Ren went to help Kyoko. It took all he had just to get over to her. Kyoko looked so helpless as she was lying there like that. Ren tried to open the car door, but it wouldn't open. His heart was going a mile a minute. It was all the adrenaline in his veins talking, but he tried again to open the door, pulling with all his might. The car door wouldn't budge at all, but that only made him try that much harder.
Just then a sudden tap on the shoulder brought Ren back to reality. "Sir," the officer said, "We need you to back away from the car, I know that you want to help her, but the best way to do that is to stand aside. Our men have the equipment to get her out as safely as possible."
Ren was started by the police officer. He didn't even hear the sirens as they were coming. He looked around and noticed that it wasn't just the police; it was the fire department and the ambulance as well. "How long was I trying to get her out," he said to himself.
"Ten minutes."
Ren jumped, what was it with people and surprising him today? "Who are you, and was it really that long," he asked.
"My name is Felipe, and yes you were going at the door for a long time. I'm gonna say this now, I hope that being up front about this will make up for maybe a tenth of what I did… I know that it won't but, I'm sorry," he said with a sad and worried look on his face.
"Were you the one that hit me," Ren asked. If this was the guy that hit him and caused Kyoko to get so badly hurt, he was in for it. His fists were starting to shake at his sides. Not even being a good actor was helping control his anger this time.
"Ye…" Felipe started to say, but just then there was a loud sound that got startled both him and Ren. The Firefighters were using some kind of tools to rip open the car door. (Come on now, you have to love the jaws of life! Sorry, but I had to say it!)
Ren watched and if possible got even more pail, as they used that thing to rip open the car door. Once they started they got the door off very quickly. Then he watched in horror as they got her out of the car, onto some kind of board, there were thing on her head and a collar around her neck. He watched them put all kinds of straps on her and then bring her over to the stretcher.
Then, almost as if Ren forgot about the guy who hit him, he made his way over to Kyoko. Once he got there he saw the EMT's putting something around her arm, then her head. "Is she going to be alright," he asked trying to see what was going on.
"Sir she is hurt very badly. We are doing the best we can to help her, but she needs medical attention quickly. Were you the driver in the car that was hit," a spare EMT came over and asked.
"Yes I was, I want to go with her," Ren said, although the look on his face told the guy he was talking to that it wasn't a statement that he could say no to.
"As long as you understand that you have to sit upfront on the way, what's your name and once we get there you can give up her information as well," the guy said getting more nervous just looking at the look Ren had on his face.
"It's Ren Tsuruga."
The EMT got a shocked expression on his face, but told Ren to get into the ambulance.
