The Alpha Echo Team: Book 1: Part 1

Chapter 9

It was just after lunch when suddenly piercing the silence
"All units to the garage." Came over the speakers
"This can't be good." Said Evan
They all rushed to the garage and got in line ready for orders.
"I have decided that we're going on police patrol, so gear up and get to your bearcats." Said Arthur
The team quickly got into gear and climbed into their bearcats, ready for patrol.

On patrol, they weren't catching much crime happening. All they did was just drive about, watching, waiting, for anything to happen. After about 2 hours on patrol, they were just about to start going back to the HQ when suddenly

VROOOM

A Bugatti Bolide came racing past.
"Follow that car!" Arthur yelled over the radio

The team sped up and put their lights and sirens on. They raced after the Bugatti and caught up with it.
"This car ain't stopping. It's actually speeding up." Arthur said over the radio
"One-Eight-Zero miles per hour." Said Arthur. "One-Nine-Zero miles per hour." They added

The team continued to chase the Bugatti, and as they did, the Bugatti driver flashed a gun out the window of the car.
"He's got a gun, be careful." Arthur yelled over the radio as they continued to chase the car

BANG BANG BANG

"Shots fired." Arthur said over the radio

They raced after the car as it continued to fire at Arthur's bearcat. Arthur then put his window down to try and return fire at the car, but just as the window went down...

BANG

"Fuck!" Arthur yelled
He had been shot in the arm.

BANG BANG

"OW. Motherfucker!" Arthur yelled as they shut their window
They had been shot twice more. One in the forearm and one in the shoulder.
"I've been shot Three times. Drop back and disconnect from the pursuit." Arthur said over the radio

They then went to a layby, and Arthur quickly beamed up to the Alpha Echo Enterprise's sick bay and got his arm fixed in 10 mins after being shot 3 times.

Arthur then beamed down to the bearcats, and they all then returned to the HQ.

2 minutes later, they had just got to the HQ and were parking up their bearcats when suddenly the alarms went off, and the call was read out.
"Car crash on the M-Seven Northbound. Five car pile up. Eight casualties. Seven victims stuck in cars. The person who caused the crash has fled the scene."
"Fucking hell." said Evan
"Evan and Jas you're in the firefighting bearcats. Sam you're in the ambulance bearcat. The rest of us are in police." Ordered Arthur

They quickly got into bearcats and raced to the call with lights and sirens blaring. Within 5 minutes, they were at the scene. They hopped out of their bearcats and rushed to aid everyone.

"Oh my god." Said Arthur under his breath
"What are you 'oh my goding' at Arthur?" Asked Evan
"The Bugatti we were in a pursuit with is the one who caused this." Said Arthur
"How do you know he caused this?" Said Evan
"The call said the driver who caused this fled the scene, and this Bugatti is empty." Said Arthur
"Oh shit." Said Evan

Arthur then remembers that the driver had a gun, so they searched the vehicle for the gun.
"Well fuck." Said Arthur
"What now?" Said Evan
"The driver had a gun, correct?" Said Arthur
"Well how else did you get shot if he didn't have a gun?" Said Evan
"Well his gun ain't in his car so he's still got it." Said Arthur
"Oh shit." Said Evan as he got the last victim onto the stretcher
"Sam, get moving to the hospital. Evan let them know they have Seven patients on their way." Said Arthur
"On it." said Evan

BANG

"Ahhhh. That son of a bitch. Team, get that asshole in cuffs now!" Yelled Arthur
Sam saw what happened in his bearcats mirror, and he quickly stopped the bearcat and rushed Arthur on a stretcher and to the hospital as well.
"Make that Eight patients Evan." Sam said over the radio
"Will do." said Evan

Sam rushed everyone to the hospital as fast as he could. When he got there, everyone was quickly taken in, and Arthur was put into emergency surgery after being shot in the heart.
After a 1 hour surgery and a 75% chance that Arthur would die (or atleast thats what the doctors thought), they miraculously came out alive. After the team had talked to them, Arthur said
"You lot should get back to the HQ ready for dinner. Evan, you're in charge until further notice as I won't be there, I'll be here in the hospital."
"Ok, Arthur." Said Evan with a sad and nervous tone to his voice
"You're going to be ok." Said Arthur
"Thanks. I won't let you down." Said Evan
"I'm sure you won't." said Arthur

The team returned to the HQ without Arthur for the first time and parked the bearcats in their place.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, the machines hooked up to Arthur were going haywire.
"They've got a bleed in the heart. Get them to surgery and stitch the bleed up stat." Said one of the doctors
The Alpha Echo Team was alerted that Arthur could be on their deathbed when they get out of surgery as the procedure has an 80% chance of fatality (in the doctors eyes anyways)

The team raced their way to the hospital and when Arthur came out of surgery they all talked and said what could be their final words to Arthur when, out of nowhere, a doctor appeared with the news they had wanted.
"Arthur will survive. They just need to stay the night, and they can be discharged tomorrow morning." Said the doctor

The team all celebrated the amazing news. Well, all exept Arthur. They seemed like they had expected that result.
"Right, team, you better get back to the HQ ready for any more calls. I'll be back tomorrow to take back command, but in the meantime, Evan, you're in charge." Said Arthur
"Ok, we'll head back and await your arrival in the morning." Said Evan

The team then went back to the HQ, parked up the bearcats, and got ready for bed while the Bugatti driver remained in a solitary confinement cell aboard the Alpha Echo Enterprise with maximum security.
