Ch 5 Salvage

   Judy wasn't able to use her left arm but she was right handed so it wasn't that big a deal. I was trying to hide the fact that I was bleeding badly plus I have huge gaping wounds and definitely broken bones. I was also on a pain killer so it didn't hurt...a lot. We both went to the flipped car and we tried to find anything that seemed useful. I was able to find a screwdriver and take apart the police computer to pull out the dashcam hard drive. I also opened the hood and get the car battery plug back in. I was surprised that I was even able to fit through such a gap because the car was still upside down. I went back in the glass filled car were I found Judy getting the emergency phone and radio. I tried to power on the police computer that was mounted as a very big car radio but instead, the screens backlight did turn on but that's all. When I opened to police computer again I saw that most of the cables were not plugged in and only the LCD had power. When I plugged everything back in and powered on the computer I was excited because the computer started working again. I shouted with excitement which got Judy's attention. "Wow! You got the computer to work!" said Judy. She seemed impressed which made me feel better. Judy started working on the upside down computer. "Uh nick.". "Yeah.". "We have no connection whatsoever. The computer is basically useless at this point". When we got out of the car with all the useful things in the bag we found we spilled it on the blanket I wrapped Judy in and reviewed what we salvaged. 3 medkits. 2 blankets. 2 days worth of food and water. Emergency phones. Flashlights. A toy car...weird. And a bunch of weapens. There was also a small radio for music. We were in a type of ditch and we couldn't really go anywhere so we used the emergency phones to call 911. Judy told the operator where we were sorta located and they said they will send a search party. I got very excited and then very disappointed when they also mention that due to the inaccurate location info it might take days till they find us. I was secretly using one of the medkits to do something about my own injuries at the time but the second I heard that I thought i had even more injuries.
