Go to Jackson Memorial First- his inner voice told him despite  his experience,  which told him acccidents like that don't end well - but first make the call.
-Andre Welsh. Hello lieutenant- he heard her tingling voice which was about to change soon
-Hello Andre. Can we talk?
-yes. What's on?
-There's been an accident.... Courtney Speed and the baby were crashed into a traffic lights post.
-....and?when did that happen?
-Just now. Few hours ago .Courtney and Ava are at hospital. She's lost her Memory, doesnt remember much. She's not too bad. Ava has lots od scratches and she had a concussion, but she will be fine. She needs someone close to her, she's alone there. We can't provide IT all the way...can You help somehow?
-I need to talk to Alex, can You Give me an hour?
-Yes of course, Just informing You.
-...and Tim? -She asked as if she's Just remembered.
Horatio didn't know What to say.
-..I don't know. Haven't found him yet.
-What do You mean?
-He's not at the hospital. He was surely Taken from the scene, but I'm still looking
The silence at the other end of the line told him that Andre analyzed IT fast.
She was too inteligent to be lied about.
-is there a possibility that...
-Yes. However there's another one which I'm trying to check. As soon as I know anything I'll call again.
-No matter What? Promise me.
-I promise.
-I still Hope he's somewhere at hospital
-Me too. I'll let u know.- He hung up. Then got into his car and left fast.
Entering Jackson Memorial he was thinking that in a minute all his world can crack.
-Can I help You? Nurse in an Orange suit asked him politely.
-Yes... I'm looking for a person WHO could be rushed here after the accident.
-Oh..You must enter our Ryder Trauma center. They take all these calls. Try there, ok?- She touched his arm with a warm gesture.
-There's no even point to Ask here?
-No. But try there. I hope you'll succeed
-Thank You-. His heart started beating so fast.
-Miss? He asked the first nurse he saw at Ryder's.- How can I get any information about the person WHO could have been rushed here after the accident?
-When? -She sat behind the counter and started the data system
-Yesteraday. A man around 40.
-Name?
-Speedle.
The screen flashed.
- No. No such name. Was he Taken by our ambulance?
-I don't know. He must be Somewhere!!
-Have You checked....-she stopped seeing his despaired look- I can check whether there's any John Doe....
Seconds seemed hours....-Yeah. There were three sent here yesteraday, one of them female.
-No. The male.
