Chapter Five

Dylan finished the last of his taco before bal ing the greasy wrapping up and throwing it into the plastic bag they were using as garbage. While the rig

came equipped with a smal trashcan, he and Lisa had been so busy, neither of them had bothered to empty it. As a result, it overflowed with empty

bottles, tissues and candy wrappers.

The pre-holiday rush just hadn't been limited to the stores and mal . The mess spil ed over and now the ambulance crews and hospitals were

overwhelmed with accidents, heart attacks, strokes, low blood sugar and various other cal s.

"Is this day from hel over yet?" Lisa asked from the passenger seat as she finished off her own dinner.

Even with as greasy and unappealing as the food had been, Dylan stil considered it good fortune that they'd managed to eat it al in one sitting without

having yet another cal interrupting them.

"We have another hour," he glanced at the clock on the radio.

He'd be wil ing to bet his favorite stethoscope that they'd be on for much longer though. There was no way in hel they'd make it through the next sixty

minutes without getting another cal . Then they'd be stuck until they treated and transported the patient. After that would be the paperwork and cleaning of

the rig before they could final y clock out.

She made a hissing noise through clenched teeth before declaring, "We're about to get a long, drawn out car accident cal . I can just feel it."

Most EMS workers were at the very least a little superstitious and Dylan wasn't about to buck the trend. He let out a low curse. "Great, you just jinxed us.

Now we'l get on for sure."

"Sorry," she sang out in that Lisa patented airhead tone of hers.

For the mil ionth time, Dylan wished for his old partner, Sue, back. While Lisa was sweet and everything, she had the intel igence and attention span of a

gnat at times. Sometimes Dylan wondered how she even managed to keep her job. There was a good reason why he drove to the cal s, but she had to

drive once they got the patient in the back. To say Lisa didn't have the best medic skil s would be a vast under tel ing.

That didn't mean her driving skil s were any better. In the short time they'd been partnered together, she's hit three poles, two parked cars and one very

unfortunate squirrel. Not that most drivers hadn't committed vehicular squirrel-cide at one time or another, but she'd been the only one who managed to do

so while the animal had stil been in a tree.

When the radio crackled to life and dispatch hailed their rig number, he shot her his filthiest I-told-you-notto-fuck-with-the-fates look. "This is Alpha-245."

"Be advised you have a priority one cal . It's a multiple causality MVA with possible injuries at the 175-north 475 split. Fire and police are already

enroute."

Dylan had to resist the urge to beat his head against the dash in anger. MVA stood for Motor Vehicle Accident.
