25. Trouble Lurking

12-year old Logan sat on the front stairs of his house. He checked his watch. The boys were going to come by so they would play catch in the park. They were ten minutes late. All of a sudden he saw Carlos running towards him.

"L…L…Logan, you have to hurry! Parents…gone…James hurt."

The second the fractured sentences clicked in Logan's head, he jumped up and ran with Carlos. Upon arriving, Logan quickly pieced together what had happened. James had fallen from the tree. He'd put his right arm out to catch himself. It was obviously a compound fracture. His ulna was sticking through his forearm, and it was bleeding profusely.

Logan tore off a large piece of his favorite shirt and pressed the cloth to the bleeding wound.

"Carlos, get me some string and four sturdy sticks."

Logan shot James a pitying look as he set the bone. He cried out in agony. Carlos came back with the requested materials. Kendall pressed the cloth to the injury and held James' hand as he moaned in pain. Logan splinted the break.

"Carlos, get me a big piece of cloth, the thinner the better."

Carlos returned with a rag from his father's workbench. Logan then fashioned a make-shift sling for the splinted arm. Slowly, they helped James sit up. Kendall had James use his good hand to continue applying pressure to the wound. Suddenly, Carlos was struck by an idea.

"My brother George works down the street, he'll take us!"

Ten minutes later, they were loading James into the car.

The boys sat in the waiting room. The Diamonds sat across from them. They were contacted at work that their only son had been injured. They were anxiously awaiting news. Just then, an elderly doctor came out.

"James Diamond?"

The Diamonds and the boys stood.

"James is going to be just fine. He'll need to wear a cast for the next eight weeks. Whoever made the splint helped prevent any possible further damage by keeping the arm stable. If it weren't for it, he'd probably need surgery"

James 's mother grabbed Logan 's shoulders and kissed him on the forehead.

"Logan, we can't thank you enough!"

Logan had never been one to bask in attention, so he just rubbed his neck and said it was no big deal.

So, I hope you liked It! I think it's a little long compared to the others Please review1
