CHAPTER SIXTEEN

The rest of the week went quickly for Dean and the rest of the CERT team response crew. The word was getting out to their prospective patients that there was another resource to call for emergency medical assistance in the Unusual community. Dean could sense the relief among his patients and their families when he talked with them about their problems. He did what he could to help each of them, but was frustrated because most did not want to go to the hospital for fear it would draw The Cause’s attention to them or their families. He would need to come up with another solution that could bring more definitive care to them in their homes. He was only a single paramedic, and could only do so much for these people with his limited resources.

He was not able to even do lab tests like he had done before on the Station U ambulance. They had not been able to get him an iStat portable hand analyzer. There were no extra ones lying around. They were a new tool and were pretty expensive. He mentioned it, though, to Celeste on one of the meetings with her that week. The vampire assistant pulled out a tablet computer and looked something up, telling him she would see what she could do.

Ashley was trying to put together a group of nurses who were aware of the Unusual community and were willing to do some volunteer work on the side. She hoped they might go out and do home visits on the numerous chronically ill patients to try and take care of problems before they became emergencies. It was hard because of the volunteer nature of the work, and the fact that almost all of them were pulling extra shifts in the ER due to a shortage of qualified nursing staff. She promised him she would put something together, though it might take some time to get organized.

In the meantime, Dean and Gibbie and Marian were getting a real sense of teamwork going. He learned what he could rely on each of them to do on arrival at the scene, and they both asked good questions after each call to try to improve their efforts. He couldn’t ask for a better sense of professionalism from any paid EMS provider, and these were volunteers. Each response improved on their teamwork and patient care and Dean was pleased with the progress his team was making.

It was all going so well that Dean and the others started worrying about what The Cause was going to do in response. They had to know what the CERT team members were doing, even if they didn’t know everyone involved. In fact, Dean himself was the only one that Artur and the rest of The Cause knew about. That wouldn’t last, of course. The lack of a response from their opponents put Dean on edge. He and Ashley, along with James and Brynne sat down over dinner to discuss it and the possibilities for protecting the team when a problem did arise.
