Drabble 24: The Ride Takes Its Toll

With nightfall approaching and seeing Victoria weakening, Violeta shook her head at Mano. She urged Buck to go faster.

Victoria held his arm and looked into his eyes, pleading, "Mano, please, save my baby! Don't let him die! Save him, not me!"

"Sweet sister, we'll be to the doctor soon and you'll both be just fine," he promised.

Praying that would be true, he then rejoiced to see Tucson ahead.

Wind and Doc Plant met them outside the doctor's house and rushed her inside.

Buck sent a telegram, hoping John would receive it:

Victoria in labor in Tucson.

Come soonest.
