WHO: Caitlin & Peter WHEN: Tue 5/10/7 @ 6pm WHERE: NYC WHAT: Caitlin is in an accident and Peter's ambulance comes to her rescue RATING: pg13
Caitlin was exhausted. She was working her ass off just to keep a roof over her head and food in her belly. When she wasn't working she was usually wandering New York City trying to make sense of things. But she was just too tired to do it tonight. In fact, she was too tired to walk back to the hotel. Normally she didn't mind the walking, it was almost a forty five minute walk, but she liked the exercise, the peace and quiet and time to herself. But she could barely lift her feet this time, could barely keep her eyes open. So a guy from work had offered to drive her. He was like the only guy there with a car. So she had gratefully accepted his offer.
It seemed like a great idea until someone ran a red light. Coming from the right the car barreled right into Caitlin's door. Everything happened to fast for her. She had no idea what was going on. Glass was flying everywhere. Her head jerked and slammed into the door. She phased in and out of consciousness for the next half hour. Someone pulled her from the car. She could hear an ambulance getting closer. She was pretty sure that Roger (the guy who'd offered her the ride in the first place) was calling her name. But she wasn't sure. She'd been hurt, was he hurt too?
Everything was blurry and red, Caitlin lifted her hand to wipe some blood out of her eye, but someone grabbed it. Someone was telling her to lie still. Someone said the ambulance was pulling up. Someone was yelling about moving her and the driver. Someone was yelling not to. Someone put something soft under her head. And someone was pressing something soft against her abdomen. It hurt. White light flashed across her eyes for a moment. Caitlin tried to push them away but she didn't have any strength left in her.
