CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

Ten days earlier

Jorgo’s cousin Adis sped through every red light on rue Cortambert while Jorgo continued to bleed profusely all over the front seat of the car.

“Faster, motherfucker! I’m bleeding to fucking death here!” Jorgo screamed.

Their other friend, Melos, was in the back seat nursing his own wounds, whining, “I can’t feel my arm! The fucker stabbed me in my fucking armpit. I think he severed some tendon or some shit. I can’t even move it.”

Jorgo replied, “Fuck your arm, pussy! I’m about to fucking die. I’ll tell you what. That fucking bitch and her entire family are dead! So fucking dead!” Turning to Adis, he yelled, “Run the light. Run it! Run it!”

Two minutes later Adis launched the car up on the curb in front of the hospital, and ran into the emergency entrance screaming, “I need a doctor! A man’s been shot and is bleeding to death! Hurry!”

From behind every curtain and corner of the hospital within earshot, doctors and nurses came running. Two of them grabbed a stretcher and together they loaded Jorgo onto it while one of the male doctors applied pressure to the wounds in his crotch, as he screamed in pain.

They had just arrived at the doorway to an operating room when the lights went out. Jorgo yelled, “What the fuck?!”

One of the doctors replied, “It’s okay. The backup lights will come on right away.”

But the backup lights did not come on.

Everyone stopped for a moment and looked at each other in confusion. No one had ever seen a scenario where the emergency generator did not kick in and provide basic electricity.

Finally, the senior attending physician yelled at the others, “Forget the lights! We don’t need them. We have to stop the hemorrhaging now! Slide the gurney over to the window. We can use the sunlight from outside. Get his pants off! Jean-Pierre, scrub in! Céline, get me two liters of O-positive blood—stat! Let’s go, people. Let’s go!”
