In my Mind
By Happy Camper
Chapter Seven"Clear!"
Nothing. Jarod was panicing. If they couldn't get her back it would be his fault. Come on Parker, come on, he desperately thought to himself as he reset the defribulator.
"Clear"
Jarod put the paddles against Miss Parker's skin, waiting for it to charge. Then the lights flickered and died…the power was off.
"Sydney! The power!" Sydney looked at him, wide eyed.
"Jarod what do we do?"
"There's no battery on this one…." Said Jarod hopelessley staring at the useless paddles in his hands. Think, think! Was there another battery-powered defibrulator in the infirmary? Jarod put the paddles back and started CPR again.
"Sydney…go find the poratable defibrulator…there must be one somewhere." Sydney hurried off as Jarod tried to get Miss Parker back.

"Sir, the um…janitor is coming with a screwdriver to take the hinges off." Raines nodded angrily…this was taking too long. Why couldn't they just break the door down? But it was a heavy door; the sweeper had almost dislocated his shoulder already against it. The nurse that was supposed to be on duty had woken up and had said something about being summoned on an emergency. She couldn't remember anything else. Raines had a feeling about who was in the infirmary…Sydney. Raines also had a feeling that Jarod was there too.
A smile crept across his face as he imagined catching Jarod trying to save Miss Parker. If he caught Jarod with Sydney then he could get Mr. Parker to hand Jarod over to him. Raines smile grew to a grin.
Broots stirred. Someone had put him in the corner, against the wall. He was frightened for a moment…disorientated. Where am I?, he thought as his eyes came into focus. He nearly fainted again when he opened his eyes and found Raines standing over him.
"So…you're finally awake…and no doubt you know what your collegues are doing on the other side of this door."
"I…I…."
"Shut up."Raines snapped. Broots stopped imediateley, sitting up and pushing himself further into the corner. Raines continued, "Miss Parker's gone you can't save her. Let me guess, they're using the girl…and I thought Jarod was a genius…he's in there isn't he?"

"Jarod…I found this at the nurses station." Said Sydney, putting the Emergency medical bag on the floor. It was the kind of large padded bag that the Centre doctors would take to emergencies; hopefully it was big enough to hold a small portable defibrulator. Jarod was still trying to pump life into Miss Parker, he glanced at his watch…1 minute…there was still time. Sydney ripped open the Velcro….
"Jarod…I've got it!" cried Sydney pulling out the small portable unit. Jarod grabbed the paddles and set the dial.
"Clear!"
Nothing.

The last screw dropped to the floor and the hinge fell off. The swing doors didn't have handles so they fell with an incredibly loud crash. Raines pushed the janitor out of the way. Broots stood for a moment and when the sweeper next to him followed Raines through the doorway, decided that it was okay to go too.
As they entered the infirmary, the lights all flickered back on. Raines phone barely rang before he snatched it up and answered it.
"Sir?"
"Yes?"
"It's Sydney and Jarod sir…they're trying to resuscitate Miss Parker."
"Where?"
"Main ER, down the hall."
Raines hung up and marched swiftly down the corridor.
*****
Jarod could feel tears running down his face.
"Clear!"
Nothing.
"Jarod!…Jarod…did you hear something?"
"Clear!"
Nothing
"Jarod I just heard a crash in the hallway…did you hear it?"
"No Sydney just another minute…Clear!"
"Jarod I hear a voice…." Sydney's voice died away as they both heard the sound of the steady bleep…bleep of the heart monitor. Jarod looked up…smiling with tears running down his face.
"I knew it Syd…I knew it…what was that?"
"It sounds like Raines", whispered Sydney, "Jarod…we have to go…she'll be okay." Sydney grabbed his arm and dragged him away from Parker…and away from Raines.
And now on to chapter 8 and the conclusion….
