CRASH – chapter 3
He woke up again, opening his eyes and trying to focus on his surroundings, the constant beeping was still loud in his ears and that terrible not being able to move was there too. He tried to move his head to his side but found it impossible, so he shifted his eyes, he could see from the corner of his eye the large machine by his bed side, his eyes drifted a little upward to see another bed next to him but still quite far, there was someone lying in that bed, hooked to all kinds of machinery same as he was he figured, the figure lying in the next bed was too small and far for him to make it out, he could see a bit of yellow though.
Just as he was starting to think a little clearer the nurses noticed he was awake and immediately pushed some more sedatives into his IV, his eyes drifted shut again even if it was against his will, just before he lost consciousness again that name floated into his mind and his lips formed that name and whispered
"Sam" the young nurse bent to listen to him but he was already under the sedative's influence.
"He said something" she said as she came to sit at the nurses' station with her shift friend.
"What did he say?"
"I don't know, I couldn't tell"
"Oh well" they both shrugged their shoulders and went on with their job.
*~*~*
George was pacing the length of his office, awaiting any answers about his missing people, his heart was pounding and his mind conjured scenarios that made his heart sink with the dreaded feeling of doom.
"Sir?" that same young Corporal stood it his office entrance
"Yes?" he stopped pacing and stared at her.
"We found nothing" she said quietly
"Thank you Corporal, dismissed" he wasn't sure if that bit of news made him breath easier but at that moment he thanked god for not needing to go down to the morgue or hospitals to identify his … friends.
*~*~*
It's been days since he ate or drank anything, he could feel his eye was swollen shut and his lip just started bleeding again with that last punch he received to his face, earlier that day they worked on his ribs and stomach now they where working hard at rearranging his face.
"Tell me what I need to know and I'll make them stop" the voice kept saying over and over again, it's been going on since they grabbed him or more to the point shot him and then took him to this place wherever it was, that voice told him
"You can scream all you want no one will ever hear you, and as long as you keep this up so will they" he couldn't see their faces and he wasn't trying to anymore.
"What do you want?" he choked out, his throat sore and dry.
"You know what I want I asked you a thousand times already"
"No you didn't" he argued that earned him another punch in the ribs, the force threw him to the floor with the chair he was tied to, he heard the cracked bone of his right arm as his entire weight with the chair landed on it, that caused him to scream out in pain as he heard the laughter around him as the chair was lifted.
The movement caused another shooting pain through his arm but he managed to stifle the scream and all they saw was the grimace to his face.
"Once again tell me what I want to know" the voice demanded
"Ok, I'll tell you anything" he choked on his words as he continued "Just as soon as hell freezes over and pigs start to fly" that earned him some pretty good lashes as he finally gave into the darkness and his head slouched forward, but he couldn't even bask in his unconsciousness as cold water was splashed to his face, he woke with a start to shake his head making the pain in the back of it pound again, he licked his lips trying to drink in the drops of water.
