Kasey(#1774PenAC) The young lady catches your glance and smiles in your direction as you size her up, her green eyes shining. Kasey is about five foot six inches tall, and weighs a little over a hundred and thirty pounds. (What she puts down officially is another story entirely. :)) Her fiery yet dark red hair cascades down to a point just above her waist. Last but not least, her overall figure is well formed, indicating she works out on a regular basis. Right now, Kasey wears a plain old pair of blue jeans, a weathered pair of hiking boots, a grey T-shirt, and a grey leather jacket overtop of the shirt. Kasey enters Apartment 116. Apartment 116(#783RntJ) Oh GAWD! All the furniture is PINK! Contents: Pinky Obvious exits: ut leads to Eastview Apartments Courtyard. Pinky turns off the Tv and says,"Come in!" Kasey comes walking in and waves joyously. "HI! Guess what?" Pinky says, "Hmmmmmm....what?" Kasey gestures to her leg. Kasey says, "See? See? Huh?" Kasey hops around on one foot. Pinky says, "Oh! It's off! Great!" Pinky says, "You arn't a cripple any more!" Kasey grins. "I went to the hospital and had it taken care of last night. And BOY does it feel better!" Kasey comes in and sits down. Pinky says, "So how long did you scractch it last night?" Pinky smiles. Kasey laughs. "I stuck it in a tub of hot water and let it sit for a couple hours. That took care of that." Kasey says, "I did it last night so I could be with Jay for a while while he was at work.. didn't turn out that way." She made a face. "He was out right until shift change and then only got back to the hospital for a minute before he had to go back downtown." Pinky says, "Ew. The life of a ..um..he's a parametic right?" Kasey says, "Yeah! He got a job with the City fire department last week. I might've forgotten to tell you that. ^_^" Pinky says, "That's great! That's a job that you can be sure they'll always need people for. Nice Steady work. Of course it is an on call 24 hours a day job." Kasey says, "He works 12 hour shifts.. actually, he went back today, just before supper. He grumps about the all-nighters, but he loves the stuff he gets to see and experience." Pinky says, "Ah don't let him fool you, he probably loves grumping about them too." Kasey laughs. Pinky says, "You looking for a job too?" Kasey says, "Yeah, I'm starting to wonder. Now he's moved back into his own apartment, and I'm without my parents' bottomless money pit, I need to start making up some way of paying for my place. That, or, go on an adventure and strike it rich.. wish I could luck into them like Gina does.." Pinky says, "I hear Gina has her dry spells too. And she was pretty broke when she started out. Her and her sis got to their first site as stoways abord some plan. And Brit's told me that sometimes they barely break even on great finds when you consider all the wild goose chases they follow." Kasey shrugs. Kasey says, "It averages out, I bet.." Kasey says, "So, what're we gonna do for supper?" Pinky says, "I was just gonna heat me up a TV dinner but, you wanna go check out some of the resturants around here?" There's a knock at the door. Kasey shrugs. There's another knock at the door. Kasey says, "'Zat someone at your door?" Pinky says, "I guess so..COME IN!" The door opens and a guy in a pizza driver's uniform is there with a large pizza. "Free pizza night, ma'am. Compliments of Pizza-X." Pinky stands up and raises an eyebrow,"Free pizza night?" The guy stands there holding the pizza. His face is covered by his ballcap and he wears a big white jumpsuit covering the rest of him. "Yes, we give out free pizzas to selected customers once a week. You're selected this week, Ms. Carter." Pinky says, "But I've never ordedred from you before..." The guy holds out the pizza box. Big "X" stamped on the lid. Pinky gives Kasey a LOOK. The guy says, "This is just a way we like to invite people to start ordering from us." He smiles. Kasey says, "Take it! I'm starving!" Pinky says, "Riiight...can I see it before I accept it please?" The guy nods, and opens the lid, yup, it's a pizza. Piping hot. smells awesome. Meat Lover's. :) Pinky blinks. Pinky says, "Okay..thank you very much....." Pinky she reaches out to take the pizza. The guy hands it over and walks away. Kasey grabs a slice as you walk past. "Gimmegimme!" Kasey says, "Mmmmmm...... Yu goff anyfing to wash dis down wif?" Pinky says, "Suuure.." Kasey stops eating. "uh oh." Kasey looks scared. Pinky walks to the kitchen."Mountain dew or Crab Soda?" Kasey says, "oh shit.." Pinky looks at Kase,"What is it?" Kasey says, "Twenty goddamn years of nothing and NOW it acts up again.." Kasey appears to be having trouble breathing. Kasey says, "Kuh.. call.. 911.. allergic.. huh.. huh.. huh..." Kasey gets up and RUNS towards the bathroom. Pinky says, "Kase!? What is it?!" Pinky picks up the phone and dials. Bleep bloop bloop. Kasey makes it about halfway there and falls to her knees, struggling to get breath. Dispatcher says, "9-1-1 Emergency. For what service?" Kasey is curled up on the floor, a wheezing/whistling sound from her now. She looks to be swelling up in the face and throat. Pinky says, "the paramedics! My friend ate a piece of pizza and said someting about allergies. ANd now she is on the floor swelling up on her face and throat!" Dispatcher gets Pinky's address, tells her the ambulance is already on the way, and gets info about Kasey: Age, sex, what she ate, where she is now, if she's conscious and breathing. Have the door open for the paramedics when they arrive. Kasey is still making that wheezing, whistling noise, so she's moving *some* air. Pinky opens the door up and races back Kasey and kneels by her. "Okay you can breath THAT's good." Kasey nods. "Allergy.. seafood.." She's only able to get one syllable out every three breaths or so. Jay comes in from the courtyard. Jay has arrived. Jay and his partner come in. "Oh shit! What happened!" Kasey keeps wheezing. Pinky says, "She ate a piece of pizza." Pinky says, "Must have been some thing on it thou, but..seafood on pizza?!" Jay says, "Kase! Are you choking?" Kasey shakes her head violently no. Pinky goes and gets, "The Pizza!" Jay says, "Has she ever told you she was allergic?" Pinky says, "She was able to get out someting about allerys out." Pinky says, "Nope, she hasn't ever mintioned it." Jay's partner sets up an IV and gets on the radio to the hospital for orders for Epi. Jay says, "Hang on Kase, we're gonna help you.." Jay keeps muttering "shit" under his breath. Jay's partner says, "That didn't help. Let's move." Jay nods and runs out for the stretcher. Jay comes back with the stretcher and his partner and he lift Kasey onto it in a big ol' hurry. Jay says, "You comin', Dani?" Pinky says, "Yeap!" Jay says, "Bring that thing with you." Jay nods at the 'za. You head back outside. Eastview Apartments Courtyard(#125RntJ) You're standing in the parking lot/courtyard of the Eastview apartment complex. It looks to be an old motel converted into long-term living spaces. The building is shaped in a U around the parking lot/courtyard, with the ends of the legs of the U facing the street. The old motel offices have been converted into a laundromat, and the motel rooms are of course apartments now, with the first floor accessible from the parking lot, and the second floor from a balcony that wraps around the inner edge of the building.

Jay heads out of Apartment 116. Jay has arrived. Pinky heads out of Apartment 116. Pinky has arrived. Jay loads Kasey into the ambulance and gets in the back. His partner points Dani to the front passenger seat. Pinky emerges with the pizza and gets in teh ambulance. Jay has left. Jay gets into the ambulance. You get into the ambulance. Ambulance The interior of the ambulance is jammed with all sorts of equipment. In back, there's a cot fixed to the floor, a bench on the right side, a rear-facing seat on the left side just in front of the cot, and a seat along the left wall about halfway along the cot. The rest of the back is taken up with compartments, machinery, and so on. Up front, the cab is crowded by a large instrument console in the middle with radios and switches and siren drivers, and a large red and white sign on the dash reading "NO SMOKING - OXYGEN EQUIPPED". Contents: Jay Pinky gets in. Jay's partner backs out onto the street and heads for the hospital lights & sirens. Jay starts working on Kasey, continuing to mutter profanities at himself. Kasey keeps trying to breathe, but is only able to get a little bit in each time. Pinky shakes her head and LOOOOKS at the pizza. Pinky mutters to herself, "Mental... with..." Jay says, "Hon.. I gotta 'tube ya. That means you gotta be out." Jay calls for orders for sedatives and meds to do Rapid Sequence Intubation. Jay's partner explains to Pinky, "Whatever's wrong with your friend, it's not anaphylactic -- allergic. So don't handle that pizza too much. The docs will want to check it out." Jay's partner says, "I'm sorry, I know you don't need to hear that.. but I'd rather not end up with a second patient." Jay says, "Roy, I need five seconds here to run a tube." Kasey is now unconscious. GAME: Gina's Lab Computer says, "Database save in T minus 60 seconds." Jay inserts the tube with great difficulty and starts to breathe for Kasey. Jay says, "Get movin'!" Pinky has it kept in the box all nice and closed. Jay's partner tears off towards Northside Hospital again. From outside, You head back to East Atlanta. From outside, East Atlanta(#568RLntJ) From outside, East Atlanta, a pleasant suburban street. Sparse crowds of pedestrians are moving along the bright cement sidewalks.

Northside Hospital Northside on the inside looks very much like every other hospital: Wide, clean corridors with lots of people to'ing and fro'ing, a large nurses' station, a spacious waiting area in the emergency department, and several floors of emergency care beds, operating theaters, and other rooms typical to a hospital. Contents: Jay Pinky has arrived. Pinky rushes after the peoples clutching the box. Jay stands in the emergency ward, leaning against a post, head in his hands. Kasey is wheeled to an exam room, no SOs or friends or medics allowed. Jay is there leaning against a post in the emerg lobby, head in his hands. Pinky walks to Jay Pizza box in hands. Muttering,"crap crap crap crap crap crap" the whole way there. Jay mumbles, "Sorry, I don't take personal calls very well.." A nurse takes the pizza after they hear what it's about. Pinky says, "I woudlnt' expect you to. *she shakes her head* this whole this is my fault...*she says as the pizza is carried off.*" Pinky says, "I KNEW somethign was up with that pizza..." Jay says, "What the hell happened? Start from the beginning." Pinky says, "Kase came over and we were talking, then this guy knocked at the door." Pinky says, "He said I had a free pizza delivery. I was suspsicous but Kase wanted the pizza so bad I just took it..." Pinky shakes her head."Next time I go with my gut." Pinky says, "And not hers..." Jay's radio squawks, "1982, clear of D4 yet?" Jay turns it off. Jay says, "Free pizzas? Damn, you were set up." Pinky says, "Yes I was." Pinky says, "I should have turned him away...DAMN IT!" A nurse calls Jason over. Jay says, "Hang on." Pinky tumps the post. Jay talks to the nurse. Jay comes back. Jay says, "I think you're gonna need to talk to the cops." Pinky says, "Well? The find out what's up with the pizza?" Jay says, "They found traces of rat poison sprinkled all over that pizza. Looks like Parmesan cheese. And in some people, mimics an allergic reaction." Jay says, "It was a really potent rat poison.. if you'd waited another ninety seconds.. well.." Jay shrugs. Keorin has connected. Pinky groans and babs her head on the post then leans on it. Jay says, "Who would want to kill you?" Pinky says, "Myself personlly..I can't think of anyone after Danielle Carter.." Jay says, "So you think it was random? Was there anything to suggest it wasn't?" Roy comes over and says quietly as he walks past, "I booked us off for the night." Jay nods thanks. Pinky eyes go wide and she slams a hand on her forehead. Roy leaves and gets into the ambulance. Pinky .oO(But Genn earsed it from there memorys!) Pinky says, "He did mention me by name..." Pinky says, "Ms. Carter.." Jay says, "Seems like someone doesn't like you." Pinky says, "You don't think it might be connected to that thing with Ryan do you?" Pinky mutters to herself. Jay shrugs. Jay says, "I guess it could be.. anything's possible in this world." Estian has arrived. Jay is talking quietly to Pinky in the emergency waiting room. Estian comes into the building, just seeing an ambulance come here a while ago to check it out He is a were-leopard, his body covered in the were-leopards spot patter. He is tall and slender, but muscular at the same time. He wears a blue tank top, and blue drawstring pants. His hair is a coppery-red color, which falls just below his sholders. He carries a long woden stalf, and many pouches. Jay says, "So.. what're you gonna do? Do you think you should go back home?" Pinky says, "Yeah, and I have somethign to tell you when we get there." Kasey gets wheeled up to ICU. An ED doc comes out to the waiting room. Doc seeks out Jay and Pinky, and finds them, then ushers them into a Quiet Room. Doc says, "She's going to be okay." Doc says, "She has to get her stomach pumped, and she will need to be observed for 24, maybe 36 hours.. but there shouldn't be any lasting effects." Jay sighs with relief. Pinky does too,"Thank god." Doc says, "You were the one with the pizza?" Pinky nods,"Yes, sir." Doc says, "The police will probably be asking you a few questions.. this is a poisoning case, and it may go to attempted murder if they can prove that your friend could've died. And I can, with the labs on her." Doc says, "In any case, she's going to be okay. Visiting hours tomorrow are from 11 to 4. Good work in getting her here so fast." Doc slaps both your knees and gets up to leave. Jay gets up. Jay says, "Thanks, Doc." Pinky stands up,"Thannk you." Jay says, "C'mon. Let's get Roy to take us home." Jay leads Pinky out to the ambulance. Pinky heads out with Jay. Estian looks towards the voice he thought that he recognised, and jogs over. Jay walks towards the ambulance bay, leading Pinky out. Estian says, "Jay?.... is that you?" Jay looks up. Jay says, "Oh, hi.. umm.. sorry, I'm rotten with names, especially now. Estian, right?" Pinky says "Hey." and waves but she seems quite preoccuipied. Estian says, "Correct. Somehow I ended up in here. I overheard you talking a bit there with the Doctor... is someone you know hurt?" Jay gives Pinky a squeeze. "She's gonna be ok. Don't worry." Jay nods.. Jay says, "My SO, Kasey. She got.. um.. sick. Really sick, really fast." Estian 's face goes pale Estian says, "oh no................." Jay steps aside to let another crew move a patient in from the ambulance bays. Pinky says, "She's fine now thou." Jay says, "She'll be okay." Jay says, "They said we can visit tomorrow over the lunch hour.." Jay damns. "I'm working.. I'll have to sneak an hour off at lunch." Estian says, "Would it be ok if I visit tomorow? She was so nice to me when I first got here. If it is not too much trouble....." Jay says, "I don't think she'd mind." Jay smiles. Pinky says, "I'm sure she'll love as many vistors as possible." Jay says, "For now, we have to go.. see you tomorrow?" Estian nods Jay nods and walks with Pinky out to the ambulance. Jay has left. Pinky has left. Estian wanders around the hospital a bit, helping those who he can with his minor healing capabilities The docs kinda look funny at this guy, but are too busy to have security boot him out. Estian gets hungry, and heads to the cafeteria, and polishes off all the mystery meat * * * North Atlanta(#571RntJ) North Atlanta, a busy stretch of interstate.

Apartment 116(#783RntJ) Oh GAWD! All the furniture is PINK! Obvious exits: ut leads to Eastview Apartments Courtyard. Pinky comes in from the courtyard. Pinky has arrived. Jay looks at the mess he and Roy left on the floor.. IV bag wrappers.. gloves.. and goes to clean it up. Jay cleans up all the mess and comes back into the living room. Pinky is sitting on the living room couch head in her hands. Jay sits down across from her in the chair. "She's gonna be all right, I tell you. Take it easy. It wasn't your fault." Pinky says, "I'm not going to second guess myself. I've learned that's no good. You just learn from you mistakes and don't make them agian." Pinky leans back on the couch. Pinky says, "Question, you ever hear of a superhero in New York called the Pink Avenger?" Jay says, "Yeah! I saw her on the news about 3 nights ago.. er, whatever night you didn't come over.." Pinky smiles. You can see the gears s-l-o-w-l-y starting to turn in his head. Pinky says, "I'll be riiiiiiight back." Pinky walks off into the bed room. Jay sits there and watches her go. Avenger leaves the bedroom. Avenger walks out into the living room area thingy. Jay looks up, and blinks. You see a rather pretty young woman. She is slender and has blond hair that hangs to her shoulders. Her eyes can't be seen because of the mask she has covering the top half of her face. She wearing a rather standard pair of pants with a belt and a long sleeved shirt. The interesting parts of her outfit are her knee length boots complete with hard metallic looking knee pads, her gloves that come to just before her elbows and then flare out, a cape that falls to knee level, and an interesting Indiana Jones hat perched on her head. She also has a pack cliped to her belt and a sash that appears to be made of a bunch of little pouches. The other major point of interest concerning her costume is that it is all pink. Jay says, "Are you.." Jay says, "Are you SERIOUS?" Jay stands up. Avenger takes off her mask. Jay says, "You didn't just go rent that somewhere?" Avenger says, "Hey, youse." Avenger says, "Nope." Jay says, "Holy crap.." Jay looks at you in a different way now. Jay says, "You're.. the same one that was.. I never would've believed it." Avenger drops MEGA HAMMER OF JUSTICE!!. It's a giant hammer like object. It is basically a staff with a giant boomerang shape iron wieght on the top. All together it is about 3' long. One more thing, it's color is metallic pink. Jay buh-links again. Avenger twrils her hammer around. Jay says, "Wow.. you did a good job of keeping it secret.. I never would've guessed." Avenger smiles,"That means I'm doing a good job." Avenger's smile fades,"Excpet..that pizza..must mean I sliped up SOMEWHERE.." Jay says, "So do I get to still call you Dani or do I need to say Ms. Carter now? Or Avenger? Or do I get to be with you at all any more?" Avenger babs you on the head with her hammer. *bab* Jay says, "That's right.. someone must know about you. OW!" Jay says, "Wow.. this sure is something." Avenger heh's and disappers back into the bed room. Jay calls out, "You must have an easy time at Hallowe'en. You already have your costume." Pinky comes back into the living room. You see a rather pretty young woman. She is slender and has blond hair that hangs to her shoulders. Her eyes are a startingly vivid shade of deep blue. She is wearing a pale pink t-shirt with a picture of hello kitty on it, a pair of very light, very tight blue jeans, and a pair of black velvet boots. Pinky says, "Oh shut up you.:)" Jay says, "I'm sure that's not for public knowledge, either, right?" Pinky says, "You'd better belive it." Jay says, "That's why you waited till we were out of earshot of Roy..?" Jay nods. Jay says, "What about Kase?" Jay says, "She almost died 'cause of it tonight, you know.." Jay says, "She deserves the truth." Pinky says, "I'm going to tell Kasey as soon as she's well." Pinky says, "I might staple her lips shut afterwards but I'm going to tell her." Jay says, "She can keep a secret.. trust me.." Jay seems to be not saying everything. Pinky hmmms at Jay. Jay huhs? Jay says, "Okay, okay, I guess you're owed a secret, since you showed me one of yours.." Jay says, "She probably told you I moved back into my place?" Pinky says, "Yeah today,she told me." Jay shakes his head. "It's a half-truth. I did, but we knocked out the wall between her place and mine." Pinky oooooooooooooohs! Jay says, "So, we're, uh.. kinda.. together now, more or less." Jay says, "Another reason why I was so upset over what happened tonight." Pinky says, "I could sorta tell, but I wasn't sure. So I wasn't goiing to say anything." Jay says, "So... what do you do now? Do you vanish for 3 days and we hear on the news that Avenger put down another crime spree? Or are you going to let me.. us.. help you.. or Avenger, or whoever is taking care of it.. on this?" Pinky says, "Since Kase got hurt by this...I didn't think I could talk you 2 OUT OF helping soooo sure come along." Pinky says, "You have to promise me that'll becarefull thou. Follow MY lead." Jay nods and offers up a smile. "Uh.. sure, I promise." He shakes his head a little with another smile. "Don't take this the wrong way.. but doing something with Dani, it's like we're working with a friend.. doing something with the Avenger.. it's going to be like we're taking orders from a goddess." Jay says, "What I'm saying is, you do such a good job disguising your abilities.. no one would.. er, should.. have ever guessed you were her. You don't take a leadership role in your civilian life." Jay says, "I'm digging myself into a grave with every word, aren't I?" Jay decides to shut up now. Pinky says, "I like to go off-duty as much as the next person. And yes but since you watched your girlfriend pratically croak tonight I'll let you live." Pinky says, "Probably." Jay smiles tentatively. Jay says, "On that note, then, I will retreat to my own personal bat-cave." Jay says, "Andletyougotoyours :)" Pinky says, "See you in the morning, wanna go vist Kase together?" Jay says, "Sure. I'll drive." Jay smiles. Pinky says, "And rememeber Not a WORD at the hospital." Jay puts his hand on the doorknob. "Unless, of course, you can FLY us there or something." He grins, then goes serious. "Listen.. you can trust me. No one will ever know by my word. There are secrets I've kept for 27 years."

The old motel offices have been converted into a laundromat, and the motel rooms are of course apartments now, with the first floor accessible from the parking lot, and the second floor from a balcony that wraps around the inner edge of the building.

Apartments 102/103(#825RntJ) This apartment is different from the others. It seems to originally have been two apartments, but the center dividing wall has been knocked out, and now there is one large space where there once was two. A bit of renovations have gone on inside, too, leaving the place basically as one large apartment. There are still two closets, one at each door. The one by the door to 102 holds Jay's coats, jackets, runners, uniforms, and work boots, while the one closer to 103's door has Kasey's outerwear and footwear in it. The living room sports a nice-looking couch, a large-screen TV and high-quality entertainment center, and a comfortable chair, all arrayed around a smallish coffee table. The kitchen has the usual, a sink, stove, fridge/freezer, and microwave, along with some countertop and cupboards. The bedroom is larger than in most of the single apartments, with a double-size bed taking up most of the space, flanked by two night tables. The ensuite bathroom has a sink, shower stall, tub, toilet, and another counter with a mirror behind it, appears to be used as a makeup table.

Pinky follows since Jay knows this place MUCH better than her. Jay takes Pinky up in the elevator and enters room V283, a semi-private room, with four beds separated by curtains. Kasey is in bed D, nearest the outside wall. She's looking out the window at the looooovely view of the helipad right now. Pinky says, "Hi Kase!" Pinky runs up to her bed. Kasey blinks and turns over and smiles faintly. "Hiya," she croaks. Jay walks up to the bedside. Pinky says, "You feeling better?" Kasey answers hoarsely, "I feel like I been throwing up all night, and my throat is on fire, but they say I can go anytime." She smiles. Jay says, "Hey, you." Jay squeezes her hand. Kasey squeezes back. Kasey says, "Never had an allergic reaction like THIS before.." Pinky says, "Er..they didn't tell you?" Jay looks at Pinky, then Kasey. Kasey says, "Tell me what?" Pinky says, "That was NO allergic reaction." Jay explains all about the tainted pizza. Kasey says, "....but who would wanna do that?" Jay ers.. then shuts up. Pinky says, "Dunno really." Pinky says, "We can talk 'bout this more when we get 'cha back home thou." Kasey grins and says with a crackly dry throat, "The magic words." Kasey tries to get herself out of bed, and it goes slowly. Jay retrieves a wheelchair. Pinky says, "Back in the wheelchair again!" Pinky says, "Poor youse." Kasey yeah, yeahs. Kasey sits down. Jay wheels her out of the room and out to the nurses' station, where she has to sign out. Kasey says, "I still can't believe someone would want to poison you.." Kasey says, "I mean, I presume it was meant for you.. it came to your place.." Pinky says, "I know, I find it hard to belive too.." Kasey starts up a coughing fit. Kasey says, "Ugh..."

Kasey says, "I guess I have noone to blame but myself for this.. after all, it's not like you had X-ray vision to see the bad stuff on the pizza.." Estian wanders around aimlessly for where Jay said Kasey would be yesterday. Kasey and Jay and Pinky are at the nurses' station, signing the former out. Jay says, "Okay, done and paid for. Let's go." Estian finaly see's them at the end of a hall, and walks down it towards them Jay says, "And don't you get up. You know the rules: Insurance sez you gotta be wheeled out, even if you can run." Pinky says, "You think you can walk Kase?" Kasey says, "Oh yeah, sure I can. It's just the pipes that're rusty. And a big ol' bottle of Dew will solve that." Jay says, "Oh, hi, Est.. just in time." Kasey looks up. Kasey waves at Estian with a smile. Pinky ews. Kasey says, "What?" Pinky says, "Moutain dew, made from the residue of the other sodas." Estian smiles back "Hi Kasey, are you ok now?" Kasey says, "Hey, I don't insult your crab cola or whatever you called it." Kasey says very hoarsely, "I'm not doin' too bad, Estian, but I have a really sore throat."

Jay erfs. The picture shows a guy leaping to the ground, carrying the pizza box. He crosses the street and enters the courtyard, putting a cap on over a tuft of spiky blond hair. Then he goes to 116, hands over the pizza; as the door closes, he LEAPS straight up and out of frame, presumably to the 2nd floor balcony or rooftop. Five minutes later, the ambulance is there.
