She looked outside watching the rain come down. She gave a sigh as she went to the admit desk. "Today is so dead. We need something to do."
"Are you saying you want more people hurt?"
"No, I just said we should do something. I'm glad people aren't hurt, that's a very good thing, but if no one's doing anything, then why not do something about it."
"Write out your charts you're not caught up on your reports."
"I meant something fun." She said pulling her long hair back into a low pony tail.
He gave a laugh. "You just said something, you didn't say something fun or boring."
"Sarcasm is my area in this place, not yours." She smiled.
"I'm catching on pretty fast." The dark, tall, handsome doctor replied.
She smiled at him. "So I don't even think your charts are caught up, Dr. Kovac."
"I just finished them up, Dr. Lockhart." He smirked.
"Oh you just think you're so great, huh? Since you are, do want to finish mine?"
He laughed. "Nice try."
Someone walked up. "What's a nice try?"
Luka looked over at the new punk, rock type of guy. "Abby, is trying to put her unfinished charts in my hands."
"Hey, you can't blame a girl for trying."
"No, but I can blame a girl for trying to pawn off her work on someone else." Dr. Kovac said.
"Hold on, I don't recall pawning anything off. I just offered to hand it over." Abby laughed.
"Ha, nice try, trying to cover it up, aren't you?" Dr. Kovac smiled.
"Okay, you two stop flirting, we have a job to do." The punk rock doctor told them.
"Dr. Ray Barnett, what job are you talking about? In case you haven't noticed there are no patients here." Abby said pointing to the waiting room.
"Okay, I stand corrected, you have a job to do in there." Ray pointed to the doctors' lounge, "It's called charts."
"That is most definitely true." Kovac nodded.
"Ugh, you guys can't gang up on my like that!" Abby exclaimed.
"You're speaking in present tense when you should be speaking in future tense because we already did gang up on you." Ray laughed.
"You know what?" Abby mumbled.
"What?" Kovac asked.
"Never mind." Abby groaned, walking towards the doctor's lounge. "If anyone needs me, I'll be suffocating myself under charts!" Abby yelled.
"At least you're in the right place." Kovac hollered back.
Abby was just about to walk in the lounge when the ER doors opened, she walked over to see what it is.
"Help me!"
Abby looked at Ray and Luka. "Saved by the patient." She smiled.
"We can get the patient, Abby, go do your charts." Luka told her.
Abby narrowed her eyes at him. "You are so not cool."
"Never said I was." He said as Dr. Barnett and himself went to the patient.
Abby was standing there watching them when Frank came up to her. "Tough luck, huh?"
"Tell me about it. Where's all the girls at? I'm the only one here, there are all male nurses, and then the rest of the doctors are male. They're just trying to punish me. I need someone on my side."
Frank laughed. "They're just trying to help you."
"Yeah by suffocating me!" She hid a laugh. "I'm going to see if they need help, even if they throw me out." She went into the room. "You guys need help?" She put gloves on and walked over to them.
"No, I think we have it. Go do your charts."
"I don't want to. I want to help."
"Abby." Dr. Kovac looked up at her.
"Just let me help with this patient, then you two can lock me in there until I get them done."
He looked into her big brown eyes and nodded. "Okay, patient then charts."
"CT, blood gas and ultrasound, stat." Ray ordered listening to the man's heart.
"Call ortho and tell them to get down here…" Kovac ordered.
Abby laughed and stood at the door. "I thought you were going to help with the patient?" Kovac asked.
"Nah, I think you guys are doing a great job." Abby smiled.
"Those charts aren't going to get done themselves you know?" Ray looked at her.
"I don't know, a little fairy named Luka may do it for me." She smiled sweetly.
"I need a central line kit." Kovac said ignoring her remark.
"He will not be doing them, he is going to stay strong, aren't you man?" Ray yelled.
"Let's spend our time on the patient instead of this." Kovac told them.
"Luka, his heart is slowing and his blood pressure is…" A nurse informed him.
"Get the crash cart now!" he yelled looking over to Ray. "You going to help or not?"
"Yeah, sorry." Ray waltzed over.
"I think I'll just go and do my charts now." Abby informed them as she began to walk out. She observed them from the hallway performing desperate measures to save the young man. CPR was being done and the man was being hooked to a ventilator to keep his heart going. She walked away knowing that the man would probably not survive.
Frank looked over. "Thought you were going to help."
She went to the desk and collected her things. "They have it under control. The patient isn't doing so well either."
"He did look pretty bad when he came in. So you're just going to give up on him?"
"I didn't give up. I didn't even touch the patient." She went into the lounge and sat down.
Luka kept doing CPR on the patient as Ray tried everything. "V-fib!" The nurse called out.
"250!" Ray took the paddles. "Clear!" He shocked him as soon as Luka stopped CPR.
"No change." The nurse called out.
"300!" He waited. "Clear!" He shocked him again.
"Still nothing."
Luka started CPR again.
"Luka, stop. It's over, Time of death 13:17."
Luka moved away. "There's something we should have done. He should still be alive."
"He was to far gone, I'm going to go talk to the family." He took his gloves off and went out to confront the family.
Luka stood in the room and watched Ray. The woman almost fell to the floor crying. He closed his eyes and walked out of the room, taking his gloves off.
Abby sat at the doctor's lounge table and stacked her charts in front of her. Her cell phone went off and she answered. "Hello…"
Luka walked into the lounge and stared at Abby who had just hung up her phone. "Luka, I have to go."
"What? Why?"
"I got a phone call and there are some things I need to take care of."
"Like what?"
"Just family problems…I'll come back as soon as I can and finish up my charts."
Luka could tell something was wrong. Abby's voice had begun to shake and her eyes were filling with tears. "Don't worry about it, you can do them on your next shift. Just take care of whatever you need to take care of." Luka told her.
Abby walked out.
"Hey, you're supposed to be doing charts where are you going?" Ray asked.
"Bite me." Abby yelled at him.
"Just leave her alone." Kovac ordered walking out of the lounge.
"What's the problem?" Ray asked noticing Abby's face.
"Just go Abby." Luka said. Abby walked out. "She's having some family problems. I'm sure she'll fill us in when the time is right."
"Oh." Ray mumbled watching Abby's retreating figure.
