Caught up

Chapter 17

I am sorry for the last chapter again. But you'll find out what happens now.

Phil ran to Sam's lifeless body on the floor, slipped a hand round the back of her neck and lifted her slightly. He lifted her face to his cheek. She was breathing. He checked for a pulse, it was weak.

"Sam can you hear me?" he was surprised at how calm he sounded. "Sam! Please answer me! Sam!" he started to panic when he got no response.

Mickey came to the door and didn't bother to knock as it was already open.

"Phil what happened?"

"I need you to get an ambulance!" he turned his back to Mickey who was frozen to the spot. "Sam can you hear me? Wake up! Wake up!" Debbie heard the shouting and came to the door.

"What's going on?"

"I need an ambulance."

"She's faking it."

"Debbie I need you to ring an ambulance!"

"She's doing it for the attention…she wants the sympathy. That's all."

Phil could hear her breathing getting shallow. He laid her down on the floor and started to undo her blouse.

"Phil what are you doing? She'll go mad."

"Believe me she'll kill me if a don't." he finished undoing her blouse and moved the material so he could see her chest and stomach.

"God what happened?" Mickey gasped.

"She was attacked the other night." He placed his hands on her stomach and pressed gently. It was swollen badly. "Did you ring an ambulance?"

"Yes a minute ago."

"Ok."

Debbie was speechless to begin with and couldn't believe it.

"If she was attacked why didn't she say something? Why didn't she report it? And why is she at work?"

"She reported it to a different station." He replied shortly. "She tried to hide it because she didn't want anyone to know. She didn't want the sympathy. She just wanted to do her job."

"I didn't know."

"Obviously not."

"Phil the paramedics are here." Mickey reappeared at the door. "Through here!" he shouted.

The paramedics came through and pulled Phil away from her.

"What's her name?" a young female asked.

"Sam… Samantha Nixon." He stuttered.

"Samantha can you hear me?" she shone a torch in her eyes and signalled for the stretcher. With the help of two male paramedics she was lifted onto the stretcher and secured.

Sam was wheeled from the station where a crowd had gathered outside to see what was going on.

"Phil what's happened?" Jack stepped out of an unmarked car.

"Sa… erm… DI Nixon collapsed."

"Ok send someone down to the hospital and…"

"Actually Gov…" he interrupted. "I'd like to go with her to the hospital."

"I thought she hated you."

"She'll understand."

"Well if you really want to… I'll send someone down later."

"Ok Gov." Phil got in the ambulance beside Sam and once the door was closed, he took hold of her hand and whispered soothingly to her, mostly to convince himself. "Shh… you're going to be ok. You're going to be fine. Everything's going to be alright. and once the door was closed, he took hold of her hand and whispered soothingly to her, mostly to convince himself. "Shh… you're going to be ok. You're going to be fine. Everything's going to be alright. You're strong you'll make it through this."

When they reached the hospital she was still unconscious as they wheeled her away to run tests, leaving Phil pacing the room too nervous to sit down, tears forming in his eyes.
