The Accident
Disclaimer: I own no characters from ER. They are a product of the show's creative writers.
A/N: I only watch ER on TNT, not on NBC, so my information is probably out- of-date. CHAPTER 1
Dr. John Carter sat in the ER, bored. Nothing was happening. Just as he was about to finish his tenth game of solitare, nurse Carol Hathaway came running down the hall. Alarmed, Carter stood up. Carol was running so fast, she barreled right into him. Before Carter had a chance to ask what was wrong, Carol said, out of breath, "An ambulance just radioed in. Bailey and your babysitter were in a serious car accident. They're on their way here now."
Before Carter had a chance to ask, paramedics came slamming through the emergency doors. Five other doctors, Dr. Lewis, Dr. Benton, Dr. Greene, Dr. Gant, and Dr. Keaton all met the paramedics, and as Dr. Greene , Dr. Benton, and Dr. Gant went into the OR next door to Bailey to work on Carter's babysitter, Dr. Keaton pulled Carter aside. "What are you doing?" Carter asked angrily. "John, if you go in there, you'll be a distraction to Carol and Susan and me. I can't have that. Now promise me when you go in there, you'll just try to calm Bailey down." "Why can't I work on her?" "Because she's four, Carter. And she's scared to death. You're the one she trusts the most." Carter hated to admit it, but he knew she was right. "Okay." "Okay, what?" "I'll just try to calm her down." "Okay."
Carter and Keaton went in and each did their job. Carter looked at the clock. Five fouty-five. It was going to be a long night.
