| " An Angel From Heaven"' By Spanky Part: Two Rated: NC-17 Content Warning: Nove Authors Notes: None Previously: Johnny takes Match maker quiz ......... As Johnny drove home he couldn't help but watch his surrounding.Seeing people fighting in the streets and prostitutes standing on the corner waiting for there next meal while hearing the police sirens roaring in the back ground."Yeah. I guess they're right there's no Angels here."Johnny said under his breath feeling emptier then he ever did before. "Maybe I should just give up and move back to Montana". Johnny added as he pulled into his apartment complex. He climbed out of his Land Rover at his Apartment complex then walked over to the mail boxes to check his mail.Nothing but junk mail,he thought while heading to his apartment. He walked into his apartment,shutting and locking the door behind him. Man this place is quiet, but what do you exspect when you live alone, Johnny thought. Boy do I need a shower, after all I did help a man out of a toilet today, he thought heading to the bathroom laughing at himself. After his shower he walked into the living room and turned on the TV hoping to find something to watch. Nothing , he thought flipping through the channels for the last time. He finally gave up and turned off the TV.Johnny then leaned back on the couch to rest his eyes. Man, this place is it to quiet, he thought hearing the clock ticking from the other side of the room. Maybe some music would help, He thought getting up and walking to the stereo sitting in the corner. As the music killed the silence,He decided it was time for supper. After he finished eating,He put his empty TV dinner tray in the trash and his empty glass in the sink. Now what, he thought walking back to the table. As he looked around the table He spotted the morning paper. As he flipped through it, he spotted the same Aunt Helens quiz that Chet suckered him into taking earlier. Johnny then decided to take it again, but this time he was going to put differant answers.After he was through he checked the results. "That idiot, these are the results I got earlier,I told him it wouldn't work." He said to himself while coming to the crossword puzzle. I guess I'll work this,after all there's not much else to do. He thought picking up a pencil. Before he knew it, it was past 11:30.No wonder I'm sleepy, he thought looking over at the clock. After he turned off the lights and stereo he headed down the dark hallway that led to his bedroom. As he got undressed and then climbed into bed, he couldn't help but think about Roy and how lucky he was to have a loving wife and children to go home to.Adding to his thoughts he thought of his home back in Mantana and how much he missed his mother and father and the simple life he left behind. As Johnny layed there he prayed "God please send me my blue eyed Angel." Johnny knew that deep in his heart that moving back to Montana was far better then being alone in LA. . ......... Johnny woke up to the sound of his alarm clock in his ears. He quickly got up and headed to the bathroom, then headed to the kitchen to fix a pot of coffee and get some breakfast. After he was through he walked back to the bedroom to get ready for yet another long shift at the station,Working twenty four hours with Chet is a little hard for anyone to look forward too, Still it was better then being here alone,He thought as he finished getting ready . As he walked to his Land Rover he noticed his neighbors Mr.and Mrs. Rogers. She was in her bath robe and he was in a suit .As Johnny past them on the side walk he couldn't help but over hear them as they told each other goodbye. "I'll be home at 5:30." Mr. Rogers said holding his wife close. "Okay sweetheart, you be carefull and I'll see you tonight ,I love you." She replied hugging and kissing her husband . Now that would be nice to have some one care like that for me, Johnny thought to himself climbing in his Land Rover. Yep it sure would be nice,He thought again turning over the engine .............. "Good morning." Johnny said walking into the station greeting his partner. "Morning ,you look like your in a better mood today." "Yeah, I am in a better mood this morning." "Well I'm glad to here that." "I feel so good today, not even Chet is going to bug me." Johnny added taking a sip of his coffee. "Bug who, you Gage?"Chet asked entering the kitchen followed by Lopez and Stoker." Boy that hurts, that really hurts." Chet continued walking up to Johnny standing at the sink. "Now look here,Kelly." Johnny started. "Okay that's enough, can't we have a quiet day without you two bickering back and forth, some of us get kind of tired of hearing it you know?" Roy enterupted. stepping between his two co workers. "Sure thing." They agreed. "Becides It don't matter ,like I said today's going to be a good day cause I think I figured out what I got to do." "Oh yeah what, learn to tie your shoes."Chet remarked "Nope but thats a good one Chet, no I finally figured out that the best thing for me is to move back to Montana."Johnny added taking a seat at the table then scanning the room looking at the stund faces of his friends. "You're really serious about that,arent you."Roy said "You bet I am." "But why?" Roy asked "Roy. Last night when I was driving home I witnessed six crimes being committed right under my nose, at that point I realized it's no use I'm just not happy." "Hey what's up."Stanley asked walking to the coffee pot." "Nothing just Gage here just shocked us by saying he's moving back to Montana."Chet announced "Gage is this true?" "Yeah Cap, I'm afraid it is. You can exspect my resignation by the end of the week ."Johnny said walking out of the room As the day wore on, the guys didn't know quiet what to say to Johnny about his plans. Roy however, knew that his partner was dead serious and somehow he had to find the right words to change his mind.. It was 6:00 o'clock in the evening and the men had just sat down to eat some of Marco's hot chili, when the Klaxons sounded. " Station 51,Truck, 18 Engine16,Station 8, and batalion 14,.six cars involved in a major collision with injuries and possible fatalities, at the Sanamonica overpass just off the Sunset Blvd exit. Ambulances are responding, time out 18:20." Captain Stanley responded "KMG 365" ............. When they arrive at the scene, there were cars everywhere."Man this looks real bad." Johnny said under his breath. "It sure does." Roy agreed looking at the heaps of metal that surrounded them. "How can anyone survive this?"Johnny asked. "I don't know."Roy replied taking a deep breath and swallowing hard. They climbed out of the squad and started grabbing the equiptment out of the side compartments, before heading to the wreck in search of survivers. "What do ya got Roy?" Johnny asked looking over at his partner. "The people in the blue van are dead." Roy answered pointing to a blue pile of metal. "So are the people in the Station Wagon." Johnny announced. "We have two victims in the green Mustang,A lady and a small child,They're hurt bad but they're a live." Roy explained. After all the cars had been checked,Roy and John loaded the last victim in the ambulance. As Roy and Johnny put the Equipment back in the squad, They noticed a man sitting in the back seat of a police car. "Hey Roy, I wonder what that's about?"Johnny asked shutting the side compartment door. "I don't know, come on lets check it out." Roy suggested "Do you know what caused the wreck?" Roy asked looking at Officer Howard. "Yep sure do, it seems Mr. Miller had a few to many then decided to get behind the wheel." Howard replied pointing to the man in the back seat. "Doesn't it make you sick,We have 13 victims involved, 11 of which are dead,We have a woman who may never walk again,And her son may not even make it to the hospital.Then we have the man responsible right here and he came through without a scratch." Roy explained looking at the man. "Yeah, you're right Roy, It does make you sick to see all the victims whose lives were cut short all because of someone didn't stop to think or didn't care enough before getting behind the wheel. Do you see now why I need to get out of LA?" Johnny replied putting his arm around his partner to try to confort him "Yeah I do, I'd want to go back home too except I was born and raised here this is the only life I know." Suddenly a woman started screaming and pointing down the embankment. Roy and Johnny both looked at each other then ran over to the woman to see what was wrong."Calm down, just calm down."Johnny said grabbing the woman's arms to try to stop her from shaking. "What's the problem Ms, are you hurt, what's wrong?"Roy asked while Johnny held her arms to try to calm her. "No There,there." She cried looking up at the man who was holding her arms. "Where?"Johnny asked. "Down there."She cried turning her attention down the embankment. Both Roy and Johnny looked down the embankment to find a car with it's top almost completely smashed in. Roy immediately got out the Handy Talky and began to speak into it. "Ht 51,to Engine 51, do you copy?" "Ht 51,this is Engine 51, we copy." Captain replied. "Cap,we have another possible victim, about three hundred feet down the embankment, we need some assistance, we're about 100 yards from your location." "10-4 HT 51, we are responding." .....Meanwhile...... \ Johnny climbed down the embankment to where the car was resting. "Hello can you hear me?" Johnny asked being carefull not to get to close to the car. Getting no reply he peeked through the side window and seeing movement he said "Okay, hold on , I'll be back in a minute." Johnny then made his way back up to where the other guys were waiting. "What do you got down there?"Captain asked. "Well Cap, it appears we have a least one victim, I couldn't tell the extent of the injuries but I did see movement , now the car is very unstable,one wrong move and the car will slide the rest of the way down.There is also the strong smell of gas." Johnny explained. "Okay here's what we'll do, Stoker get some rope out and tie it to the front of the Engine. Gage, you and DeSoto go down and secure the car with the other end, use your safety belts and life lines in case the car starts to slide,Kelly and Lopez, you two get an inch and a half down there and wash up the gas spill."The Captain ordered before getting on the Handy Talky to dispatch another ambulance. Roy and Johnny finally made there way to the over turned car then quickly secured it as the Captain ordered. Johnny then climbed in through the back window that had been smashed out. "Are you ok?" Johnny asked making his way to the victim. "What'cha got Johnny?"Roy asked peeking through the side window. "Roy we have a female,about 20 years of age, she's hurt pretty bad,Roy we're going to need a Back Board and a Cervical Collar." Johnny explained as he continued to check for injuries. "Okay,.Cap we're going to need a Back Board,Drug Box ,Also the Oxygen,Biophone and the Jaws."Roy announced into the mic. "10-4 there on their way."Stanley replied as he and Stoker headed down with the needed equipment. ."Here."Stanley said handing the Drugbox and Biophone to Roy. "Here you go Johnny."Roy said handing the needed equipment to Johnny. Roy then started setting up the Biophone."Rampart, this is County 51, how do you read?"Roy announced speaking into the phone. .....Meanwhile....... Johnny applied the Cervical Collar and was preparing to get the vitals. "Unit calling repeat." Dixie replied while Dr, Brackett walked up next to her. "Rampart, this is County 51."Roy repeated. "Okay go ahead 51." Dixie replied. "Rampart we have a female approximately 20 years of age,involved in a major freeway accident, stand by for vitals." "10-4 51, we're standing by." Dr. Brackett "Roy vitals are, blood pressure is 60 over 40,pulse is 50 and thready, the resparations are 12 and shallow. Her pupils are sluggish and not responding to light, the right pupil is larger then the left. I can't tell the extent of her injuries but she has multiple lacerations and contusions on her face,she also has a deep laceration on the of her head above her left ear,Victim is some what conscious at this time."Johnny explained. Roy relayed all the information to Rampart. "51 are you able to start an IV?" Dr. Brackett asked looking over the information that was given to him. "Negative Rampart, There is danger of a possible fire, also the victim is trapped inside the car at this time,we are attempting to free the victim now." Roy explained. "10-4 51,Closely monitor the victims vitals and observe the victim for any signs of shock." "10-4 Rampart" ... "What is your name?" The victim asked in a broken voice. "My name is John, John Gage ."Johnny answered while cleaning and putting a dressing on the gash in her head. "And you are?" "Amanda."She replied choking on the blood that gushed out of her mouth. "There there."Johnny assured her while wiping the blood off her face. "I'm scared,I don't want to die." She said fighting for breath as if it were her last. "You're not going to die Sweetie,you're going to be okay. Do you hear me? You're not going to die not now, not this day."Johnny said softy trying even more to reassure her as well as himself. "Hold me, I'm so cold."She cried while blood continued to spew from her mouth. Taking her finger and out lining the badge that John wore on his chest ,she then drifted out of consciousness. Johnny then took another set of vitals. "Cap what ever we're going to do, we got to make it fast, she's fading quick." Johnny said then silently prayed for a miracle while holding her the best he could. "Okay John we're doing the best we can, just hang in there,we'll get her." Cap replied watching the victim slowly bleed to death and knowing that Johnny was right, she was running out of time. .....Meanwhile...... Stoker and Lopez continued to work the Jaws in attempt to gain access to the victim.While Kelly washed away the gas from the ruptured gas tank. In just a few minutes they were able to get inside the car."Okay Mike Marco hold the back board steady, Chet help Roy and I'll ease her out on it." Stanley ordered Hold it a minute the seat belt's jammed."Johnny announced taking out a pair of scissors to cut the belt away. As he cut the belt away, her battered body fell into his arms. He held her close to him as he gently wiped her blood soaked hair out of her eyes. "See I told yeah, you're going to be okay."Johnny whispered in her ear as he helped ease her onto the Back Board. "Rampart,the victim is now out of the car. We have the victim on a Back Board,we've applied a Cervical Collar,we also have a new set of vitals.The vitals are now BP 50 over 30,pulse is 20 and faint the resparations are now 10 and labored.The victim has large amounts of blood coming from the nose and mouth and there is signs of bleeding in both ears,stomach is extended and rigid." Roy announced "51, Addminister 6 litters of oxygen,Start an IV Ringers Lactate wide open, start a second IV of 500 mrgs Sodium Bicarb,place the victim in Anti Shock pants,continue monitoring the victims vitals,and use extreme caution when transporting."Dr Brackett ordered "51,Whats your ETA?" "Rampart ETA is about 30 minuetes." Roy replied "10-4 51." Dr.Brackett replied shaking his head "Doesn't sound good." Dixie said hanging her head before leaving to get a treatment room ready ....... They are all up the embankment now and loading the victim in the ambulance. "Mr.Gage?"Amanda asked while asperating more blood. "Yeah." Johnny replied kneeling down by her side. "I'm scared,I don't want to die alone. Would you ride with me?"Amanda asked placing her bloody hand on his arm as she drifted back to unconsciousness. "Sure,I'll be glad to." Johnny replied with a warm smile. ......... Roy and Johnny walked into the kitchen at the station."That was a rough one, I hope we don't have another one like that for a long time." Johnny said with a long face "So how's she doing?" Stanley asked looking at the frowning faces of the Paramedics. "I don't know she's in real bad shape, I almost lost her on the way in , Dr. Brackett doesn't think she'll make it through the night, She's suffered a massive head injury and internal injuries. She slipped into a deep coma durning surgery."Johnny explained as he felt his eyes begin to water. "Rampart tried to contact her family,but so far they haven't had any luck,Dixie seems to know her, she called her by name."Roy added watching his partner take a seat at the table and laying his head in his hands that were stained with her blood. "Roy, is he okay? He's taking it pretty hard. He's not breaking the number one rule is he?"Stanley asked " I heard her ask him if she was going to die,and he said no.Now after he heard Brackett say her chance for suvival is next to nothing, My guess is that he feels he lied to her."Roy explained setting his coffee cup on the counter. "Yeah, but you got to know that you done your best,You both did."Stanley replied as he tried to comfort his friend "Maybe so,but you know, sometimes our best just isn't good enough And regardless if we like or not we all left the scene wearing her blood ."Roy said pulling out his shirt to show the blood stains then taking his seat next to his partner. "Hey John when you go back to Montana you wouldn't mind taking your buddies with you, would you?" Chet asked trying to lighten up the mood "Oh I don't think I'll be moving back." "What why the sudden change,I thought your mind was made up this morning."Roy said "I thought it was too but I got this gut feeling inside telling me that if I moved it would be the biggest mistake."
