As the ambulance arrived it's wheels screeched, almost sending medical equipment everywhere, the jeep that had been sighted earlier pulled in, it was going too fast and almost struck them, the paramedic proclaimed "Fucking military assholes."
Rosa and Avril disembarked, the place was chaotic, the paramedic's radio suddenly came to life.
"Calling all units, calling all units, this is dispatch the Road Traffic Collision, car vs. truck has escalated, a van has plowed into idle vehicles, the truck is a tanker and is leaking petroleum, there is one car on fire, any available ambulances including HazMat vehicles head immediately to St. Ark municipal highway, out."
Avril and Rosa looked at each other "Shit" said the paramedic as he jumped back in and set off again in and instantly the hospital went from people running around to dead silence. Rosa and Avril realising the doctor had gone too, took a walk in. The automatic door slid open, the only person there was a receptionist typing away. She spoke with a far north North Pointer (basically Scottish) accent, "This is the calm before the storm."
As they walked up to her desk Avril questioned: "How do yo-"
Radio: "This is fire unit 4, a car has exploded, several other are on fire, Code E, code E, evac in North Eastern sector"
Receptionist: "You see"
The doors opened again, Rosa honed in, on the pilots outfit, a fox with a gun... Trigger it read below.
Her head snapped forward.
Trigger who was looking around at the walls, the floor, anything.
He finally had seen her in person.
The receptionist said to Rosa who was completely distracted within her own thoughts, "so your friend has told me what is going on with you so take a left and go up the stairs to phycology."
Once they had left, Trigger walked up to the receptionist, he was nervous, quite strange based on what he had doje recently.
The receptionist looked at him and said, "what are you so worried about", Trigger just shrugged, and he handed her a note, she quickly read it and said, ok did you hear where phycology is.
Trigger replied only "yes" and walked off
As he walked in he saw who he didn't recognise at first, "Hey it's the Scrap Queen!" He said in a energetic voice
Avril replied, "Hey dumbass, how have you been."
Trigger nodded and replied "good."
Avril noticed his sweat marks, "What are you worried about?
Trigger replied "The princess has been... Well uh, I've been thinking about her alot and... Sort of punched an officer in the face when he insulted her." He said sheepishly
"Pilot come in" Trigger walked in and sat the physiologist started his assessment, he had done Rosa but she had gone to the toilet at the back of the room, the physiologist had noted down 'PTSD', 'SURVIVORS GUILT' and 'LOVE SICKNESS' he had circled the latter, Trigger began with how he first met Rosa, "not face to face just on a battlefield, she was helpless down there along with others so I went in and saved them, she contacted me later during my next mission at the space elevator, I heard her over the radio beforehand when she helping us, but when I was leaving she spoke to me directly, calling me a 'Beacon of light', lately she's been getting into my head and I've acted defensively when people say bad things about her, I actually assaulted an officer earlier"
The phycologist changed his seating position, "Well, to tell you that truth she feels the same way about you"
Trigger was taken aback.
He got up and left, Rosa who had just been thinking of Trigger agian, constantly, him and her, Avril came in interrupting her Daydream "Rosa you dumbass we can't stay here all day!"
Rosa stood up, her legs felt dead, as she walked outside the office she finally saw him now her whole body felt dead, she just stood there and stared, Trigger could only do the same, Avril who was next to Rosa gave her a quick jap in the back, she sprang forward and pounced like a tiger on his left shoulder hugging him, Trigger collapsed unable to support her and they both fell the floor in embrace like children.
Setting - just here the events of this chapter, inside and idle car.
It was silent except for beeps, broken by a roar of terror, "Time for lunch" Long Caster thought as his stomach rumbled, he was in trouble, he had eaten all his food and the glove box which had a sticker on saying 'Emergency Sandwich' was empty, like his stomach, so he got out his phone and opened the map app, thanks to him being used to looking at a screen he almost immediately identified "Ooo, Ustio food" he rang them up and within five minutes a scooter pulled next to him, he took the box and thanked the boy.
He opened it, a extra large (16"/ 41cm) deep pan, stuffed crust, triple pepperoni and cheese, complete with, chicken, sweetcorn, ham, mushrooms, onions, pineapple, bacon, peppers, meatballs, beef, sausage, and extra tomato, suddenly a van came barreling into all the cars behind him like a juggernaut, you could feel the shockwaves, and fire erupted. Long Caster's first thought was 'that would make a good BBQ, look how that fuel burns'.
A fire fighter, opened his car door and said, 'Get out and go down the escape ramp!', pointing to his rear right, Long Caster closed his box and ran.
Once he had made it down, did the feast start, once he was no longer hungry did he realise, "Oh that's pretty bad now", and carried on.
'boom' the earth shook, he looked up and saw flames errupt, a police officer came and yelled frantically, get away from here, Long Caster who was almost finished, shoved the whole thing in his mouth and sprinted away, he wasn't concerned at all about the car it was a rental, that military was paying for.'
Back at the hospital in the present, Avril stared at Rosa just holding Trigger he was pinned, but he made no struggle. He wanted this too, Avril, realising 'the meter was about to run out' is an excellent excuse, said so and Rosa reluctantly got up, her face was redder than the autumn leaves thanks to a mix of love, embarrassment and fear, Trigger got up looking her right in her irresistibly attractive beautiful blue eyes, he smiled, grasped her hand and softly said into her ear "let's go."
Avril who couldn't really care less said to Trigger "Since your obviously occupied, I'll drive you to the base", as they left, the ambulances from today's incident pulled up, they had left just in time.
End of chapter 4
Note: pls comment what kind of relationship you want for Rosa and Trigger, just so I know some options, I want to take it far.
