Dark...
Smoke filled her lungs...
Her prosthetic leg broken and pressed under the wrecked dashboard...
Her left hand felt numb...
She heard children crying and adult whimpering...
She tried to open her eyes but they felt too heavy…
She tried to remember what had happened a minute ago...
The sound of people asking for help rang in her ears…
Arizona tried again to open her eyes, her left eye was completely shut and she couldn't open it, but she could see with her right what was happening around her.
She was still inside her car, well maybe just half a car, her car was completely wrecked. Looking down to her prosthetic leg, Arizona determined that it was stuck. She needed to get out of the car, she knew that it could explode at any moment.
She detached the prosthetic and tried to open the door to get out. After it opened, she crawled out and tried to get as far away from the car as she could with one leg.
She looked around and saw all the destruction that surrounded her, she started to remember what had happened. A big logging truck crash and the logs he was transporting fell down and hit the cars that were around it. She had tried to avoid the car in front of her.
"Oh God...", Arizona said when she felt blood dripping down her face, she most probably had a head injury.
"Oh God it hurts",
She tried to stand using a piece of debris as her support. Looking around she saw a woman trying to pull out a man from a wrecked car, the woman herself was in a bad shape, in the car there still was one man and one child. Arizona looked near her, a young man stood with a bloody shirt looking lost.
"Hey hey...you ok?" she asked him.
The man nodded and walked to Arizona, "You ok mam?"
"I'm injured but I'm ok... We need to help that woman...", Arizona sopping a piece of wood, bent down and grasped it in her hand, blood was dripping from her amputated leg. The prosthetic must have torn onto the skin of her stump.
"We shouldn't mam... It will blow any minute", the young man said helping her stand.
"Just bring me there please... I'm a doctor", Arizona tried to walk fast to get to the car. "Mam...mam...let us help", Arizona said while breaking the car window for easier access inside.
"Mam I will do it, get as far as you can and check her injuries."
The young man started by pulling the child out and then went to help the men stuck inside.
"Thank you" the woman said to Arizona.
Not far away from them, she heard a little boy crying loudly in one of burning car. "There is a kid in there", the women pointed to one of burning car.
"You stay here...protect your head if the car explodes".
Arizona using the last of her strength, made her way as fast as she could to the crying child.
Arizona with her last bit of energy, opened the car door which was burning.
"It's ok baby...come here."
Seeing that the little boys family was dead, she held her arms open for the boy to take "Come on...".
The little boy jumped into her arms, she covered the boy with her body and turned away from the car trying to get as far as she could on one leg and a kid in her arms. She didn't get far, the car blew and Arizona and the little boy were thrown away, and landed in grass outside the highway.
Her body couldn't move, the little boy was still in her arms, she smile and mumbling "you're safe baby boy".
With that her vision started to blur. And the last thing she saw was De Luca's face and Boswell...
Wait... What? Lauren Boswell?
