Jake couldnt see. So much was happening. Was he sliding off the holder? There was definitely gunfire he could hear that much. Was this the time of death? He hadnt even be able to shoot, only run, but even he wasn't fast enough to escape plasma.
"Get him to the military hospital its over there" He heard someone call. The Captain? He was still alive. Not even hell could hurt this much
He was moving. There were vibrations but the earth wasn't the one being carried. This was the time where either he would live or die. 'Damn. I didnt even get to write that final letter to Susie' Was that all he could manage? That was ll the sorrow he could think? It wasn't supposed to be like this. He was going into the marines to earn money for marriage. Her father wouldnt think anything of him if he didnt have money. And now he was going to die on some God foresaken planet lightyears away from home and no one would ever know.
"Doctor something is happening!" someone, a woman? said.
"This is war something always happens" said another voice. Both of them , as far a Jake could tell, were women.
"Yes i noticed but theres something wrong with the patient!"
"Well lets see he's been shot thats about as wrong as it could get" said the Surgeon yelling at the other person.
"I know but for some reason there isn't much blood loss he seems to be dying on his own"
There was some shuffling and a clipboard pen was writing somewhere. This was the most horrible experience Jake would ever know. And it was his last.
Jake managed to sit up as best he could and faced the person that he could here.
"Can you fix me or not?" He said in a low grumbling voice. It was the best he could manage, blood had gotten into his throat.
"We're going to try but-" The person ,whoever it might have been, was cut off by a high pitched and continuous beep. Jake looked over to the side of the hastily constructed bed and saw that the machine that told heart rates was drawing a straight line. What is that? Apparently his brain was damaged. Couldnt be as much as his body. Not by a long shot.
Jake used as much strength as he could to reach for his pistol. But even that was far away to him. He brushed against the handle. He pulled it out and using the rest of his strength pointed it at the unnamed machine. He fired as accuratly as he could but he didnt hear the sound of electronics being destroyed. He had missed! That was perfect his last final act of defiance had been thwarted. He couldnt stay awake. He passed out and let his pistol drop form his hand.
Outside the Blockade Hospital
Alex Melnichov stood there. That was all he could do, he wasn't a surgeon. But he couldnt just stand there forever. He walked into the hospital and saw piles of bodies being carried on a stretcher to the morgue. There was blood and doctors everywhere. Many scrambled. He walked up to the counter and faced the receptionist.
"umm. I need to check on a patient" He said. Nervousness consumed him.
"Well im sorry but with the patients their either in extreme condition or.." She looked at the stretcher. She didnt need to explain.
Alex was about to argue when a hot doctor passed through. He couldnt help himself.
"Im sorry miss but are you tired" thats the best he could come up with in the conditions.
[indent"Yes but no im not attracted to you. I have to get to my patient"
"Well may I ask who is taking this time?"
"Private Jake Miller from C Company"
Alex was stunned. This was his lucky day, when he can hit on a Doctor and find his squad mate at the sametime.
"Umm not that I care but is he alright?"
"So far but he's in critical condition. Get this he tried to shoot you know that heart rate machine?"
"Yeah whats that called?"
"I have no idea but when he shot it, it turned out to be a Covenant Elite that unplugged the heart rate monitor. Like he was trying to kill him. Weird isn't it?"
"That is fascinating. Seriously thank you tell the guy I said good job" Alex said relived.
"I will" And with that the surgeon walked away.
"Alex stood there for a while. It was unbelievable. After he was tired of surgeons telling him to move he finally went to report it to Captain Foster.
