Chapter 16
I'm struggling to get Jack out of the school by myself. I thought I would lose my balance a couple times on the stairs, but we made it down. We reach the door and I feel a small wave of relief. As I open the door we are met by two of the Capeside officers.
"Oh thank heavens," I scream. They immediately rush to our sides. "Please help him, he was shot."
They move to either side of Jack and help him to the nearest squad car. They put Jack in the backseat and I climb in beside him.
"I need your names, so I can inform the command post of the situation." one of the officers says to us, as they pull away from the school.
"I'm Jennifer Lindley and he's Jack McPhee, my Grams is Evelyn Ryan and she's at the Leery's Restaurant, Jack's father should be there too."
"The Leery restaurant is where the command post is set up. Mrs. Ryan and Mr. McPhee will be informed of the situation. Right now we're going to get Jack to the hospital."
The drive only takes a few minutes, but it feels like an eternity, as Jack seems to grow weaker.
