"Jacque, are you with us?" Jen asked There was still no answer

Then Sally spoke up "Ms Pierce, are you okay?"

"I hit ood," Lilly answered She looked over at Jacque in the passenger seat and saw that she was unconscious, very pale and had blood trickling down her face Lilly sucked in a deep breath and let it out slow as she reached over, hand shaking, to check for a pulse and although she could feel one she didn’t think it was as strong as it should be

Just then they all ju their attention to the front of the car The engine was on fire and the fla taller

"Ok, so I’," Jen said, her voice quivering despite her resolve to hold it together

"Jen, I must say your powers of observation astound irls, neither of you are helping with the srowled, which was completely out of character for her "I’m sorry, that was uncalled for," she told the burned alive very well, it’s a little trauhten theto do" Jen started taking charge, realizing that Lilly was going into shock and Sally ell, being Sally "Ms P, I need you to get your seat belt off and crawl to the back seat to cli out the front Sally, you need to get your seat belt off as well and crawl out yourI’et her turned so we can slide her out of herSally I need you to go around and pull her froet burned Hoe slide her? What if her neck is broken? You aren’t supposed to ht have a spinal injury What, OWWW HOLY CRAP! What was that for, you psycho cow?" Sally screamed as she placed a hand across the cheek Jen had just slapped

"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, MAN! Do what I tell you We can’t worry about her spine because it won’tSally out of her spaz attack

"Okay, okay I’ood now," Sally said as she began to cli her way to the back seat to cli on auto pilot, numb frooing around the back of the SUV, Jen began to climb to the front of the vehicle

"Jacque babe, you withJacque’s fallen hair from her face Jacque didn’t respond "Okay, chickadee, here is what’s going to happen" Jen was talking to Jacque as if she were conscious because it was the only way she could keep fro, couldn’t believe that her spunky friend was lying lirab you under your arer , then Sally is going to grab your legs and helpyour ass out of this royally screwed SUV Do you hear me, Jacque? You have to be okay, you have to be because so a pervert Jacque, Fane will go crazy without you and we both kno e a crazy ass olf can do" Jen continued to talk out loud to Jacque as she began to reach around her, sliding her right hand behind her back and underneath her right armpit She then slid her left arainst the side of the driver’s seat to gain leverage, she lifted and began to turn Jacque’s body "Holy crap, your little fra, hoss Did you hear that, Jacque? I basically just called you a fat ass, so wake up and chewbut silence to answer Jen’s rab Jacque’s legs but the fla out Sally almost felt like they were alive and deter to to burn all of us if we pull her out," Sally yelled over the roaring fire

Jen racking her brain for ideas, knowing ti short "Hey Sally, is there water anywhere in that ditch?" Jen asked, re that it had recently rained She watched as Sally took off at a run As Sally ran, Jen teo of her burden and stripped off her shirt Good thing she had decided to go with a sports bra today Then as gently as she could, which wasn’t very, but crap the car was on fire, she pulled Jacque’s jacket off

Sally was back, winded "Yes, there’s water" She was bent over, hands on her knees, gasping with all the s around

Jen threw her shirt and Jacque’s jacket at Sally "Take off your shirt and take these and get them wet, then put your shirt back on and then throw me these two back We will cover Jacque’s body in them to protect as much of her as possible as we pull her out"

"What about you?" Sally worried

"DAMMIT SALLY JUST GO!" Jen hated yelling at her but she had to keep her focused, she was also beginning to realize that she cursed a whole lot more when she was under pressure Oh well, could be worse, Jen thought

Sally was back, dripping wet in her shirt She threw the jacket and shirt to Jen and did her best to cover Jacque She figured her face and stoans, would be the most is coain got her arrabbed Jacque’s legs and on Jen’s count of three Sally pulled and Jen pushed With strength that neither could have ever drea forward out of theJen saw the flaured this would wake her friend up but Jacque never stirred Finally, Jacque’s upper body was h the hich put Jen directly in the line of fire, literally Jen felt the flames on her bare skin and couldn’t help the screa her skin acted like a whip slashing her forward intoforward, but just before she could get her and Jacque far enough froht, searing pain, and then Jen saw no more
