Ch4: Help
Nick ran out his knife in hand he waved down the driver. When the driver got closer Nick grabbed Catherine in a protective manner. The car sped on crashing into a ditch the door opened.
"Cmere" Nick said standing pulling her behind him shielding her. The driver side door opened and a man stepped out holding a rifle. "Whoa! Sir put the gun down!"
"You trying to rob my store?" the man yelled aiming the rifle at them, he stunk of cheap booze.
"Sir put the gun down!" Nick demanded. Catherine thought to herself after all this surviving the car wreck and practically living off of a bottle of water and beans they would lose this fight.
"Put your knife down! Does it or I'll shoot" Nick tossed it in front of him his hands up high. Catherine held onto Nick tightly.
"We were in an accident we need help!" Nick yelled the man didn't believe him.
"Modern day Bonnie and Clyde trying to rob me blind in my own store!"
"What?" Nick asked confused, as the man continues to ramble on not making any sense.
"Cmere!" the man pulled Nick towards him and started searching Nick.
"I don't have anything" Nick drawled the man struck Nick in the foot with the butt of the rifle. Nick jumped groaning in pain before stumbling over, the man walked over to a helpless Catherine and pushed her over she cried in pain. Nick ran and tackled the man putting him in a sleeper hold.
The man passed out and Nick restrained him using his belt. Nick crawled over to Catherine she was crying.
"Catherine, are you alright?" he said helping her sit up.
"My wrist..." she cried "if it wasn't broken before it definitely is now" he struggled to stand with the new pain in his foot but he picked her up and limped to the car. He sat her in the passenger side and buckled her in she felt as if she was on the verge of passing out because of the pain.
Nick hot-wired the car and drove it to the man and places him in the back buckling him in the backseat. Nick started to drive unsure of where he was headed. Luckily there was a full tank of gas in the car.
Nick drove for about fifteen minutes before they made it to a small ghost town which looked empty. He drove on.
"Nick I think he's waking up" Catherine said nervous. Nick looked back to see the man looking around scared.
"Sir... I'm CSI… Stokes" Nick says choking on his dry mouth
"What the hell is going on?" the man asked angry he had sobered up.
"Me and my partner were in an accident a couple days ago"
"You guys are the missing CSIs! You guys have been all over the news"
"Yea that's us... And we need help" Nick said coughing. "Where is the closest hospital?"
"We are about an hour away from the strip" the man said Nick pulled the car over and the man instantly became scared. Nick untied the man and gave him a stern warning.
"Don't do anything stupid"
"Are you serious man? I'm about to cash a big reward in"
"Reward?"
"the rampart is giving a hundred thousand dollar to anybody who can bring you guys home safely" the man said excited "hey big man you don't look too good I can drive you"
"No..." Nick said coughing. Catherine lightly touched his face, Nick started to feel faint he had growing muscle spasms in back.
"Let him drive... Nicky" Catherine said, Nick pulled over.
"Get out" Nick ordered the man "put your hands on the on the roof of the car... Don't move" Nick got out and carefully put Catherine in the backseat, he took off his shirt giving it to Catherine covering her up from the man's wondering eyes, living Nick his tank-top.
"Thank you Nicky" she said putting the shirt on. He gave her a kiss on the forehead he limped back over to the man searching him.
"Drive us straight to the hospital! No funny business!" Nick said showing the man the knife.
"No funny business... Got it!" the man said.
"What's your name?"
"Gerald... My friends call me Jerry"
"Ok Jerry let's get you that reward" Nick said Jerry smiled until Nick grabbed his chest coughing violently. Muscle spasms rocked his whole body Nick realized he was in trouble but he couldn't move.
"Let's get you to the hospital, buddy" the man dragged Nick over to the passenger side. Nick's hands started to shake.
"Do you have anything to drink?" Catherine begged her mouth was too dry and her muscles were spazing but Nick was barely conscious.
"I should have half Gatorade bottle... On the floor" he said Catherine looked desperately on the floor and found it.
"Here Nicky drink this" she said feeding it to him. "Drive!" Jerry started to speed and they left the desert. They were soon at the strip but Catherine and Nick were too exhausted and too dehydrated to even acknowledge where they were.
Jerry sped to the palms honking his horn once he got outside the ER.
"Help! I have two cop-scientist-CSIs guys who need help!" Jerry yelled no one moved Jerry opened up the door and Nick fell out.
The ER staff ran over helping Nick and Catherine. The security guards pulled Jerry away as one called the police. The front of the ER had erupted to a medical emergency nurses and doctors began helping them.
"Sir Can you tell us your name?" the doctor asked Nick, shining a light in his eyes.
"Where's Catherine?" he asked
"He's delirious. We need start an IV"
"Catherine! Catherine!" Nick yelled as he finally lost consciousness.
The doctors and nurses that were helping Catherine were experiencing the same problem with Catherine.
"Where's Nicky?" she whispered as doctors were placing her wrist in a splint.
"ma'am... What is your name?" the nurse said making Catherine look at him.
"Cath.. Catherine" she stutters her voice shaky "please help my friend... He's really sick"
Sorry for the wait I've been out of town. What is now in store for Catherine and Nick now that they are rescued?
