One Step Closer
The race
The road wet because of the heavy rain that has occured in the night..which still continued as a light shower
Birds chirping like a choir in a complete sync, the sunrise causing the soft golden glow making the scenery peaceful and naturally pleasing
But in mid of all of this, from a little distance roar of engines echoed as the group of bikers raced coming out of the tunnel.
Now riding on the wet open road swiftly,so fast that it's hard to keep the eye on one
All of them looking like professionals, their competency making it hard to predict who'll win.
Unknown
*On one of the bike,Bluetooth on* You'll loose..Be ready this time.
Unknown
*Smirks* Like always. *His sharp eyes on the road* We'll see.. *Speeds up leaving all the bikes behind as he glides farther away*
Unknown
*Groans* Man not again..
All the bikes behind trying to catch up..but they were late because that bike was way too far now.
Unknown
*Grits his teeth,looking at him disappearing into the distance* Sh*t!! *Complaining tone* Every f*UCKING time..
Unknown
*Smirking as he crosses the finish line, near the outskirts of the city*
Unknown
*Frowns as he feels a sudden unease realizing that his brakes are not working and even struggling to slow down the bike*
He was heading into an unfamiliar territory,far from the safety of their usual racing ground
Just as he was trying to assess the situation a small kid no more than 10 years old in a school uniform darted onto the road sprinting towards a terrified puppy sitting in middle of the road.
Unknown
*Eyes widen* F*CK!
Unknown
*Without even a second thought he swerved to avoid the puppy and the child from harm*
The bike screeches in protest as he lost control
Time seemed to slow down as the bike rolled,throwing him off
Unknown
*Feeling himself dragged along the road, the concrete scraping along his skin*
The bike with a crunch landed on the one side while him laying motionless on the otherside, as the kid watched everything in horror
Unknown
*Looking for him* Where is he?
Unknown
Is he gone already? That b*stard didn't even wait for us!
A man is lying injured on the road surrounded by public who are trying to comprehend how did he got into this situation?
People
Oh God! The guy is badly injured!
People
*Some of them* Yeah! His body is moving a little.. Don't go near, it's a police case
People
YeH what if we get stuck for no reason. He must be driving carelessly
Unknown
*Not in condition to understand anything, all he could sense right now is some people murmuring*
Right then a car halts and a girl comes sout of it running towards him, piercing through the public,asking what happened?
Unknown
*Looks at the person,lying on the road* Oh my God!
Unknown
*Goes near him immediately,checking his pulse*
People
Hey! Don't touch him. It's a police case..
Unknown
*Glares at them* Are you guys dumb? Someone is dying here and that's what you are thinking instead of helping?
Unknown
Seriously people are rotten in their head these days.
Unknown
Anyone called an Ambulance?
Unknown
*Closes her eyes in frustration*
Unknown
*Checks her watch* We need to take him to the hospital fast.
People
*Everyone looks away,ike trying to avoid the responsibility that they might have to take*
Unknown
*Disappointed* Seriously?!!
Unknown
*Shouts in anger* Atleast please can somone help me take him to my car?
Two men came and helped the guy lay down in back seat of her car
Unknown
*Immediately starts the engine* Don't worry..I won't let anything happen to you!
Unknown
*Heard her, and then get complete unconcious as he has lost too much blood already*

*Throws keys towards someone, as she opens the car door in hurry*
Five people, three medical professionals and two guy's holding stretcher, rushed towards the car

Prakhar Saxena
*Nods with a chuckle* True! But still..*Holds her hand*
Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
*Looks at it*
Prakhar Saxena
*Soft concerned tone* You're okay?! I heard you went there again!
Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
*Nods, brushing his hands with her thumb a little* I'm fine Prakhar.. Stop worrying!
Prakhar Saxena

Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)

Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
*Shook her head with a smile* Thanks but no..And anyway I'm always in hospital I don't really need it
Prakhar Saxena
But..Niti you do a lot more than this world deserves, think for yourself sometimes too.
Prakhar Saxena
I'm afraid that some day this might land you in trouble
Prakhar Saxena
I mean the way you did everything without his personal information and in absence of his family..
Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
*Understanding the reference*
Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
His life was in danger! I can't watch a patient die infront of my eyes just because I don't have his family's consent.
Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
I'll take full responsibility.*Picks up a file* He's fine now anyway
Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
And about landing in trouble and thinking for myself?! I have you!
Prakhar Saxena

*Chuckles* Correct! *Focusing back on the file*
Prakhar Saxena

Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
No.. it's not like that! Just little headache
Prakhar Saxena
That's why you should eat more.So you don't take tension
Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
*Putting her chin on her hand* Mr. Prakhar..Where's logic?
Prakhar Saxena
Oh I just saw it jumping off a cliff😉
Nitanshi Dixit(F.L)
*Laughs*
Some Bodyguards with their dangerous aura walking inside the hospital, their eye's straight focused on the way ahead
Ahead of them is walking a man with his stern expressions on his face, but still a little concern evident
Advik Agnihotri (M.L friend/ Partner)
*Commanding voice* Shlok Singhania. Where's he?
The girl on the reception denied that there's no patient with this name..
Advik Agnihotri (M.L friend/ Partner)

Sameera Anand(F.L friend)

Prakhar Saxena
He's no normal person, the more he'll stay here the more problematic it'll get for our Hospital
