Chapter 14 *Sid's P.O.V.*
"Sid, do you think we should check on Sue? I mean, I don't feel comfortable leaving her alone . . ." Tobey admitted to me as we biked to Wu's. I shrugged.
"I don't know, I wasn't too happy about it either, but I trust Laura. Don't you?" I asked him.
"No, not really. Why don't we just go check on her?" he pleaded, his eyes seeming to twinkle with plea.
I sighed with annoyance. "Fine, but why?"
"It's just that, Sue's kidnapper is still out there." he said, and that was all I needed to agree with him. I nodded, and I pulled out my phone and found Sue's location on the GPS.
"I found her. She's at the park . . . But it doesn't look like she's moving . . ." I said nervously, and Tobey said,
"Well, let's go find her! She could be in trouble!"
I nodded, and we sped down the streets to the park.
~Three Delivery~
When we reached the park, we saw Sue's GPS signal on the bike path, and bolted down the path. Hearing the terrified screams of people, and kids screaming and crying made me bike just as fast as I did on the day I found Sue in the basement and went to go get help for her.
We jumped off our bikes and pushed past the crowd off people, and gasped when we saw Sue fall to the ground hard, and the evil laughter of a man! I looked at Sue's attacker, and saw a familiar face. When I looked closer, I saw it was the man who kidnapped Sue!
Overwhelmed with anger and my emotions, I screamed, "Sue!" and charged at the man. He looked up, and pulled out a gun, and pointed it at Sue! I growled and froze in place, and nervously looked at Sue, who hadn't moved yet.
The people who surrounded us screamed with terror and bolted away from us, thank god. Now we could fight this man without other innocent people getting hurt.
"I'll kill her. I'll kill her with one shot. She's likely dead already, I hit her pretty hard in the head, chest, and her side. Probably in a lot of pain." he said. "Poor girl . . ." he said with fake concern.
This made me so furious, so angry, that I screamed with all my might, "Kai Shrey La!" and a powerful stream of water shot from my hands, and knocked Spencer off his feet. But he pulled the trigger of the gun as he fell, and a blast of fire and a bright light erupted from the gun. Instinctively, Tobey and I ducked our heads, and I felt a quick breeze above my head, and I suspected that the bullet just missed me.
Growling, I charged at the man just as he was getting up, and I knocked him back down. He grunted when he hit the ground, and I punched him in the face, and his head snapped back. His nose started to bleed, and I grabbed his collar and pulled him close to my face.
Glaring at him, I threatened in the lowest, scariest voice I could muster, "if you ever even DARE come near Sue, Tobey, Nana, or anyone of my family members again, I'll beat you into a bloody pulp, you heartless monster . . ."
He merely grinned, then said simply, "I've done all I neeeded to do for now . . . Now I bid you farewell . . . Hay Tey Cho . . ." and just like last time, he disappeared in a flash of bright light, and I fell to the ground. Without hesitation, I ran to Sue, and found Tobey leaning over her, carefully checking her over for any obvious injuries.
"Tob, how bad is she hurt?" I asked as I knelt down next to him. He looked at me with sad and worried eyes.
"There's some bad bruises on her chest, her side, and on her head. I think he cracked her skull or something. Look, right here," he pointed to a spot on the side of her head and continued, "there's an indent right there. I don't know how deep it is, but it's not swelling yet, maybe just a little bit. But it looks bad."
He sighed, then I saw what he was talking about. There was a small hole in her head, and I could see it starting to swell. Then I noticed her breathing, it was very, very shallow, and she wasn't moving at all. This made me even more nervous.
"Her breathing is shallow." I said to Tobey, and he nodded.
"Yeah, I know that's not good." and as he said that, I heard the sound of blaring sirens coming in our directions. I thought that maybe one of the people who saw what happened must have called an ambulance.
" . . . elp . . . lease . . . mph . . . ugh . . ." Sue mumbled, and she started to shiver like she was cold. I gently touched her, and whispered in her ear softly,
"Shh . . . It's okay Sue . . . Stay still, your hurt . . . Try not to move . . . Your safe now . . ."
Sue's eyes opened, and they expressed a lot of pain in them. She then said weakly, "S-id . . . To-bey . . . ?"
I nodded and told her, "yeah, we're here. You got hit in the head, so just lay still for a while."
"Do . . . don't lea . . . leave me . . . please . . . Bro?" she moaned with the pain, and shut her eyes. I was glad we were on the soft grass and not the hard sidewalk, or else she would be in a lot more discomfort.
"I won't." I told her, then I decided to ask her some questions to see if she was badly hurt in the head.
"Okay, what is your name?"
"Su-Sue Yi . . ." she moaned quietly, and gritted her teeth from pain.
"Alright, do you know where you are?"
"Ch-Chung Li pa-park . . . On the b-bike path . . ."
"Just hang in there, your doing good . . . What day is it today?"
"Mon-Monday . . ."
"What's today's date?"
"Mon-Monday . . . Nov-vember 30th . . ."
"Alright Sue . . . Just hang in there a little longer . . ." and after I said that, the ambulance pulled up next to us. Two paramedics rushed out, and pushed me and Tobey out of the way so they would have space to work. The crowds that had run away were now starting to come back to watch them work. Their eyes expressed worry and sadness for Sue.
The first paramedic, a male in his late twenties, started opening cases, while another paramedic, a female a couple of years older than the male, was examining Sue. She said nervously,
"Her head and chest are swelling, and bruising badly. Looks like she suffered some head trauma." then she looked at us and asked, "what happened? How did she get these injuries?"
Truth was, we didn't know, but someone in the crowd spoke up. "Um . . . She was just riding her bike on the bike path, then this man just snuck up on her and hit her in the chest with a metal baseball bat. She fell off her bike, and he hit her in the side. And when she stood up, he hit her full force in the head. She fell down, and she didn't move."
The paramedic nodded, then said, "I'm just worried about her head and chest. If she was hit hard enough, she might have fractured her skull and ribs. Steve, get me a stretcher and a neck brace!"
Steve nodded and pulled out a stretcher and a brace from the ambulance. He handed her the brace, and when Sue saw it, she whined loudly and started to shake again. I whispered to her gently in her ear, and told her,
"Shh Sue, it's okay, let them help you, their not going to hurt you. I promise." I smiled at her and ran my fingers through her hair, and saw her smiling slightly and looking at me.
The paramedic smiled and slowly wrapped the brace around her neck and carefully rolled her onto her back and on the stretcher. Sue looked around nervously, and she whined softly. Tobey and I stood up when the paramedics loaded the stretcher inside the ambulance, and we followed them inside.
Sue was still obviously nervous, and she shivered on the stretcher. I climbed in next to her, and held her hand tightly. Sue looked at me without moving her head, and asked,
"Why am I 'oing to the h'spital . . . ?" she was still slurring her words badly, and I knew that wasn't good. I sighed, and squeezed her hands tightly.
"Sue, you got hit pretty hard in the head, they just want to make sure your okay." I told her softly, and she smiled gently. Steve then got on the other side of her and put a small clear tube flowing with oxygen under her nose and behind her ears. Sue shut her eyes when the ambulance started moving.
Tobey and I held her hand tightly, but when we ran over a pothole in the road, Sue whimpered and started complaining of shooting pain in her head. The female paramedic, who I overheard was called Jeanette, said to her, "Calm down sweetie, it's okay."
But when we hit another pothole, Sue whined and started to cry loudly. I called her name sweetly, and held her hand tightly trying to reassure her. She looked at me, and tried to calm down, but she was still crying. I then whispered to Tobey quietly,
"Call Nana." he nodded, and pulled out his phone. Sue saw what he was doing, and whined, but I started to gently stoke her raven black hair, desperate to calm her down. Sue looked right into my eyes, and shut her eyes to relax her muscles until we got to the hospital.
