Trespass – Chapter 14.
As he entered the hospital Vic paused for a moment to get his bearings. To his left was a waiting room with a few people in there sitting on the plastic chairs. They were dotted about the room no one wanting to sit too close to anyone else. Apart from the occasional barking cough from a homeless man who sat in the corner no one spoke or looked at anyone else. In front of him was the admitting desk and wanting to know what was going on with Dutch Vic turned towards it and made his way over. He was nearly there when he felt a hand on his arm,
"Has anyone looked at your head detective?" A concerned voice asked.
Turning Vic recognised the older paramedic who had brought him and Dutch to the hospital. His partner was standing, a little impatiently behind him, waiting to get back to their ambulance and back out on duty.
"Um, no not yet I just wanted to find out how my friend is…do you know?" Vic asked.
"The doctors are with him now, they’re doing everything they can. I think we need to get that head wound you’ve got checked out though detective. I think it might need a couple of stitches, ok?" The paramedic explained to Vic while trying to catch the eye of the nurse behind the admitting desk.
"Jenny could you get someone to look at Detective Mackey’s head wound?" He called to her.
The nurse came out from behind the desk and approached them,
"Of course," She said, a reassuring professional smile adorning her face. "If we go into a treatment room I’ll help you clean up a little detective, and get a doctor to take a look."
"Thanks Jen." The paramedic said stepping away from Vic and the nurse.
As he went to follow his partner out to the ambulance he paused and turned back to Vic,
"The docs here are the best…they’ll look after your friend."
Vic watched him leave feeling that wave of exhaustion he’d felt earlier at Dutch’s house rising up again.
"If you’ll follow me." The nurskedsked him, indicating a small room near by.
Wearily Vic followed her and sat on the bed.
"I’ll just page a doctor to come and examine you then I’ll clean some of that blood off." The nurse told him while reaching for the phone.
Ten minutes later the nurse had left to find him a scrub top he could wear instead of his blood soaked tee shirt and a doctor was shining one of those damn lights into his eyes again.
"Could you follow the light please." The doctor asked, while he moved the light from side to side.
As patiently as he could Vic followed the light and squeezed the doctors hands when asked to, and answered his questions about headaches and nausea.
"A mild concussion," Was the doctor’s verdict. "And I’ll put a couple of stitches into the head wound for you." He offered.
"Can you find out about the other man…the other detective who was brought in?" Vic asked, anxious to know how Dutch was.
"They’re working on him," The doctor told him. "When they know anything they’ll come and find you to let you know. Now this might sting." He said as he injected a local anesthetic near Vic’s injury.
The doctor was just applying a small dressing to Vic’s head when the door to the room opened and Captain Aceveda entered accompanied by two men Vic didn’t recognise. Vic guessed they were detectives from Westwood who’d want to take his statement. His suspicions were confirmed when Aceveda introduced them,
"Detective Gregory, Detective Lehane… Detective Vic Mackey. They want a statement Vic about what the hell happened tonight. Where’s Dutch…how is he do you know?"
Ignoring the two Westwood detectives for the moment Vic turned to Aceveda,
"I don’t know they won’t tell me anything. They just say they’re working on him and they’ll come tell me when they’re finished." He informed Aceveda, adding sadly, "But it looked bad."
Just then the door opened once more as the nurse returned with the promised scrub top for Vic to wear. Vic took it from her with a nod of thanks and as she and the doctor left they all heard Claudette’s stressed and annoyed voice coming from outside,
"Detective Wagenbach…I was told he was brought here, he’s my partner and I want to know how he is, what’s wrong with him!"
Raising a questioning eyebrow Aceveda looked at Vic,
"She’s his partner, his friend she should be here…he’s gonna need her." Vic said by way of explanation.
Turning away Aceveda sighed and called her over,
"Captain," She acknowledged him, her gaze skipping over the other two men before it zeroed in on Vic. "Do you mind telling me what the bloody hell has happened to Dutch!"
Before Vic could speak one of the detectives, Vic thought it was Lehane, stepped forward trying to take charge of the situation,
"That’at wat we’d all like to know Detective Mackey. You reported a home invasion and serious assault…"
Lehane found himself interrupted then as the door once more opened to reveal an unfamiliar doctor,
"Are you all here for Detective Wagenbach?" She asked.
"Yes, how is he?" Vic asked eagerly coming forward, desperate for news about Dutch’s condition.
"Well, I’m Doctor Horowitz and I worked on Detective Wagenbach. He was brought into the ER suffering from haemorrhagic shock caused by severe intraperitoneal haemorrhage." Seeing the confused expressions around her the doctor decided to dumb down a little. It was easy sometimes to forget that not everyone talked in medical terminology. "Severe internal bleeding. We carried out an ultrasound examination and found he was suffering from a grade 3 injury to his spleen and then redlined him to the OR for a splenectomy."
Detective Gregory interrupted at this point, which earned him a look of pure poison from Claudette.
"A what?"
" His spleen will be removed to stop the bleeding." Doctor Horowitz explained, before plunging on with the rest of Dutch’s injuries. "He also has three broken ribs and a head injury which is causing some concern. He will be given a head CT as soon as is possible to determine the severity of the injury. While in the OR the surgeon’s will further assess the damage caused by the sexual assault."
She paused when she heard the sharp intake of breath from Claudette at this last statement, and mentally kicked herself for not breaking this news a little more gently. Softening her tone a little she carried on,
"The ultrasound didn’t show any perforation of the bowel, but there is severe tearing and bruising to the rectum and anus which will require stitches. Due to the severity of the damage the surgeon’s will probably give Detective Wagenbach a temporary colostomy to reduce the risk of infection and aid the healing process. We carried out a full rape-kit before he was taken up to the OR so if you’d like to have an officer collect it. Um, that’s all I can tell you I’m afraid except that Detective Wagenbach was holding his own when he was taken up to the OR. I’ll send someone in to take you up to the surgical waiting room." With that Doctor Horowitz escaped from the room with its oppressive atmosphere of shock and sadness.
For several long moments no one spoke until a shaken Claudette turned to Vic, her eyes silently begging him to deny her next statement,
"Raped…he was raped?"
Vic felt a huge wave of shame crash over him, not only had he failed Dutch but he’d failed Claudette too, he hadn’t protected her partner. Unable to meet her eye he dropped his gaze to the floor,
"I’m sorry Claudette." Was all he could say.
A soft knock on the door was followed by Jenny, the nurse who had helped Vic earlier, entering and saying,
"Doctor Horowitz asked me to take you up to the surgical waiting room."
Aceveda looked shaken himself when he turned to Vic and said,
"We’ll take your statement when we get up there."
