The Outcasts

She Won't If He Won't If You If I Won't

"And we can't save it?" The doctor shook her head.

"The leg is black, that means it's dead." The little boy closed his eyes and and he faced the girl. When he opened them, he laid eyes on her. They had eye contact for about three seconds before she heard her doctors voice.

"She was right there. I don't know where she went." She turned back to the doctor. The doctors face turned red when he saw her again. Her heart dropped and she didn't take another stepped towards him.

"What did I tell you?" She started to tremble. She backed away from him cautiously.

"You were suppose to stay in the spot that I told you stay in. Didn't I?" She nodded.

The much older doctor pulled him back and scowled at him.

"Come on sweetie." Then someone yelled code blue from the curtains. She turned around quickly and tried to observe what was happening.

A nurse ran in with a crash cart.

"Is he going to be okay?" She asked the doctor.

"I'm not sure which patient that is. But I'm sure he will be fine." They violently opened the curtains and ran towards a hallway.

The boy was unconscience. His big eyes were closed. The doctors frantically took all of the equipment with them and scurried into an elevator.

"What's going to happen, please tell me?" She didn't beg, but she asked like she needed to know.

The doctor bent down to get to her level. He was very tall and towered over evreyone.

"Between you and me, I don't think he's going to have two legs. And if they don't do it fast enough, a life."

She looked down at her feet, trying to avoid eye contact again.

"How sad." She said bluntly, she got out his way and sat up on the bed again.

"Okay, I'm ready."

The next day, they arrived.

I spent the whole day trying to organize everything. Sleeping arrangement, schedules, food and refreshments, how I'm going to train everyone to my standards, translators.

I forgot that most of these people do not know a lock of English coming from different countries. I only know Spanish because my dad is from the Republic connected to us.

"Shit," I whispered to myself. I looked at all of these people that were in lines, just looking at me. My boys were behind me, sitting in a straight line against the wall.

We were outside in the area that we do our boot camp in. At that moment there was no equipment because I ordered it to be removed for this event.

I went through about a hundred men to find someone who speaks a language different from Spanish at least.
