Stay here and we’ll take care of the rest.”
He reluctantly sat back as Max and I exited the jeep. We walked hand in hand across the icy road. The driver’s side door was open which had allowed Officer Brown to escape.
The car had to be well heated because the snow around the opened door was starting to melt. At least we knew the two of them weren’t too exposed to the elements. Nevertheless, I had some heated blankets on standby. Hypothermia is no laughing matter.
“We’ll have to open up a door,” Max said, walking up to the back passenger door. There looked to be some movement inside but it was difficult to tell from this angle. “There’s usually a steel mesh separating the backseat from the front. We can’t have them come through the middle. Setting the car to emergency usually unlocks the doors in civilian cars. I hope it’s the same for cop cars.”
Summoning all of his strength, Max pulled at the door. Indeed, it was unlocked but it wasn’t opening without a fight. Using both hands, he finally pulled it open.
Suddenly, a soft voice came out from “Stay back!”
A small boy sat on what was sitting on what was essentially the roof of the car’s interior. He had dark brown hair and soft grey eyes that reminded me of Max. He held a broken shard of glass in his hand as a weapon. He didn’t look injured but I knew he was afraid.
I immediately understood why he threatened us. To his side was a middle-aged woman who had to be his mother. She was unconscious and needed to be brought down from the seat.
The boy didn’t look like he was older than ten years. “I said stay back!”
Max groaned in irritation. “Calm down, kid before you hurt yourself! I don’t have time for this-“
“Relax, we’re here to help,” I said, taking charge. I gently extended my hand and touched his shoulder. “My name’s Emily and we’re here you to get you to safety. What’s your name?”
He didn’t resist. “It’s Edward. Most people call me Ed.”
I pointed to his mother. “How’s your mom, Ed? Is she okay?”
Thankfully, the boy dropped the shard of glass. “She drifts in and out.”
“Ed, we need to get the both of you out of here,” I said, grabbing onto his hand. “First, we’ll get you out and then we can get your mom the help she needs.”
He nodded. “Okay… just help my mom!”
Max gave me a small smile. “Get him to the jeep and I’ll take care of her.”
I guided Ed back to the safety of the jeep while Max tried to get his mother out. Watching from afar, he struggled to get her seatbelt off without hurting her. After a few minutes, he got her out and carried her with both arms to the jeep.
It was a cramped fit with five people. I offered to stay behind and get picked up later. However, Max was adamant we all leave together. With the mother still half-unconscious, we secured her in the backseat. Ed sat in my lap while Officer Brown rode shotgun.
I made small talk with Edward to keep him calm. I learned that his mother’s name was Claudia. Ironically enough, she was a doctor who specialized in head injuries.
She was a woman in her late thirties with greying hair. Nonetheless, there was a big bruise on her forehead. Thankfully, it hadn’t bled very much.
I didn’t know how long the three of them would be staying with us. We had enough food to share with the others. Claudia could use some of my womanly hygienic items. With the weather clearing up, it wouldn’t be a death wish to venture out for more food and other supplies.
Eventually, we reached Max’s house. We carefully placed Claudia on the bed in the guestroom before patching her up. Max and Officer Brown went to talk about how to contact the police. I got busy making some hot soup for everyone.
Where nowhere to go, Ed assisted me in preparing
