A table of chapters and links to them is provided at the end of the first chapter.
The surgeons cleaned the shattered bone out the elbow joint and replaced it with an artificial joint. They pinned the fracture of the upper arm and attempted a reconstruction of the nerves, veins and arteries in it. Another surgeon did as much as possible to reconstruct her hand and wrist while the other teams had her sedated, then splinted it with a plaster splint. Before she left the OR they bandaged her arm. Only her fingers protruded from the bandage. As they left the OR the orthopedic surgeon commented that she would need additional surgery on her hand. He had not wanted to keep her sedated longer to finish the work.
DMV records showed two possible matches for the one car and three for the other based on the information from the witnesses. Officers were dispatched to go to the addresses for each DMV record and see if the could locate the cars. Over the next day they located the cars involved and were able to locate the owners and drivers. Both cars had bullet holes, one had blood stains on the front seat and the other had blood on the back floor. The police found four gang members with bullet wounds. One was dead. Two others would die in the OR. Karen had been caught in the crossfire of a serious gang shootout.
