Andrew stood on the sidelines while everyone did their job. He watched them all maneuver, tending to the injured man and the very attractive whore on the bed. He felt out of place, almost like a third wheel. All the more reason to hurry up and get going. Once they returned to the Constable and everything was settled he and Adria could go. He was glad the Butcher had been caught, but only for his own selfish reasons.

Hutch appeared to have taken a more personal perspective on what happened here. Andrew grew immediately tense as he approached him. Not only could he not wait until he could leave with Adria, but he was simply dieing to get as far away from Hutch as possible. No man had ever made him as uneasy as he managed to.

Andrew found himself struggling with the words as Hutch spoke to him. "Uh... A Doctor," he replied simply. "She came on board just before we left. You'll have to ask Cooper if you want a more detailed answer than that." The answer came out more dismissively than he had intended. "Er, excuse me... ser," he said. Andrew parted from Hutch and made his way outside. He had to get away from him.

Once outside, Andrew removed a cigar from his container and shoved the box back into his pocket. He used a match to light it, then flicked it to the ground. The anger in his movement was clearly shown. He hated the way Hutch made him feel. It was nothing like the way Adria had an effect on him. This feeling intimidated him... made him feel as if he were a mere boy. His free hand (the other occupied by the cigar) clenched into a fist. Whether it be the fact that he was a high profile cop or not- Andrew hated him.

I waited for some sign from Bradford, didn't figure I'd get it. Closed up the transport and left him to be taken to Prison section of Med Center. The security was heavy, and he looked too blasted to be going anywhere.

My comm squawked as I flagged a vehicle for a ride,
"Who's that? Mac?"

"We got him."
I said if flat. Save one. Not bad, more really, his cycle would have started up again. "Bradfords locked up and on his way to the medjail. Two down in Lily's apartment, her and some John she was working."

"I'm on my way to Bradford's, we need to bag it up good and proper. This boy has to be in the permanent discard file. No cured or good behavior options."
That meant a lot of paperwork, make sure the prosecutors or examining doctors couldn't miss something, mess up, or decide on some other course of action that might benefit them and their career.

Cooper continues here.

< openings for Mac to chat back... I think...>

Eva kneeled next to Lily, noticing the amount of blood that soaked the bed. It was a lot.

“Her heart rate is weak, but fast. A little over 130 beats per minute. Her blood pressure is too low, we gotta get that up or we’ll lose her.”

Eva reached into her bag and grabbed a drug that when injected would constrict the main blood vessels and thus raise the blood pressure due to less space and less blood needed to get things moving. This also meant that she would start bleeding again, perhaps quickly.

“Get the restraints off, then place pressure here and here,” Eva ordered. “Then we need to get the incisions elevated above her heart.”

Hutch did as he was told and Eva managed to find enough pillows to awkwardly elevate Lily’s limbs. Further bleeding was minimal, but she still bled.

Eva looked up at Hutch, knowing what Lily meant to him. She figured that out the last time she had to administer life threatening medical care to her. He was scared. He was trying to hide it, but she could tell. She returned to her task.

“Come on Lily,” Eva whispered. “Breathe!”

Like on cue, Lily took her first breath. It was shallow, but it was still a breath. The constrictor was working. Her blood pressure was rising.

“It’s between a Class III and Class IV Hemorrage. Around 40% of blood loss. She’s in shock. She’s lucky if you can believe it, someone can die after losing 1/3 of of the body’s volume,” Eva told him. “We need to get her back to the Constable. NOW.”

Hutch nodded and clicked on his comm.

“I need a medivac sent to my position,” he ordered. He looked over to Yangtree and saw that he was still down. “I’ve got two to transport and I don’t care if you have to set the thing down in the middle of the street to do it.”

The shuttle was there lickety split and Hutch helped the medics and Eva get Lily into the medievac. Then he headed back in.

“We have a medivac ready. Let’s get Yangtree in there too,” he told Akira and Adria. Eva knew he wanted to go with them back to the Constable, but she knew that space would be at a premium and there would only be enough extra room for herself and Akira.

"I'm sorry Hutch," she explained. "No room. You can't come with us."

Hutch looked back into Lily's Flat as the medevac waited. Akira was still working on Rex. Adria was there to help. Hutch rushed back to their side.

"How's he doing?" Hutch asked Akira and Adria. "Medevac is here. We're going to take our people on the Constable. Better facilities. Need any help?"

Akira's bloodied hands fixed what she could, before looking up at the man before her. "He's stable enough to be moved, but I'm not strong enough to move him by myself. Just be careful enough to not disturb his wounds." She moved about quickly wrapping her tools and putting them back in her bag. She put her bag over her shoulder before carefully putting the wounded man's arm around her shoulder.

"Can you walk at all?"

Akira and Eva continue here.

Adria helped Akira tend the injured man as best she could. She let Akira answer Hutch's questions. She'd noticed Andrew exit the building a few minutes previously, and wondered where he'd gone off to. She hoped he hadn't run off on his own the way he had after they'd run into each other in the alley...and was surprised that the idea that he might have done just that bothered her. Now wasn't the time to ponder it, though.

Despite her own injuries, she moved to the other side of the man and got into position to help Akira move him when the signal was given...trying not to wince in pain. Adria was just too stubborn for her own good. Most people would be in a bed resting, but not Adria. She couldn't stand laying around doing nothing when there was work to be done.

There was air again, and someone helping him stand, "wub" he said.

They stood him up and his head started to spin, Yangtree started stepping forward or some direction he thought was forward. "leh, rah leh," His limbs started to ache as blood refreshed nerve endings and deprived cells. "i thig i blagged out."

Rex continues here.

Hutch
11/13/10

Hutch helped Adria get Akira and Yangtree onto the Medevac.

As he did, he made a quick introduction.

"Welcome aboard, I'm Captain Hutchins. You can call me Hutch," he said. "We'll get better introduced when we all get back to the ship."

He flashed her a weak smile, but his eyes fell upon Lily. And the pace in which Eva was working on her. The smile faded away and his chest actually hurt. The feeling of dread and pain swept through him, just like it did when he was younger.

He tore his eyes away and looked back at Akira.

"Well, see you shipside," he told her. "I know our patients will be in good hands with you and Eva."

At least he hoped so. He knew Eva, but he didn't know Akira at all. He hadn't even read her jacket yet. But he had a good feeling about her. Felt it deep in his bones.

He also knew he needed to get off the Medevac.

"Keep me updated."

His gaze drifted back to Eva and Lily.

"I have to go," he said softly, then turned and left.

Hutch continues here.
Adria continues here.
