attached to his belt.   He was dazed.   His right arm hung down with a severe bend in it.   Probably broken or dislocated.   When Danielle got to him, she realized that he was Jake Jameson.   Jake had been her lead on several rescue missions by Alaskans on Call.
      "Jake, can you hear me?"
    "What happened?"
    "Not sure, but it looks like you caught a tree with the main rotor then augured in.   Most of the team look like they have been knocked out, but I don't see any visible injuries other than that."
    "Is that you Danielle?"
    "Yes, it's me."
    "I wasn't given a name just a location for you.   Ohh, the arm hurts like hell."
    "I will try to get you down.   Let me get under you left arm so you can hold on while I release your safety strap."
    "OK."
    "There, put your left arm around my neck, I going to hold on to your left arm with my right and release the strap with my left.   I'll go on three."
    "Understood."
    "One, Two, Three."
    Danielle braced hard as his weight shifted to her.
    "Aah." Jake groaned as his arm moved with the maneuver.   Then Danielle's strength allowed Jake get to his feet.
    "Knew you were strong, but not that strong.   So glad you were here."
    "Probably a little adrenalin Chief."
    "We came to rescue you and your friends, but it looks like your going to have to rescue us all," Said Jake.
    "That's no fair."
    She smiled when she said it, but he had been her crew chief on several occasions, now the responsibility was falling on her.
    "Danielle, I know you can do it."
    With that, Jake Jameson passed out.   She let him down as slowly as she could.   Danielle checked his pulse and respiration and realized he had probably passed out from the pain.   Now she needed to check thoroughly on the others then she needed to get Bill and Betsy and the satellite phone here as soon as she could.   Everyone else seemed to have only minor scrapes and contusions.   The pilot had come to and was OK.
    "I need to get my two friends then we"ll be back as soon as possible."
    "I'll be alright," the pilot said.   He climbed down from the destroyed machine and sat down against a tree.
    She began to jog as fast as she could and soon she could see the pair sitting on a rock.   They waved when they saw her coming closer through the woods.
    "The rescue crew seems to have only minor injuries except my old Chief."
    "So now there are…"
    "Eight of us needing rescue," Said Danielle.
    "That is not good news," Said Betsy.
    Danielle picked up the satellite phone and change it to talk.
    “This is Danielle Eagleton, Alaskans on Call, CRR# AK5267,” She said.
    "What is the situation Danielle, we lost contact with Rescue One about a half an hour ago."
    "Apparently, a wind gust pushed them into trees around the clearing they were trying to land in and the vehicle lost its rotors and hit hard.   Chief Jameson sustained a severely injured arm, but everyone else seems to have gotten through with only minor injuries.   There are now eight souls that need your help," Said Danielle.
    "Copy that.   Unfortunately, we have no other aircraft in the vicinity.   We will need to send a land rescue party.   It will take some time to get to you.   Please keep the phone on Transpond."
    "OK."
    Danielle put the phone into her backpack, and they started out for the helicopter crash site.   It took about twenty minutes to work their way to the site.   When they arrived, everyone was conscious.   One of the medics was tending to Jake, who seemed to be under some pain medication.   The medication made him not quite himself.
    "Hi Dani, it's so good to see that beautiful face."
    He looked up into the medic’s face.   "Doesn't she have a great bod."
    "Sir, you need to be quiet now the pain medicine is talking."
    "It's OK corpsman, I understand, the Chief is an excellent gentleman," She said.
    The Chief looked like he was thinking why did I say that .
    Betsy and Bill were smiling.   The Chief's men were controlling themselves, but there was a very
