ANDY POV
I didn't have to wait long for the call. Jack and I were send to help some old lady, who fell from her bed and broke her arm.
"Aghh that was the longest 20 minutesof trainingin my life." I told Jack as we entered the aid car.
"Yeah, this call saved you from the other 70 minutes. I have no idea what is Maya's problem, but as we are alone, can you finally tell me what is this surprise?" Asked Gibson with a puppy face.
"I can't and you better focus on driving. I don't want to have another accident in the aid car."
"And you not gonna have it now, because we are here." Said Jack and pointed his finger at the apartment building.
"Ok that was fast we are only 4 minutes away from 19." I said.
"Yeah, maybe we still be able to join the training." Gibson joked.
"Oh hell no. This woman is living on second floor and this building don't have elevators. I think that this could count as a training, if we will need to carry her down." I said.
"Well she broke her arm, she should be able to walk."
"She's an elderly woman and she fell from the bed, I hope it's only broken arm Jack."
"Good point, lets go and see it for ourselves." We took all needed supplies and went to the building. When we reached second floor muscular teen around 19 greeted us.
"Hello, thank God you are here. I'm Marco, I called you."
"Ok Marco, tell us where is our patient and what happened." I said.
"Come on in, my grandmother is in the room in the end of the corridor. I don't know what exactly happened. Me and my brother Jorge, came to visit our granny Maria, and we found her like this." Marco said as he led us to the room. Inside we found woman around 80 and another muscular guy who looked 23. Maria was still lying on the floor and she definitely was in pain. Her arm was obviously broken, but I suspected that the fell caused more damage. We greeted each other and I prepared to work.
"She couldn't get up and we didn't wanted to cause more damage, so we didn't moved her." Said Jorge.
"Yeah, you did the right thing guys." Jack commend them. Meanwhile, I was checking on our patient and my suspicions were right.
"Jack, I think her hip is broken."
"You are right Andy. Maria on scale of 1 to 10, how strong is your pain?" Gibson asked.
"I would say 6 or 6.5, but can you please give me something for the pain?" Maria begged.
"Ok, but first, do you have any allergies, are you taking any medications or are you ill?" Jack stared questioning her.
"I don't have any allergies and my doctor said that I'm as fit as a fiddle, so I'm only taking vitamins." Maria answered.
"Woow that's unusual, especially in your age." I said.
"Yeah she will probably outlive us all." Jorge chuckled .
"It's a shame that my bones are not so strong anymore." Maria said.
"Well it's normal. Andy can you give me the fentanyl for Maria?"
"I'm looking in the bag, but it's not in here. Thanks for the training we hadn't done the stocktaking. I will run to the aid car and take the vials." I offered
"Yeah, me and the guys will immobilize her legs and arm." Jack said, as I started walking back to the aid car. When I was outside, I suddenly felt unsafe. It seemed stupid, so I moved to the car. I took the vials and when I was about to close the door, something cold touched my neck. It was a knife, pretty sharp one. Small drop of blood, runned down my neck.
"I won't hurt you, just give me all the morphine which you have inside." Male's voice sounded in my ear.
"We don't have morphine inside." I answered calmly.
"You're lying!" He said angrily and pushed the knife closer to my neck, which made my wound to open wider.
"Andy you coming?" Jack asked through the radio.
"I have to answer this, otherwise he will come down here." I said to my attacker.
"You will answer and say that everything is good. Don't do anything stupid. I don't want to hurt you." He loosed his grip. It was my chance to get free. He was an addict and I couldn't give him the morphine, so I had to fight him. I pushed him away from me. We struggled and he stabbed me. Thanks to adrenaline I didn't felt pain. I took the knife out from my side and threw it away. That was stupid, but I didn't think straight at the time. I broke this guy's nose and kicked him pretty hard, but that wasn't enough. He overpowered me and smashed my head onto the aid car. After third hit I went on the ground. Pain overtook me and he won. When I was on the ground 2 vials of fentanyl dropped out of my pocket.
"What do we got here? Oh fentanyl. I think it will works too. You wouldn't be in pain now if you had given it to me faster." He took out his syringe and applied the drug. He was walking away when he fell on the ground and started shaking. Overdose, he overdosed. He must have use something earlier and now it caused this. I wanted to get up and help him, but I couldn't. I looked at my side and saw big stains of blood. It's not good.
"Andy where are you?" Jack asked again.
"Hh..elp." I cried out.
"I'm on my way. Are you safe?"
"Y...yes. Come, fast." I could barely talk.
JACK POV
Hearing Andy's hurt voice almost broke my heart. What happened, how bad it is? Should I leave Maria here or should I bring her down? I didn't have time. I needed to work fast.
"You heard that, something happened. Maria your legs and arm are immobilized. Guys can you help me bring your grandma down?"
"We can stay here, you go help your partner. I will wait." Maria offered.
"No, you are in pain, plus your broken bones could have caused internal bleeding. I need to be close to you, so I could react if something happen. Boys we are gonna see how this muscles of yours are working." I said.
"We are ready boss." They answered. I never went down the stairs with the victim soo fast. When I opened the door, I saw something, which I would never want to see again.
New chapter! What do you think? Will everyone be OK? Will Andy have a chance to tell Jack what the surprise is? How the team is going to react. Tell me :) I hope you like it.
