This one's for izzielg,and Wardicus. Thanks for feeding the beast, reviews fuel it's furry belly.
Outside the guards had found a scene almost beyond belief. CO Fischer was first to find the two women lying in a pool of red, the hot blood actually melting the snow underneath them. The corrections officer immediately pulled out her walkie reporting her location and situation, trying to keep her voice even and clear despite the tremor threatening to break through and betray the very real fear spinning around inside her. She leaned down over the limp figure of Chapman feeling for a pulse and was relieved to find one, but was unhappy with the weak rhythm just the same. She glanced over to the other figure on the ground as two more COs came running up in the dark. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She couldn't make out the identity of the other figure on the ground. It wasn't just that the poor girls face was beaten or battered, it was simply gone. An hour ago she had been on stage, as close to a beautiful angel as she was ever going to be, and now she was completely unrecognizable. She couldn't stop her body's visceral reaction to the sight before her, though she did at least manage to turn away from the body before her so that her stomach contents didn't contaminate the scene. Mendez bitched briefly about his shoes before getting a good look at the sight before him and following suite. Bennet managed to keep himself under control but just barely he'd seen some things overseas, but damn.
Fischer did her best to pull herself together and feel for a second pulse on the other girls wrist, but wasn't surprised to find only the quickly cooling skin beneath her finger tips. Doggett was dead and Piper was in bad shape and she found herself fight off an overwhelming sense of panic as she tried to remember what she was supposed to do in a situation like this. This was definitely not what she signed up for sure great pay, good benefits and gory murder scenes that will haunt you for the rest of your life. She was relieved to hear the sound of sirens approaching in the distance and tried to snap herself out of it. Piper, she had to help Piper. She was still alive and the CO had always had a bit of a soft spot for the blonde. She'd known her a little before and was able to understand that she was essentially a good person who had simply made a stupid mistake. She leaned over the inmate and tried to at least asess her status, there were going to be a lot of questions later. Bennet ran off a little ways to flag down the incoming first responders to their exact location once they'd cleared the main gate.
Two ambulances pulled to an abrupt halt in front of their location and they jumped out on the move quickly pulling out their gurneys and bags of gear. One of them called out for a report as they approached the prone figures laying on the ground. She adressed the team attending to Chapman first informing them of her shallow breathing and weak pulse, following with Pensatucky's unfortunate status. The teams worked quickly and effortlessly loading the women onto maching gurneys. The two women were loaded into the backs of the ambulances so quickly it seamed as though it all happened in the blink of an eye. The three corrections officers stood there almost in a state of shock trying to process everything that happened in the space of just a few short minutes. The ground at their feet was still a grizzly horror show even without the presence of the two battered women. Fischer was already feeling mental exhaustion start to filter in and she knew it was only the beginning of what was going to be a very long night. They needed to process the scene and see what they could piece together from the evidence. There were going to be hours worth of questions and mountains of paperwork. The worst she already knew would be facing the girls, they were going to want answers and she already didn't like the ones she had. As she looked down to the ground her eyes settled on something that looked like a sharpened cross poking out of the snow, and she couldn't help the tears that spilled down her face.
