CARLO CAME to upside down, blood dripping from his face. His head was ringing, and he wasn’t instantly sure what was happening, but it started slowly coming back to him.
First, he was being held by his seat belt, and he was aware of an inordinate amount of blood. He thought it was from him somehow, until he saw the arm and realized he wasn’t alone in the wreck. The man slumped halfway through a broken windscreen, a headset askew on his skull, kicked off a couple of memories. He had been in a helicopter, and he still was. He was being evacuated, and.... What? Was there an explosion? He thought he remembered that, and maybe that’s why his hearing was so fuzzy. Definitely, they had crashed.
It seemed to take a minute for him to get his hands to work well enough to undo the seat belt, and even though he thought he was braced for it, he really wasn’t sufficiently prepared for the fall. He hit the roof-turned-floor harder than he expected, and it sent shocks of new, staggering pain through his body. Maybe the belt had saved him from being thrown, but he was still hurt. He just wasn’t sure how badly.
Carlo had a sense he didn’t have time to take stock, not here, although he wasn’t sure why. He managed to get up on his hands and knees, even though his left arm hurt a lot, and he reached over the broken seat to feel for a pulse on the pilot. In retrospect, the sheer amount of blood should have been enough to tell him the man was dead. But Carlo felt like he was in shock.
He scrambled out of the chopper, which looked to have been shattered on a cobblestone side street, narrowly missing what looked to be several similar-looking, drab cinder block buildings. Since the sky was as gray as his surroundings, the blood was absurdly vivid on the stones, like fresh paint.
Carlo’s first attempt to stand up triggered a pain that ripped through his chest and nearly doubled him over. When he caught his breath, he grabbed hold of the chopper and used it to pull himself to his feet. He could taste blood and wasn’t sure if it
