*I OWN ONLY PLOT*
Mara wasn't quite clear on what had happened. The last thing she remembered was her mother's scream and her father grabbing her. Her mother was pacing in the waiting area, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Oh, God, I hope she's OK." The desperate woman cried.
The distraught and terrified man took her in his arms. "She'll be fine, Trudy, she's strong. She gets it from you. There, darling, come here."
Trudy sobbed "I can't believe it. My baby's hurt." She was evidently losing the plot.
A doctor walked over. "Excuse me? Are you Mara Rehman's parents?"
"Yes, where is she?" Trudy asked, tearful and scared.
"She's in the surgery."
"Oh, God, how serious is it?" Jasper asked.
"Your daughter's..." The doctor slowly started, unsure of the ground he was treading.
Trudy collapsed. "She's not dead!" She sobbed.
"No, no, not dead. She's really banged up, but she'll get over it. Her injuries aren't as bad as we'd expected, dropping from that height. I expect it was the way you lowered her a little, sir. And ma'am, you gained a few injuries when she landed on you."
"Oh, a bruise or two, that's nothing." Trudy told him. "Anyway, is my little girl OK?"
"She should be, since she had a little less of a drop and a slightly softened landing. Still, though, the two of you have suffered from that."
"So what? I want Mara safe."
"Ma'am, we have to have you examined. The extent of the injuries could possibly reach your organs."
"I don't play the organ." She told him.
He said "Internal organs. The ones that keep you alive."
The couple shared a look.
Coming up...
"Mum! Mum! Please, come here! Mum!"
"I'm here, baby!"
"Oh, God, Mum, it was awful..."
Hope this wasn't too bad. I thought I'd just have a little moment between the adults. Let me know what you think, please, please, please? Black Cat, OUT! :D
