Chapter 11: The Hospital
"Get paramedics! NOW!" one person screamed. Glass was
everywhere on the sidewalk and road. Blood smeared on the floor, bodies of Chick Hicks, his agent, driver and various people were scattered around. The limo sides were smashed in, tipped upside-down, the Ford that had been hit was exactly the same. People were on the sidewalk had phoned the paramedics. It looked like something out of a horror film. The Ford was leaking oil on the floor and starting to flame up.
Several minutes later, paramedics and fire-fighters were digging up the victims and putting out the fire.
Chick was rushed to Wayne Field Hospital. He was rushed to Emergency Care.
"Dad had better be okay; no matter how many times he has betrayed us," Amy hoped aloud. She was in the car park with Sally, McQueen, Beth and her Mum. Kim was holding back tears. She leant on her brother and the tears fell.
"We have to go and see Daddy!" demanded Beth. Sally sighed. She too wanted kids but it was too soon.
"Let's go in," Amy sighed. She climbed out the car. She ran through the lobby.
"Chick Hicks, visitors!" Amy said breathlessly. The receptionist looked at her confused.
"I'm sorry we don't give any visitors," the receptionist replied calmly.
"Listen here, I'm his daughter, this is my mum, my sister, my uncle and his fiancée. We want to see Chick," Amy demanded. Lightning walked over. The receptionist started hyperventilating.
"OH…OHMIGOSH! GO THROUGH YES!" The receptionist yelled. "Room 201 down the hall!" With that she passed out. Everyone eye rolled.
Amy led the way. She peaked into his room. She saw her dad drugged up, asleep with tubes running down him. Tears forced to break through.
"Sally, Light, can you take Beth to the canteen. I'll ring you in a minute," Kim requested knowing why Amy was about to cry. Sally picked up Beth and carried her off to the canteen with Lightning. Amy and Kim walked into his room. A faint 'beep-beep-beep' noise was heard. Amy sat beside her dad. She held his hand and began to cry.
"Daddy…wake up…please…anything you ever said that was hurtful or hateful is all forgotten…I love you daddy," Amy wept. Began to cry, lying on his chest. She felt a hand on her back. It was her mum. She had a glass look in her eyes and her mouth quivered.
"Chick…Wake up for me and the kids?" Kim cried. She felt his pulse. It was going colder. Colder. She heard the beeping getting faster. "NURSE!" Nurses ran in and pushed Kim and Amy outside.
"CHICK!"
"DAD!"
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep…
DOES HE LIVE DOES HE DIE?
