Tina:  Over here Dave I will take her upstairs with mom.  I think it is better if we change them into something dry.  Mom this is one of the women we found.  Her name I believe is Candace.

Mrs K:  Oh poor love, are you ok?

Tina:  Come on Candace come with me we will take care of you while Dave gets your friend inside as well.

Candace looked at her and then shifted her head and looked at Mrs K.  She wanted to say something and the words came out very faintly. 

Candace:  I …. I ….. Thank you.

Mrs K:  It’s ok dear don’t worry you are safe here.

Tina got hold of one side of Candace and her mother managed to hold the other side and they nearly lifted her off the ground up the stairs.  They got her to Tina’s bedroom and lowered her onto the bed gently making sure not to cause any further pain.

Tina rushed to her cupboard and started searching for clothes to put on Candace.  She heard Dave calling her from downstairs.  Tina got the clothes out and handed them to her mother.  Her mother looked at her and motioned her to get going.

Mrs K:  Go darling, go and see what he wants.  I will take care of Candace.

Tina:  Mom you sure you could manage alone?

Mr K:  I am sure, now go.  I will be ok here.

Tina left her mother with Candace and rushed down to see Dave.  He was holding the other woman in his arms.  She was out of it and was still looking very ill.

Dave:  Tina I don’t think she is going to make it upstairs we have to take her to the hospital straight away.  We can’t even wait for the Ambulance.  We are going to lose her if we don’t get the move on.

Tina looked like a ghost.  She was fretting now and started to move like a headless chicken.

Tina:  Oh god, oh god.  Ok, ok whatever you say.  Come on put her in my car and let’s drive her to the hospital.  Come on hurry.

Tina talked to her dad and asked him to look out for the ambulance and to see if her mother needed some help.
