With no small amount of difficulty Shades and Joseph broke through the police lines to get to the scene, flashing their security badges and nearly bowling over the young officer standing at the barricade. Joseph ran ahead of Shades but stopped cold at the sight before him. Paramedics, firefighters, police, and onlookers surrounded what was left of Mia's Mustang, the part that could be seen sticking out from under the trolley. Joseph's knees buckled under him, and Shades held onto him until he steadied himself.
"She's under there." It was half a question and half a statement of disbelief.
The officer in charge came over to them, having been alerted to their presence by a fellow officer.
"I'm Officer Gates. You are?"
"Head of Security for the Genovian Royal Family. This is my deputy." Joseph wiped his face with his sleeve and was barely able to whisper his next question. "How is she?"
"Look, I'm going to level with you. We're doing everything in our power to get her out of there. She's hurt badly, we don't know how bad exactly, but she's banged up and lost some blood. The paramedics are under there with her, talking to her trying to keep her conscious until we can get the damn trolley off of her and lift her out of there."
"I want to see her."
"Look, Mac, just give them a few minutes to…"
Joseph cut him off. "I'm her body guard, I'm going under there, don't even bother trying to stop me."
He was gone before the officer could object further. He turned to Shades and spoke sternly. "He'd better stay out of the way. You too." Shades only nodded and watched his boss crawl under the trolley, not bothering to avoid the broken glass in his desperate need to get to his Queen.
A/N Short. Yes. But more is on the way, so be strong, young grasshoppers...
