The Longest Day
Part 5
Note- Yet again thanks for the reviews and I will try to keep this story rolling if I can. Oh and I named the two guys I just realized they were unnamed.
Carter sat calmly as the man held the gun to his head "Jay what do you want me and Max to do?"
"Leave them both here we don't have time now that your cover has been blown"
Max glanced at his partner and quickly grabbed the phone from beside Carter and ripped it from the wall "Come on Bill lets go" they held their guns steadily and took Jay's hand to retrieve him from the floor.
Benton watched as the three men walked calmly up the steps towards freedom. They closed and locked the door. Benton crawled beside Carter who was having trouble breathing as Benton ripped his sleeve off to bandage Carter's wound a loud screeching noise was heard from behind the door as the convicts pushed a large bookshelf in front of the door blocking it from view.
Benton drew his attention back to Carter as he began to shake violently, Benton was unprepared and could do nothing but hold Carter through his raging seizure. "Come on man, it's ok just stay with me" he prayed for help only to be greeted by a deafening silence.
Carter's eyes began to flutter as the world slowly came back to him. "What? Where?..."
"Shh... save your breath it'll be ok I'll get us out of here" Benton thought hard of anyway to get out of the basement he knew that without medical assistance that Carter would have no chance. Just then Benton remembered his cell phone he searched his pockets and found nothing.
After scanning the floor for his phone and not finding anything he stared at the blue cake all over the floor and upon searching through the dessert he found his phone covered in frosting.
Benton dialed the police station to ask for help.
"Hello this is doctor Benton I need agent Kennedy right now" only seconds went by before agent Kennedy responded but to Benton it seemed like an eternity
"Hello this is agent Kennedy"
"This is Dr. Benton I am at the motel and I need help me and my colleague are trapped in the basement and he is severely injured"
"Ok, we have a warrant out for the two men I thought to be agents and this so called Jay, we have a crew on their way they should be there within 10 to 15 minutes can you hold out that long?"
Benton sighed "Do we have a choice?" Benton's attention was taken away by Carter's abrupt coughing upon examination Benton noticed blood dripping from the corner of Carter's mouth. "Damn it" he pulled the phone back to his ear "Get that crew here soon I don't think Carter has much time" "Click" Benton rushed to Carter's side.
"Carter? Come on man talk to me stay awake can you hear me?"
Carter slowly nodded his head as he was hit with a more violent coughing fit. Benton raised carter to a sitting position until the attack subsided. Carter's ravaged body trembled and his voice cracked as he spoke "How ... does...it ...look?"
"You'll be alright man, not to bad" Benton's voice broke as he felt tears forming in his eyes while watching his former med student's life slip away. Not again was all he could think.
Carter finally succumbed to his exhaustion and faded in to a heavy sleep. It seemed like Days had passed when the sirens were finally heard. Benton ran up the stairs and stood behind the door "We're in here!" he screamed while pounding on the door.
It took the rescue team only a moment to realize where the shouts were coming from. Benton was relieved as he heard the familiar screech of the book shelf as it was moved aside. Within seconds paramedics were in the basement intubating Carter and staring IVs.
"We are to far from county mercy is our only hope" one paramedic stated as they worked to bring Carter's blood pressure up.
Benton looked agitated "If you drive fast we can be at county in 30 minutes, Mercy is inadequate for this type of trauma he wouldn't have a chance"
"This is your call, Doctor, that was just my opinion"
"I will take full responsibility for what ever occurs, just keep working" Benton got back to work as he noticed carters heart rate drop dangerously low. "He must have internal bleeding he isn't losing all of this blood from his arm"
Only moments later "Paddles...charge 100...clear"... "Damn it charge 150... clear... normal sinus, we have to get his crit up, start a dopamine drip at five mgs per unit"
"We are three minutes out Dr. Benton" the driver stated "Come on Carter hang in there man" As they pulled up to county Mark, Dr. Corday, and several nurses stood awaiting their arrival.
Note- sorry if medical stuff is incorrect, I will try to make to medical stuff seem real and most likely, worse case scenario more made up stuff. If you review that you don't mind I will continue without a thought to medical preciseness and so on. Hope you enjoyed either way.
