The driver speeds his car towards George's house. I'm in the backseat and he continually checks on me in his rearview mirror.
My head suddenly started to feel very heavy as he drove through town. I must have begun to bob my head up and down because the driver called my name a few times.
"Stay with me Miss Kara. You're going to be okay. Just stay awake." He uses the car phone to telephone George. I can't make out the words he's saying over the phone.
Everything starts turning blurry. I feel my body slump further down in the seat. I feel like I'm in a rocket ship, zooming through space. I feel the ship moving faster and faster. It's almost as if I'm moving at the speed of light. Soon though, the ship stops. I wonder why. I feel a blast of heat and light. Then I feel myself floating. I float higher and higher. There is a slight breeze as I fly through the space around me. I hear a faint voice. I have to really strain my ears to make out the slightest distinction.
"Kara! Kara!" The voice came through. The person was whispering so quietly. Why so quiet? Don't they know I can't hear them? Don't they know I'm trying to fly through space in peace?
George's POV
I continue to scream her name as I carry her into the hospital emergency room.
When I had gotten off the phone with Oscar, my driver, I told him not to come to my house but to go to the hospital instead. I'd meet them there. I have great medical personnel here, but I know this is something I'd rather leave up to the hospital staff.
I screech into the parking lot just as Oscar does. He stops the car and tells me that she's fainted. The emergency doors open and nurses run out. One of my home staff must have telephoned that we were coming. I pick Kara up out of the car and run her inside, where a group of doctors is ready.
I don't know what's happened to her. Neither does Oscar. He said she came out of an alley looking like that. I scolded him for not seeing her walk out of the store and he says he watched the doors like a hawk.
"She must have come out some other way Mr. George, sir. I swear I didn't take my eyes from the door for not even just a second. I promise." I trusted his words. I told him to go home and wait for us or a call. He nodded his head solemnly. I knew he felt bad but right now I couldn't be bothered to tell him it's okay because I don't know if it will be okay. I don't know if she'll be okay.
"Mr. Harrison?" I turn and face a doctor.
"We're taking her to the ICU. She needs immediate surgery."
"What?!" I quickly close the space between me and the doctor man.
"Why?!"
The stiffy man pushes his glasses farther up his pointy nose.
"She has glass inside her, puncturing which is causing a lot of internal bleeding. And she's been poisoned."
