Angels Wept

15th July 2016.

6.00 pm...


Jess had traced Connor's black box and had hacked into the traffic cameras around the area. She could still see the stationary lorry, she gasped when she saw the state of her friends car. The roof had been completely cut off, and it lay as a crumpled mess at the side of the road. Apart from the Police, the Emergency services had left and Police were now trying to redirect traffic away from the crash site. Cars were now moving, but still very slowly. Emily spoke to Sadhana, trying to get closer to the crash site as soon as possible.

Matt and Becker were in the helicopter, and did not take long in getting to their destination. They were harnessed to ropes and dropped gently to the ground.

Matt's hands fisted by his sides, as he took in the carnage. Of Abby's ruined car, and of the undamaged lorry. Becker looked down to Connor, taking in his broken pose, trying not to notice the warzone that surrounded him. Connor finished speaking to the policeman and wearily stood up.

The men exchanged a brief hug, and Connor started to explain what he knew of the accident.

"I need to get to the hospital Matt," Connor's voice cracked and he had trouble keeping his voice steady.

"I know, Mate," Matt tapped his comms, "Jess, I need the helicopter to airlift us to... St. Peter's... Can you get in touch with Emily and have her meet us there."

"Helicopter is still above you, and Emily should be on her way. Any news?"

"Abby's been in an Accident, that' all we know," Matt replied. "We'll let you know..."

Ropes fell from the sky and Becker ensured that Connor was strapped up. The people in the chopper hauled them up, and then they made their way to the hospital.

Emily saw three Ambulances coming. As soon as they had passed she turned her car around and followed, breaking several speed regulations on the way. Emily arrived at the hospital shortly after the Ambulances. She watched as stretchers containing the girls and Abby were taken into the hospital, her gut twisting as she took in their injured and broken state. She tapped her comms and passed on what she had seen onto Sadhana, Sadhana put Emily on loudspeaker and everyone at the ARC heard.

Even Lester came out of his office to listen. He had known Connor and Abby since the very start of the ARC. They were the only original members of his staff; personally he felt that they were like family to him. He remembered the day they had got married. Abby had asked if he could give her away.


Emily had seen the helicopter go on ahead and was joined shortly by Matt and Becker.

Connor dashed into the hospital.

"My names, C-C-C Connor Temple... I'm looking for a woman and two girls involved in a car crash," Connor stuttered as he tried to explain to one of the nurses why he was there.

"Please calm down Sir," the nurse took him aside, she grabbed a pen and a piece of paper. "Now, can I take your name again please, Sir," the nurse scribbled down his name as he spoke. "And can I take the names of who you're looking for?"

"Abby Temple...D-D-Danielle Temple... and Nicola Temple." The nurse's head snapped up. "How are you related sir?"

Connor gulped, his stomach turned and twisted uncomfortably, he wanted to see his family. FAST!

"Danielle and Nicola... they're my daughters, Abby's my wife." He blinked away tears that were threatening to fall. He took a deep breath and pulled out his glasses and put them on.

"OK, I'll be with you in a moment." The nurse hurried off to speak with a doctor.

Frustrated, Connor ran his shaking hands through his hair. Matt, Becker and Emily joined him. Emily hugged him, trying hard to console him.

The nurse came back. She noted that he was surrounded.

"Mr Temple, the doctor would like to see you in the family room. Your friends can come too. Come this way." She led them to a room away from the Accident and Emergency area.

Connor shook from head to toe. The suspense of not knowing what had happened to his family becoming almost too much. He sat down on a chair, put his elbows on his knees and laced his fingers together, against his head. Connor was not a religious man, but at that particular moment he started to pray. He started to pray for his family, for his very young daughters, and for his dear wife.


Will Abby be OK?

Will Nicola and Danielle be OK?

How badly have they been hurt?
