Code black

Chapter 2

Do you see something or someone" Jake asked as he, Bell and AJ kept climbing the stairs and looking and searching for people on all of the floors.

"No, still nothing" Austin answered. As they kept going higher, the smoke seemed to get heavier. This told them that the bomb has exploded on one of the top floors and given the fact that they haven't found Kit or Mina yet, either of them could be in a serious state.

"Do you hear that?" Randolph stopped as soon as they stepped on the 8th floor. A faint sound could be heard in the distance. 

Bell followed it and in a matter of seconds he found Mina doing CPR on a woman. Quickly, he swapped with her, because she was exhausted, and asked what happened.

"We were going down the stairs. Maris over here has had a C-section 3 days ago. She couldn't walk properly, so when the bomb exploded, it knocked her off her feet and she fell down the whole flight of stairs. At first she was fine, but then her heart suddenly stopped" while Mina was rambling, AJ and Jake rushed over to help as well. Austin checked on Mina quickly and when he was really convinced that she was fine, they focused on the patient.

"Oh my god" Mina sighed out of the blue "Kit. She went upstairs for Mr.Harrison. She is still on the 10th floor." 

Randolph and Jake looked at each other and without a word they ran up the stairs, the sudden information giving them the strength to do so.
The 10th floor was, without doubt, the place where the bomb had exploded. The two men quickly made their way to the room in the end of the corridor in which, they knew, Mr. Harrison would be. 

What they found tho, wasn't the kind old man that has had a hip replacement and had been staying in that room.

The door was blocked from inside, but they managed to open it with joint forces. Right after it opened, smoke came out of the room making it hard for the guys to see anything. After it cleared a bit and their eyes adjusted, they saw a figure lying on the floor, not so far from the place where they were standing.

"Kit, oh my god" Randolph gasped and rushed over to help her. The Brit was unconscious, covered in blood in so many places that he could barely tell where she actually had a wound. Randolph's trembling hand found its way to her neck, trying to find a pulse. His heart skipped a beat when, at first, he didn't feel anything. Then, after a few seconds he felt it. It was faint and he knew that she was hardly still alive, but it gave him hope. 

Kit was still breathing and he planned on keeping it that way.

In the panic that took over him, Randolph hadn't noticed when Jake had knelt down next to Kit's body, examining her.
"She had tried to stop the bleeding in her leg. That's a good sign. She had woken up after she got hurt. Hopefully there is no brain damage" he said, tightening up the improvised tourniquet a bit.

"Dolph, we don't have much time, she needs medical attention now" the plastic surgeon added and Bell suddenly came back to reality.

Without a word the man stood up, lifting up his friend's unconscious body, trying to keep her leg steady to prevent it from bleeding more than it has already.
Jake ran in front of him, clearing the way, so he doesn't trip over. 

Two floors later they came face to face with AJ, Mina and the woman, who was now conscious and responsive. Mina gasped at the sight, her eyes filling with tears. However she stayed with Marris as AJ went to help the both men. But Bell didn't stop for a second. He kept running down the stairs, Kit lying in his hands. 

"Please stay with me a little longer" he whispered when they were meters from the exit.

What happened after was a blurred image in Randolph's mind, but somehow he found himself in the waiting room of Atlanta General, waiting and praying for her to be okay. 

And in that exact moment he realized …..
…. that he needed her more than he had ever known he would.
