"It fell all the way from heaven and land on top of her!"
"You mean through her." Chim snickers.
"Oh, my, god. H-How is she still alive?" I ask, in utter shock.
"This is definitely a first for me." Buck chuckles.
He jumps to the floor and starts to crawl his way under the couch.
"Pulse is strong, airway's clear, breathing's good. CRT is good, too." Chim says as he checks her over.
"Olivia, I need you to tell me your pain level from one to ten." Bobby says.
"It's, like, a four, but throbbing." She tells us. "How am I even alive!? I have a hole in me!"
"You sure do." I mutter.
Me and Bobby sneak a look through the hole, and see Buck through it.
"Hi, guys." He giggles.
"He's having too much fun with this." Eddie sighs.
"It looks like left lower abdomen, might have taken out the kidney or at least lacerated it." I say, carefully inspecting the wound.
"Can you wiggle your toes for me?" Eddie asks.
She groans loudly before wiggling her toes in Eddie's hands.
"It definitely missed the spine, Cap." Eddie says.
"Yeah, and this weighted blanket contained the blast radius." Chim says in awe.
"Must have cauterized most of the blood vessels on the way through and the nerves too." I tell them.
"That's why you're not in excessive pain, Olivia." Bobby says.
"Oh, lucky me." She says sarcastically.
"We're gonna have to move her with the blanket." Chim says.
"And that chaise is also fused to her, Cap." Buck informs us from underneath.
All of a sudden, Buck yells out in excitement.
"Guys! Guys.. I-I found it! All the way from outer space. Should I grab it?" He asks all giggly as he pops himself back up.
"Doesn't belong to you, Buck." Bobby says.
"It belongs in a museum." Chim says in a funny voice.
We look at him confused, but he just shakes his head in disappointment.
"Okay, we're gonna need the saws, both of them." Bobby concludes.
"I'm sorry, did you say saws? Did he say saws? Did you say saws?" She says panicked.
"Hey, don't worry. We've got you." I chuckle.
Buck and Eddie come back with the saws, and they start to cut down the couch.
"Of all the people on the planet, the thing had to hit me." She says over the saws.
"You know what?" Buck starts, as he stops the saws and we cover the wound with wet gauzes. "Only one other person in history has ever been hit by a meteorite, and that was in the '50s, which makes you pretty special."
