Twenty Five - Watching Over You
David had some inkling as to what was happening.
Terrance Hart was being pulled out of a Spanish Villa on a stretcher and being rushed into an ambulance, a team of medical staff surrounding him.
He clicked a few more pictures before adjusting his phone's lens to get a close up of the girl that wouldn't seem to let his hand go.
Her blonde streaky hair stuck to her face and her thigh and arm were encrusted in blood.
He was about to snap a picture of her before someone closed the door of the hospital van.
Damnit.
All he had we're blurry appetizers. He needed to get a close up. His editors would be psyched to get a scoop like this.
Hell he could sell these pictures to Women's Magazine and be well rewarded for all his trouble.
Thank goodness he'd been passing by when he'd heard the van blow up.
All of this shuffling around and numb bottoms were worth it.
He jumped up and sneaked out the property the way he'd sneaked in.
He tailed the ambulance from two or three cars away.
He held his phone in his free hand and snapped some more pictures.
Suddenly an armoured truck blocked his view.
Damnit.
He tried to look over it but he couldn't and the traffic wasn't helping.
A few seconds later he was ten cars behind the ambulance-or at least he thought he was.
He horned and pushed forward until he no longer could. Fate was against him. There were now fifteen cars between him and the ambulance. He looked out the window. The stoplight had turned red.
The ambulance had it's lights on, obviously.
But there were two cars ahead of it. It had to wait.
Luckily for Mr. Hart, this was a fast light.
Unluckily for him, it changed to red just as fast.
He only had a thirty second window to make it.
He needed to find out which hospital Hart was going to be at.
He mumbled incoherent curses.
The light turned green.
He stepped on the gas and beeped his horn.
But the traffic took it's time to move up.
Two cars swereved passed the light, then the ambulance did.
The rest of the cars moved more slowly. He kept horning, ignore the curses being thrown at him.
When the traffic cleared he slammed the accelerator and drove towards the lights.
He watched them, praying, praying they wouldn't turn.
Five seconds. Five cars.
Two seconds, three cars.
And he passed the light just as it turned yellow.
He kept driving, his eyes searching for those familiar blue and red lights.
But they were nowhere to be found.
And soon enough, its trusty mind numbing whirr died out as well.
