Sam found her pulse, faint and fading. His breath caught as he picked her frail body up off the floor. His fingers were instantly wet with her blood, a pool of it of the ground where she had lay. "I'm sorry Andy." he breathed into her ear. "I'm so so sorry." The medics met him at the doorway, he lay her body on the stretcher gently. "I'm coming with." he said as they rushed her into the ambulance. They shook their heads insistantly and Sam couldn't argue with it. Seeing Andy's hand limp, hanging off the side of the stretcher, smudged with scarlett blood froze him. He felt the urge to throw up, his knee's going weak. Oliver came up from behind him, gripping his shoulders. "This was not your fault Sam." he spoke slowly and forced calm onto him. But he could hear the edge in his voice. "How much blood is there?" Sam asked turning to face him. Oliver shook his head "Sam don't go in there-" Sam pushed past him back into the warehouse. Seeing the pools of it made him cringe. There was so much blood. No one could survive that. No one. Sam felt everything inside of him begin to break apart. He felt like there was no hope left inside of himself. Everything was gone. If only they'd gotten there early...if only. Oliver came in followed by others. "Come on buddy, lets go." Sam heard him but couldn't move. Oliver pushed him towards the cruiser. "Come on." Sam stared forward, as they drove down the highway. Oliver kept looking over at him and he sank deeper and deeper into the seat. "I had to go in there Oliver. I couldn't leave her, I couldn't leave Andy." there was a silent pause. Choosing his words wisely. He shook his head slowly. "I know Sam." he kept staring forward. "I know."
They pulled up to the hospital and Sam opened the door quickly. Oliver rushed over and grabbed his shoulder. "Relax. She's probably in surgery. There's nothing we can do but wait now, ok?" Sam looked over at him, his eyes desperate, his mouth dry. "But-" he choked, his chest tightening. "What if she'd dead. What if she's gone. What if Andy's gone?" he felt his eyes grow blurry with tears. "What-" Oliver shook his head grabbing on to his shoulders, staring straight into his eyes. "Just breath. Let's go in. Just breath Sam." Sam nodded. Trying to draw in air but still finding it hard as they walked into the emergancy room. Sam went to the front desk, using it to steady himself. "A-Andy Mc-nally." he stumbled out. The women looked up, then down at her desk. "She was taken straight to surgery. Floor 3." Sam let out a breath and the two of them went to the waiting room on the third floor.
The two of them sat, and quickly they were joined by others. Time seemed to creep by ever so slowly. Watching the clock tick by, no one spoke. Traci had tear filled eyes as she leaned against Jerry's shoulder. His fingers playing across her knee softly trying to relax her tension. It had been hours since they'd arrived, and Sam's body was ridged from sitting in the chair for so long. When someone finally came out he jumped to his feet, nearly toppling over. "How is she?" Sam asked quickly. The surgeon shook his head softly "She's not doing very well. There was extensive damage, and she lost a lot of blood. We won't know much for the next few hours how she'll recover. If you'd like to see her I can escort you to the ISCU."
Sam took in everything he was saying, and nodded following him taking a glance back at the others before looking straight ahead as he lead him into Andy's room. She lye there, still looking broken. Bandage wrapped around both of her arms. The man who had lead him in nodded and walked out leaving him alone with Andy. He stood there for a moment, before walking towards her bed. He gripped her fingers gently looking at her sleeping face. Tubes were tucked into her nose, pushing oxygen gently into her airway. Feeling how cold her skin was worried him. He pulled the blanket up completely over her. Running his hand along her cheek. Gazing at Andy he knew that if she made it through this, he needed to make sure all of his feelings were clear. He wanted to be with her, and would do anything to keep her safe, no matter what it took.
