I'm sorry.
It's so quiet now you are gone.
I know I'm the one to blame.
I didn't pay attention.
We'll miss you.
I'm sorry.

It should have been just another normal working day. Some patients, some charts, some medication. But this day wasn't just an ordinary day. Something went terrible wrong. Sure, it started off nicely. Not too many patients and the residents and medical students all did their thing and didn't have to worry. It was snowing outside and some of the ER doctors had fun with the snow while they were on break. Then a patient came in. He seemed okay and didn't have any visual injuries, so he was placed in a room for some tests. Later that day an old lady came to the ER, suffering from a loss of fluids. There was a car accident which got the ER team on the run. They couldn't save the husband and wife and the couple left their two children. Problems started to pile up as the first patient wasn't doing to well, and psych was backed up. An ER med student had a hard time when the old lady died. The student looked for comfort on the roof of the hospital and another ER doc came to talk and support her. He joked a bit and they settled down, and went back to celebrate that years Valentine Party. The doctor decided to check on his med student because she was taking far too long on that psych patient. And then it happened. So much for February 14, 2000.

Lucy returned to Curtain three after Carter's annoying speech that she had to get the psych down there now. He made it sound like it was all her fault and that she wasn't doing the best she could. However, she had stayed with her patient all day, supporting him. Carter had told her that other patients were waiting. She knew that, but she didn't feel the urge to grab a chart as she now was devoted to Sobriki. If he indeed was schizophrenic as she thought he was, it could mean her break trough to psychology medicine. "Hey Paul, how are you now? I heard you put on a fight with a school mate. Is that right?" she looked at him, observing him. "They wanted to hurt me!" he yelled without control. Lucy shook her head. "Nobody wants to hurt you Paul, we want to help you." She offered him her Valentine cart. "Here, you can have this. Isn't it pretty?" He looked at her awkwardly. "Valentine?" Lucy nodded. He shook his head and refused to take it. "They all want to hurt me!" he blurted out again. "Who want to hurt you Paul? What are they trying to do?" she sat down next to him. He settled down a bit. "They are going to take my organs." He explained. Lucy raised her eyebrows. Music was filling the ER, the party had started. She wanted to join them, but she couldn't leave Paul. The loud music irritated him. "I can't let them take my organs! I. I got to go!" He wanted to stand up but Lucy made him stay in bed. "Paul, we are not going to take your organs. We only have to do some more tests." he interrupted her, frightening her. "You. you want to take my organs!" he looked at her with a strange fixation. Lucy started to take some distance from him. "I can't let you take my organs!" suddenly he jumped forward. It happened so quickly that Lucy couldn't do anything. She felt a sharp pain hitting her belly. Then she noticed the long knife. She tried to block him and she screamed. The Valentine cart fell on the floor and he stabbed her again. She fell on the cold floor, next to the bed. "Help me!" she screamed. It hurt her as she spoke. The music was too loud for anyone to hear. The shock was overwhelming her. She felt the warm blood running past her head. Paul was still standing there, in front of her. She breathed heavily, her throat made a funny sound. She could feel the pain everywhere and she feared another attack. None came. He moved away from her. She felt some relief. Then he turned the lights off and turned the blinds down. The sudden darkness frightened the weakened girl. She was lying on her belly; her hand was lying in her own blood, apparently flowing from her neck. She made a quick analysis of her current state. She knew she had been stabbed in her belly and neck. There should be more, but her mind was fading so much she couldn't place them. She could feel his presence. She was getting ready to pass out.
**********
She opened her eyes as she heard a faint sound of the door opening. Could the person entering be her rescuer? She was bleeding to death and she knew that. It was a horrible knowing. Please, please notice me. Don't leave me lying here. she prayed. The man bent down, taking her cart from the floor. She recognised the face. Carter! She opened her mouth to scream to him, to warn him for the danger still in this room. She couldn't make a sound, her body was too weak. Fear overshadowed her heart as she heard him being stabbed. No! Lucy closed her eyes, tears running over her face. She heard a crash cart falling over as he hit the floor. "Somebody!" he yelled. Poor Carter, no body would hear him as the music was flowing trough the room. He landed on the ground and Lucy saw his frightened face. She knew very well what he was going trough. She didn't mind the pain anymore; she was going to die now anyway. She felt sorry for him. She could see the horror in his eyes; those eyes had just faced death. She noticed Sobriki disappeared. She knew she was near passing out. She forced herself to stay awake, to see Carter. He tried to get up, but he was too weak and helplessly fell back on the floor. Then he saw her. His eyes couldn't believe the horror. She looked at him desperately, opening her mouth to scream. "Lucy!" he shouted. The girl felt her eyes turning away and she closed them, finally passing out.
