Adversity is a Gift (19 days fan fiction) He Tian x Red Head

Chapter Twenty Three - Intensifying

After He Cheng received the message about He Tian, Qiu suggested that he drive them to the hospital.  The journey was tense, He Cheng was silent the whole way, the only signs of his stress were when he clenched his phone in his fist.  Qiu could hear the metal making  protesting groans from where he sat in the drivers seat.

As soon as Qiu pulled into the parking area beneath the hospital, He Cheng tore open the door and slammed it hard.  Then Cheng ran, Qiu lost sight of him immediately but he wasn't overly concerned as a police officer he had visited this emergency department a lot.  Either to get witness statements after assaults or to escort criminals who were injured during arrest.  He knew the staff here.  It was dangerous coming here undercover, he was fucked if any of the staff approached him, but Cheng was losing it and he needed Qiu there as moral support.

Qiu made his way to the emergency department the back way, the way only staff and authorised personnel knew about.  He sneaked passed the X-ray department and ended up at the family room door which opened suddenly.  That silver haired dude who had been at the initiation last night came out and nodded at him as he walked out of the department.

When Qiu walked into the room, Cheng looked destroyed.  Were they too late?  Was He Tian dead?  Fuck.  He ran to Cheng and tried to get him to look up.

"Cheng, I'm sorry...."  Qiu put his had on He Cheng trembling shoulder.

He Cheng was watching something on his phone, then he tossed it at Qiu with a shaky hand.  He cupped his face in his hands, the man was ruined.

"Cheng.....is he dead?  Do you need me to do anything....Cheng?"  Qiu's heart was breaking for his partner.

"Watch......". Cheng voice broke.

Qiu watched.  Once the whole thing played out and came to a horrifying end, he tore out of the room leaving Cheng to his grief.  Qiu flagged down a female doctor and urged her into one of the empty cubicles.

"The patient He Tian, does he live?  Where is his body?  I am a police officer, he came in here injured, he is very pertinent to my case.  Please keep your voice down, I want you to work quickly with me."  Qiu's voice was very low, he whispered in the woman's ear as he withdrew his police badge from the hidden compartment in his wallet.  He flashed it at the startled doctor.

"He is alive."  The woman nodded and stood closer so her voice could be heard by Qiu.

"I have reason to believe your patient was sexually assaulted, I need you to take all of his clothes/belongings and bag them up.  His attacker ejaculated on his face.  Please take swabs of his face, we need the DNA it's imperative,  Hurry!  I don't care if he's in surgery go and get the swabs, before someone washes his face!"  Qiu watched as the woman tore off towards the surgery admission reception.

If they got the swabs, then that evil bastard was going to prison forever.

Running back to the family room, he found He Cheng in the same position as he left him.  Shit, what was he going to say after seeing that footage?

"Tell me Cheng, did they say how his body is?"  Qiu sat close to his informant and put a reassuring hand on his thigh.

"Docs said he was unresponsive when they found him, he was dead in the ambulance but they managed to resuscitate him.  Qiu he fucking died, that asshole kicked him almost to death."  He Cheng voice shook with sorrow, tears ran down his cheek.  "They put him in a coma because his brain is bruised.  The doctor came back and said Tian would be in the  medically induced coma for about a week to allow him to heal.  He's in surgery to repair his spleen, his ribs are all fucked up, broken.  His back was beaten with a belt.   I'm going to kill him this time Qiu."  He Cheng's gaze was murderous.
