Ambulance Chapter 3
Jim made heath and his son push the trolley out to the ambulance, once they were at the ambulance dean and Jim climbed in the back with Helen, whilst heath climbed into the driver's seat on the orders of Jim who kept the gun at the side of his head the whole time that they were travelling, even though in his head he was thinking about his partner who lay on the living room floor of that deranged man's house beaten and shot.
What Jim and heath didn't know is that the nosey neighbours from next door clocked the three men pushing the trolley to the ambulance but the lovely nosey neighbours where wondering where the blonde paramedic was, after the ambulance drove off with its lights on the lady dialled triple ooo and called the police about her suspicions.
the police arrived at the address in no time, and pc Saunders and his partner walked into the house where the door was left wide open, they wander through the house searching for anything out of place as they walk into one room they find a small heroin factory built in the garage possibly where Jim made the drugs and dealt them to the street kids, Pete walks into the living room and he is shocked at the person lay on the floor groaning in pain, it was cate he knelt down next to her checking her out, then his partner calls for back up and an ambulance.
"Cate can you hear me, it Pc Saunders help is on its way" says Pete trying to wake cate up.
"Uhhh Pete, heath has been kidnapped along with the patient and her son the husband has them held hostage in the ambulance, he is also the bastard that is supplying the kids the drugs" croaks cate breathing through the pain.
"Ok cate you rest help is on its way" answers Pete being reassuring.

The ED was busy for a Tuesday morning and like everyone else Lorraine and her junior colleague Bree were also busy, they stopped at the nurses station filling out the relevant paperwork after the transferred the recent patient which happened to be a young lad of sixteen who came in with a suspected drug overdose, and they happen to see a few of the doctors and nurses who were working today.
"How has your morning been" asks Zoe?
"Hectic that lad is the third case today of drug overdose" says Lorraine.
"Well we have informed the police" answers Zoe.
"Is it me or is there someone out there dealing drugs and trying to kill kids" asks Bree?
"Don't know but we will find out soon we found the baggies on all three of our current patients and the lab are testing the drugs, and whatever the results they will pass them straight onto the police" explains Zoe.
"Well I hope they string the person or persons responsible for creating the drugs" answers Lorraine.
"Hey what you lot gossiping about" asks Gabrielle walking to the nurse's station placing her drugs tray on the counter top.
"We were talking about our current patients and the drugs problem that is plaguing our streets at the moment" says Zoe.
"Well before our next call out maybe we can get a spot of lunch" says Lorraine not before her radio sounds.
"What did you say about lunch" says Bree.
"Car 928 is you clear for a call out" asks Operations through the radio.
"Operations this is car 928 we are clear for a callout" answers Lorraine responding through the radio.
"Great can you respond to a call out on Franklyn road police need ambulance assistance over" says Operations.
"Received "answers Lorraine.
"Hey wasn't there a call out there this morning" asks Bree remembering hearing the same address earlier in the morning.
"Yeah but am sure cate and heath dealt with that call" says Lorraine?

"Err about 2 hours ago" answers Lorraine looking to her watch on her wrist.

Frankly road
Bree and Lorraine drive onto Franklyn road when they get onto the actual street they have to weave in and out of the police cars and news vans parked outside the house, as they pull to the side of the road just outside of the lovely family home, or what was a lovely home, Lorraine gets out of the ambulance along with Bree when all of a sudden they are met by Pc Pete Saunders who walks over to them and greets them before they find out from someone else he starts to explain the problem.
"Hey Pete can I ask what is going on here" asks Lorraine pointing to the circus gathering outside the suspected house.
"You not heard" asks Pete?
"Nope all we know is that the police need assistance, but I do know that this house had a call out to it this morning and it was heath and cate" explains Lorraine.
"Oh so ambulance operations didn't tell you the problem, well I will get you up to speed, cate and heath dealt with a call out at this address, well something went wrong and the neighbour next door got a bit suspicious" explains Pete.
"So what went on and where are cate and heath and the patients" asks Lorraine?
"the neighbour called the police when she noticed something, the ambulance arrived she seen cate and heath enter the house, but when they exited she spotted something odd so she called us, when heath left the house he left with two other males and a red haired lady on the trolley, and the neighbours also tells us that heath and the young lad was a bit scared when they left the house" explains Pete talking well walking to the house.
"So what happened to cate" asks Bree.
"we got here and found her like this, before we called for backup she told us that heath and the son have been kidnapped by the drug dealer father" explains Pete walking into the house and then into the living room to where cate lay on the floor.
Lorraine and Bree walk into the living room to find cate lay on the floor with her face pouring with blood, and a wound to her right hip, they get to work on their colleague.
"Cate, hey don't worry you're ok me and Bree are here to help" says Lorraine getting onto the floor next to cate and she holds her hand reassuring her as she gets to work.
"Bree get the spinal board and the oxygen and then get on to ambulance control and tell them what we know so far" orders Lorraine.
"Yeah sure" says Bree getting up from the floor and heads off to get the equipment she needed from the truck.
Bree went to the ambulance to get the equipment leaving Lorraine comforting an injured cate, soon she returns to the living room only to find cate in a distressed state with Lorraine trying to calm her down.
"Here is the stuff but I haven't called ambulance control yet, so how is she so far" asks Bree?
"I don't know I am concerned for her well-being, she is distressed and there is something else she keeps holding her stomach" says Lorraine.
"Is she awake and alert" asks Bree?
"Don't know let's try and rouse her, and calm her down because her blood pressure keeps spiking" answers Lorraine.
"Cate can you hear me, come on open your eyes for me" says Lorraine shaking cate to wake up.
"Uhhhh, what happened, ahhh "groans cate holding her side when she moves to get comfortable.
"hey whoa easy their love, you have injuries to your ribs and cuts and bruises to your face, and also you have a wound to your hip, so I need you to calm down and help us and tell us where you have pain" asks Lorraine reassuring cate.
"My head, hip hurts and it's hard to breathe" answers Cate moving the mask from her face.
"Ok well I am going to administer some morphine for the pain, and it will help you to relax and then I am going to get you onto the spinal board" explains Lorraine.
"No morphine please" answers cate.
"Hey cate you are in pain and we need to move you from here to the ambulance and movement will cause pain, unless you have a reason why you don't want morphine then tell us and we could help" says Bree.
"Fine I am pregnant, I found out the other day, only heath knew" answers Cate.
"Ok well congratulations but I need you to do me a favour and help us by calming down and cooperate, and I will give you some paracetamol to make you comfortable for the ride to the hospital" explains Lorraine trying to reason with her friend.
"Fine but please tell me if you hear anything about heath he is my partner" says Cate.
"Sure, now let me and Bree do all the work, and let us know if it gets too much for you" says Lorraine.
"Fine" answers Cate.
Lorraine and Bree move cate onto the spinal board with the help of Pete the friendly police officer, once she is secured to the board and the trolley they move her to the ambulance and soon they were on the way to hospital.
