Rescue Special Ops
CHAPTER TWO:
"I've got a pulse" Lara shouted relieved. Dean sighed as he rubbed his brother's arm; they loaded him into the ambulance. Dean sat in the back, and wouldn't let his eyes of his little brother. Why do you always get yourself into this situations.
"Heidi Wilson aged 28, MVA" One paramedic said as they whisked Heidi through the E.D, pulling into a cubicle. The doctors and nurses gathering around Heidi's side, one checking her breathing, one checked her pupils, one was feeling her stomach, nurses were getting IV's into her, while one rushed an ultra sound into the room. Jordan was sitting by her side, stressing out. A few minutes later, Heidi began to slowly open he eyes, squinting at the bright lights that hurt her eyes, she let out a small moan as she woke, catching the attention of the nurse that was taking blood and to Jordan who was sitting with his head in his hands.
"Hey, you're in hospital there was an accident" The nurse spoke gently as she rubbed Heidi's shoulder for comfort. Jordan came closer to her side, placing his head to hers.
"What?..Chase… Jordan where's Chase?" Heidi began to panic, and starting crying, trying to get out of bed, she was held back by Jordan, who held her tight
"His seriously hurt, he was still in the car when we left. He'll be fine Heidi his strong" Jordan tried to comfort her as she was crying; he rubbed her head and sat on her bed next to her.
"It's my entire fault. What if he won't be okay, what If I've hurt him" Heidi began to come speechless, and thoughts overwhelmed her head. Her hands were shaking as the tears rolled down her cheek. Jordan pulled her in close and held her protected.
Shortly later
"Chase Gallagher, 25 year old male MVA" A paramedic shouted through the E.D as they rushed Chase through. Heidi and Jordan heard as well. Heidi jumped up and started shouting for Chase, Jordan tried to calm Heidi down, but she wouldn't listen and insisted that she gets up and checks on Chase.
"I'm sorry, but you can't leave your bed. I can go and check how your friend is going" The nurse gently spoke
"Please, please. Jordan go see how he is" Heidi cried as she became more and more worried.
"okay, I will" Jordan kissed Heidi on the forehead and walked out of her cubicle. He walked over to where he saw Dean sitting; he walked up to him, seeing Chase motionless on the bed, with 5-6 doctors and nurses around him. Jordan looked at Dean and began to speak "Dean". Dean looked up and glared at Jordan. "How's Chase" Jordan asked coming closer
"Critical" Dean muttered, not looking at Jordan when he said it. He moved closer to Chase as one doctor moved out of the way.
"We need to get X-RAYS" One doctor said, and with that Chase was getting rolled out of the cubicle, Dean followed closely but was stopped by a nurse who told him that he couldn't come with Chase when he got X-RAYS. Dean walked back to the cubicle, and passed Heidi's cubicle along the way, he stopped outside peering in, keeping his mouth shut till she finally looked up
"DEAN!" She shouted "How's Chase?" Heidi nervously asked trying to sit up; she groaned as she sat up, her ribs were killing her.
"You right babe?" Jordan asked running to her side and helping her sit up
"What the hell happened out there?" Dean asked shouting, giving Heidi a fright. She sat there starring at Dean for a while unresponsive "I swear to god, I'm holding you responsible for what's happened, you could have killed him…Oh wait he did die!.. We got him back eventually"
Heidi's eyes filled with tears as the words spat out of Dean's mouth "I'm sorry Dean" Heidi said crying into Jordan's chest.
"It's not Heidi's fault" Jordan snarled back at Dean giving him an unpleasant look. Lara came running up to her cubicle seeing Heidi buried in Jordan's chest.
"Is everyone okay? Dean how's Chase?" An out of breath Lara said as she moved beside Heidi, placing her hand on Heidi's back and started to rub it
"Getting X-RAYS, he has been bleeding, its stabilized for the moment, there not to happy though. Might need surgery" Dean sighed as he tried to keep it together for him and Chase. Lara moved back to Dean placing her body against his, as she pulled away she smiled giving him some ease
"He will be okay Dean. His a Gallagher, his strong, you know his always getting into trouble and injuring himself, he'll be fine Dean. Just give him some time, he'll wake up when he feels safe" Lara said trying to ease Dean's concern and nerves. She slowly grabbed his arm and led him out of Heidi's cubicle and into Chase's as they waited for him to return
"I don't know this time Lara. His never been this critical" Dean said as he rubbed his head "Even when he was a teenager he got into some serious trouble drinking but never this bad" he sat down on the chair that was sitting beside Chase's bed. Lara came and kneeled beside Dean. A few minutes later they started to wheel Chase back into his cubicle, the nurse handed, his X-RAYS to the doctor, he sighed as he studied them "What's wrong?" Dean jumped up to Chase's side noticing the unpleasant face of the doctor.
"Broken shoulder, fractured wrist. 2 cracked ribs, and his bleeding is starting again" The doctor sighed as he felt Chase's stomach. "His going to need surgery"
"Shit" Dean mumbled as he rubbed his brother's forehead, Lara was standing beside Dean as she heard the news, her arm gradually made its way around the back of Dean. "Is he going to be okay?" Dean asked concerned as he watched his little brother
"After the surgery, he should be fine. His unconsciousness could last for a few days" The doctor said as he scrambled notes onto the charts. He walked out and got an O.R booked and ready for Chase. Walking back in 15 minutes later with nurses, they prepped Chase and rushed him up to the Operating theatre. A nurse led Dean and Lara were to wait.
"I need to call Dad" Dean said pacing Chase's room
"Do you want me to call him for you?" Lara asked softly and gently
"No, I better call him" Dean said as he pulled out his phone, his hands shaking. "I've never been so worried about my brother in my whole life" He began to dial his father's number and listened to the dial tone, Come on Dad, pick up. Pick up
"Hello?" The Gallagher boy's dad Shane said
"Dad, its Dean… There's been a bad accident, Chase….his ..his in hospital" Dean stumbled to say into the phone
"What? Dean. What's going on, his he okay?" Shane asked panicking
"I don't know Dad, his going into surgery. His got internal bleeding and a few breaks, but his still unconscious, you need to get here urgently"
"Okay son. I'll be there in 15" The boy's father said before hanging up and racing out the door. Dean sat pondering as he waited for his father to arrive. Around 15 minutes later, he came running into the room, first noticing Chase not in there, the second noticing his oldest son sitting against the wall glaring straight through the other.
"Dean?" Shane asked
"His still in theatre, won't be out for another few hours" Dean said as he took a seat on the chair that was beside his fathers
A few hours later
"Hey babe, how you feeling?" Jordan asked as he rubbed Heidi's cheek, looking at her with love and concern
"It's all my fault, everything's always my fault" Heidi mumbled, Jordan became even more worried, he sat up beside her and pulled her in close to his body, giving her a kiss on her forehead
"It's not your fault beautiful, it was that asshole who cut you off" Jordan spoke softly trying to ease her concerns
Heidi started to cry again, she started shouting for Jordan to leave her alone, he would leave her side "Leave me alone Jordan"
"I'm not leaving you..You need me" Jordan said wrapping his arms tighter around her body
"PISS OFF JORDAN! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Heidi screamed at the top of her lungs, frightening Jordan, he stormed out. Lara had walked in at the same time, she saw how Heidi was reacting and decided to see if she could help Heidi out, she sat on the side of Heidi's bed and placed her hand over hers. Lara let out a smile, but Heidi didn't want her to be there, she didn't want anyone she shouted for Lara to leave her alone aswell, Lara sighed and got up and left the hospital, heading back to the HQ.
(…..)
Two nurses wheeled Chase back into his room, his body covered with badages and gauzes. Shane sighed "Shit Chase, what'd you do to yourself?"
"He was with one of the other rescue members, she got out of it fine, she was driving. Last time I allow her to drive the patrol car" Dean snarled as he sat beside his brother. As time passed, Vince and Michelle had come to see how him and Heidi were doing.
Vince softly opened up the curtains around Heidi's cubicle, "I wouldn't go in there if I was you" A young female voice came behind Vince
"Excuse me?" Vince asked raising his eyebrow and looking in disbelief
"I was here earlier, she snapped at a young man and lady with her, she was screaming for them to leave her alone. She's pretty shaken up from the crash - " The nurse said
"Thanks" Michelle said cutting her off and stepping into Heidi's cubicle, Vince followed closely behind, shutting the curtains as he walked through. Michelle went to the side of Heidi's bed where she was lying, tears fell from her eyes "Heidi, you okay?" Michelle spoke as she rubbed Heidi's head
"Leave me alone" Heidi's voice blared through the loud sobs
"Heidi-Ho. Come on, you don't have to be alone" Vince replied softly as he bent down and looked into Heidi's eyes
"Leave..me alone" She sobbed pulling the blanket up and over her face. Vince gave Michelle a stern look and brushed his hand towards the door, ushering her out. He closed the curtains behind him.
"She's going to be like this for weeks" Michelle sighed as they walked to the elevator
"I know, I'm worried about her mental state now" Vince added walking into the lift. They arrived up at Chase's room, Dean explained how he was doing, and Michelle and Vince stayed with Dean and Shane for a while.
(…..)
A few days later
"Heidi-ho, your with Dean. Jordan your with Lara" Vince ordered as he handed out co-ordinates for the rescue. Dean shot Vince a stern look then rolled his eyes towards Heidi
"I'm not working with her" Dean snarled as he watched Heidi move her desk and sit down "Get up"
Heidi wiped the tears from her eyes, as she got up and stood next to him
"Get a move on Deano, and your with Heidi, just deal with it you two. It is not Heidi's fault that Chase is in hospital" Vince shouted as his mood turned sour for the day.
"Chase was perfectly fine, Heidi's the one that stuffed up the previous rescue, Chase was just trying to be a friend and apologize for yelling at her Heidi is the one who flew through the intersection" Dean shouted as he walked down the stairs leading for the trucks "Hurry the hell up Heidi" .He shouted before slamming the patrol car door shut. Vince pulled Lara to the side and told her to look out for both Dean and Heidi today.
Heidi jumped into the back seat of the patrol car; Dean shot her a look "You seriously can't even sit up front? Grow up Heidi and face your consequences" Heidi wouldn't budge and just sat slumped in the back seat "Fine, sit there then" Dean huffed, and with that he drove in silence to the rescue. When they arrived Dean got out first heading for the back of the truck, he peered in at Heidi who was staring out the front window, and she was looking at the MVA they got called out too. Dean popped his head through the window "Get a move on Heidi!" He shouted making Heidi jump.
She pulled herself out of the car and walked around the back, picking up a medical bag she made her way over to were Dean was waiting for her. He ushered her along faster. They bent down to a teenage girl that was lying on the floor unconscious.
"Can you hear me?" Dean asked the young girl as she lay motionless. Heidi just sat there on her knees, Dean looked up at Heidi and glared at her "Get a move on, what are you doing just sitting there, give her some oxygen" Dean shouted making her get a move on. She slowly got the medical equipment out that she needed and placed it on the teenager. Heidi still was anywhere but the rescue, thoughts and images kept rolling around in her mind. "Leave" Dean spoke as he glared at Heidi
"What?" Heidi said breaking out of her silence
"Leave now, your useless her, no help. Just go, walk back to HQ, or get a taxi. We don't need you here. Just leave" Dean's voice frightening Heidi. She carefully backed up and ran in the opposite direction, Jordan's focus turning to Heidi, Lara quickly snapped him out of it, and told him to focus on the job, will get Heidi later.
(…..)
Walking back into the station, Jordan ran up the stairs, hoping to see Heidi sitting at her table, he sighed and shook his head as his vision didn't see Heidi. Michelle popped out of her office and made her way to Jordan
"Where's Heidi? Cleaning the ropes or something?" Michelle asked as she photocopied a few documents, for her meeting
"No, isn't she here? Dean told her to leave the rescue, she wasn't doing anything, she kept stuffing up treatments" Jordan asked Michelle worried.
"No, she's not" Michelle sighed as she finished photocopying her documents. "Try and call her , see If she'll answer" Jordan quickly managed to get his phone out of his pocket, and started to dial Heidi's number. Hearing the dial tone made Jordan worry even more. Thoughts rumbled through his head as to where she could me. Where are you Heid… His eyes lit up; as he thought of the only place she must be the hospital.
Heidi was sitting beside Chase at the hospital, she pulled her bag up off the floor and pulled out a bottle of medication, she pulled out two and slipped them into her mouth, taking a large drink of water and swallowing the tablets. She put her head on Chase's bed and began to try and sleep. As she shut her eyes, she could feel herself back in the car, she could hear her and Chase's fight reply over and over again in her head. The sound of Chase's voice shout about a car, then bright lights and a large bang, then pure blackness. She started squirming and tossing, shouting out Chase's name. Her screams filled the ward room floor. A doctor came racing in hearing the screams, just as Chase's monitor began to beep rapidly. Heidi could hear the fast and loud beeps, and the vision of Chase lying on the ground. The doctor began to gently wake her up as another monitored Chase. Heidi opened her eyes to find a room full of people, and Chase shaking violently.
"CHASE" Heidi screamed, and she threw her arms around crashing and banging medical equipment. She began to cry more hysterically.
"Ma'am. You have to step outside, we need to induce a coma" A doctor said as he tried to grip Heidi and pull her out of the room. Heidi lifted her legs up making it harder for the doctor to move her, she started hitting the doctor viciously.
"Chase….ple…ase Chase. Wake up for me. Chase!..." Heidi cried as the doctor pulled her out of the room. He quickly shut the door on her face, locking it so she couldn't re-enter until her was stabilized. Heidi leant against the wall, and followed it down. She buried her head between her knees, and reached for her bag, pulling out two more tablets and taking them. The doctors stepped out 15 minutes later.
"We've had to put him into an induced coma, he will wake up in the next few days" The doctor said as softly as he could. He walked over to the nurses' station and told the nurses to call up Chase's next of kin, who was Dean and explain what has happened.
Dean's phone vibrated in his pocket, he picked it up not recognizing the number
"Hello?" Dean asked nervously
"Hi, its nurse Sharny, from the hospital. Your brother Cha-" Sharny was saying before being cut off by Dean
"What about him is he okay?" Dean's voice panicked as he sat upright in his chair
"Your brother had a seizure, we had to put in into an induced coma" The nurse said calmly and re-assuring
"I'll be there in 15" Dean's voice trembled as he lunged out of his chair and down the stairs to his car that was parked out the front, not telling anyone as he sped off down the street. He arrived at Chase's room and saw Heidi sitting out the front lying down crying. He glared down "What the hell are you doing here"
Heidi's bottom lip trembled "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for Chase to get hurt. I should have been the one to have gotten hurt. I should be dead"
"What are you talking about?" Dean asked worriedly, he peered into Chases window and saw he was still breathing and alive "Save your sob story for someone else, and don't be stupid about being dead" he snarled leaving Heidi sitting on the ground outside the room. He sat beside Chase and looked at all the tubes around his body "Come on Chase, your stronger than this"
