Chapter 26: A Thousand Paper Cranes
"Holy shit…" Will mumbles under his breath.
He was horrified when he saw the hero of his family was hit by a silver car. The captain of N.E.S.T could only watch as the blonde girl fell to the ground, hitting her head in the process. He swore that he heard the loudest thud he ever heard, even though the road was filled with busy people and noises. He quickly ran towards her with Epps and the Autobots tailing behind him.
"Hey, HEY!" Sam yelled to the driver as the driver began to drive away from the scene. "ASSHOLE! Get back here you PUNK ASS!" He gave the driver the finger as he cussed.
"Sam!" Mikaela hissed as she grabbed Sam's arm. "That doesn't matter now! We need to call the ambulance! A.S.A.P!" She was pleaded with tears in her eyes.
The teen quickly dialed in 911 and waited for the officer to answer.
"Hello, this is 911. How may we assist you?" The officer asked.
"Okay, okay, we need an ambulance right away! My friend just got hit by a car and she's bleeding! A LOT! We need that ambulance right away before she dies from blood loss!" Sam yelled to the officer.
The officer sounded panicked for a bit as Sam heard a gasp. "Sir, sir, we need you to calm down. Where is your location?" She asked.
"St. Breeze 10, near BOB's bowling alley."
"Alright, we're sending an ambulance and it'll arrive in ten minutes top. At the mean time, please stop her from bleeding." The officer ended the call.
Sam ran a hand through his hair as he saw his girlfriend was in a hysteric mode. He never had once seen Mikaela in a hysteric mode even if she was with him in Mission City. He sighed deeply as he saw Will trying to stop Jen's bleeding. It was horrible to look when your dear friend in covered by her own blood.
"Jen? Jen! Jen, sweetie can you hear me? It's me William! Mr. William!" Will gentle place her head on his lap while shaking her shoulders lightly. He didn't want to put more pressure to her body.
"Will! Stay calm, man! She can't hear you!" Epps placed a hand on Will's shoulder.
Will glared at Epps for a moment before turning to the Autobots. "Did you guys see the license's plate? And please call in Ratchet, Jolt, or Moonracer…" He furrowed his eyebrows down.
"Yes, it's 5ELNNN278." Smokescreen answered as he crossed his arms. "Will Jen be alright?" he asked as he bends down to help Will to stop Jen's bleeding.
"I dunno, she's losing a lot of blood. We need the medics FAST." Will said as he stared down at the unconscious girl. "Hang on sweetheart, help is on the way." He cooed softly.
Optimus, we have a situation. Ultra Magnus comm. linked his cousin.
What is the situation brother? Optimus asked; a hint of confused was heard from his tone.
Janette just got hit and run by a vehicle, the license's plate is 5ELNNN278. Ultra Magnus informed. Just then, he heard a loud thud coming from the background. He assumed that one of his comrades have glitched. Are the others hearing about this? He asked.
You bet we are. Ratchet growled. Why, I'm going to wield that pit spawn driver's aft to my med bay ceiling! He ranted.
You have to wait, Hatchet. I'm gonna blast his aft with my babies. Ironhide snarled as he was revering to his cannons.
Optimus! Permission to go and retrieve Jen! Barricade's voice came in the link.
Optimus was silent for a bit. Indeed they have, brother. I'm sending in Prowl, Ironhide, Jazz, Ratchet, and Jolt to your location. I shall stay behind and keep everyone calm. Optimus out. He ended the comm. link.
"Hey-Ultra! Do-you-want-me-to-chase-after-that-fraggin'-son-of-a-glitch? 'Cause-I-can-easily-catch-that-glitch-when-you-say-go!" Blurr clenched his fist.
Ultra Magnus stared down at the young Autobot in disguise. As much as he wants to send Blurr of a wild chase, he can't. He's sure that Blurr's holoform will disappear right in front of the crowd and he can't risk reviling their identity to the humans around them, who were huddling around Will and Jen.
He glanced over to Hot Rod, who was trying to keep the humans from huddling around Will and Jen. It was hard enough for the femme to breathe; she doesn't need more people to huddle around, making her even harder to breathe. Smokescreen was also helping Hot Rod along with Blurr. The cousin of the Prime decided to help as well; it was the only way to block the humans from taking pictures of Will and Jen. Ultra Magnus was confused, why would the humans took pictures of a horrible accident like this? Is their mental in need to be tested?
"Alright, alright, back away, nothing to see here. Get back to your activity now." Hot Rod scowled as one human tries to slip pass him.
He grabbed the crook of his collar and lifted him up easily. "Hey, man," The red haired teen started as he glared at the young man. "What part of 'get back to your activity' don't you understand?" He scoffed.
"This is one big news pal," He pointed to Will and Jen with his hands. "News like this would give anyone a few minutes of fame! Now step aside!" He slapped Hot Rod's hand away.
Will heard every word. How could've this guy be thinking of fame when someone is dying! He stood up and pushed the guy away.
"Hey! How can you possibly think of that right now? My niece is dying and you're thinking of fame?! What kind of human are you?!" He poked the guys hard on his chest, pushing him back a few steps.
"Well, dude." The guy began. "She's just another nobody. Why would anyone help her? I'm sure you're tired of taking care of your nephew." The guy smirked.
The Autobots growled as they all glared at the blonde man. Ultra Magnus stood in front of the young man to block his path as Will come back to help Epps.
"Trent? What are you doing here?" Sam asked as he approached the blonde young man.
Trent turned his head to face Sam and Mikaela. The black cap boy smirked at Mikaela as he was checking her out. The brunette could only huff and crossed her arms as Sam glared at him. It was annoying that Trent's dating Jen's little sister and now he's checking his ex, who is now dating Sam.
"Going to see the Mute die," Trent simply answered as Blurr growled.
Blurr didn't like this guy one bit. He wants to watch Jen die! Oh how he wish that he could punch this guy's face. The blue Autobot doesn't like it when someone mocked the person he likes to hang out with. Smokescree and Hot Rod seems to agree with Blurr though, even Ultra Magnus thinks so too. Trent just got his ticket to Oblivion.
"Get out of our face, Trent. Our friend is dying and we don't want you anywhere near her. So shoo! Get! I don't want to see you ever again!" Mikaela pushed Trent away.
Trent glared at his ex-girlfriend, but he walks away with a gruff.
"Hey-hey-hey! What's-that-guy-doing? Where's-he-taking-Jen?! Will! Do-something!" Blurr panicked as he saw a couple of man in white taking Jen away to a car called an Ambulance.
Smokescreen and Hot Rod held Blurr back while Sam explains. "They're taking Jen to the hospital. Ratchet might come here a bit too late, so at the mean time, we'll wait in the hospital." He sighed deeply.
One of the guy in white approached the gang. "Hey, I need one of you to come with us." He said.
"I'll go," Ultra Magnus insisted.
"No-I'll-go! I-wanna-go! Jenny- needs-someone-to watch-over-her! I'm-worried-that-she-might-not-make-it! Lemme-take-her-to-the-hospital!" Blurr jabbed his thumb to his chest.
"No, no, no, no," Will place his hands on both of their shoulder. "I'll go, she is my niece." He lied.
He wants to be more than just an uncle. No, a dad sounds very fitting for him to Jen. Well, he and Jen do look a bit alike. That kept him wondering, is Janette Jones really his first daughter? He doesn't remember his wife giving birth eighteen years ago. That thought is way off.
Will shrugged away the thoughts as he was called by the paramedic. "Please get in and try to keep her steady. We'll arrive at the hospital in no time." He said.
The soldier nodded. "Epps! Meet us at St. Hill Hospital! We both will be waiting for the gang to come." Will smirked weakly at his friend.
"Will do Will, see you later. Jen's going to be alright, okay? No need to worry much." Epps gave a smile as the ambulance's doors shut closed.
They watched as the sirens flickered on and the ambulance drove off towards the opposite direction. Blurr was still panicking because the mysterious white men were taking Jen away, when she needs medical attention! The blue Autobot wanted to chase after the ambulance, but Ultra Magnus held him back from doing so.
"We should go now," Mikaela suggested as they all seemed to agree.
"She's losing a lot of blood!"
"Clear the path!"
"Prepare the operating room! We need two positive B blood pints!"
Will Lennox was already freaking out after hearing that Jen needs two pints of blood. It's a lot and this is defiantly not a good sign. He rested his head on his arms as his elbows rested on his knees. The captain of N.E.S.T was once again put under pressure. He can't lose another dear comrade. The doctors better succeed in this surgery or else, something bad might happen and it involves a certain Weapon specialist.
His ears perked up when he heard the doctor was shouting to his assistants. He quickly jumped to his feet as he ran towards the glass view. His eyes widened as he saw that the doctors were getting a Defibrillator.
"No, no, no," Will mumbles under his breath as he starts to bang his hand on the clear glass view. "Oh God, please let this be fake." He prayed, but his hopes went back down as the doctor started to test out the Defibrillator.
"We're losing her!" The assistant shouted as the doctor nodded.
"Two hundred," The doctor ordered as the assistant nodded and turned the button to two hundred volts. "Clear!" the doctor shouted as he shocked Jen with the electrodes.
The monitor kept on slowing down.
"Three hundred!" He ordered as a higher shockwave could be seen between the electrodes.
"Clear!"
Will kept on shouted for Jen to wake up as he bangs the glass. He was stopped by a nurse when he was still banging the glass.
"No! Let me go! She's my niece for Pete's sake! I have to be by her side at all times!" Will yelled while the nurse dragged him out.
"Sir, we're doing the best we can to help your niece, but please stay calm and be quiet." The nurse ordered as she went back to the operating room.
Will stayed at the corridors as he stared at the red light above the doors. He ran a hand through his hair as he took a deep breath. He slammed his fist to the wall as he tried to let the frustration out. With one deep breath, he leaned against the wall and slid down to sit on the floor.
An hour later, Will felt someone pat his shoulder. He looked up and saw Optimus along with Ultra Magnus, Smokescreen, Barricade, Soundwave, Jazz, Ratchet, and Jolt. The only human soldier around them, stood up as he stretched his arms.
"Major Lennox, what is Jen's condition right now?" Optimus asked with a worried tone and his expression showed it all.
The Lennox shook his head sadly. "I dunno, the nurse shoved me out when the doctor was giving the shock to her." He answered.
"Shock?" Ratchet and Jolt asked in unison.
Will nodded. "Yeah, you know, The Defibrillation? We're losing her at that time." He sighed deeply as he sat down on the bench. "By the way, where are the others?"
"They are going to inform their parents and your family about what has happened today." Ultra Magnus informed.
Barricade simply stares at Will. This human was depressed and worried. Just like the lambo twins and Bumblebee. When they heard the news, they were quickly put in the brig because of their outrage. It took him, Optimus, Ironhide, Ratchet, and Prowl to maintain Bumblebee down for Jolt to sedate him. And it took the same team plus the femmes and wreckers to maintain Sideswipe and Sunstreaker down. The base was filled with commotion during the past hour. It was giving the two ex-Decepticons a processor-ache.
"Question: How long is the operation going to be?" Soundwave asked curiously.
The human glanced over to Soundwave and shook his head. "I dunno, but they've been in there for about two hours. I just hope Jen's alright." He mumbled.
Barricade glanced over to Will and crossed his arms. "Prowl, Soundwave, and I are working on the case. You don't have to worry about a single thing, once we find who this human is, we will be sure that he won't survive." He said while adjusting his black shades.
The human soldier laughed a little, "I'll keep that promise, 'Cade. But, I'm sure that 'Hide will love to join you." He continued with a small smirk.
"Oh, Ironhide's not the only one." Ratchet answered with a growl.
Will actually laugh, Ratchet's right, Ironhide is not the only one who wants to teach this guy a lesson.
The red light suddenly flickered off. Will stood up and approached the door as the doors flung open. He was pushed away by the nurse to give way for the patient in bed. He stared wide eyes at Jen. She's bandaged up, but was still bleeding. The Autobots also stared at Jen as she and the nurses went passing by them.
"Question: Where are they taking her?" Soundwave asked.
Ratchet turned to him. "I believe that those people are escorting her to a room for her to sleep in and visitors to come by." He answered.
"Which one of you is her relative?" A man with a white coat and a stethoscope around his neck came into view as he wiped his hands.
"I am," Will approach the doctor. "How is my niece doing, doc?" He asked curiously.
"Yeah, wha' is goin' ta happen to Jen?" Jazz repeated.
The doctor stared at him and then back to Will. He shook his head with a sigh. This doesn't seem to be a good sign.
"Not good at all. She has a few broken ribs, a hemorrhage, and a minor concussion. We also have to operate her left eye, she'll lose her left vision for a few weeks, but it'll heal, don't worry about that. What we should worry is that she might be in a comatose." The doctor explained as Will just took a deep breath while mumbling something under his breath.
The Autobots hung their heads down. They felt hope was all lost.
"But," The doctor began and they all lifted their heads up, hoping for good news. "There's still hope for the girl to survive. We just need to wait and see. It was nice talking to you, call me if she wakes up or make any progress, okay?" He shook hands with Will and the Autobots, and left the halls, leaving the Autobots and Will to think.
"So wha' ar we gonna do now?" Jazz asked with a loud sigh.
"We wait," Smokescreen answered. "Hopefully the twins wouldn't barge in the hospital…" He mumbles.
"Agree,"
Ratchet shook his head as he crossed his arms. "I'll see what I can do so that Jen can be discharged from the hospital's care and into our care." He waved his hand and told Jolt to come along with him.
"Thank you, Ratchet." Optimus smiled.
They all watch as the medics exited the halls.
"How about we visit Jen?" Will suggested as he leaded the way.
They all seemed to agree on that.
"HOLY FACKING SHIT! WHAT HAPPEN?!" Judy yelled out loud as she entered the room.
Everyone stared at her for a moment and sighed deeply as she, Sam, and Ron enters with Mikaela and Epps. Ron quickly dragged Judy out of the room because of her outrage. Sam simply shook his head as he came in with his girlfriend and a bouquet of flowers in hand.
"So…," Sam trailed off as he stared at Jen. "How's her progress?" He asked as he set the bouquet down beside her bed.
Will shook his head. "Nothing… Still the same as she was an hour ago." He sighed deeply.
"Where's 'Cade and Soundwave?" Mikaela raised an eyebrow, they said that they were going with Optimus and now they aren't here, at the room.
"They're heading back to discuss this accident with Prowl and the others back at base." Ultra Magnus said.
"Ratchet and Jolt?"
"Trying to convinced the doctors to let Jen go and into our care." Smokescreen answered.
"Oh…"
Mikaela sat right next to Jen's bed. She leaned forward and rested her arms and head on the side of the bed. She can't leave Jen's side for what she has done. Jen saved her life when that car was about to hit them both. She was the one who insisted to go to the Decepticons when Sam almost did the same. Stay by her side is the least she can do.
As the clock was ticking slowly second by second, the humans and the Autobots waited patiently for Jen to wake up. Hour by hour, she still hasn't wake up yet. They were worried, yes that's true, but they still haven't shook the feeling off that something bad is going to happen again.
They were almost asleep, but a sudden missing beep woken the brunette up. Mikaela scrambled up as she heard there was no more beeping sounds coming from the monitor. Her eyes widened as the IV fluids were out and the heartbeat monitor was not going up and down anymore, only small mountains were seen.
"Guys, guys, wake up…," She shook Sam's shoulder and Will's, but they just shifted. "GUYS! WAKE UP!" The brunette yelled.
"Huh? Oh? What happen? What did I miss?" Sam jumped up to his feet as he glanced around the room, panicking.
"What is the matter, Signora?" Mirage asked with his Italian accent.
"Get the nurse! Jen's IV fluids are out and her heartbeat is slowing down!" Mikaela panicked.
Jolt quickly went into medic mode as he saw another pint of IV fluids. He changed the empty pint with a new filled pint of IV fluids. It wasn't hard to change the pint, but it was hard to get her heartbeat back to normal. He didn't have the right tool to do so. He just had to do it the old fashion way, by giving her CPR until the human doctors arrive.
"Alright, I need everyone to leave this room NOW!" The doctor ordered as they all left the room, well, the Autobots have to drag Ironhide out of the room though and it was hard.
They watched as the nurses ran inside Jen's room. The door was shut tightly as one of the nurse brought in the Defibrillator into her room. Will could only stare in horror as this was the second time; Jen is going to get shocked by the Defibrillator. It was bad to get shock for the second time and it's nearly eleven at night.
Mikaela sobbed into Sam's shoulder as she yelped every time the doctor shouted 'Clear'. It was terrifying to hear. Jazz had to lend his headphones to Mikaela, to calm her down. He also didn't like the electricity wave he and all of the Autobots kept on receiving whenever the doctor 'shocked' Jen.
"Where is her uncle?" The doctor came out.
Will quickly stood up. "I'm here." He answered.
"Your niece is going to be transferred to another hospital." The doctor sighed deeply. "At Elizabeth Hospital, their supplies are much more equipped than ours. She's going to get transferred tomorrow night, if she doesn't wake up." he continued.
"But, can she be transferred to our medical bay? How does that sound?" Jolt asked.
"Ah, the nurse has informed me about your request." The doctor hummed. "Very well, we shall see tomorrow night. Just to be sure, I need her to stay here for another night." The doctor closed his files and walked away.
"I want only two or three people to be inside this room, no more but less is good." The doctor ordered before entering another room.
They all stared at each other and sighed deeply.
"Okay, I'll stay, you guys need to get back home and you guys need to be back at base before Director Galloway finds out." Will said as he pointed his finger at Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots.
"No, we'll stay here." A new voice said from behind.
It was the lambo twins.
"What are you two glitch heads doing here?" Ironhide grumpily said.
"We're staying behind and that's final. It's our turn to watch over Jen." Sideswipe answered as he crossed his arms.
They were unconvinced for a moment there, but it's true. The lambo twins would do anything to keep Jen save. They will surely call in the doctor whenever the situation got worse. Optimus agreed with the twins and they all left the hospital, leaving the lambo twins alone with Jen. Ironhide didn't trust them, but what choice does he have? He has to take Will home and guard him and his family.
After they all left the hospital, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker went inside Jen's room. They were shocked when they saw Jen's condition. They were also pissed that someone would dare to hurt their femme. When they find who this mech that hurt their femme, the twins are sure to beat the slag out of him.
Sideswipe sighed deeply as he grabbed a chair and sit next to Jen's bed while resting his arms on the bed. He lightly gripped on Jen's hand as Sunstreaker sat on the couch. They both sat in complete silence as they could only wait for their femme to wake up.
Then Sideswipe took out a lot of papers from his pocket. Sunstreaker stared at his twin with curiosity. What was his brother doing with a bunch of papers?
"What are you doing Sides?" Sunstreaker asked as he leaned forward.
Sideswipe glanced over to his twin and smiled. "Well, I'm making a Thousand Paper Crane." He said as he started to make a crane.
"A Thousand Paper Crane?" Sunstreaker questioned as he grabbed a chair and sat next to his twin.
"Yeah, I searched the World Wide Web for legends and found this one. It's from Japan and it said that if we made a thousand of these paper cranes and held it by strings, a crane will grant our wish." Sideswipe grinned as he finished his third crane.
Sunstreaker chuckled softly. "Oh what the heck, give me those papers, after all four hands are better than two." He replied as he helped Sideswipe with the mystical legend papers.
Human have such weird cultures.
By the time the sun rises, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker finished the thousand paper cranes. It was hard to believe that a thousand paper cranes would be finish in just one night. Mostly, the Japanese finished the cranes for almost over a year. Yeah, nothing can stand between the twins and their femme.
Bumblebee entered the room as silent as he can be. He chuckled as he saw the twins were sleeping after making crafts of cranes. He has searched the World Wide Web for the legend and it interests him. The blonde scout grabbed the cranes and hung them above the window.
He approached the twins and patted their shoulders lightly. They both woke up with a loud yawn while stretching their arms.
"Wha~ what time is it?" Sideswipe asked.
"Morning," Bumblebee answered. "I think that you two have been staying up all night making paper cranes."
"Yeah… we did, it was worth it." Sunstreaker wiped the tears from his eyes.
Bumblebee chuckled and grinned. "Yeah, I think your wish will be granted soon."
"We hope so…"
After an awkward moment of silence, Bumblebee spoke up.
"Hey, Optimus and Ultra wants you two to go back to base. They said that they want to discuss about the accidents that has been happening to Jen." Bumblebee received an odd look from the twins.
"You mean that this accident has a connection when the time Jen got hit and pushed into the pool? And the time when Jen got kidnapped by the slagging 'Cons?" Sideswipe growled a bit as Bumblebee nodded.
"Slagging son of a glitch!" Sunstreaker fumed.
"Okay, Bee… Watch over Jen. We'll be back before you know it." Sideswipe points a finger at Bumblebee as the twins exited the room.
Bumblebee simply shrugged as he sat down.
He stroke Jen's cheek lightly as he scanned her vitals. Luckily, everything seems to be normal and functioning well. He sighed deeply as he buried his face into the bed sheets. He gripped on Jen's hand lightly.
"Jen… wake up soon. We miss you so much." Bumblebee murmured softly.
A few hours had passed by and Bumblebee had fallen asleep. The room was silent, not a single sound was heard except the wind blowing from the window. It was the perfect warm noon. Bumblebee shifted a bit as he felt the wind hit his face. He was daydreaming again. It was a sad daydream, the kind he wouldn't like to happen in real life.
"Jen…" Bumblebbe mumbled in his sleep.
A single tear drop fell from his cheek. He groaned a bit as he felt someone stroke his cheek, wiping his tears away. He slowly opened his right eye and his eyes widened as he saw that it was Jen, who was comforting him. The blonde quickly smiled brightly as he carefully hugged Jen. His tears of joy flow down his cheeks like waterfall, he was just too happy!
"Oh, Jen! The Paper Cranes work! I knew you would wake up soon! I knew it! Wait until they hear about this!" Bumblebee chirped happily.
Jen stares blankly at Bumblebee. Her right eye seemed to be empty, filled with nothingness.
"Who are you?"
A/N: O_O Not again! How will they take this?! Well, let's find out what happen next. The mysterious driver is a total mystery! Who could it be?
I've done a lot of research about this chap and Trent is still a jerk! DX
The 'A Thousand Paper Cranes' legend is in wikipedia, I found the legend so I used it ^^
