Ch 9

And again Tina covered the woman’s mouth and started to breathe air in and checking for sings of stronger pulse.  Tina was getting exhausted and the woman wasn’t breathing on her own yet and her pulse was fading away.

Tina:  Oh god please help me, I need help right now.

Tina was angry.  She tried one last move and compressed the chest with one strong frustrated blow and hit it really hard this time nearly cracking the ribs.  The punch made the woman’s body jerk. Tina was scared.  The woman started to cough and splutter dirty water out of her mouth in Tinas face and all over her clothes.  She coughed and coughed and Tina was never so happy in all of her life to hear someone coughing.  She was so relieved.  She jumped up and down screaming and shouting with great joy.

Tina:  Thank you, thank you God.  Thats it honey, that’s it, let it all out.  Breathe please keep breathing for Gods sake.  I want you to breathe for your sake, breath honey.  You are going to be ok, just keep breathing.  I am going to try my best to help you.  Stay with me please.  Thank you God, thank you.

Tina got down on her knees again and moved closer to the woman’s mouth so that she could hear her if she tried to say anything.  She asked the woman again.  She had a thousand and one questions to ask but she couldn’t.  She considered the situation and the traumatic experience that the woman was going through.  She gently asked with a soft smile still on her face.

Tina:  Can you hear me?  Where are you hurt?  What is your name?

Again Tina put her ear to the mouth of the now breathing woman so that she could hear her. The person spoke very faintly and Tina couldnt make out what it was said.

Cat, cat.after me.

Tina:  What, what are you saying?  Oh sorry you can’t.  After you!!  Who’s after you?  Are they still here?  Oh god.   Well that’s ok you don’t have to say a word.  I am going to take care of you, dont worry please.  That’s ok.

Tina put her fingers to the woman’s mouth in gesture to stop her from talking.  She felt how cold her lips were.  She must do something and she must do it fast.
