As soon as
the world stopped spinning around me, I took note of what I had landed on – the
aforementioned body. I registered that
there was no scent, therefore I knew that the unfortunate soul was not deceased,
however, he certainly was not in the healthiest of conditions. I sat up, rubbing at the lump that was
forming on the back of me head, and tried to rouse the man.
“Sir? Sir, are you all right?” Well, of course he was far from all right,
but what else was I to ask? He was
terribly brd and and I noticed that some of his clothing was thick with blood. “S-sir?”
His eyes fluttered, attempting to open.
“Help…me…” His voice was very hoarse and his breathing
shallow.
“Yes, yes,
of course.” I ran up the stairs as
quickly as I could and grabbed the first two men I saw. “There is an injured man at the bottom of
the stairwell, I need your help to bring him up.” The men assisted me and we were able to get him to the infirmary,
which was, thankfully, very near by.
Once there, several nurses and Dr. Peter Kindell attended to him. Both my job and curiosity kept me at the
infirmary until the man was conscious and coherent.
When I was
allowed to speak with him, my day became…complicated.
Dr. Kindell
came out to find me. “Mr. Dearborne will
see you now, Constable Crane.”
My throat
suddenly felt very dry. “She was
bruised, sir, but I did not feel it was my place to…”
“I fear
that I have ruined my daughter’s life.”
His voice was distant.
