"Boz, the Prozac isn't hers, and the Vic's were refilled today. It says there are 30 in the bottle. I can only find 10. The Prozac is written out to someone, and says there should be 30 in the bottle. I can only see 4. The cocaine looks like at least 3 or 4 lines." He kneeled next to her head and tilted her head back, as Carlos got out a bag and an ET Tube. He hooked her up to the monitor and saw a rapid almost tachachardic pulse. He felt tears coming to his eyes, but stayed focused.
"Ty, keep an eye on the monitor, I need to tube her." He moved to her head and tilted her head back slightly. He put the tube down her throat and hooked the bag up to it. He told Ty to squeeze the bag and looked at Bosco. Bosco looked like hell. He held his sister's hand as Carlos heard the monitor go erratic. He saw her go flat-line and started chest compressions. Bosco started to cry as Sully and Yokas moved into the room. Yokas gasped seeing what they saw. Carlos cursed softly as he pressed her chest, not getting much of a response. Ty squeezed the bag, forcing air into her lungs.
"Did you find anything?" Bosco looked towards Sully and Yokas and they shook their heads.
"Everything is in here; get rid it, please?" Ty said to them as he continued to squeeze the bag. After a moment, the monitor started to beep with her heart rate turning somewhat normal. Carlos leaned back and sighed, starting an IV in her hand. He looked at Bosco and tied the bag to the bedpost. Ty stopped squeezing the bag as Carlos listened to see if she would breathe on her own. He nodded and gently pulled the tube out. He had others in case something happened. He gently tapped Mercedes cheek, getting her to wake up. She opened her eyes and looked around. She saw them all and sat up.
"What were you trying to do Mercedes?" Bosco looked at her as she stumbled up and sat on the bed.
"I think I have the answer right here." Sully held out the note and Bosco read it, looking over at her.
"Are you nuts? You tried to commit suicide!" He stood up, cursing.
"Bosco, we have to get her to the hospital, or call Mary. She can get the things we need, and she won't tell anyone. We have to get this out of her system; she can die wit that dosage in her system." Carlos said as Ty was already on the phone with Mercy. He convinced Mary to get the things they needed and not tell anyone.
"Mercedes, why? You could have come to us." Carlos looked at her and touched her cheek. She slapped his hand away and growled at him.
"Go to you? You always fight with me. I am out of here." She tried to stand up, and collapsed. The heart monitor she was attached to showed her going tachachardic again. Carlos cried out and laid her down, starting compressions again. Ty got the bag and started to force air into her lungs.
"Bosco, open the drug bag. I might need some stuff in there. Damn it, she's in V-Fib." He got the defibrillator ready and shocked his own wife. Her body jerked but the rhythm stayed the same. He waited a moment, turning it up and shocked her again. Her body jerked more and she went flat-line. He started to pump her chest again, crying softly. After 10 minutes of CPR, Mary came in, holding the bags of stuff they needed. She moved Ty and assisted Carlos.
"Davis, there is a container of Charcoal in there. Get it out as well as the tube. Once we get her back we are going to have to give it to her." Mary gave Ty the order and he followed. Yokas helped Bosco into the living room. Carlos' brow was glistening with sweat as he pressed his wife's chest, watching her slowly die in front of him. Mary re-tubed her and attached the bag to the tube and gave her oxygen that way. After 5 long minutes, the Monitor gave off a heartbeat. Carlos leaned back and thanked god.
"Ok, pass me the tube, I have to feed it to her stomach." Mary got the tube and moved it down one of her nostrils. Moving it slowly, she stopped at a point and checked where it was. She was satisfied it was in her stomach and attached the charcoal container to the tube, letting it feed through her nose to her stomach.
"What will that do?" Ty looked over at Mary as she stood up.
"It will get rid of the toxins in her system. I brought enough to rid her body, if it hasn't already set in. She doesn't deserve this; you should bring her to the hospital."
"We can't. If we do, the FD will find out and she will lose her job. We have to keep her here and help her from here." Bosco looked at her, pleading for her to agree. After a moment, she nodded. Ty sighed with relief. Carlos stayed by his wife, and sighed. He hoped she would be all right. Everyone but Carlos started to walk out when they heard him yell.
"She's seizing!" They all ran back in as Carlos moved his arms, and Mercedes body Convulsed.
"Ty, keep an eye on the monitor, I need to tube her." He moved to her head and tilted her head back slightly. He put the tube down her throat and hooked the bag up to it. He told Ty to squeeze the bag and looked at Bosco. Bosco looked like hell. He held his sister's hand as Carlos heard the monitor go erratic. He saw her go flat-line and started chest compressions.
