Chapter 31

"Excuse me sir are you hurt?" A nurse had grabbed hold of Jason's arm and was looking at him with great concern at the amount of blood he was covered in.

"No, it's not my blood," Jason looked down and was shocked to see just how much of Harry's blood had seeped on to his clothes.

"Ok, well we need to find out some information and there are some forms to be signed, are you the victim's husband or relative?"

"Boyfriend," it sounded such a daft thing to say, Jason was no boy, but it just seemed easier to explain it this way, before he changed his mind, "fiancé, I'm her fiancé", it was the most perfectly natural thing for him to say as soon as he could he was gonna marry that girl.

He was led to a desk where a young administrator sat at a computer, she did do a double take when she saw him and he could see the confusion on her face and almost hear her internal dialogue as she second guessed herself if he was who she thought he was? Jason answered all the questions he could, "no... she had no other family". There was no one else to contact and he would be and is responsible for her. Once all the questions were asked and the forms completed, she pointed to an area at the back of the waiting area and suggested he sit and wait until they had something to tell him. Numbly he walked over and sat.

Harry falling against him, the scene just kept playing and replaying in his head. None of this was supposed to have happened. Barry appeared holding a coffee and placed it in Jason's hands, it was hot, almost too hot to hold but it shocked him back to the present.

"I've called the police, thought I'd do it, they've probably called from here but,"

Jason interrupted him, "yeah good..." Jason felt lost he wasn't sure what he should be doing right now, it was the middle of the night and the accident and emergency, although there were few people milling about, it wasn't busy as he had thought it would be. "Where you think he is now?" Jason stared into the distance as he spoke.

"No idea mate, could be anywhere, if he's got any sense he will be long gone, maybe if we are really lucky, he's done himself in."

"Nah he won't have done that, when I find him..." Jason finished his coffee off, screwed up the cup and tossed it into a bin a good 5 feet away.

"You really should get cleaned up you look like hell, can't have our pretty boy looking like that," Barry nudged him on the shoulder.

Jason didn't care what he looked like all he wanted was to see a Dr find out that Harry was ok and see her.

An hour went by, then two, then three, then four. Jason, Barry and Chris paced, sat and paced the waiting area, and drank at least 5 coffees each. Finally, a surgeon found them Jason saw her first, she wasn't hard to miss "Mr Statham?"

Jason rushed towards her, he felt sick to his stomach there was no expression on the woman's face, "if you'd like to follow me?"

Barry and Chris waited and watched Jason follow the surgeon out of the area and into a side door. The room was small and claustrophobic. "Take a seat," Jason didn't want to but did so.

"How is she? She ok? Will Harry be ok?"

"The surgery did go well; we removed the bullet it was an area close to her spine however I believe the operation was a success. She lost a lot of blood so we had to give her a transfusion but considering everything I believe she will recover. She's still in an induced coma so we've taken over breathing for her, give her body some time to rest and heal. We won't really know the extent if there is any further damage until we wake her up which we hope to do so in a day or two, but I feel optimistic. You are her fiancé I take it?"
