"Well, don't we look nice," laughed Helen Magnus. "Going somewhere are we?"
"No, Abby's coming over." Replied a blushing Will, as Magnus walked off smiling to herself.
As Will looked at his watch for the fiftieth time in an hour, the doorbell rang through the empty halls of the Sanctuary.
"Abby?" Will exclaimed excitedly and ran to the large wooden front doors. As he gathered himself, he opened the doors and saw no one.
"Will!" As he looked down, he saw his girlfriend kneeling next to the pale, unconscious body of a teenager. "I found her, just lying here at your front door. What do we do?" Asked the concerned Abby.
By this point, Will's mind was racing, and fair enough, he has just discovered his girlfriend and an unknown girl at his front door. "Help me get her inside, and I'll get Magnus." As they lay the girl on the ground, Will looked over to Abby and shocked said; "Abby! You're bleeding!"
Frightened Abby looked where Will had indicated, "it's not mine…"
"Lay her down here," Magnus instructed her oldest friend. "Have Henry prepare an OR please."
With one last glance at the redheaded girl, Biggie did as he was told.
Checking the girls pulse, Magnus looked up suddenly, "Bloody hell! Will, get the paddles. Charge to 180." Will did as he was asked without a word. "Clear!" The body of the young teen jolted upwards as the shock restarted her heart.
Magnus looked at her protégé and knowingly, he said "I'll get the big guy." And ran off, leaving Helen and Abby to take in what had just happened.
"Abby, are you alright?" Helen said softly to Abby who was standing looking out of the large window in the hallway, which evidently was the one everybody seemed to go to think.
"I'm fine. Well, I will be."
"If it wasn't for you, that girl would be much worse off Abby, you should be proud."
Laughing, Abby turned to face Helen. "I just turned up at your door, and found her lying there. It was pure luck."
"Luck, well, Tesla used to say…"
"Doc, sleeping beauty's awake" Henry cut in.
"Sleeping beauty?" Shaking her head, she followed her co-worker to the infirmary with Abby trailing silently behind.
"Please, help me." Said a voice, not from any of Magnus' colleagues. "Please, it hurts." Came the voice again, obviously from the girl in the bed.
"First, what's your name darling? Magnus asked gently.
"Anna."
"Okay Anna, what hurts?"
"What are you doing here?" Will interrupted.
With a stern look directed at Will, Magnus continued. "What hurts?"
Quietly, Anna said; "when it happens…" But before she could say what, her eyes rolled back, and she passed out once again.
