Chapter 6 Too Many Doctors Not Enough Nurses

"You have got to be kidding me." Parker said, and turned around to the door when Bomani popped in. Parker jumped letting out a small scream, and then slapping pushing him lightly, "Christ you scared the shit out of me." She brushed her hands through her hair and looked over at me, as if to say can you believe this freak.

"We need help." Bomani stammered, gasping for air.

I looked over at Kevin, "I'll be fine just go." he said waving me away. I nodded.

"Yeah, we'll be fine." Iyari added.

"Aaron go, I'll watch them." I followed Bomani to the H.O.S.A. room, where he started grabbing text books and gauze into a cart he had grabbed from the library.

"What are we looking for?" I asked.

"Anything we can use to seal up her wound and stop the bleeding." he said throwing in a stack of generic brown paper towels. I went under the sink and piled a few packs of them into the cart. Bomani started to roll it out of the room and into the hall, I raced ahead of him and got to the cafeteria first swinging open the doors and keeping them open for him and the cart. We walked over to Mrs. Depkin, a pole sticking through her stomach.

"Holy shit." I gasped, "Mrs. Depkin, oh my god are you okay?" I stuttered.

"She can't talk Aaron, and I need you to be quiet." Mallory said placing her hands on the pipe.

"What are you doing?" I asked, walking toward her.

"I'm pulling the pole out of her." she said, "Warren, Scotty I need you guys to hold her down." Warren walked over to his mother's feet and held ankle with each hand, while Scotty was at her shoulders.

"Dios Mio," Isabella said, as her husband held her in his arms, "There has to being another way." she whispered. I was shaking.

"There isn't, okay." Mallory snapped, "Look if there was I wouldn't be doing this but there isn't. We leave the pipe in her she dies. We take it out stop the bleeding some how seal the wound, she stands a chance." Mallory took a deep breath, looked over at Bomani. "Did you get the books?" he nodded riffling through the cart for the book he had tossed in there earlier, "look up any thing that can help us. Get the towels ready, Lacheya when I pull the pipe out I need you to put pressure on the wound." Lacheya nodded and knelt down across from Mallory. "One," my heart was beating fast, "Two," Mallory's grip tightened.

"I won't have no part in this." Isabella broke away from Alessandro and left the cafeteria with her husband following her.

Mallory shook her head, "Three!" she pulled the pole straight up and out. Mrs. Depkin tried to sit up and kick all at once screaming in pain, Lacheya grabbed the paper towels and started to apply pressure. Blood oozed out of her, and I could hear Isabella screaming in the hall. George was now trying to apply pressure along with Mallory and Lacheya. "No! Just apply the pressure over her wound! Over it!" Mallory was screaming as George had his hands on her stomach.

"It's a hole straight through her how do we stop the bleeding?" Lacheya asked. Everyone looked over at Bomani as Isabella continued to scream from the hall. He was panicking flipping through the pages quickly barely glancing them over. George started to stuff the paper towels into her.

"What are you doing? Just apply pressure!" Mallory shouted trying to pull the paper towels from her body. Mrs. Depkin's screams intensified, and she was thrashing even more now.

"Mom! Mom! We need you to stay still!" Scotty was screaming over her and the others. Blood started to sputter from her mouth, as Isabella screamed louder from the hall.

"Aaron go out there and shut her up!" Mallory ordered. I ran over to the hall as Isabella was being held down by two strangers that had gotten in from outside and Alessandro was dealing with three of his own. I ran over to Alessandro and pulled one of them off of him, and onto Isabella knocking her two away from her. Isabella ran over to her husband's aid and grabbed the hair of a woman attacking him and dragged her away from him. Alessandro kicked the final one off him. Who took off toward the entrance of the school where Iyari, Parker, and Kevin were. I grabbed a fire extinguisher off the wall and threw it to Alessandro. He pulled the pin and sprayed it's contents creating a small fog. I heard him throw it to the ground as I sped to follow the other one. He was already at the nurse's station and battling to open the door with Iyari and Parker. I flew through the air and tackled him to the floor. Parker scurried out of the room and closed the door. Their attacker was on top of me and his hands squeezing me head, I felt as if it might pop like a grape any second, I heard a crash, and then he was off me. I stood up, watching Parker bludget him in the head with a trophy from the trophy case she had busted open. Her hand covered in blood she stopped, and looked over at me.

"Are you okay?" I nodded.

"Get back inside, there are more." I said and took a trophy of my own, as I sprinted toward the caf. I could see that they had gotten into the cafeteria and I picked up speed. When I got there Isabella and Alessandro were double teaming one of the crazed people and Lacheya was pinned on the salad bar, George had picked up the pipe that had gone through Mrs. Depkin and was keeping one at bay though he was being cornered. One of them was on top of Mallory and Warren was trying to get him off of her, while Scotty was holding his mother down as she continued to convulse. I heard Lacheya yell out in pain and I ran to her aid. Her legs kicking wildly as he tried to hold her hands down. I slammed the trophy into his head. He was jarred, and I hit him again. He got off her, and started toward me, Lacheya grabbed one of the serving trays and hit him on the head. I swung the trophy at his face. Teeth fell out of his mouth and onto the ground. The toothless man pushed me to the floor, the pipe that George had been thrashing around was suddenly at my feet. I grabbed it and drove it through my attacker's gut. Lacheya moved to the left and then ran over to George, who was being beaten very badly. I looked over at Alessandro and Isabella who were now holding one another and Mallory was back over by Mrs. Depkin who was by the looks of things very much dead. Lacheya bashed George's attacker's head into the wall until it crunched.
