Chapter 2
"The first breath after the last one"
- And this was our great visit to Japan … I'm gonna miss the restaurant in the corner of the department … - Jack commented to Samuel, who was leading the white light-truck.
- And the chicks we knew the other day in the karaoke! Dude, those pretty Japanese-girls got me crazy.
- But there are others that are … PUAJ! Disgusting!.
-Like the fat woman full of blackheads that flirted with you the other time? She had all the hots for you. Poor girl, you should have given her an opportunity - Joked Samuel.
- Not even in dreams … I rather be dead.
- Speaking about dead man's - Samuel whispered - isn't this travel a little too odd? All this trip only to wait for a "cold meat" … and that they were sending also Doctor Collins too.
- I don't know, maybe the boy was a son of someone important. How was his name? Laww.. Laww something …
- "Lawliet" and I don't believe that this is the reason, if he was a rich bastard then ¿Why doctor Collins didn't order us to help him before dying? Maybe he is a spy or something like that.
- By the way -he commented with a tone of lower voice - it is the first time that I see her and I never imagined that she would be so young; she mustn't have more than 20 years …. Someone so quoted by the bureaucrats, hard to believe it.
Maybe she is like a "screen" You know, someone who shows off as another person … after all, almost nobody has seen her.
-Speaking silly things again... Probably, but why do I feel that we got in something really turbid. God! I want to return to Barcelona.
Sarah Collins sat next to the body of L contemplating with attention her pocket clock of classic design no more bigger that the palm of her hand, completely done with gold and in the lid it has an engraving of the symbol of a dragon biting his own tail, it was stopped at 8:20 PM.
- Alfredo, do me a favor and tell me the hour -She asked the man sat opposite to her.
- 8:48 PM Doctor.
- Ok then. Jack, stop the truck.
Surprised Jack obeys the given indications. The vehicle stop in a park and both men open the window that was separating the cabin with the rest of the light-truck and passed to the other side.
Sarah gets up -Get ready gentlemen, we are going to carry out a cardiopulmonary resuscitation. -Reported the girl taking completely unprepared the equipment of paramedics.
- But Doctor…-Interrupt Jack - That's not possible, the subject already … already have been dead since the beginning.
- I am not interested in your opinion -she sharply declared - You two. Prepare the manual defibrillator - Sarah points at Jack and Samuel - and you, prepare a dose of 1 mg of adrenaline now - Orders Alfredo who loses his patience.
- ¿Are you mad? I told you, it's meaningless and you know that better than I as the "famous" doctor you are. A human being cannot be revived past 7 minutes after the heart attack. Much does his brain stop receiving oxygen and blood. This is not ethical or lógic …-Sarah takes off the black lenses and reveals her sinister amber color eyes, more than human they looked more like a beast ready to attack. Alfredo felt a strange and unpleasant sensation; his thoughts stopped for a few seconds.
- ¿Are you putting in doubt my judgment¿My reasoning? Insolent, you are no more than an ignorant. If you have something to say, say it once we have finished. Now I'm in a little rush, the time can play against us - The girl cuts the discussion turning her attention to the body.
- Shit, if someone finds out, we will lose our licenses … - Jack murmured and abundance of worry felt in the ambience -Sarah listens but didn't care.
Samuel approaches Alfredo to calm him down silently ¿What was this sensation of alert that made him tremble?
The young woman cuts with scissors Ryuuzaki's white vest to clear his chest and got really surprised to see an extremely thin body. Ignoring it for the moment she places the patches that connect to the cardiologic monitor only to show an electrocardiogram completely flat. For the paramedics it was the sign that in minutes they would commit the biggest stupidity in their careers, it was evident that his state of death is irreversible but they didn't dare to resist the orders of their Superior. They prepared the medical equipments, loading the Defibrillator in moderated voltage.
Alfredo injects the adrenaline in Ryuuzaki's left forearm and looked at Sarah's face looking for some sign of approval but she was attentive again to her pocket's watch. All in silent observed how she was raising her hand in symbol of wait.
Chic …
Sarah reacted immediately pinching Ryuuzaki's nose and raising his chin then and giving him mouth to mouth breathing a second later that her clock starts working again , but strangely it was turning more rapid than normal , as if the lost time was being united trying to be recovered.
One. Two. Three times. Panting she gave to Samuel a space in order to realized the CPR with a moderate force, interlaced his fingers on Ryuuzaki's thorax and he compressed it.
10, 20, 30 times. No changes, as the group of paramedic predicted without proclaiming it. Sarah applied again the breathing mouth to mouth two more times and Samuel continued with 30 more RCP. She applies another dose of adrenaline to him. The monitor was still touching a unique note and the clock was listened in the distance as its Minutehand was running.
… Chic-chac-chic-chac-chic-chac …
-What a pathetic energies you have! Do it with more forces! - The young woman accused Samuel with indignation while applying again ventilation.
Already 15 minutes had passed. Sarah was panting increasingly loudly with every oxygenation that was giving and there were no changes. Samuel also was showing signs of weariness because of the compressions he realized, his sweat on the forehead bothered his sight and Jack dry it with a scarf.
Sarah's patience began to decrease.
- Alfredo … uses the defibrillators.
Alfredo took both devices and joined them producing an electrical sound. Now loading … 3 … 2 … 1 clear! - They all moved along at time and Ryuuzaki's body trembled with the voltages that came out against his chest. But Nothing.
- One more time! - shouted the orders. L received the same shock.
- Again!
-Enough! It's enough!, accept it, he's dead! -shouted Samuel who did not bear any more the anger for being ordered by a minor age girl, more the whole situation was completely absurd to him.
- No! - Answered Sarah furious - increases the voltage to 360 J -She ordered Alfredo and this one acceded but Jack catches his hair and strikes him with all of his forces against the monitor leaving him unconscious, blood started appearing from his head. The two intimidated Sarah removing her from Ryuuzaki and trying to tie her up with the belts of the stretcher. Sarah in her desperation slips between them and rapidly takes defibrillator and gives him a last shock to the inert body. The shock was so strong that Ryuuzaki´s body managed to bounce in the stretcher. The two men took hold of her arms and her clock falls to the soil while trying to escape.
- let go! You don't know what you are causing! - Sarah was accusing hysterically among struggles.
- Sufficient I had of your stupidities! I assure you that they will find out in Wammy's House! - Jack threatened –I hope you have a good lawyer!
- And of course you are not even who you say to be! Impostor! - Jack concluded in a fit of anger.
Suddenly the monitor showed changes in the electrocardiogram and they all remained petrified. Ryuuzaki began to cough aggressively almost in convulsions in search for air. The open-mouthed paramedics weren't managing to think or react to what their eyes were attending but Sarah took advantage of the commotion to escape and hurried in putting to L a mask of oxygen hanging near the stretcher, though it was not an easy task since the alarmed young man was traversing his face as a sign of desperation. With difficulty L opens his eyes full of confusion, he tried to extract de mask but it was stopped by Sarah's hand that took his and pressed it strongly. Sarah becomes exalted to others.
- Hey, Don´t space out! Do not remain there like idiots and help me with the whey. Ah, and for god sake treat the wound of poor Alfredo - ordered once again with a killer look that managed to make react the surprised paramedics and without words in their mouths helped. Sarah then turns to Ryuuzaki and her eyes filled with tears, being allowed to feel such an urgent relief that was longing for and she could relax the tension that a few minutes ago was reigning in her heart. She looked at the eyes of Lawliet they were observing at her weakly and a great tenderness was born at Sarah's interior. Showing only to him, to this defenseless being, her soft but compassionate smile.
-Shhhhh … Calm down, everything is going to be ok -Sarah assured him while caressing his disarmed hair. It was Incredible the coldness he has, his hands, his face … and little by little his body started to tremble with more intensity, which it was a good sign, the blood was returning to run in his veins, after all, he should be dead. Everything in him was returning to work. Sarah freed his hand to look for the blanket guarded under the stretcher and then she notices her pocket watch thrown in the soil, Sarah gathers it and sees that it already had recaptured it's natural pace and was at good hour; 9:09 minutes. After a sigh she realized that those were the longest 49 minutes of her life.
The young woman covers L carefully with the blanket. She sits down to his side. Sarah returns to take his hand to caress it, Ryuuzaki looked at her trying to say something but the fatigue does not allow it to him and without will, he closed his eyes again, but this time because of a deep dream.
- Welcome to the world L Lawliet.
