Chapter Fourteen

Abby

Abby woke up to the wail of a siren in the distance. Eyes closed, she heard it grow louder and louder, signaling a fast approach. The sound blared in her ears until it suddenly stopped. After a minute, she heard frantic knocking on her driver’s side window. The knocking competed with the throbbing in her head, making her groan. Who was making all that racket and why wouldn’t they leave her alone? She just wanted to go back to sleep.

“Miss, can you hear me?” A male voice called out to her. “Can you open the door?”

Huh? What door? And why did her lips feel like they were coated with powdered sugar from a donut? She opened her mouth to ask the man what was going on but gagged at the bitter taste on her tongue. Grimacing, she lifted her lashes and spotted a puffy white cushion against her torso. That’s when she remembered—she’d rammed into the car in front of her. Oh, could her day get any worse? But, she reasoned with herself, she was still alive and well, even if her car wasn’t. That was reason enough to thank God … before she asked for His help. She most certainly needed some divine intervention.

Abby turned to her left and spotted a man dressed in a dark uniform. She assumed from the bright yellow helmet on his head he was a firefighter. At his urging, she unlocked the door and pushed it open. Her lungs welcomed the air outside even though it was laced with exhaust fumes. She squeezed past the airbag and practically fell into his arms. The shock of what had happened suddenly hit her. Hot tears welled in her eyes as she clung onto him.

“You’re safe now, Miss. Let’s get you checked out.”

She squinted, suddenly realizing how blurry the scene appeared. She must’ve lost her glasses when the airbag exploded. Leaning on the firefighter for support, Abby let him lead her to the side of the highway where two ambulances, along with a fire truck, were parked. Several police officers were on hand, placing flares on the ground and directing traffic. She noticed a couple of vehicles lined up in front of and behind her car, their bumpers all damaged. Obviously, there had been a domino effect at play, which meant she likely wasn’t the one to blame for the accident. The thought gave her some comfort. At least her insurance premium wouldn’t increase.

Near the side of the fire truck, the firefighter handed Abby off to his colleague in a similar-looking uniform. “This is Lieutenant Spark. You’ll be in good hands with him.”

“Hello, Miss.” The tall young man greeted her with a smile, then gasped. “I’m sorry, what did you say your name was?”

Abby grimaced. Maybe she looked as horrible as she felt. “What is it? Do I look bad?”

“No, not at all. Please have a seat.” He stared at her for an extra beat before helping her onto the stretcher which extended from the side of the truck.
