Brie navigated the screaming ambulance up the hill, cars scattering in front of her. Sean checked his seat belt and held on, molded to the seat.

“We’re almost there, Brie.”

“Check the address again. I haven’t seen a fire truck or a cop, and we had the farthest to go.”

“They probably used the freeway,” he said.

Brie grinned when she saw that his eyes were closed. It was her first time driving the ambulance on a real call and she careened around a corner. They were lifted out of their seats as they topped a sharp hill and Brie hiccupped as they hit bottom. She’d get them there safely.

“There it is,” Brie said, hitting the brakes and angling the ambulance to block the road.

Two cars were in shambles in the middle of a busy surface road and they saw a third, off to the side in a ditch. An ambulance, two fire trucks, and the police were already there and everyone was out on the road. Brie and Sean grabbed equipment, going toward the mess on the pavement.

“Brie.” She turned to see Vet running from the first ambulance toward her. “You and Sean take the car in the ditch. Stay away from here.” Brie changed direction and adjusted the backboard in her hand. The car engine was steaming. She leaned in and turned the ignition off. An elderly lady lay quietly across the seat of the older model car, eyes closed. Her seat belt held her in an awkward position and Brie bent quickly to her face and chest, catching a whiff of an old-fashioned sachet. A narrow line of blood laced across the woman’s face and she had a good-sized bruise on her forehead. A cut intersected the skin. Brie checked the victim’s neck alignment and spoke clearly. “Are you all right? Can you hear me?” Two firemen finished stabilizing the car with wood blocks and one leaned in with a questioning look at Brie. She nodded an okay at him.

“What happened?” The woman’s words were faint and reedy.

“I think you were run off the road,” Brie said reassuringly as Sean began to take vitals.

“Brie, Sean,” Vet yelled across the road, “how many?”

Sean held up one finger, indicating the single victim as Brie continued talking to the woman, gathering information. The woman was alert but they checked her again before they eased the board underneath her body. They prepared to transport and Brie noticed that Vet was still there. She looked at the crashed cars and knew it was serious. Brie pulled the rig carefully away from the scene.
