Chapter one

"Come in County General, this is Rescue 3 at the scene of a trauma, Mercedes against Civic. We got 2 MVA victim, 1major heading your way ETA 10 minutes"

Carter spins in his chair and grabs the speaker

"Positive Rescue 3, well be ready for you"

Carter looks around the ER, the sight isn't overly encouraging. Weaver is yelling, med students are looking lost and patients are complaining more than ever.

"Sigh, why do I even bother!"

Carter along with Abby and two other ER nurses stand outside waiting for the incoming

Ambulances. Abby stares at Carter and quickly looks away as carter turns around and looks back.

"What?" Carter wonders why Abby is like this, she has been staring at him this way all day.

"Nothing" There's a silent pause "Well not nothing, its just that you…"

Abby is interrupted as the ambulances rush in the entrance

"Abby you and Pratt take the first one – im taking care of the second"

Carter looks as Abby takes away the first victim, it seems he is in pretty bad shape. The EMS hands over the second victim to Carter, the victim seems unconscious, she is immobilized completely with neck brace and everything.

"What do we have?"

"Woman mid 30's, possible rib fractures, good clean breathing pulse at 110 found unconscious in her car"

"Alright we got it from here"

Carter pulls the victim into Trauma 2, Sam is there to assist him.

As Carter begins to examine the victim she wakes up

"Hi, im Dr. Carter your in the ER you were brought here after a car crash, you will be fine were just making sure you are not bleeding or have any traumas to your back."

The victim pauses a second, she sighs loudly and says quietly

"Yeh, I know the routine – Im a fourth-year emergency medicine resident in Montreal."

"Alright then I guess ill skip over the explanations!"

Carter and the woman exchange a small giggle

"Were sending you off to the scan, to check up on those ribs of yours"

As Carter begins to push the woman out Abby rushes into the room screaming

"CARTER WE NEED YOU NOW!"

Sam signals to Carter to join Abby and continues pushing the woman to the elevator.

Carter walks to Abby while whispering to himself 'I feel it, this day day is going to be hell'

He had no clue how right he was.
