EXCERPT:
Trace Bently wasn’t going to let anyone die on his watch—not today.
“You ready to go, partner?” Andi peeked her head around the driver’s side door of the ambulance. Her voice echoed in the enclosed garage area of the Eastside firehouse.
“All set.” Trace hit the side of the truck and jogged to the passenger side.
The tires squealed against the pavement as they made a sharp turn out of the station. Sunlight streamed through the windshield, and he pulled down the visor. Andi leaned forward and flicked the sirens on. Traffic steered to the shoulder, and they were given the right of way.
Trace spoke into the radio. “Ambulance 21 is on the way. Any updates on the situation?”
Static crackled through the line as he waited for a response. Hostage situations could get ugly fast, and he hoped a negotiator was already en route. Time was always of the essence. No telling what would tip the captor over the edge to do something stupid. He’d seen it too many times when he was a cop. Standing around, powerless to do anything.
Now that he was an EMT, he could focus on the victims rather than just who needed to be arrested. Saving lives was his job—and that’s exactly what he was going to do.
He leaned forward and tapped his foot against the floorboard before sneaking a glance at Andi. A knowing look crossed her face as she raised her eyebrows. She was going as fast as possible. He knew that. But he didn’t have to like how slow it felt in the meantime.
“We’ve got a male holding two kids at gunpoint,” the commander on the other end of the line stated.
Trace winced. “Copy that.”
“Kids?” Andi hissed.
Trace gritted his teeth. “I know.”
“The wife escaped and is with an officer now but needs immediate medical attention. Gash to the forehead and cuts along her arm. Possible broken bone,” the commander said.
“ETA seven minutes.” Trace let go of the button.
