Title: Well I do have a title…but it'll give too much away…so for now It's just…Untitled!
Summary: There is a car accident on the main highway and the victim is someone that Jonesy knows. Who is she and why is she so important to him?
Susie and Jonesy were out on patrol when the radio cracked into life.
"Mt Thomas 900 to Mt Thomas 487." Mark said.
"Mt Thomas 487 go ahead Serge." Jonesy replied.
"Hey Jonesy, Susie there's been a report of an accident on Armoire Road. Amy and Jonesy are headed out that way. Could you meet them there?"
"Sure thing Serge." Jonesy replied. "We're on our way."
"Right. Thanks Jonesy."
"No problem." He put the receiver down and turned to Susie. "You heard him."
"Yeah. Turning around now." She turned the car around and headed towards Armoire road.
When they got there PJ and Amy were already there. PJ was standing next to a woman Susie assumed was the witness and Amy was with the paramedics and the rescue workers. Susie walked up to Amy to find out what was going on and Jonesy walked over to where Jonesy was standing with the witness.
"Amy what happened?' Susie asked.
"I'm not sure exactly. PJ is talking to the witness now."
Susie nodded and looked over to where Kelly was now standing next to PJ.
"Can you tell us what happened Miss?" PJ asked.
"Oh it was terrible. The poor girl. I was driving along behind her then all of a sudden the front wheel started shaking and she swerved off the road. I stopped my car and ran over. When I saw that she wasn't conscious I called for an ambulance." The woman was shaking. "Oh I hope she's alright. She's so young."
"Do you have any idea what would have caused the accident?"
"What do you mean? The frieken wheel fell off." She screamed.
"Was she speeding? Did she look like she was driving dangerously at all?'
"Well I'm not sure? I was only doing 80km and she wasn't puling away from me very fast. But she could have been. How am I supposed to know?" She snapped.
"Uh, maybe we should continue the questions down at the station." Amy suggested.
"Ah right. Amy, you take her back to the station. I'll wait here for the accident squad." Amy nodded and led the woman away.
"So how's it going over there?" he turned to Kelly.
"Not so great. They've managed to get the door of the car and they're pulling her out now. She's still conscious though, barely."
"Did she have any ID on her?"
"Ah…she had a wallet in her bag. No photo ID. There are a few library cards and a video store card."
"So what's her name?" PJ asked.
"Ah…" Kelly was about to read the name when the paramedics wheeled the trolley containing the victim past.
"Aimee!" Jonesy cried and he ran over to her.
"Aimee?" Kelly asked. "What?"
"Aimee Sanford." Susie read.
"Do you know this woman?" The paramedic asked Jonesy.
"Yes I do. Is she going to be ok?" Jonesy said; panic clearly showing in his voice.
"We don't know at the moment. She's in a critical condition. If we don't get her to the hospital soon she wont last."
"I can't believe it. I should have recognized the car. I have to go with her." He forced his way over to the ambulance. Where they were about to load the trolley into the ambulance.
"Are you a family member?"
"Yes I am…" He looked at the limp body that had just been pulled from the wreck.
"Jonesy…" Susie started, clearly wanting an explanation.
"I have to go Susie. I'll explain later. I promise."
"Okay. I'll let the boss know." Susie smiled sympathetically.
"Thanks." He climbed into the ambulance with the paramedics and Susie watched as it drove away.
"Oh Aimee." He sat back and watched with tears in his eyes as the paramedics worked to stop the bleeding.
"Hey Jonesy what's going on?" Susie asked. She had followed him to the hospital and had found him in the waiting room, pacing.
"I don't know. They won't tell me anything. She's still in surgery. Apparently she has internal bleeding."
"Oh Jonesy…" Susie placed her hand on his shoulder. He turned and buried his head in her shoulder. This had been the first time that Susie had ever seen or heard Jonesy crying, but she didn't say anything. She just held him close to her.
"I'm so sorry. I should have told you."
"It's ok. You don't have to explain yet. Let's just wait until we know what's going on first.'
"Thanks for understanding Suse."
"It's ok. I'm here for you. No matter what happens."
A few hours later Jonesy and Susie had migrated to the chairs in the waiting room and Jonesy was still panicking. Every time he saw a doctor come near he'd stand up and rush over. Unfortunately every time they still had no news.
Finally after 8 hours of waiting together Jonesy had fallen into a restless sleep. Susie had convinced him to get some rest so he was lying with his head in her lap and she was running her fingers through his hair. She smiled down at him and when she looked back up there was a doctor standing over her.
"Evan Jones?" He asked looking at his sheet.
"Ah…" Susie didn't want to disturb Jonesy but she knew he would want to know. "Jonesy…" She shook him and he stirred slightly. "Jonesy wake up…" Jonesy opened his eyes and looked around. When he realized where he was he sat up quickly.
"Evan Jones?" The doctor asked.
"Yes that's me. Is Aimee alright?"
"Aimee is fine. They've managed to stop the internal bleeding. However her uterus was severely damaged so it had to be removed. She is no longer able to conceive children."
"Oh god." He gasped. "Is she…awake?"
"She's conscious. But she's still asleep."
"Can I see her?"
"Of course. Right this way."
"I'll wait here." Susie smiled at him. He nodded and followed the doctor into the small room where Aimee lay sleeping peacefully. He walked up and sat beside her bed. He listened to the doctor as he explained Aimee's condition and once the doctor had left Jonesy noticed all the tubes that connected Aimee to the machines around her. He cringed and looked at her frail body.
"Oh Aimee. I'm so glad you're okay. What were you thinking getting in that car? You don't even have your license." He took her hand and kissed it gently.
"I told your mother that car wasn't roadworthy and I warned you a hundred times not to drive it." He let a tear escape his eye.
"I'm sorry sir we're going to have to ask you to leave. She needs her rest." A nurse said politely after she walked into the room.
"I understand." He kissed her hand again then placed it gently onto her chest. Then he stood and walked out o the room, glancing back to see the nurse adjusting the tubes connected to Aimee.
"Hey. How is she?" Susie asked when she saw Jonesy come out of the room.
"She's conscious. She's not awake though."
"Is she going to be alright?"
"The doctor told me she's fine. She should wake up within the next 24 hours. She's still groggy from the sedatives."
"You should go home and have a shower, get some rest. There's no point in staying here, waiting."
"I want to stay. I need to be here when she wakes up."
"Jonesy you need to get some rest. Trust me when I say that when she wakes up you'll need to be as strong as you possibly can for her. How are you meant to do that if you're half asleep and smell like Alex's socks?" She smiled at him.
"I suppose you're right…there is no way I ever want to end up smelling like that. It's like he hasn't washed his feet in months."
"Hey at least you're not the one who has to wash them." She laughed.
"And I'm grateful for that." He laughed a little.
"There you go. That wasn't so hard was it?" She smiled back at him and for a minute he actually felt happy. The woman he loved was standing in his arms for the first time in months.
Two days later Susie was sitting beside Aimee's bed when she woke up. There were fewer machines around as the bleeding had stopped and she was now breathing by herself. She opened her eyes and was surprised when she saw Susie sitting beside the bed.
"Hey." Susie smiled. "You're awake."
"Do I know you?" Aimee asked.
"I'm a friend of. Evan's. He just went to get some coffee. He should be back any minute now." She replied.
"Oh." Aimee looked away. "Wait Evan's here? Why?" Aimee raised her eyebrows.
"He's been really worried about you. He's been sitting by your bed every day for the past three days. I've only just managed to convince him to take a break and get some fresh air. So he went to get coffee." Susie explained.
"He's been worried about me?"
"Of course he has. I've never seen him this upset before."
"I didn't think he cared so much. Man that's weird." Aimee shook her head.
"He does care. I can see it in his eyes every time he looked at the machines connected to you. I'm surprised that he hasn't screwed up his neck by sleeping in this chair." Susie smiled.
"He slept here?"
"Yeah. He wanted to be here when you woke up."
"Really?" She seemed surprised.
"Yeah."
Aimee looked up at the door and just as Jonesy was walking in. When he saw she was awake he almost dropped the coffee as he ran over to the bed. Susie took the coffee from him and he hugged Aimee.
"Oh Aimee. I was so worried about you." He stood up and a tear ran down his face.
"What are you doing here?"
"I don't even know where here is. I just got in the car and drove. What are you doing here?"
"I was worried about you. You could have been seriously injured. What were you thinking driving like that?"
"Driving like what? It wasn't my fault the wheel decided to fall off of the car."
"You were speeding Aimee. You know how dangerous that can be. You're just lucky that woman was there to call the ambulance. You could have died out there. And why were you driving without a license anyway?"
"I wasn't speeding. I was actually going under the speed limit. My dad's a cop for cripes sake. Like I would do something like that."
"You were driving without a license. You're only 16 Aimee why would you do something like that?"
"I don't know okay. I just wanted to get away from Mum so I did the only thing I could think of doing."
"You ran away? Don't tell me you guys are fighting again?"
"Ah…talk about understatement. Mum kicked me out of the house. What was I supposed to do?"
"You could have called. I would have come to pick you up. You know I don't mind you coming to stay but could you at least do me the courtesy of calling first?"
Aimee took one look at his face and laughed.
"You think this is funny?"
"Sorry…you just sound so much like Dad."
"I do not sound like him."
"You so do."
"Do not." Susie grinned as she watched Jonesy and Aimee 'arguing'.
"Do so." Aimee started coughing and he decided to give up.
"Whatever."
"So how long have you been living down here?' she changed the subject.
"About a year now." He replied.
"Ah…met anyone special yet?"
"Ah…" He was hesitant about answering because Susie was sitting behind him. Luckily he was 'saved' when a doctor walked into the room.
"Ah you're awake. Good. I've got your test results back."
"Oh goodie. I get to know if I'm dying or not." Aimee said sarcastically. "So…what's the bad news?"
"Actually there isn't any bad news. You seem to be doing perfectly fine for someone who was bleeding internally a few days ago. The surgeons did a good job." He smiled.
"Great. So I'm not going to die?"
"No, you're not going to die." He laughed.
"Oh goodie." She smiled.
"That doesn't mean you're out of trouble. You were driving without a license." Jonesy said to her.
"I know. And I'm sorry but if you knew what it was like you'd want to get out of there too." Aimee retorted.
"Aimee!" A woman screamed and ran up to Aimee's bed. "Oh thank god you're alright. What were you thinking taking off like that? You could have been killed."
"What are you doing here?" Aimee growled.
"You're my daughter. Of course I'm going to be here. When Evan called me I…"
"You called her!" Aimee glared at him. "Traitor!"
"I'll leave you guys to it." Susie stood and started walking out of the room.
"Hold on Suse, I'll come with you."
"You cant leave me here alone with her!' Aimee cried.
"You have to sort things out. I'll be back later on." Jonesy smiled.
"But…" Aimee started. Jonesy just ignored her and he and Susie walked away.
"Ok…are you ready to explain yet?" Susie asked. "Who the hell is she?"
"Well…"
Ok if you want to know who she is…then you'll have to review!
This is for you Ky! Hope u like it!
