As Tyler made his way over to an injured woman, he heard Hank scream hiame. He

whirled around just in time to see a small car speeding towards him. Thar slammed on

its brakes but it was too late. It smashed into the young man causing hio flip over the

small automobile and crash hard into the pavement. The vehicle sped awand Tyler was

left lying there squirming around and letting out small anguished cries oain. Both

Hank and Jamie sprinted over to their friend's side. Tyler was trying hiest to hide the

pain, anyone could see that, but still tears ran down his face. As Jamient to roll Tyler

onto his back he noticed when he pulled his hand from Tyler's side hilove was covered

in blood. "Hank, I think he has a side wound." Hank ripped Tyler's shirff and noticed a

gash that looked about a foot long and was pouring out blood. "Jamie, stohe bleeding,

I'll try to stabilize him. "Man, look at his knee," Hank said quietly. Hinee looked

trashed. It was all deformed. As Hank slipped the neck brace around Tyler'eck he let

out a small cry. He had gotten really quiet and was having difficultreathing. Jamie

slipped an oxygen mask over Tyler's sweaty face. After they stabilized hior the ride

they loaded him up. The ambulance sped towards the hospital. "Hank," Jamialled,

"Let me barrow your cell phone. I'm gonna call Val and tell her to meet ut the

hospital." Jamie with shaking hand dialed Val's number.

Val was still on the phone with Catie when she heard her call waiting.

"Oh Catie, can you hang on it's my other line."

"Hello" Val asked

"Val?"

"Yes, this is she"

"Um, this is Jamie, I have some bad news."He paused choking back tears.

"Tyler had been hit by a car."

"Oh, my gosh."

"Meet us at the hospital okay?"

"I'm on my way."

Val told Catie to meet her at the hospital. Val grabbed her keys and fleut the door, not

even bothering to leave a note for her parents who were gone on their
Friday night date.

Val arrived at the trauma center even before Hank and Jamie were there. Shtarted to

pace by the door. Then she saw the squad's ambulance pull up. A team ooctors outside

met them. As they rolled Tyler's lifeless body into the center they passed
Val. Her heart

felt as if it had stopped at the sight of Tyler. His shirt was off,
exposing a bandage on his

side that was soaked in blood. His shaking hands had dry blood on them anis pant leg

was cut all the way up to his thigh because of his injured knee. His facad a number of

scraps on it one was a giant one on his forehead that dripped blood alown his face. Val

couldn't breathe. How could something this awful happen to sweet, caring
Tyler? What

could he have done to deserve this?
