Kim and Mercedes put the stretcher into the back of the bus and Kim got in the driver's side. Mercedes get vitals and called Mercy with the details. After a moment she hung up the phone and Kim was off and speeding towards Mercy. Sitting next to the woman, she monitored her to make sure there were no complications. Mercedes buckled the seatbelt that was on the bench and watched the lady, who was looking at her.
"When are you due?" The old lady said faintly.
"6 weeks." Mercedes smiled, kind of self-conscious about how big her stomach was. Sometimes she wondered if she was having twins.
"You'll have a beautiful baby. You're a very pretty woman." The old lady coughed softly.
"Thank you. Just breathe slowly and deeply. Save your energy. How far Kim?"
"About 2 minutes out." Kim replied, turning right.
"All right. She seems stable." Mercedes looked down and saw the woman was unconscious.
"Ma'am? Ma'am! Wake up." Mercedes unbuckled her seatbelt and tried to wake the woman up.
"Kim, hurry up, she's lost consciousness and she's throwing PVC's!"
Kim turned another corner and screamed. Mercedes turned in time to see the car in the front windshield pulling out. Mercedes grabbed a hold of the bars on the roof as Kim lurched to the left. Mercedes slammed into the supply cupboards and flew back against the doors. Kim lurched to the right, trying to right the bus when Mercedes felt a sudden tilt.
"Hold on!" Kim yelled as the bus flipped. Sliding on its side, and halfway on its roof, it sailed for a good 25 to 30 feet. Sparks flew as the metal met the asphalt. The bus came to a rest after slamming into on-coming traffic.
A few blocks away, Bosco and Faith were driving when a call came in.
"55-David, respond to a multi car MVA. Injuries confirmed Bus vs. oncoming traffic. EMS is en-route."
"55-David. 10-4" Faith looked at Bosco. Bosco turned on the siren and sped up. Arriving at the scene, they saw the Bus flipped on its side and resting surrounded by cars that had hit it. Bosco ran over and checked the back. Everything was tossed around and he saw an old lady laying on the stretcher, still strapped in. He looked for the other Paramedic, but didn't see anyone else. Faith moved to the front and saw the windshield was smashed and Kim pinned in the driver's seat. Her seatbelt saved her from getting crushed by the car that hit the passenger side.
"KIM! Answer me!" Faith screamed in as the 55 Squad pulled up and started getting things together to extract anyone that needed to be. Bosco walked to the front and met Faith.
"Where's the second Paramedic?" Faith looked at him and shrugged.
"Bosco, Kim was the driver. Which means Mercedes was in the back."
Bosco turned white as 55-3 and 55-Charlie pulled up. Bosco ran into the back and looked for his sister, not finding her. 55-Charlie ran up to ask if he needed help.
"Mercedes was in back and she's not there now! We got to find her!" Bosco started running around the bus, looking between cars as Carlos and Doc ran over.
"Where's Kim and Mercedes?" Doc asked as Bosco pointed.
"Kim pinned inside the driver's seat. Mercedes is missing." Bosco looked at Carlos who almost had a heart attack. Looking back, he saw the littered remains of the supply cupboards and ran towards the beginning of it. Ty went with him as Sully continued to look around parked cars. The Squad went to pulling Kim out and started cutting the door off. Doc called in for more EMS units to help. Bosco ran with Carlos and Ty, looking around where the crash started.
"Over here!" Ty yelled, standing between 2 cars. Bosco and Carlos looked down and saw Mercedes, laying on her side, bleeding from a wound to her head. Carlos kneeled by her and started checking her for any other damage as Doc rushed over with the bags and the stretcher. Putting a collar around her neck, Doc and Carlos moved her to the backboard and placed it on the stretcher, moving her to the parked Bus. Pushing her in, Carlos got in back with Bosco as Doc got in the driver's seat.
Carlos attached his wife to the monitors and got an IV in her arm, trying to concentrate on helping her instead of breaking down into tears. Looking at her, Bosco got sick to his stomach. Why did it have to be his sister? Why couldn't it have been someone he didn't know?
"Carlos."Bosco looked up at him as Carlos just worked on his wife.
"Carlos!" Bosco looked up at him and pointed at Mercedes. Her eyes were open and she looked up at them both in a panic.
"Love. Oh god, you're awake." He took her hand as Doc pulled up to the ER. Doc ran to the back and opened the doors, puling her out as Bosco and Carlos hopped out. Pushing her in, Doc read off vitals and the doctors took her. Carlos went in with them and watched as they checked her out.
"When are you due?" The old lady said faintly.
"6 weeks." Mercedes smiled, kind of self-conscious about how big her stomach was. Sometimes she wondered if she was having twins.
