Chapter 3

Unknown position

Driving round in circles was annoying for heath all he wanted to do was jump in the back of the ambulance and attack the mad men with the gun, but he couldn't since he has a injured cate in the back lying on the trolley with the man sat at her side comforting her and keeping a watchful eye over her.

"Hey turn into this street and keep going and don't stop for anyone" says Derek giving the orders.

"Okay but this is a dead end, and I don't know where to go, you will have to direct me" says Heath trying to put the man off.

"Fine just follow the road round until you come to some abandoned warehouses, then stop" explains Derek.

Heath does as he is told to do by his captor, even though he felt like jumping in the back and knocking the man out and taking the gun off of him, so that he could attend to his injured colleague, but he couldn't to keep her safe he has to stay safe to that means not giving into temptation, after following the road he turns into the warehouse and stops the van and switches the engine off, he sits there waiting for instructions.

"Get out and help me get her out" orders Derek.

"Okay but least let me get a few medical supplies and treat her while I can" asks Heath.

"Fine but hurry up" says Derek.

Heath helps to get the trolley out of the ambulance, he climbs back in to the van and grabs a medical bag, and soon he starts work trying to sort out his partner.

"Cate can you hear me" shouts heath trying to wake the unconscious ambo.

After no response he took her blood pressure, and it was low for his liking, he swore under his breath and thinking that she needs a hospital badly, he listened to her chest and he couldn't hear a lot of breath sound s on her right side, soon she would not be breathing.

"Hurry up we haven't got all day" shouts Derek.

"Hey what you going to do know since we are stuck here" queries heath.

Soon they hear the sound of a boat, the sound got closer and closer, then all they hear is splashing water and wood scraping against the side of the port, then there were footsteps noise several coming towards them, a big man along with three other men all turned into the warehouse carrying bags and weapons, they looked like a small army. Then heath figured out the deceased women discovered her husband was a drug smuggler and she didn't want to be a part of it, and now he was doing a deal and then was going to escape.

"You rotten bastard, you killed your wife on purpose, and my partner figured it out and you shot her because she was protecting her" shout heath.

"She got in the way she shouldn't have done that" shouts Derek.

"Hey who is this man and what happened to this lovely woman" asks big dog a drug dealer.

"err they are ambulance people they helped my wife who is no longer with us god bless her soul, but they got in the way and she got hurt and he is protecting his girlfriend" says Derek trying to reason with his mates who were not buying his story.

"And what happened to your wife" asks Big dog.

"Err she got shot in the head and arm she accidently held the gun to her head and fired it" says Derek spinning a lie.

"Really is that what really happened and how did the lady get hurt, did she get the gun and did she hit herself over the head too" says Big dog asking in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes wow you are really good, now can we ignore what is happening here and get on with the deal so I can leave with my money and you can stay here with your new product" asks Derek eager to leave Sydney.

"No I want to hear his story before we deal" says Big dog pointing to heath.

"What me" asks Heath.

"Yes you" answers big dog.

"ok well me and my partner attended a distress call from a neighbour of your friend, when we arrived we found his wife on the floor bleeding from the upper arm and she was beaten badly, while give medical attention my partner turns round to see him pointing a gun at us, he hold us hostage, and then he shot his wife in the head, and carried on holding us hostage, he beaten my partner she regained consciousness a little while ago and now she is un responsive and she needs a hospital so please hurry up and try and talk him into letting us go" pleads heath.

"You despicable man shooting your wife and beating a women, even I would think not to touch a lady, the deals off" shouts big dog

"What you can't do that" shouts Derek.

"I don't deal with wife murderers or men who prey on women and let these good people go" says big dog leaving, but once he is out of sight he calls the police and leaves.

After the gang of drug dealers leave it left heath, cate and Derek alone in the warehouse.

"You, you and all the people around me did this now you are going to have to pay" shout Derek.

"Look we didn't do anything you did it to yourself" says Heath.

"Really well you should be sorry" says Derek and then next minute there is a bang.

Heath opens his eyes when he feels no pain, he examines himself from top to bottom and finds no blood or holes then he looks to cate and she has blood pooling on her shoulder.

"You shot her you animal" shout heath.

Before they could argue they hear sirens surrounding the building, and Derek hears he grabs the drugs and leaves the warehouse, he hijacks a boat and escapes before the police no he is gone, leaving the police to find cate and heath alone.

Heath walked to the trolley looking at his partner, then he examined her, he check her pulse, her breathing and her blood pressure, he placed more IV bags around her and hooked her up trying to replace the blood she lost hoping she may survive, soon the ambulances arrive and there friends arrive to help, and Lorraine hops out first and she is hot on there tail.

"heath may I say it so good to see ya, now let's get a dressing on her shoulder and on a fresh board and trolley, then we are going to all saints" says Lorraine.

"Great I checked her out earlier she had a cracked rib, but the moving her may have broken it and I think she has a punctured lung, she woke up earlier but now she is just comatose" explains heath.

"Ok decreased breath sounds on the right possible concussion and she has a nasty bump on the back of her head and near her neck" says Lorraine listing the injuries she can feel when examining cate.

"Yeah and he shot her before he left so her body wont cope" says heath.

"we will deal with it now just let's get the pair of you out of here and to hospital, they now we are coming" says Lorraine.
