            Sam picked herself up off the ground and
grunted softly, shaking her head as Alex helped her to her feet.  She dusted off her jeans, looking around at
the rest of the fallen people who were struggling to get up.

            Shane moaned her hand flying to her forehead
as she felt the thick blood coursing down the left side of her face.  Shane felt the metallic taste on her tongue as she moaned
softly again.

            “SHANE!” 
Dana yelled, tearing the dress on the bench
as she moved to her girlfriend’s aid.  Sam let go of Alex‘s hand and moved to Shane, she tore off the sleeve of the dress
that Dana was wearing a put pressure on the wound
that was pumping fresh blood.  Sam‘s pager was vibrating at her hip.  Sam knew it was the hospital.  She needed to get there, there was going to
be an onslaught of wounded.

            “Dana, hold this and push firmly.”  Sam instructed, Shane groaning softly.  Sam waited a moment, and then looked at the wound, seeing
it was a nice clean cut that would start to clot on its own.  She needed stitches, but that could wait for
a while yet.
