Prologue

"Miss Willows, paging Miss Catherine Willows from Sector D-2. Miss Willows, please head to Room 282. Miss Catherine Willows, from Sector D-2..."

Catherine hated days like this. The hospital was buzzing with people coming from car crashes, rape, and murder sites. Hey, it was Las Vegas. People die from really strange things, and people live through things even stranger. That was her job. She was a nurse. She got the bloodied, spastic, and traumatized people to their rooms and got them cleaned up. It should have been easy. But for clumsy Catherine Willows, God, it was the hardest job in the world.
