He could hear Hope crying in the distance.

He could hear Billy talking nonsense to her.

He could hear Susan singing, ‘The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round,’ to Jeremy.

What he couldn’t fucking hear, was Caroline taking an easy breath. No, each time she breathed in, it was a fucking struggle.

He tilted her up, trying to help her find a more comfortable position. Trying to do any goddamn thing that would make it better.

The phone rang, and Abe answered it. Wolf watched his face. He nodded. “I’ll be right there.”

He bent down and put his face right next to Caroline’s. “You hang in there, Ice. I’ll be right back with the guys, and we’ll get you out of here.”

Abe clapped Wolf’s shoulder, then climbed over the fallen seat next to him.

Wolf winced as the train moved. He tried to keep Caroline still, but she moaned in pain despite his best efforts. He hated this. Why couldn’t he have been the one who had been injured? He looked at the luminous dial of his watch. It had been thirty-six minutes since the crash. That could be the difference between life and death if she had internal bleeding. They had to get her to the trauma center at Palomar.

Wolf heard his teammates as they cleared the path of the downed seats and debris. Mozart, Dude and Abe reassured people that they would be back for them as soon as they got the most critically injured people off the train. He looked up and saw that Mozart and Abe were holding a spinal board instead of a stretcher. It made sense. They needed to keep Ice as immobilized as possible as they took her off the rail car.

Abe had given her something for the pain before he had left. He hadn’t wanted to give her too much, because her breathing was labored.

They set the board down beside Caroline. The four of them all picked her up carefully, so that every part of her body was supported, and placed her on the board. Quickly, Abe and Wolf strapped her in.

“Matthew?” Caroline whispered.

“I’m here, baby.” Wolf placed a tender kiss on her forehead, then picked up the board near her head, while Abe grabbed the other end. Mozart and Dude led the way towards the fucked-up staircase. It no longer looked like the stairs he and Caroline had used to get on the train, but because the train was on its side, it looked like a sideways ladder. Mozart went first, then Dude, carefully sliding the board along the stairs so that the men soon had her safely off the train.

Wolf jumped off behind them. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing when he got off. It was mayhem. He had to jump over cables that were attached to the Humvees that the Marines were using to secure the train from tumbling down the side of the cliff. Then, to the right, he saw men and women using fire extinguishers to put out a fire on the power car.
