“Travis, I gotta try to stop the bleeding,” she said and Travis opened his eyes.

“What did Freeze say?” Travis wanted to know, as Jackie began pulling up his shirt.

“Stop the bleeding and he’ll call me back and tell me where to go. Come on Travis, help me pull this up.”

The two pulled up his shirt. “Ahh! That shit hurts!” he grimaced in pain.

When Jackie saw the bullet wound in his stomach and saw the blood coming from it, her body stiffened. She looked away and closed her eyes, but opened them quickly. “I can do this,” she said out loud. You have to do this, she said to herself, and took off her leather jacket. After tossing it in the front seat, she began taking off her silk blouse. Jackie pulled at the material and tore it. She took the biggest piece and folded it a few times before placing it on the wound. “Hold that, Travis. Put pressure on it.”

Jackie took the remaining pieces of her blouse and tied them together. “Lean up, Travis, so I can wrap this around you,” Jackie instructed, doing what she had seen on television and in the movies hundreds of times.

Travis leaned forward and Jackie started to wrap her blouse around him. That was when she noticed that there was an even bigger wound on his back.

Jackie looked around the truck for something to put over that wound. She took a deep breath and unhooked her bra.

Travis smiled.

“What?” Jackie asked, and folded the cup.

“It’s been a minute since I’ve seen the twins,” Travis commented as Jackie placed her bra over the wound.

“Whatever, Travis,” she said as she struggled to tie what was left of her blouse around him. “Sit back and keep pressure on that.” With that done, Jackie turned her attention to his leg. She took off his belt and wrapped that around his leg.
