"Come on, then," the same paramedic said, holding the door open. They were going to have to get this guy to the E room in a hurry. It was a miracle he hadn't already bled out.

When the door to the ambulance slammed shut, the vehicle's engine roared and tires squealed as the driver pointed it in the direction of the nearest hospital. The police were just beginning to arrive on the scene, more sirens and lights causing people to come out of nearby stores and apartments.

Just another night in Sin City.
