"Ms.? Ms.? My name is Hank," she heard, "I'll sit here through this with you and make sure your safe." She opened her eys slightly to find a paramedic at her side cleaning her face off. A breathing mask was over her face as pain shot through her body. "We'll get you out of this. I promise," Hank told her. She closed her eyes.

Bradin and Lucas were sitting at school not much later that day. Yes, Lucas just lost his step-mother, whom he did love like his own mother. However, he needed to go to school to take his exams. He was surprised that his step-sister wasn't there. It was also odd because she rarely missed a day of school. Even if she was deathly ill she would still show up.

He placed his pencil down after finishing his exam, looked up, and saw several police cars outside the window along with two ambulances and three firetrucks. He moved to look to see what was going on an noticed Kali's car. His heart stopped.

Bradin was sitting in his math class taking his final exam when he saw Lucas run by the room with several people running behind him. He peered outside and could not believe what he was looking at.

Lucas ran up to the scene and saw a gun lying in front of Kali's car. Her father, he thought. "No," he said tears coming to his eyes. He walked up, saw her car smashed and also saw the fire department trying to get into her car.

"Go!" a fire fighter yelled to another one that was near a truck. Everyone saw a huge spark. "Again!" he yelled. The spark lit up again. Another firefighter brought out the 'jaws of life' to see if they would try to save Kali.

"Kali!" he yelled, "Kali!"

Hank kept on talking to her when he heard Lucas calling her name. Hank could feel Kali breathing slowly and softly as she laid there looking as if she were dead. "Show me you can hear me," he told her, "Kali, please show me a sign." She coughed and groaned. "Kali, we almost got you out of here. It's going to be a few more minutes."

Lucas saw the paramedics bring a backboard out of one ambulance. Bradin walked up to him. The best friends looked at each other and back to their life.

"You're doing great, Kali," Hank told her. Kali could hear and slightly feel what was going on around her. Hank watched as they pulled the roof of the car off of the car followed by the side. He felt Kali grip him as hard as she could realizing how much pain she was in. Then, she released him shirt and the monitor beeped. "Let's go guys!" he yelled when Kali's pulse dropped.

He couldn't stay back anymore. Luca ran up to the backboard where she lay. He stopped when they rose te board and wheeled her to the ambulance.

"What's wrong?" he asked a paramedic that was gathering their equipment.

"She's bleeding heavily. We need to take her to the hospital," he said as he ran off.
