Hemorrhaging- Emergency Surgery I was pacing her room which she had just been returned to anger and fear fueling every step it was after 11 pm. I was exhausted I needed her by my side I felt Hannah's hand slip into mine her head rest on the back of my shoulder. I knew she must be beat she had been pulling double duty all last week she was in the field to help McGuire, Preach and Amir who had gone back to work, this week she flew straight from Spain where they were currently to the DIA to pull her normal shift.
Patricia had gone for coffee leaving us alone in Jaz's room there was nothing to really say so we sat on the couch flipping through the TV channels nothing good was on this late at night. Patricia came back at some point taking the remote from our hands we were both pretty dazed.
"Screw TV lets talk why don't we share our favorite memory of Jaz? I'm making a video to post on youtube I want people to know Jaz's story the world needs to see what you guys do the sacrifices you make, we won't go too heavy into details so we won't get into trouble, I want the American People to see that you are real people with real dreams, stories and lives"
"Dalton your up first"
"Easy the first time I saw her at Boot Camp she was creaming my brother at a rap battle"
"Jaz raps?" Both looked stunned I smiled as I nodded recalling that day how red my bro was how Jaz was grinning loving being up on the arms of those guys being hailed as a hero. I can still see the way she danced moving her hips as she got into her own beat. It killed me to know that just because we fell in love all she worked for could be taken away.
"My favorite memory of Jaz" Patricia smiled laughing "Was when I saw her in the K9 unit tearing a corporal's ass out because he had punished one of the dogs by not feeding it, she was only a private but she showed no fear in stepping up to a superior to call him out for abuse, she made such a scene it got all the majors involved, they ended up dishonorably discharging the Corporal and she went on a one women crusade to find a good home for this dog who was too old to be used anymore"
"Our own Megan Ryan" Hannah commented as we laughed "That dog has been living happily in my apartment eating all my food" Patricia finished her story Hannah shock her head "Sounds like our Jaz well mine is a non work story image that we have private lives to"
"Jaz, I were both about to be deployed again so she picked me up that night took me to a nightclub bought me a round of drinks and took my hand lead me to the dance floor, we just danced for hours we didn't need to talk, we hit on guys we knew we didn't have a chance with and ones who knew they didn't have a chance with us, just when they started to get too into it we left and hit up another nightclub"
"The best part was when we were out by the Washington monument it was July 4th so it was packed everyone was awaiting the fireworks bored and restless kids were complaining, so Jaz who was drunk off her cute ass got on top of the wall over the water and started dancing to the music playing entertaining the kids, Hannah started laughing hysterically tears rolling down her eyes.
"She fell straight into the water and couldn't get up because she was so drunk, of course it was slippery everyone was laughing taking videos but instead of being embarrassed she laughed it up bowing calling out her thank you's until the cops tried to arrest her ass"
"Jaz never once used her position as a soldier to try to get out of being in trouble she just apologized and promised to behavior, I had to drag her soaked drunk ass out of there both of us slipping the whole way we ended up in the park dancing under the moonlight, watching the fireworks"
I saw Hannah start to break down suddenly so I reached over and pulled her into a hug she had been so strong for me, I think it just started to hit her that someone she loved someone who she had her own relationship, memories with was seriously hurt.
Patricia got up going over to Jaz taking her hand I rubbed Hannah's back handing her a tissue picking her head up I wiped her tears away. "She wouldn't want you to cry Hannah she wo- I never got to finish what I was saying because Hannah's lips were suddenly on mine. Shock filled every fiber of my being as I heard Patricia gasp "Jaz! Someone get help in here now!"
Coming out of the shock I pushed Hannah off she jumped back covering her mouth gasping out "I'm so sorry!" Before bolting out of the room I raced up to see Jaz's body convulse for a few minutes before her hand went limp in Patricia's seconds later a loud wail filled the room.
The room was filled within minutes with medical teams as someone pushed an alarm shoving us out of the room Patricia grabbed my hand as I heard the overhead speaker blare out.
"Code Blue MICU 22!"
"Code Blue MICU 22!"
