Chapter 15
No Pulse
Dr. Javier Gomez leaned against the wall outside of the hospital; he was on his break and decided to grab a quick smoke. He knew the health risk of smoking but some habits he could not break he had been smoking since he was twelve. Today was an ordinary day, far from stressful, the hospital beds were occupied by a few overly sunburn tourists and dehydrated patients, and he was now smoking only out of boredom. He was putting out his cigarette when he noticed a pick up truck whipping up to the emergency room he raced over to see what the hurry was. The doors opened and twin girls, he presumed American, jumped out their outfits were covered in blood, the look on their faces was one of pure horror.
"Help us por favor!" They cried out half in English half in Spanish, Dr. Gomez had studied medicine in California and spoke English fluently.
"What happened?" He asked he looked at the girls and they turned and pointed into the truck. A man, he presumed Mexican, was struggling trying to remove two adults who were slumped over.
"Our parents, they have been shot." One of the twins cried, Dr. Gomez turned back to an orderly who had been smoking not far from him.
"Go inside, get two gurneys and some help!" He ordered in Spanish, the orderly rushed to obey. Dr. Gomez leaned in to check. "I'm Dr. Javier Gomez I am a surgeon." He introduced himself to the man in Spanish and then repeated the introduction in English.
"I'm First Sergeant Victor Galindez, I'm an American Marine." Spoke up the driver, "This is Captain Harmon Rabb and Colonel Sarah Mackenzie Rabb they've been shot, I'm not sure how many times or where." He pointed at the twins. "These two are their daughters." Dr. Gomez nodded but his attention was on the Colonel and Captain. He checked for a pulse on the captain first, at that moment the orderly returned with a nurse by his side and a gurney.
"He has a slight pulse, we need to get him to the OR prep him for surgery." He ordered in Spanish as the orderly assisted him in removing the captain from the truck and placing him on the gurney, the nurse and orderly pushed the gurney towards the ER door where Dr. Rodriguez was waiting. He pulled the colonel towards him and placed her on the gurney, he checked for a pulse, no pulse, he checked again. He looked up into the eyes of the twin girls their eyes full of question and hope. "I'm sorry there is no pulse." The twins started to shake.
"No there has to be a way to save her, she can't be dead she can't die!" They cried holding on to each other.
"I'm sorry…"
"No!" The girls interrupted. "She saved our lives you cant let her die, she has to live she just has too!" Dr. Gomez looked at the hope in their eyes; he jumped on the gurney and began CPR.
"Let's go, we have to move fast now!" He ordered in Spanish, the team worked to push the gurney into the ER as Dr. Gomez tried to resuscitate the colonel.
Mac was back in the desert, back to where it all began her first mission with Harm. She looked around she was alone in the desert, she never believed she would be back here. It turned to night in the blink of an eye, and the desert night sky was littered with stars and constellations and for a moment she was memorized by the sheer beauty and endless possibilities of endless space. Her thoughts were no longer distracted by the sky they then drifted back to her daughters and Harm she began looking for them in a panic.
"Harm? Natalie? Lucy?" She called looking all around for any sign of her family, anyone, but there was no one she was alone in the desert. "Where am I?" Suddenly there was a familiar voice behind her.
"You're dead."
I have the next chapter ready I will post it soon, I will love some reviews though, and the episode is almost over!
