Chapter 3
His heart makes a jump in his chest, when he touches something hot and gluey.
Brennan: Adam! Jesse! She is there!!! Come quickly!!
The two friends join him and together they clear the body of the young woman. Emma stands back... her eyes nailed on the stage, the fear enrolling on her face and in her eyes. Brennan bends the face of the feline, clear hair pitched of blood that glues her skin softly; he puts his hand on the face of Shalimar, the way to insure himself that she is fine ... He then discovers the light breath that escapes from the mouth of the young woman.
Brennan: She's alive! We have to rush! We need to get her out of there!
Adam: Calm! It is not necessary to move her too quickly, we don't know what the extent is of her injuries and unfortunately, I can't do anything here. We need to transport her as quickly as possible, to Sanctuary.
Emma who had remained without moving, to watch them taking the debris of her friend, suddenly starts to look for Anna and her son. She ends up finding them, shrivelled up in a corner, frightened, afraid and shocked. Knowing her friend is in good hands with Adam and not to scare them anymore, she walks slowly to Anna and her son.
Emma: Anna, we come to help you. We are Mutant X, you contacted us...
Anna raises her eyes timidly towards Emma and a small smile draws itself on her lips.
Anna: Do you work with Adam Kane?
Emma: Yes Anna and we are going to put you in a shelter, you and your son. You won't have to fear the GSA and Eckhart anymore.
Anna: The GSA... these are the ones that pursued us? But my husband... my husband worked for the GSA. I don't understand why they would have hunted us! This cannot be the GSA! My husband worked for them!
Emma sees panic taking over Anna and tries to send her a psychic wave to calm her down. She looks down to the child, who seems to have understood, what just had happened in front of him.
Emma: Come! We are going to put you in a safe place.
Emma reaches her hand to help Anna to stand up and brings them outside. Through the passage, she notices a part of the GSA's agents had run away at the time of the explosion, the others are even unconscious. Adam and Jesses succeeded in clearing the body of Shalimar from the debris that had completely covered her. At the first sight, Adam could see that the right leg of the feline is broken to the level of the tibia, her right shoulder seems either dislocated or broken, and the scanner will tell it to them more precisely... a mean wound blocks the head of the young woman from the right temple. The whole right side seems to have endured the explosion...
Brennan cannot help them to transport his friend in the plane, his injury to the shoulder stopped him from moving also did the dizziness. Adam took Shalimar under the armpits, while Jesse catches her under the knees... as careful as possible; they raise her of the ground and were heading towards the outside of the hangar.
Adam: Brennan, are you able to look for the helix, which is on the roof?
Adam looks at Brennan; he sees the transpiration coming from Brennan's face... He can see that his friend is not in a very good state, but he knows that they cannot transport Shalimar to the roof in her condition.
Brennan: Yes, I am going there. Stay here and take good care of her.
He keeps looking at the body, covered with blood of the youngster feline, his heart hitting twice as hard in his chest...
Emma: I am coming with you.
She feels her friend's pain, but also his physical pain. She decided to join Brennan and try to keep him on his feet.
Adam: Make it fast. It is necessary to bring her to Sanctuary, as fast as we can, so that I can look at her injuries.
Adam was not showing it, but the paleness of his young friend worried him, the pulse is weak and the abundant bleedings... He knows that the visible injuries are not always the most serious.
Adam: Jesse, we are going to lay her carefully here.
With his chin, he pointed out the place. They move slowly to the indicated place and gently, very gently, put Shalimar down on the floor. Jesse removes his jacket, that he gives to Adam to put it under the head of the young woman. His stomach is tied by the fear, while seeing the state Shalimar is in.
Jesse: It doesn't seem like she is doing well.You see that she has blood sinking of her right ear.
His eyes met the anxious looking eyes of Adam. He doesn't need to say anything. The two men remain squatting before the young woman, waiting, tortured by their concern, for Emma and Brennan, to come back with the Helix. A couple of meters further, Anna and her son are also waiting, the eyes nailed on the trio. Anna feels guilty of what happened to the young woman and keeps her son, who wants to approach the others, near her.
Some long minutes later, they all raise their heads and see the helix coming down toward the big free place to land. Jesse and Adam use their body to protect Shalimar of the wind produces by the landing of the plane. Anna and his son move back, watching this monster lands.
Emma comes quickly out of the helix to join Anna. She reassures her, while taking her by the hand and then takes them inside the plane. She asks them to sit down and to tie themselves, jumps to her friends, who are getting ready to raise the feline once again. They did the same thing like some minutes earlier in the hangar and raise Shalimar, carefully... They took their friend, still unconscious inside the helix. Emma spreads several covers on the ground, so they can lay her there.
When the woman was stretched out, Jesse rushes to the front of the Helix to fly them as quickly as he could to their Sanctuary. During this time, Emma reassures Anna and his son, letting Adam and Brennan to take care of Shalimar. Adam recovers the kit of first aid quickly, and looks for things he can use to see what state the feline is
He starts with cleaning the different wounds that block the face of Shalimar, as clear as possible in these circumstances Some of them are just light cuts and will not need special care. He makes a fast inventory for later. Others are more serious and will certainly needs some sutures. The different wounds stopped bleeding but blood already coagulated forming thick crusts parts. While turning the face of the young woman to have a better view on her, he sees a great deal of blood dried on her right temple. He tries to clean the wound that seems deep and surrounded with a purplish haematoma. The slash is beautiful, long of about 15cm, leaving from the corner of the right eye, just behind the ear... it will be necessary to suture... The out-flow of blood in her ear worried him too, but he cannot estimate the extent of the damages just by his eyes... He puts his hand then on the right scapula of Shalimar and sees the bone that is not in his place. He doesn't dare to touch her there and he was just content with noticing it...While descending, he raises the tee-shirt of the young woman and sees exactly what he was expecting... the purplish spots... before he has the time to finish his inventory, Jesse tell them that Sanctuary is in sight and that they will land in a short time. Adam look around him and cross the look of Brennan, who was not leaving the eyes of the young woman. The concern is growing in him as Adam unveiled the injuries that are showing on his friend's body.
Adam: She is going to be fine Brennan... She is strong and she is going to make it!
He tries to convince himself as much as he tries to convince the young man.
Jesse: Here we are!
He puts the helix in the hangar of the Sanctuary and hurry to the back to join the rest of the team.
Adam: Jesse, go to the laboratory to look for a stretcher, we are not going to transport her like that, and we would risk aggravating her injuries. Emma, bring Anna and his son in the rec room and come back to check Brennan. I am going to take care of Shalimar and I would surely need your help then....
Brennan: No Adam, I don't need taking care of, I want to remain close to Shalimar; her state is a lot more troubling than mine. I have a bump rightly on the forehead and a small pain in the shoulder, an analgesic and that will be over.
Adam knows, or more precisely, felt the feelings that emanate Brennan, when he is in the presence of Shalimar... and especially now, when her life is being thread. He knows that Brennan will not listen to reason... he can see the distress written down on the features of his face and this distress is not the consequence of his injuries... but of his love for the young woman... It is good, such relations are born within the group; it can just complicate the situation...
Adam: Okay, you will remain close to her, but let Emma cleaning your injury on the forehead and bandage your shoulder, the pain is tolerable now, because you are in state of shock again, but later when the tension is lowered, you will feel it a lot more. It is necessary to take care of it now.
Brennan: Very well, but if you need Emma to help you with Shalimar, Jesse can take care of me, very well. The sooner you'll operate on Shalimar, the better it is...
A veil of sadness crosses his eyes to the thought that he could have lost her and that he will might lose her again...
Jesse arrives while running, trailing behind him the stretcher that Adam had asked
Jesse: Here it is! We are going to be able to transport her in all safety now.
He blocks the brakes of the stretcher and puts everything aside. He kneels close to Shalimar, next to Adam.
Jesse: How is she?
His look rest on the face of the young woman and he notices the darkness of the cutting blood and the paleness of her skin, a paleness nearly translucent... his heart tightens itself and the pain is like a stone in his stomach.
Adam: I cannot say anything for now. Her pulse is steady but weak. She lost a lot of blood and her injury on her head worries me... It is necessary to do a scan to see if there is not an internal bleeding.
At two, they raise for the third time their friend's inanimate body. They put her gently on the stretcher and Adam covers her with the blanket that Jesse had removed while he was coming back. Jesse stands at the head of the stretcher and pull it slowly towards him to get off the plane, handling it as gently as possible in order to avoid shaking. Very quickly, they reach the laboratory, followed closely by Brennan who has difficulty walking, his balance is unsteady. It worries Adam and yet he doesn't say anything.
