17.Last Request? You...

I hurried back to the circle cage, where John and Dr. Jason were placing the circus doctor on a hard board. They were about to carry him away, but I yelled, “Wait! Where are you taking him? Let me help!”

John tied a rope to their hard board and I helped them pull. “Thank you James,” John said as he led me to the doctor's tent.

When we got there, Dr. Jason and John lifted the hard board onto the table. “Well, at least he is a bit stabler, but he really should go to the hospital soon,” Dr. Jason said as he checked the doctor again.

We all heard sirens in the distance and we listened, the circus doctor spoke, “Thank you caring for me, but my time has come. You...” he pointed at Dr. Jason, “Are a great doctor, sir; so I leave everything in this tent to you. James, please tell my brother that I loved him,” he told before he closed his eyes. His breathing stopped and John hurried to tell the police and the ringmaster what had just happened, while I laid beside the dead doctor.
