Chapter 2
Speed fell to the ground desperately grabbing at the place where he had just been stabbed. He could hardly see anything, could hardly breathe. He barely noticed as Stuart dragged a screaming Calleigh away from him by her hair. Her screams were muffled. He laid there nauseous and dizzy, barely able to stay conscious. He looked over at where Eric had fallen. His body was going into fits of spasms. Blood was everywhere, flowing down his neck like a waterfall of death. This snapped Speed back to reality. He slowly crawled over to Eric and noticed he was in an extremely critical condition. He didn’t know if his carotid artery had been severed. Speed carefully tore the bottom of his own shirt and carefully wrapped it around his best friend’s neck. Then, he unhooked his cell phone from his belt with a shaking hand, getting his and Eric’s blood all over his clothes, in the process.
‘What’s his number? Why can’t I remember it?’ Speed thought, frantically. Then, he remembered he had it stored in his cell phone. With the thought of losing his best friend, his memory was failing him. He felt as though it was his fault. He dialed Horatio’s number.
“Speed. What have you got for me?” came his anxious voice, noticing Speed’s number on his cell phone’s caller ID.
“H-Horatio… I failed… I’m so-sorry,” Speed replied in short breaths.
“Calm down. What do you mean, Speed? What are you trying to say?” Horatio wondered, not understanding Speed.
“Calleigh, he took her… Eric is bad.. His neck was - He was cut. There was nothing we could do… Th-they got away. He took her.. Eric is going to die.. There’s blood everywhere. He-he’s going into shock.. ” Speed said frantically, as Eric started convulsing.
“Speed, are you still at Calleigh’s?”
“Yes,” he groaned. “Hurry, H, I don’t think Eric is going to make it. Please just… hurry… I’m going to-- I have to sleep… I’ll be back.,” he said with a slur.
“No! Speed, you can’t go to sleep. You have to stay with me, bud. Where have you been injured?” Horatio questioned, trying desperately to keep Speed on the phone. “Valera, call the hospital and get helicopter rescue sent to Calleigh’s home. Now! Then, call Frank and tell him to meet me there, immediately,” he said to the young lab tech as he ran by her lab on the way to the Hummer.
“Y-yes, sir,” she stuttered, noting the fright in his voice. She speedily dialed 9-1-1 and told the dispatcher where to go.
Alexx Woods, M.E., was walking down the hall toward Horatio. Before she had much time to react, Horatio grabbed her arm and spun her around so that she was now running with him, saying, “I need you to come with me, now. The team is in trouble. They may need an M.E., but let’s pray they don’t.”
“What do you mean, the team’s in trouble? Baby, what are you talking about?” Alexx asked at Horatio’s reaction.
“There’s no time to explain now. You’ll see when we get there,” was all he said before he fully devoted his attention back to Speed. “Okay, are you still with me, Speed, I had to make a few arrangements to get you guys out of there. Are you still there? Speed! Where were you injured?”
Horatio and Alexx had reached the vehicle and climbed in. Horatio took off speeding down the road toward Calleigh’s house with the lights flashing and the siren blaring.
“I was stabbed… he stabbed me with a knife by my heart, H. The same knife that he used-that he used to get Eric… I don’t know his name.. I’m sorry, Horatio. This is all my fault,” Speed uttered.
“Okay, Speed, this is not your fault. This isn’t your fault, Speed. Okay?” There was no answer. “Speed! Stay with me, Speed! Stay with me, I’ll be there, bud. You have to stay with me though. Come on, Speed! Answer me!”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m here, H. Hurry.. Eric’s not doing so well,” groggily, he answered. Then, suddenly, “Calleigh! You have to find her!”
“Okay, okay. I’ll find her, Speed. I’ll find her. You just worry about you for right now. Okay? Can you do that for me, Speed?” he asked cautiously. After Speed answered with a shallow, yes. He continued, “There is a helicopter on the way over there to pick you and Eric up.”
“Yeah, I see it. It’s coming. I don’t need a helicopter, just take care of Eric, H-just him. I’ll be okay,” Speed croaked the words.
By now, Horatio and Alexx had arrived at their destination. Horatio jumped out of the Hummer and barreled over to his fallen comrades. Alexx paused only briefly to grab her kit to do what she could before the paramedics arrived. Horatio was amazed at how much blood he saw. Eric’s and Speed’s blood had slowly formed a puddle together. It made him sick to his stomach. He had seen a lot of blood like this before, but never thought he would be seeing this much blood of his close friends.
“Speed, buddy! Keep talking to me. Talk to me, Speed,” Horatio yelled as he ran over to check on his vitals. He had a very weak and slow pulse. “Oh, Speed.. Oh, man, I should have been here with you guys.. I should have been here,” said to quietly to himself.
“Horatio, you c-came. Take care of Eric, do him first,” Speed said as Horatio kneeled next to him, holding his head in his hands.
Alexx was feverishly cleaning and working on Eric, tears streaming down her face. “He’s not doing well at all Horatio. He barely has a pulse and his breathing is very shallow. The knife just nicked the carotid artery, making it potentially fatal. Where is that damn helicopter?” She screamed, still working on Eric.
Horatio stood up when Frank, Yelina and a few uniforms pulled in behind his vehicle. The police started blocking the road and putting tape up for the helicopter that was hovering in the air, waiting for the scene to be safe enough to land.
Yelina gasped as her hand flew to her mouth at the sight of the two men lying in Calleigh’s doorway.
“Jeez, Horatio, what the hell happened to your team?” Frank said worried, seeing Eric and Speed taken into the now landed helicopter by the paramedics. Alexx accompanied them on the way to the hospital.
“Alexx, you take care of my men. And you call me as soon as anything happens. I want to know the doctor on the case, their room numbers, their medicine, everything,” Horatio told her. As she climbed into the helicopter, she nodded. Then turned to the detective, “That, Frank, that is what we’re here to find out,” putting his sunglasses on.
