Chapter 11
Angel Of Mercy Hospital
It was now 5:00. Bosco had been rushed into Mercy in critical condition. The driver of the mack truck was drunk and on the wrong side of the road when it had hit him. Bosco had been too busy thinking about his plans for that evening to notice.
He had sustained multiple injuries to his body. He had a broken arm, four broken ribs, punctured lung and a broken leg. If that weren't enough, he was now in a coma.
Paramedics Kim Zambrano and Carlos Nieto had taken the call and brought him in. He was now in intensive care, awating surgery to fix the punctured lung.
Kim and Carlos stood at the nurses station talking quietly. Nurse Mary Proctor knew they were worried and brought them both a cup of coffee. It wasn't her job to do so, but she had grown to know these paramedics and police officers over the years and she wanted to do something to ease the tension.
" How is he Mary?" asked Kim nervously.
The older woman looked at Kim and shook her head. " I'll tell you Kim, I can't say for sure, but I'd be surprised if he makes it through the night. His injuries are bad. The punctured lung didn't help any, either. We just have to wait and see if he wakes up. Has anyone called Faith? She's usually the first one here when he gets hurt."
Carlos shook his head. " No, we never thought. What's the number Kim, I'll give her a call.".
"No. I'll do it. You go restock the bus. I'll meet you out there". Kim said firmly.
" Ok. Whatever". he said, shrugging his shoulders. He walked down the hall to try and catch up with a pretty new intern before she stepped into the elevator. She stepped in and he followed right behind her. " Hey there Marissa, did I ever tell you how pretty...." The doors shut. Kim rolled her eyes.
He was the LAST person she would want to get a call from. Carlos was not known for his sensitivity. Rather, he was known for his insensitive comments as well as his childish behaviour and male chauvanistic attitude. She could just imagine him calling Faith and saying something like " Faith. Get your ass down here. Bosco's been in a real bad accident. Ya better get here before he dies".
Kim took a deep breath before reaching for the phone. She hated making calls like this. She had never gotten over Bobby's death, and every time she had to make a call she was always reminded of him.
The phone rang about eight times before Faith picked it up.
" Hi, Faith? It's Kim. It's not good news. You may want to get over to Mercy right away....it's Bosco. He's been hurt bad. Real bad."
