Chapter Nine – Six Days of Waiting

The car that hit Max appeared to come from nowhere. He was still sitting on his motorbike waiting for a gap in the traffic when the open top BMW 3 series roared into Max’s side and sent him flying into the air. Max landed on another car about ten metres away. The driver of the car had smashed through his windscreen and was lying motionless on the car bonnet.

There was the loud sound of a police siren and within moments a squad car with flashing lights and blaring sirens was on the spot. Two uniformed police officers jumped out of the squad car. One ran to the BMW to see if the driver was OK. He was covered in blood with his head at a dreadful angle to his body, he was obviously dead. The other officer ran over to Max who lay motionless, hanging over the side of a parked car. Max’s legs were twisted and smashed. He was bleeding from the back of his head and he was not conscious. He lay there very still.

“This one is breathing just about!” The police officer shouted over to his colleague. The other policeman was on his radio asking for an ambulance and further assistance. All of this happened in a time period of about ten seconds.

Watching the events from the top of the steps of their house Aaron, Cora and Clair stood in shock at the event unfolding. Clair immediately screamed “Noooooooo!” at the top of her voice. She ran down the five stairs towards Max and her parents followed very closely behind her. They were at Max’s side just after the policemen got there. Something about the way Max lay there stopped Clair in her tracks. She didn’t know what to do and how to touch him. But she so wanted to touch Max and make things better. She turned with a heart wrenching wail to hug Cora. Clair looked back at Max’s broken body on a few occasions in the next five minutes but couldn’t move away from her mum’s arms. She looked over to her dad who was trying to move Max’s wild hair away from his face.

“Is there anything I can do, officer?” He asked one of the policemen.

“The ambulance will be here within the next two minutes.” The policeman replied.

The ambulance arrived as promised. The paramedics split up as they checked the two victims of the crash. They quickly moved over to Max who still showed some signs of life. A second and third ambulance appeared and the BMW driver’s body was quickly removed. It took ten minutes for the paramedics to prepare and move Max’s broken body into the ambulance.

“Do you know the victim?” The second policeman asked Aaron, Cora and Clair.

“He’s a friend of…” Clair couldn’t finish her sentence. She cried again into Cora’s body.

“I’ll come with the ambulance, officer. Where are we going?” Aaron took control of the situation.

Aaron turned to Cora and Clair.

“Go and get his sister.
