Chapter 9

Sounds coalesced into agony while my brain redirected toward my one point of focus. William. I couldn’t black out now. William needed me.

I fought for awareness and struggled, my body aching, my brain pushing past it. It was then I realized I was surrounded by growling, protective Dobermans. Fred and his pals would not let anyone near me. One of the animals was still in the pen, harassing the bull. They were thorough.

“Fred!” It sounded like Adam. “Fred, damn it—no, Smit! Don’t advance on them.” It sounded like he was yelling at someone across me. “These dogs will attack if you advance.”

“Jess, call Fred off!” That was Lump.

My head was foggy. It was trying to shut down because of the pain.

I bit my lip and willed more strength. “Fred, no.”

His growl stopped immediately. A big dog head come into view. One by one, the other dogs stopped growling as well. Another dog head. Then two tongues.

“Go on, now!” I yelled. I wasn’t in the mood for kisses. Ginger left immediately, but Fred lingered. “GO!”

I heard someone yelling for everyone to get back. I also heard sirens.

Good, an ambulance would come for William.

“Jess! Jess, are you okay?” Lump was yelling down at me. She wasted no time pushing Fred away now that she could.

“How’s William?” I begged.

“William is being looked after. Are you okay? That bull looked like it got you.”

“Yeah, that fucker. My shoulder is on fire and my boob hurts. Well, under my boob. How is William?”

“Would you idiots get back?” Lump roared. Her direction was instantly acted upon. “I need more light. I can’t see what I’m looking at. And someone get her a shirt!”

Lump was a good person to have in this situation. She had no problem taking control, always knew what to do, and because of that, everyone had no problem letting her lead.

A lantern of some sort was brought. A second later a truck rumbled up, its headlight raining light down on the scene.

“Holy fuck,” Lump muttered. “Okay, Jessica, we’ll get this fixed up in no time, okay?”

She looked around her. “Where’s Adam? I need him.”

Someone shouted that he was getting William loaded onto a stretcher.

“Oh God, oh God. He has to get on a stretcher?” I felt sick to my stomach. “Is he okay? I want to go with him. Lump, fix me or let me up. I want to go with him!” I screamed.

“GET ADAM!” Lump yelled. “Now Jess,” Lump kneeled down to me with soft, calm eyes. “You won’t get far if I don’t put that shoulder in place. Then we have to see if you have anything else wrong that will prevent you from walking.”

“Lump, I want to go with William! I will fight you if I have to. Surely that will make me worse, right? Fix me and get me to William, damn it!”

She sighed and just about screamed for Adam again when he arrived.

“Jessica you moron! What the fu—Oh no, Jess. What have you done?” Adam’s voice sounded like I slit my wrists.
