It wasn't until they'd reached the hospital did he come to realize that Evangeline was with them throughout the whole journey. Before her directions on where to park the car, there was a strange silence from her. Not a single word was said. He was suddenly worried about her. Eric wasn't sure if she was having trouble absorbing the reality of what'd just happened or if it was something else altogether. He'd thought that she herself needed to be looked at, not physically though but mentally. Yet he'd said nothing. Deciding instead to observe her a little bit more before jumping to the conclusion. Watching her as she hurried herself into the building and reemerged with help, he noticed her sense of urgency.<br/><br/>Before he knew it, she was back in the car and was already suggesting that they should hurry back to the scene. He couldn't help but quietly and quickly piece together what she'd said and the reaction she'd given off since the incident. It seemed that there's something troubling her on the site. Her shocking expression and the hasty call for help, then having another conversation on the phone and also the desire to stay behind. Something about the factory he'd overheard her say.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">There's somebody she dearly cares about on site? Could be her boyfriend.. Or a family member..</span><br/><br/>"Hey, are you..." he began to speak but was interrupted with the tapping on the window.<br/>"I'm sorry but I needed one of you to fill in the papers as the patient's guardian," said a nurse.<br/>"What?!" he exclaimed, not that he didn't hear what was being said, it's just that he thought the matter was irrelevant at the moment. "You know her, don't you?" he gestured towards Evangeline with his thumb the same way one would call for a lift on the road. "Use her details and fill it up for us.."<br/>"I apologize sir, but I'm a newly transferred staff and some of the veterans here are too busy. I'm just following the protocol, sir. Please cooperate.."<br/><br/>And before he could properly digest the situation, a vehicle appeared in his back mirror. The nurse that was speaking to him was suddenly called over to help. Apparently, they're from the site as well, having made the same plans as Eric had.<br/><br/>"Hey, we could use some help here!" a voice called out.<br/>"Shit!" the mechanic breathed. "I'll go help them with the wounded! You go ahead with the form-filling crap inside!" Eric said. "Let's get this over with quickly so we can head back out there!" he continued, indirectly assuring her that he'd the intention of returning to the site with her.<br/><br/>However, things didn't look like they were going in favor to both Evangeline and Eric at the moment. One after another, the wounded kept pouring in. The hospital soon became too crowded with patients and had too little staff to work with. Eventually, the helpers became volunteers, assisting with whatever they can to avoid a blockage at the entrance of the hospital.<br/><br/>"Hey.." Eric managed to find Evangeline. "How do I address you?" he paused but resumed with what he was going to say. "Listen, whoever it is that's out there might be worrying about you the same way.. So I suggest you try calling them.. Both to see if they're okay as well as to say you're alright yourself.."
