“What happened here?” she asked.
The man was nicely dressed, his shirt soaked through and sticking to his impressive chest, and his tailored pants appeared expensive, designer, name brand. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, with blood on his cuffs.
“Drove up on an accident,” he said. “One guy’s stuck, one pinned underneath—dead, I think. I just called it in.”
“Taz, leave it. Let’s go,” Bradley called out and actually honked the horn, sounding much like a two-year-old instead of a guy who was supposed to help others. He hadn’t even bothered to step out.
She had no patience to deal with idiots any more today, so she ignored him as she took a second to assess the overturned car. The man looked back to the rig, most likely looking for the idiot who wouldn’t get out and help. There was water on the road, still poor visibility, and she saw what she thought was smoke or maybe steam rising from the crash site.
Then the guy touched her arm and said, “Come on. I need some help.” As she started behind the guy, sliding into the ditch, he grabbed her arm. “Watch your footing,” he said. “It’s slippery.”
She heard tires squeal as her ambulance, the one she was responsible for, pulled away.
“Bradley, you fucking idiot!” she yelled out. Then, when she hit a patch of mud, she lost her footing and tumbled down, hitting the good Samaritan and knocking his feet from under him. They both tumbled down the embankment, and he landed right on top of her.
