Rescue - 5

After a few hard pulls, Chet managed to open the door to the black car. He crawled into the passenger side and looked up.
     At first he recognized the face but couldn't place it. Then it hit him. Dr. Kelly Brackett.
     Brackett had his head leaning against the window with his eyes slightly open. "Dr. Brackett? Dr. Brackett?" A painful groan escaped the doctors lips but he looked up anyway.
      "Chet? Kelly?" He whispered. Chet just nodded trying to think of a way to tell the other guys. "Whe... where’s Roy and John... and Genevieve. "They're right out there" He said not mentioning the fact that Genevieve had yet to be found.
      "What's up chet?" Mike asked. The mustached fireman backed out of the door and stood to face the engineer. "Better warn Roy and John. It's Dr. Brackett" "They're still working on getting into the other car. Is it bad?" Kelly looked back in the car and shook his head no.
      "Hey Mike!" Captain Stanley shouted "We need you to drive the engine around and steady the pole! We're gonna tie it up with a rope!"
      He rushed back to drive the truck. The big red beast rumbled back to life and Stoker steered it across the street. After they tied the rope attached to the pole on the fender, Cap gave instructions "drive back slow Mike. Just enough to hold it up."
      Mike did as he was told but they had slightly misjudged how far back the engine should go. The front end of the car fell the rest of the way down and hit the concrete with a bang. An agonized cry could be heard over the insulting noise.
      I'd know that voice anywhere! But it can't be!
      Roy exchanged a horrified look with his partner. Johnny'd recognized it too. They ran to the winshield of the maroon car and looked inside. Roy's heart plumeted as he gazed, shocked, at the motionless body trapped inside the metal heap.
      Her head was down on the steering wheel but he knew. The long silky black hair. The blue uniform top. The glance of a silver chain that held her locket close to her heart. There was no denying it was Genevieve.
