"Doc, EMS is 2 mins out with an FBI agent, possible head, neck, and back trauma!"
"Let's get trauma room 2 ready, alert CT to be ready STAT!" Kate gave the order. She could hear the sirens as she ran out to the bay. The ambulance pulled up and the paramedics hopped out and pulled out the gurney.
"Whatcha got guys?"
"43, Male, Agent Don Epps, fell from second story with suspect, suspected head, neck, back trauma, unconscious on our arrival. pupils are equal and reactive, He's got a lac to the right forearm and on above the right eye."
"Alright on my count, 1,2,3! Let's get a Chem 17, Get CT down here!" She shined her pen light in his eyes "Agent Epps, can you hear me?" He moaned a little bit. "Let's get those lac's cleaned up, and get a suture kits ready."
"CT is here doc!"
"Okay let's move him to CT! Let me know when he's back!"
Kate went to the nurses station to begin jotting down notes on her new patient. "Doc, his family is here, do you want to talk to them?"
"Yes, I'll be right out."
She walked out to the waiting room, "Epps family?"
"I'm Allen, Don's father and this is Charlie, his brother."
"Hi, I'm Dr. Faith, I'm Agent Epps' doctor. He's in CT right now we are checking for injury. I will let you know as soon as I find out anything." She shook their hand and went back to the nurses station.
"Doc, he's back!"
"Let me know when the CTs are up, let's get him sowed up!" She walked into the room and looked into his eyes with her pen light. "Agent Epps, can you hear me.?"

Don hurt all over, he could hear a sweet voice asking if he could hear her, he smelled wild flowers and sunshine, soft hands were touching him, he blinked his eyes opened and was starring into the most beautiful green eyes he'd ever seen. She smiled at him, and her eyes lit up, her smile was radiant, he looked at her name badge, Faith. Her hair was the color of the setting sun.
"Welcome back Agent Epps. I'm Dr. Faith, I'm caring for you while you're in the ER today."
"Doc CTs are up." She smiled at him again, he liked it when she smiled at him, and walked away. He heard the clicking of keys on a key board, and a mouse. She appeared again in his line of vision, smiling again.
"Good news, there is no damage to your spine, neck or head. That means we can take you off the backboard and collar." She helped the nurse take off the safety equipment and sat him up to make him more comfortable.
"Do you know what happened today?" She asked, sitting down on a stool beside the gurney. He recounted what had happened. "No memory loss, that's good. We did have to stitch up your forehead and forearm, you will have scars. But it's okay because chicks dig scars." She winked at him as she walked out of the room.
She went out to the waiting room and got Charlie and Allen showing them back to the exam room, letting them know that he had minor injuries. She went back into the exam room "If you promise to go home and take it easy I will discharge you."
Allen assured her he would make sure he followed her orders. "You can come back to the ER in a week and get the stitches removed or see your regular doctor." She prescribed him a mild pain reviler. She shook their hands and smiled her megawatt smile at the three of them. The three Epps men left the hospital, taking Don home.

"Wow, that Dr. Faith was pretty! Allen said.
"I didn't notice." Commented Don.
"Didn't notice?" Allen asked?
"I was kind of concentrating on my head pounding!" In truth Don would have to be blind not to notice her, he just didn't want his dad to play match maker. He really wanted to go back to the ER in a week and have her take out is stitches, and then see if she was free for dinner. Maybe he should start out slow and buy her some coffee.
"Remember to take it easy Don!"
"Right dad!"

Kate had finished her shift and was leaving when she was stopped by one of the paramedics. 'You want to go for a drink?"
"No thank you. It's been a long day. I'm tired!"
"Come on Kate!" He grabbed her arm and she jerked it away from him.
"I said no Paul!" She walked quickly to her car, getting in and driving home. This guy was getting ridiculous, he kept bothering her to go out, waiting for her in the parking lot after her sift. Sending her flowers at work. If he didn't stop soon she was going to have to go to his supervisor. He was starting to creep her out.
She pulled into her drive ten minutes later and noticed Paul's truck passed by, great now he's following her home. She pulled into the garage and hurried and shut the door. She rushed inside and set the alarm, this guy was really starting to bother her. She was too tired to eat, she got ready and went to bed.
She dreamed that Paul had broke into her house and was chasing her with a knife trying to kill her. He had her tied up, laughing she was scared. A dark haired, dark eyed FBI agent busted into her bedroom and saved her. It was Agent Epps, he smiled her and said "Chicks dig scars, he untied her and kissed her." She sat up and rubbed her eyes. Now what the hell was that about?
