💗CHAPTER 23 💗
Manny :Hey lieutenant!!! How does it look??? (she shouted from the top of the tunnel..it's echos the whole tunnel)
Meanwhile Alec is removing all the pieces of cement concrete from the victim's body.. Expect one on his leg which looks heavy weighted…
Leo:God!!! Don't shout Manny , your voice gonna bleed my ears soon ( he said while holding the concrete which is on the old man's leg )
Alec :Can you two please shut up…?? (he shouted to shut them up )
Alec :Hey, can you say what your name is…? Can you hear me?? (he checked for any bleeding from his ear and looked at Gracie )
"Is there any?" Gracie mouthed… Alec shook his head as no!!! Gracie breathed in relaxing way
Old man :yeah I can!!! I can.. Please take this thing from my leg… it hurts… please!!! (he pleaded)
Alec :I am gonna do that.. Just be brave okay.. (he encouraged him) and don't move your legs until I ask you to…
Gracie : just check it and tell us… we have to call for help if it's too much…(she is peeping her head into the tunnel gap to convey this message to alec)
Alec: wait… it's cement concrete we can't be that sure (he said while lifting the concrete little up from the victims leg… the next minute there is uncontrollable oozing of blood from the spot… so Alec left it back slowly while breathing hard ) call for help!!! .. (alec said looking at Manny)
There is a Crack in the ceiling of the subway tunnel , which breaks down and falls on an old man's leg and body .its a trespasser's prohibited area .because it's under repair, the concerte fell on him was full of iron rod and cements…the firefighters get down by the rope on the same hole where the ceiling broke down which is dangerous because rusted uneven sharp and blunt iron rods are peeping from the sides..Alec sleeve and Leo's pant tore a little on sides when they get down…that old man is getting pale because of the loss of blood and he is tired because it's been more than 15 mins he is holding that heavyweight concrete on his legs…
Leo :why did you come in this way.. Didn't you see that restriction board on the other end.? This subway is under repair work..
Old man :my eye sight wasn't that clear.. By This way I can reach my home soon… so i came (he groan)
Alec :really??? Is this the time to ask all This?? (he said little angirly )
Manny : give him some water, we asked for a cold one from a nearby shop ..here!! this may control some bleeding (she threw a bottle to leo, who immediately fed the old man)
Gracie : relax/!! he won't bleed much until that concert puts pressure on him… if the pressure gets released, we can't promise what will happen next…
Alec :what should I do now…?? (he shouted back)
Manny :You better don't lift that thing… until the help arrives.. We called them, they are on the way
Alec :fast? He is dozing out (he asked seriously on looking at that old man )
Gracie :We think it's the main artery.. (she said and looked at alec.. Who is looking at Leo in total horror..)
"Okay move!!! Move!!! Move "Anna came clearing the crowd outside…
Magnus :seems like someone is happy about the day shifts… (he said while leaning on the top of the broken hole of the tunnel, he rolled his eyes when he saw alec in it)
