Chapter 2- What is Your Emergency?

Aniesha ran out the door and out the apartment complex. Lu dropped to floor in pain and loosing consciousness for a few minutes. Lu opened her eyes ever so slightly and realized she had taken one to the stomach. Lu new she was in trouble and had to do something quickly. Still lying in pain on her back she moved on her back from the door hallway to the coffee table where the phone happened to lay. She picked up the phone and took a deep breath trying to stay in composure. Lu laid there and dialed 9-1-1.

"Hello, what is your emergency?"

"Um...I got shot."

"Ok, stay calm and keep breathing and I will send an ambulance," the operator replied trying to make sure Lu was calm.

"What is your name?"

"Dr. Lu...Del...gado," Lu said in pain.

"Lu, so you are a doctor huh." The operator said trying to distract Lu on what was really going on.

"I run...a fr...ee...cli..."

"Hello Lu, you still there?" the operator questioned not hearing the end of her sentence. Then she heard one loud gasp and it went silent.

The operator radioed over to the ambulance and said, "No response right now and having trouble breathing! I think she is going into shock!"

The ambulance hurried over to the scene. Lu opened her eyes a minute later. Seconds later she heard pounding at her door. She knew it was help but couldn't move at all. After another five minutes the paramedics finally got into the apartment. They found Lu semi- conscious and breathing heavily. They figured she was bleeding internally so they gave her some oxygen and transported her to Rittenhouse Hospital.
