TONY LEANED FORWARD in the passenger seat and braced one hand on the dashboard.
âI think you can make it,â he yelled. âBut itâll be close.â
Kevin kept his hands on the wheel of the rescue truck and frowned, his neck and shoulders tight with concentration. âWish these tourists would learn to park,â he muttered.
A small red car was double-parked on a bustling downtown street. During the height of spring break season in Cape Pursuit. And the driverâs-side door was standing open, just asking to be taken off by the rescue truck. Kevin remembered the tense voice dispatching them to a 911 call for a child who wasnât breathing. Every second counted when someoneâs life was on the line. The siren was loud, even inside the cab, and his adrenaline still rushed as much as it had when he was a new firefighter, over five years ago.
Tony pulled the air horn and the noise reverberated off the commercial buildings lining the street. âYouâll barely squeeze by if nobody does anything stupid.â
Kevin hoped, as always, that no one would risk their life by stepping into the street. His heart sank when three teenagers on bicycles suddenly swerved off the sidewalk and pedaled against traffic on Kevinâs left. No helmets, no brains. Tourists.
The teenagers, cords from their earbuds flapping, looked up in panic at the massive emergency vehicle bearing down on them.
âAnyone in that red car?â Kevin shouted. He knew it was too late to stop, and even slowing down wouldnât help much.
âNot that I can see,â his partner said.
Kevin held his breath and veered to miss the cyclists at the last second. The heavy-duty ambulance barely shuddered when it sliced the door off the double-parked red car and deposited it in the street in a sparkling rain of shattered glass.
