Chapter Twenty Six
Well you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hour glass glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button boys
So cradle your head in your hands
Anna Nalick- Breathe (2am)
We need to move her now. Her blood pressures dropping. She's lost too much blood." The paramedic was shouting now.
"I'm going with her!" Flack roared, following the stretcher as they wheeled Carmen out of the room.
"Sir you can't, she unstable." Mac grabbed Flack's arm as he stood there frozen in disbelief.
"Don you need to let them do their job." Flack looked away seething.
"When I find that bastard Mac, I'm going to tear him to pieces. She didn't deserve this."
"Nobody does Don, I'll get Danny to stay with you at the hospital." Flack merely nodded leaning in the doorway waiting. His jaw clenched tightly. Mac turned back to Danny who was starring at the bed; with the same mix of horror and rage they were all feeling. Carmen's blood was pooled in the bed covers.
"You think she'd going to be ok Mac?" Danny asked, folding his arms over his chest. Mac knew he was worried but false reassurances weren't what Danny wanted, he looked to Mac for the truth.
"They'll try their best." Was all that Mac got out.
"Look I'm putting Stella and Sheldon on this. Right now you've got a friend who needs you." Mac said jerking his head towards Flack who was staring at the red welts on his wrists from straining against the cuffs.
"I can't imagine what it must have been like for him, cuffed to the chair unable to help her." Mac let out a deep sigh.
"That's why he needs a friend right now." Mac murmured. Danny's eyes were still on Flack.
"So think he's gonna go after them if he thinks she's alive?" Danny asked, narrowing his eyes.
"If there's one thing I do know is that Stobbard won't stop killing whether it's one of them, one of us or someone on the street." Danny bowed his head grimly stepping away from Mac and ushering Flack out of the door.
