--I hope you like chapter two! more to come!
I put on the white latex gloves, and got the scene processing bag from the living room.
I walked over to the girl, and stood beside the bed, just for a moment, just looking at her.
She was actually quite beautiful, even though the colour had begun to drain from her face.
Her hair was like a mass of red fire. It seemed, just from looking at it,
That it was very thick, and very curly.
Though it was her eyes that intrigued me…They were open, and they weren't quite glazed over.
"Hey Sara, come 'ere"
Sara walked into the bedroom, and stood beside me. "What is it Nick?"
"Sara, look at her eyes.."
"What about them?"
"They're not glazed…Her eyes. They don't look dead.."
Sara gave me a quizzical glance "Nick…There's blood everywhere…How could she not be dead?"
"Lemme check her pulse.."
I placed two of my fingers right under her jaw on her neck..
"Sara…Sara, come here."
"What is it Nick?"
"Feel this."
Sara placed her thin fingers underneath the girls jaw on her neck…
"Good Lord…Nick, call the EMT…This girl's not dead!"
"Sara, the EMT will take to long…"
"Nicky, that's …."
"Sara, you know the EMT's will take to long. This poor girl's
Almost half-dead…. We caught her just before she let go…
Please Sara?"
Sara ushered me towards the door.
"Go on, get, get this poor girl to the hospital, turn on the lights, and siren, and Get there fast"
I smiled at her "Gotcha!"
Sara turned serious.
" Wrap her in a sheet to preserve trace, and be careful with her…Nicky, this girl's life is in your hands."
I picked the thin sixteen year old up, very, very, gently, so as not to screw up any Trace, and laid her on the light, lavender comforter, and wrapped her in it.
Sara was holding the door open.
"Nick, remember, you're taking the quickest route there, get there the fastest way possible,
And don't stop for anything.. We're lucky enough that this girl's alive now, but if you don't hurry, she may not be."
I smiled at her,
" Don't worry, I'll get there as fast as anything."
I then walked out the door, but not before I heard Sara mutter,
" Let's just hope anything isn't a turtle…"
