. a blast of thwop- thwoop - thwop - thwop from the revving blades of the departing helico-pter intruded , providing cover for the involuntary "ouch" i squealed as she adjusted the positioning of the cathether .
"it 's in ," she said ." we'll have you hydrated lickety - split ."
"i didn't know you were such a wimp ," sam said .
i said , "i don't like needles . i don't understand what you're saying . chloe and ramona? come on tell me ."
sam o;pened his mouth and then closed it as the pulsating popping of the helicoopter blades grew louder . i watched the chopper speed past us a h8nd5red yards away at about ten o'clock . it was only fifty feet above the ground when it banked , climbed , and disappeared from views as though it had been yankedaway by the gods .
"i wish i knew how to do that ," sam said .
the EMT from california city taped the catheter in place .
sam opened his mouth again to tell about chloe and ramona . again , he closed it .the intrusion the second tomt was the roar of a highway patrol cruiserr blasting past the ambulance . the cop car was demonstrating a shopw of speed wort of a street racer on a friday night , the howl of the car's big engine exploded in my ears for only a second before the ddriver jammed hard on his brakes and sqealed the car to a stop five feet from the camry .
sam was on the move before i could make amy sense of what i was seeing .
the camry was baking in the sun right where it had stopped rolling . it looked like a wounded animal dying slowly in the desert heat . all four doors were open . the right front tire was deflated .
i sat up ,"what's going on ?" i said .
sam was jumping down from the ambulance . he hit the ground running toward the camry .
i yelled at his back ," what is it ?"
two highway patrol troopers hopped out of thecruiser . one ran to the back of the camry , the other to the driver's door .
"pop it ! , pop it! pop it ! " the cop at the trunk yelled .
"it 's in ," she said ." we'll have you hydrated lickety - split ."
