Reported on the Rescue Train
In the cold air, the heart wrapped in a sterile bag rolled out, tumbled twice, and stopped after hitting the base of a trash can.
“No!” I screamed as I lunged toward it.
My knees struck the floor, and my vision darkened. I ignored everything else. I held the heart in my hands as its temperature rose quickly. The preservation fluid leaked from the torn sterile bag.
“It cannot be exposed to the air,” I whispered. I shivered and hugged the heart to my chest, wrapping it with my clothes as tears streamed down my face.
Ariana stood nearby, clapped her hands, and shrugged. “You all saw that, right? What could she be hiding that is so important?”
