NOTHING FEELS THE SAME

Chapter 27

A load of police barged through the door. "Call an ambulance" yelled one of them. Gary was in shock. There was blood pooling on his shirt where his hand rested. One of the officers grappled the roll of toilet paper and started to wrap it around his wrist. Another one of them lay him back in the tub and raised his hand. He was cold and starting to shiver, his eyes felt heavy and his throat dry.

Soon a he was wrapped in a sliver blanket and there were 2 medics beside him. Together with the police the carried him to the portable bed. His back was tilted up and they rushed him out to the ambulance. "Where's Sam?" He hoarsely whispered as he was wheeled out the door. No sooner than when he said it did he see her standing between 2 police officers, dressed in a lose fitting beach dress. 'Oh my beautiful Sam'

Soon as Sam saw Gary being wheeled out of the apartment she struggled from the police men's grasp and ran over to him. "Gary! Oh my god baby what happened!" She ran her hand down his cheek. He was too week to respond. "Ma'am are you travelling in the ambulance to?" "Damn bloody right I am" she was scary when she was pissed off. "Well up you get, a police car is going to trail us."

The whole ride they were fiddling with Gary's wrist. He drifted in and out of consciousness. Shock Sam guessed. They were constantly checking his heart rate and god knows what else. It was a relief when they finally made the small hospital. "Okay miss I need you to wait here, he needs surgery now. There will be officers with you shortly." 'Oh not again' she thought as she slumped in the seat.

Sam sat there for about 5 minutes before she was joined by a group of officers. One of them came and sat beside her. "Miss Rigby," 'woah! He's British!' "My name is Officer Nichols, I've been tasked with following Mr Barlow until he returns to the United Kingdom. It's for his own safety, now I should have been able to stop what happened last night, and finally caught this wanker, but for some reason my surveillance equipment went down because of some sort of EM interference. Did you see anything around that could have caused that?" "Huh?" Sam didn't have a clue what he was stalking about. "So I'm going to guess that's a no, we'll then, can you tell me why you left the villa at about 1:30?" "Ehh, I want for a walk" "A walk?" "Yeah, along the beach" "Do you mind if I ask why? You just left your sick, fragile and very caring fiancé by himself" "I KNOW THAT!" Sam stood up and paced the room. "I went for a walk because I couldn't sleep, I couldn't sleep because my back hurt, my back hurts because I'm bloody pregnant and I didn't want to wake Gary because he was peacefully sleeping, do you know how hard it is for him to get a good nights rest now!!??" "Miss, please take a seat and calm down" "CALM DOWN?! Are you kidding, my husband to be and father of my unborn child just tried to kill himself because he was soo scared. Scared that some one might rape him again! How on gods green earth do you expect me yo be calm!" He sighed and looked down to his hands "Because it's not good for the baby.."

He was right, Sam felt faint and a bit dizzy. She backed up against the wall and slid down it. She was starting to pass out. Officer Nichols called out for some nurses and they came rushing to her side. But it was to late. Everything was already black.
