Old Chaos (9781564747136) (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Where the hell was Beth? Rob watched the ambulance bearing Mack and his granddaughter leave for the hospital. The siren gave a single yelp. He was standing by the cars waiting for the search and rescue team with its dogs. The Scene of Crime van had arrived, and he’d ordered the crew to string light cables over to the Gautier place. He’d tried to call Drinkwater, to find out about the other houses, but got voice mail. He left another message, then called Minetti, who was busy looking for a hydraulic engineer. Rob took a swallow of Meg’s coffee and eased his sore shoulders. He’d eaten half a muffin someone offered and probably ought to finish it while he waited. It hadn’t taken him and Jake long to free Mack’s legs with the jack, but Rob was afraid to move his old friend. The injuries looked too terrible. So they’d rigged a shelter with Jake’s slicker. Mack wasn’t bleeding a lot by then, and Jake claimed he’d found a pulse, but Rob wasn’t optimistic. When they arrived, the medics looked grave.
