Chapter 79: The ground can't get lower
Elixir raced through the stairs even when everyone was telling her to stay back. If the ache in her knee and the exhausted lungs couldn't stop her then mere mortals could not. She eventually made it to the floor where Jason was and she felt the world stop.
For a second, what she saw was an image that would take years of therapy and alcohol for her to move on from. Her son was in his own pool of blood with one of his hands cuffed to the bed railing while the other hand held his child. He was pale like he was intentionally deprived of his blood. Elixir was frozen and that image stayed with her fit some minutes.
The paramedics she hired to follow her walked past her and pulled Jason away from his daughter.
"She has a pulse but she is unconscious!" One of the paramedic yelled "What about him"
The other paramedic checked for a pulse on Jason's neck "Gunshot wound to the abdomen. No pulse. Starting CPR"
