JACK POV
Andy was lying on the ground. A pool of blood was forming around her. Next to her some man was shaking. What have I done, I should have left Maria and came here as fast as possible.
"Marco you stay here with our granny. I will go help Jack." Jorge orderd, while I was already kneeling beside Herrera.
"Andy what happened?!" I asked her and started cleaning her stabb wound.
"He... wanted drugs. He... threatened me... with a knife. Must have... overdosed... mixed drugs. I tried to... stop him." Andy answered shortcuting every sentence. She wasn't able to talk and her skin was getting paler. I radioed the team, but I didn't get any response.
"It's OK, you should save your energy. Don't talk to much and do not fall asleep." I said as I tried to stop the bleeding on her side.
"My head hurts." She whispered. I looked at her head, it looked bad, she was bleeding there too. I hope her skull is not broken and her brain is not damaged.
"Shhh I will give you something soon." I tried to comfort her.
"Jack how can I help?" Jorge asked.
"Open the doors to the aid car and give me some fentanyl. Vails should be on the top, right shelf." Meanwhile I tried to contact 19 again.
"Capitan it's Jack we need a backup here. Maya for God's sake, where are you, answer me." I was getting mad. The team have training, but she should have her radio on. I switched the channel and contacted all units.
"To all units it's Lithuendant Jack Gibson from station 19. I need a backup on 24 Lexington street. We have a firefighter down. I repeat we have a firefighter down. I need 2 additional aid cars and at least 1 more paramedic. If possible send Warren's PRT." I said and gave Andy fentanyl, which Jorge found.
"Copy that. Station 23 is 13 minutes away. We don't have status on PRT so we are sending 81. They should be there in 20." Dispatch said.
"They need to hurry up. I don't have that much time." I took out my phone and tried to call Bishop, but she rejected the call. Shit, her stupid rule. She isn't answering from me, even when her best friend is dying.
"They are doing their best, but it's only 4 minutes from 19. We are notifying your station, they should be there sooner." Dispatcher voice sounded again.
I didn't stop giving pressure to Andy's would. Unfortunately the bleeding didn't stopped either. She doesn't have 13 minutes. She will bleed out faster.
"Jack this guy is getting worse." Jorge said.
"Help him. Save the life you can save." Andy told me. Now I know what Warren felt. They both are in bad condition, but I can't leave her. Not after talking the whole morning about, the fact that I loved her so much, that I wanted to marry her. Their situation changed, but deep down I still loved her. I didn't know how much I missed her, until this night in the Joe's bar.
"I can't leave you. You will survive, just like Montgomery did after skyscraper. Just like I did when you saved me." I can't lose her. She destroyed her chances for promotion, only to save my life. She could have been suspended, but she still chosen me over this.
"Jorge take the syringe out of his vein and try to keep his head still. We should give him a drip, but I can't leave her to enter PVC into his vein."
"I will do it. I'm a vet." Jorge said.
"Can you find it in the car?" I asked.
"Yeah, I will find it." Jorge answered.
"Jack, left pocket." Andy said.
"What is in there?" I asked.
"Your surprise."
"No, Andy you will make it and you will give it to me as you planned."
"Please take it." She said, not wanting to hear another refusal. I opened the pocket and found old picture. Old picture of me, with my foster siblings. The ones I told her about, when we decided to move in together.
"How, how did you found it?" I was shocked and happy. She really is amazing.
"On the other side is... her husband's phone number. You need to call him and say,... that I won't be able... to go for the dinner tonight."
"Oh my God. Thank you. That is an amazing surprise. We will reschedule the dinner. I want to go there with you and you are gonna make it." I was happy through my tears. She found my siblings, but I'm also losing her. Please they need to hurry.
"Andy open your eyes you can't fall asleep. You can't leave me. I hugged her lightly. My legs was under her back, one of my hands was still on her wound and the other one under her head. I put my head as close to her chest as possible. I hear her weak and shallow breaths. Tears was running down from my eyes. That's when I heard the sirens. Are they on time? Is it too late?
