There was a loud crash on the busy road. On impact, the cream air bags inflated with a bang and were stained with blood immediately.
Shocked by the sudden accident, the street fell instantly into chaos. The pedestrians and the vehicles in the road stopped moving and looked towards the crashed car. The ones who were nearby, soon crowded around the scene and started discussing the cause of the accident without bothering to check for survivors.
The truck driver was still in shock as he sat motionless in his truck, making no movements, nor trying to escape. One of the passers-by was one step ahead of the curious bystanders and bravely dived into the accident scene. He quickly walked to the wrecked car and knocked on the rolled up window. He cupped his hands on the window and pressed his face against the glass to see what was going on inside the car. He shouted desperately, "Are you okay? Can you hear me?"
Through the window, the man outside could only vaguely see Molly. Her face was buried in the bloody air bag, making it difficult to figure out where the blood was flowing from. She was not moving at all. Brian was covered in blood all over.
"Miss...Miss..." The person slammed hard on the window as he shouted, but there was no response from inside the car. No sound or movement. The man frowned anxiously. He stopped shouting and called the ambulance.
The ambulance arrived soon after, followed by a police car, their sirens wailing through the silent night. The paramedics railed in the scene from the crowded onlookers. The firefighters arrived at the scene too, just in case.
As the paramedics were trying to rescue Molly and Brian from the car, a policeman questioned the shaken truck driver. He noticed the skid marks on the road which led to the crashed car and thought, 'The speed of the car must have been at least 150 miles per hour.'
The firefighters had just cut open the car when Tony arrived, and Brian and Molly were being carried onto the stretchers. Tony took one look at their blood-drenched figures and all the color drained from his face.
"Send them to the Empire Hospital," Tony said to the paramedics, forcing himself to calm down.
The paramedics stopped moving and looked at him, confused. "Everyone engaged in the medical care system knows that the Empire Hospital doesn't admit emergency cases," one of the paramedics said to him.
"Just do what I say!" Tony ordered through clenched teeth, ready to punch him in the face if he argued again. "If anything happens to Mr. Brian Long just because you delayed his treatment, your entire family will be facing the consequence!"
When he heard Brian's name, a chill ran through the paramedic's spine and he moved quickly. He kept nodding as he got into the ambulance and gave the orders to transport the patients to the Empire Hospital.
The ambulance dashed off with the siren screaming. Tony was about to get into his car and follow the ambulance when a young policeman stopped him in his tracks.
