Juliette and her friend Connor were headed out to a near by dirt bike track. With their dirt bikes in the box of the truck and their gear in the back seat, both were prepared to race each other till the end of the day.

"Hey Connor," Juliette called to him from the drivers seat.

"Yeah?" Connor replied turning to her.

"We better make this ride count, it's our last ride together before I leave."

"Don't we make every ride count?" Connor asked with a smile.

"True, true." She smiled back.

"Oh My God!" Connor yelled as a small car in front spun out of control and flipped onto its roof. Juliette threw the truck into park and shut the engine off.

"Call 911!"

"What are you going to do?!?!" Connor yelled to Juliette.

"To help!" She jumped out of the truck and ran to the over turned car. Juliette with her pink tank top, racing pants and biking boots ran to the driver's side and saw a man strapped in his seat, upside down with a large open gash on his left leg. "Sir? Sir, my name is Juliette Knight. Can you tell me your name?"

"J-Jacob, Jacob Nash," he replied. "How's my daughter? Is she OK?" Juliette looked through the backseat to find a young baby girl crying in her car seat hanging from the floor of the car.

"Oh God," Juliette said to herself. "HEY! HEY I NEED SOME HELP OVER HERE!!!" She cried out motioning to the bystanders. Juliette and two other men tried to get the baby out safely. "OK. You get some one the help you get that man out."

"And how are we going to do that?" One of the men asked Juliette with a look on his face like he was in distress and panicky.

"First of all calm down or get out of the way. Secondly, one of you two will put their arms under the man's pelvis and keep him steady. The other one will unbuckle the seat belt. Oh, and tell the man to place his hands on the roof of the car so he doesn't fall on his head." Whilst the two other men were getting Jacob out of the car Juliette and another man did the same with the baby girl. The man who caught the baby girl took her over to his wife to watch over her.

"OK, he's out of the car. Now what?" The other man asked. Juliette scanned her surroundings to see what she could use. Then it hit her. She ran over to an old man standing by his truck.

"Can I borrow these?" As Juliette gestured to the panel covers on the box of the old mans truck.

"Umm. Sure." The old man replied with a look of curiosity on his face.

"Alright, thank you."

"CONNOR!" Juliette called out. "GET OVER HERE!" Connor and Juliette carried over the panels. "Connor, in my bag there's a roll of pink army colored tape. Go get it for me please."

"Yeah, yeah I got it." Connor said as he ran to the truck. When Connor returned Juliette had gotten Jacob on the panel lying on his back. Connor handed the roll of pink tape to Juliette and she began rapping the tape piece by piece from Jacob's forehead to his chest and down to his ankles.

"HEY WE'EVE GOT ANOTHER ONE!" Someone called from the ditch.

"Connor take that panel and the tape and go see what or who it is." Juliette said to him. Connor ran off to go help as Juliette tended to Jacob's leg. "Damn it, damn it, damn it. There's too much bleeding. Someone get me some cardboard and string." Just as a woman walked up with cardboard and string. Juliette came up with how she was going to cover the wound. She took the string and unraveled it. "Anybody got a knife?"
