adrenalin, and she knew that if she didn't keep running, the three men behind her would definitely catch up with her, and if they did, she was dead. This had not been a good night. She stumbled through the woods, she ran as fast as the legs carried her, and she was happy the moon was big and bright, at least she could see the small trail in front of her. She was shorter, smaller and in much better shape than the men who were hunting her, and she was so grateful for that. She also knew the woods like her own pocket, she knew where to hunch and she knew when to lift her feet. She caught a glimpse of the car, bathing in the moonlight. `One more minute. Stay on your feet for one more minute´ she told herself. She ducked for a tree and kept running.
She tumbled forward and grabbed onto another tree as the sudden pain hit her shoulder. She let out a small scream, but she knew she did not have time to stop and look at the wound. She took a deep breath, put the hand of the injured arm and tucked it inside her pocket to try to keep it more still, and kept running even though the intense pain shooting through her shoulder. She reached the car, threw herself into it, luckily the keys were still were she left them, and she sped off as fast as she could.
`I have to get to the hospital. I will bleed to death if I don't get there. I can make it. Just stay awake´ she spoke to herself as she drove, not wanting to glance down at the shoulder, the fear of passing out was too big. She drove all the way down to the closest hospital, and with the last of her adrenaline left, she dragged herself through the sliding doors of the emergency entrance, before she fell to the floor.
"I need help here, James, get a gurney!" A nurse called out as she ran up to the unconscious woman on the floor.
The nurse noticed the blood pouring out of her shoulder, an exit hole in the left of her chest, the entering hole in the back of the shoulder. A young man came running with a gurney and they lifted the woman onto it, and as they took her into a trauma room, two doctors joined the two nurses.
A few hours, Jenny fluttered her eyes open. Everything was bright. So bright. First she thought she had died, and this was heaven. She blinked a few times, and suddenly, the white light was covered by a fuzzy face. She tried to focus, and after a moment, she watched a man's face in front of her.
"Hello miss. Don't worry, you're in a hospital and you'll be just fine. Can you tell me your name?"
"Jacali." She whispered. She didn't recognize her own voice, it was so weak and so raspy.
"Hello Jacali. I'm Dr Martin. Is there anyone I can call for you?"
A dark haired woman rolled in her bed and groaned as she was abruptly awaken from her phone. She stared at the green lights of her alarm reading 05:10 before pulling the phone towards her.
"Yeah, Sabrina here."
