AN: I do not own any part of Rescue: Special Ops. It belongs to Channel 9 and Southern Star Entertainment. I do however own Caz and her propensity to minimise things.
We arrived back at the helo base and Heidi shook me awake once again, pointed to the awaiting patrol with Michelle sitting in the front seat and smiled hesitantly. I smirked back, letting her know that I had partially forgiven her for the previous betrayal. Heidi and Mac with the help of some of the base staff lifted me down from the helo, ignoring my futile protests and abuse.
Michelle walked over and greeted the two above, then looked down at me, worry on her face.
"How are you feeling?"
"Extraordinary but I am really starting to hate protocol."
"And which piece of protocol are you referring to this time? The one that is keeping you in a rather uncomfortable spine board or the one that keeps me form kicking your ass out of this squad for not telling me you were sick?"
I just looked blankly at her, unable to form the words required to answer her back.
Once in the awaiting ambulance, Heidi sitting beside me, I ignored her at her attempts at pleasant conversation whilst the paramedics tried not to seem so obvious in their eavesdropping. Michelle had explained to the paramedics when they had debated the necessity of her presence: I was more likely to stay still and behave if I had company on the trip to the hospital. The trip went by rather slowly as I grew more and more uncomfortable on the spine board and started to feel even more worse than previously.
My head pounded in time with my heartbeat and the dizziness and vacant feeling that had permeated me for the past few weeks intensified adding to the extreme nausea that had appeared in the last 15 minutes.
I rolled to my side and dry heaved, shaking in effort and exhaustion, but could not bring anything up. Heidi helped me roll back and frowned in worry; her face doubling and blurring in my vision. Flashes of light sparked off the edges of my sight and I groaned again at the immense discomfort that my head and stomach was causing though I noted the lack of feeling that the rest of my body was giving.
Soon it become too much to handle and I welcomed the dark, empty feeling that had become my ally in the past few hours; my eyes rolling back as my body began seizing.
