...looks like Vincent and Alex are happy to see each other once again. Poor Catherine, the look on her face when (what it seems like) walks in on Vincent and Catherine...BUT what I would like to point out, Catherine is wearing the same jacket in those pictures as the one she has on during the actual promo. Alex seems pretty upset locked in that room too...wonder what that's about..Let me know what you guys think of those pictures! I LOVE reading about your predictions for what may happen. So yeah, thought I would share, but if you look at those pictures you can make a lot of connections to the promo. Sadly, since I killed off Alex, I can't write about what is happening in some of those pictures but that doesn't mean a flashback here or there can happen again:) ANYWAY, you guys don't read my story to listen to me blabber so here is Chapter 25, thanks for reading you guys are awesome! :D
I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
Chapter 25
Vincent stopped in his tracks a few feet away just to watch what Evan was up to. He saw a car stopped in the middle of the road and in front of it was a big lump. Vincent looked harder and used his senses to determine what the 'lump' actually was. It was a person, and in front of it was a car who had no driver or anyone in it and then there was just Evan leaning down next to the body with the street lights lighting up the scene. 'Did Evan hit somebody?' Vincent thought as he remained still. It took everything he had no to go running out to the scene with his doctor instincts but he knew he couldn't risk being seen especially by Evan. Not after what had just happened.
He remained still only focusing on the body and what Evan was doing when he saw him pull out a phone. Vincent heard Evan complain under his breath. Why would he be complaining if he just hit a person? Wouldn't he be completely flipping out?
"New York City Police Department, what's your emergency?" Vincent heard a woman's voice ask on the other end.
"Clara?" Evan asked recognizing his co-workers voice. "Clara, it's me Evan I'm on Willow Brook Road."
"Evan?" Clara asked confused. "Evan what happened are you okay?" Vincent heard the woman's nervous voice.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just send someone over here will ya? A person got run over and there is no driver. Look's like once the driver hit the person they just got out and ran. The driver door was still open. Just send an ambulance or something I'm not sure is she is going to make it. Look's like a few broken ribs." Evan said examining the body.
Vincent listened for a pulse on the woman lying on the ground in front of the car. She had a pulse but it wasn't strong. In fact it was one of the weakest pulses he ever heard. Even before the whole super-hearing.
"I'm sending over someone now okay? I'm going to stay on the line though. Does she have a pulse?" Clara asked.
Vincent watched from the distance as Evan checked for a pulse.
"Yeah but's it's not strong." Evan said sniffling.
"How did you find her?" Clara asked thinking about the fact is was 2AM. Vincent wondered the same thing.
"I-I-" Evan started. "I was on my way back from uh..." Evan paused.
Vincent knew he was probably heading home after the warehouse and he was thankful Evan didn't tell her where he was.
"I was with some family and I was walking home, since they live right around the corner from me when I saw the car door open and the body lying on the ground." Evan said.
Clara took a minute to respond. "Well, just stay with her okay? She still have a pulse?"
Vincent listened and the woman was still alive but it seemed that a broken rib was against one of her lungs causing it harder for her to breathe. Vincent took a deep breath. He wouldn't allow someone to just die right in front of him. Risk or no risk he knew he had to do something. Time was running out.
"Yeah, she still has a pulse." Evan said.
Vincent took a step forward. One more step and he would be standing under a street light making it clear for Evan to notice he was there.
Evan sighed. "Clara I think she is going..."
"She will make it Evan don't worry the paramedics will be there ASAP." Clara said in a reassuring voice.
Vincent clenched his teeth together knowing that they might not be here soon enough. He lifted is left foot and then his right making his way under the street light. He didn't give a damn if Evan recognized him or whatever. This woman was dying and he could help.
Evan rubbed his hand on the back of his neck. "Clara I think I'll be good. I'll call you if anything happens." he said hanging up the phone. Evan heard feet moving and looked up to face Vincent.
Vincent took another step closer to the woman when Evan shot up. "Look mate, I'm just trying to help..." Evan said nervously as the man in black walked over to him. "Is this your car?" Evan asked pointing to the car. Vincent didn't say anything. "Take it, I promise I wont say anything."
Vincent sighed as he heard Evan's heart racing a mile per minute. "Calm down..." Vincent managed to say. "I'm a doctor, I just wanna help."
Evan was still shaking. Half from the cold, and half from nerves. "D-Doctor?" Evan asked.
Vincent nodded. "Yeah, can I just take a look at her?"
Evan took a step back and Vincent walked towards the dying girl. He bent down and put his hand on her forehead to get a sense of her temperature. It was quite low. Vincent checked her pulse even though he could hear it clear as day but he sure as heck wasn't going to let Evan know that.
"Well?" Evan asked crossing his arms. "Is she going to make it?"
Vincent put a hand on the woman's head and sighed. "Hard to say." Vincent knew she was dying but he wasn't going to let Evan know that. He didn't have the heart to tell Evan that there was a person dying right in front of him. Vincent suddenly jerked his head up looking at the car and then back at Evan. "Is there keys in there?" Vincent asked.
Evan gave Vincent a weird look. "You're gunna steal the car?!"
Vincent stood up and looked back at the woman. "I would rather 'borrow' a car than have her die."
Evan didn't say anything and Vincent walked over to the car while keeping an ear on the woman's beating heart. He looked in the ignition. "Damn it." he said noticing there were no keys. He rubbed his neck and suddenly came up with an idea.
Vincent bent down to pop the hood of the car opened and walked into the front of it.
"What are you going?" Evan asked keeping a hand on the woman's neck checking the pulse.
Vincent didn't respond he just moved some wires around.
Evan looked back at the woman ignoring that fact Vincent ignored him and then jumped at the sound of the starting of a car's engine. He looked back at the car and the headlights were blinding him. "How did you do that?!" Evan asked in amazement.
Vincent once again ignored him and went over to the woman picking her up carefully to make sure he didn't cause any further damage. "Get into the passenger seat, if you want to come." Vincent said carefully placing the woman down in the back of the car.
"But the paramedics are one their way!" Evan said.
"Look man get in the damn car!" Vincent shouted.
Evan could have sworn he saw Vincent's eyes shift colors. His heart skipped a beat thinking about the night Catherine got shot. He's seen the same eyes before. "Wait a second..." Evan said.
Vincent glared and pointed at him trying to keep control of his temper in front of Evan. "Look, you can either get in the damn car, or you can just continue walking home." Vincent snapped making his way to the driver's seat.
"Wait how did you know I was on my way home?" Evan asked confused.
Vincent ignored him and quickly got into the car and buckled his seatbelt. Evan noticed he wasn't going to reply so he decided to let it go and join Vincent on the drive to the hospital.
The whole car ride Vincent kept an ear on the woman's heart beat. Luckily it didn't decrease in it's rate but neither did it increase. Vincent didn't care. As long as she was alive that's all that mattered.
"So, you're a doctor?" Evan asked. He was still shaking a bit. He was in a car with a dying person who got hit by a car and some weird doctor person who he swore he saw his eyes glow, not to mention he just showed up at the scene and it was almost 3:00 AM.
Vincent really hoped JT was still asleep and wont wake up until much later. He was pretty sure that if JT knew he was in a car right now with Evan headed to the hospital with a dying person in the back seat. He was pretty sure JT would just kick the bucket then and there.
Vincent shook his head remembering Evan's question. "Um..yeah." Vincent said trying to make it clear he wasn't interested in talking.
"May I ask what you were doing outside at 2AM?" Evan asked giving Vincent a weird look. Vincent took a turn a bit to quickly for Evan's liking. "Whoa easy there mate."
Vincent didn't take his eyes off the road. "I could ask you the same thing." Vincent said while listening on the woman's heart beat.
"I already told you." Evan said.
They both tensed up a bit when they heard a groan coming back from the seat.
"Go to the back seat." Vincent said while keeping his eyes locked on the road.
"What?!" Evan asked.
"You heard me climb back there. Let her know she's alright." Vincent said taking another turn.
Evan looked back at Vincent. "But you're driving."
"Oh god man just do it! How would you like waking up in some strange car with two guys in the front seat and you were a girl?" Vincent took a deep breath noticing his temper getting the best of him.
Evan nodded and unbuckled his seatbelt and climbed back to the back seat to where the woman was.
Vincent took another deep breath while Evan was still trying to find his way back there. He squinted his eyes when he thought he saw something starting to cross the road. He saw it coming closer and closer and soon recognized it being Alex. Vincent saw her eyes make contact with his and he slammed on the brakes causing Evan to fall on the floor of the car.
"Jesus man!" Evan shouted trying to find his way back to his feet. "What the hell what that for?"
Vincent blinked his eyes and noticed there was absolutely nothing in front of him not. He began to breathe quickly.
Evan found his way back to his feet and made his was over to the woman who began to panic.
"You're alright Ma'am." Evan said talking a seat next to her. "You were hit by a car while crossing the road and I am from the NYPD and that's a doctor." Evan pointed to Vincent who was still panicking on his own.
"We are driving you to a hospital." Evan said reaching to put a hand on the woman but she jumped out of his way and shook her head back and forth quickly and pushed herself against the opposite side of the car right behind Vincent. She looked around franticly.
"It's-It's okay." Evan said trying to comfort the woman but she continued to look petrified. Evan sighed and looked over at Vincent who shook his head and then brought the car up to speed again making there way towards the hospital.
"I don't think she speaks English." Evan said without taking his eyes off of her. "Do you speak English?" Evan asked slowly.
The woman didn't say anything she just began breathing heavily and gripped her side.
"She can't be breathing that heavy, you gotta calm her down." Vincent said making a final turn.
Evan nodded and did the only thing that came to mind. He started demonstrating taking slow deep breaths but the woman was still clueless.
"Not working mate." Evan said.
"Well keep trying..." Vincent said under his breath parking the car in front of the hospital. "Now I need you to bring her in while I find out what to do with this car okay?"
Evan was about to protest but Vincent quickly snapped, "Now!"
With that Evan quickly took the woman and walked her into the hospital. Once Evan was gone Vincent let out a big breath and put his head on the steering wheel. He couldn't believe he hallucinated while driving. He thought he was about to hit Alex. He really needed to figure this thing out. He was lucky Vincent didn't asked that to many questions. He looked at his phone and it was 3:30 AM. He took out his phone and checked for messages, JT didn't call once so he didn't feel he needed to call him considering he was probably still sleeping. However he did need to find out about this car. He opened the glove compartment and searched for any car identification. He saw a wallet and pulled it out. Whoever's car this was the must of been so nervous they just popped out and ran. He looked through the wallet and found an ID. Vincent's eyes grew wide when he saw the name. He kept blinking and shaking his head and biting his tongue to try to see if he was hallucinating. But he wasn't on the card read the name Lafferty Lawson.
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA...BACK IT UP: Lafferty? Wasn't she dead? All the Murifield experiments were ordered to be killed and Vincent just got lucky. Plus I thought her body couldn't handle it? ALSO, Vincent/Evan bonding in kind of a weird awkward way that wasn't really bonding but hey, baby steps!
The scene of Evan in front of car headlights was from the promo.
Lawson is the last name of the girl who played Lafferty (Bianca Lawson) BUT hey I actually made up a character with a name and everything! yay for Clara!
I feel bad for the woman who got hit too. She clearly isn't from America cause she doesn't speak English and she just wakes up in the back seat with two guys driving a car. Uh...CREEPY ALERT! I think I would just scream and just all out panic. But that's just me.
Anyway I am wicked pumped to see how Lafferty is going to end up in this. Let me know what you guys think! :D
