The Blood Red Coat



Disclaimer- I don't own any of the character, only the plot.

Summary- A shooting at the clinic leaves one doctor dead and the other wounded. Through all the chaos one man realizes what has needed is right in front of him. Takes place in the third season, Dana is still here.

It had been a horribly busy day at the clinic and it was now 5:00pm and neither Lu nor Dana had gotten a break since lunch.

"Peter can you get Emily a refill on her inhaler?" Lu asked.

" Sure Lu no problem." He said as he led her towards the pharmacy.

" Who is next Lana?" Lu said tiredly as she walked up to the receptions desk.

" Your finally done Lu."

She breathed a sigh of relief and headed for the refrigerator. Just then Dana came out of her office. "Who's next for me Lana?"

"Well let me see." Just then Henry, one of the doctors' form up stairs, cut Lana short.

" Has anyone seen my patient? He's about 6'1'', still in a gown."

" You lost a patient? Lu asked him in disbelief as she walked over and handed Dana a half of sandwich. She smiled her thanks.

" Yeah, a mental, he knocked down three RNs and took off."

" Great, did you notify security?" Dana asked.

" Yes they are on the look out. Give me a ring if you see him."

" We will." Lu called after him.

" Before they catch that guy what are we suppose to do, just sit here and wait for him to show up and try and kill us."

" Lana don't be silly he's probably not even on this floor and security probably has him by now." Dana said as she started to walk back towards her office. Just then a gun went off.

" What the hell?!" Lu said as she turned to her left and saw a man come running down the hall carrying a gun.

" Hit the dirt everyone!" Someone yelled. Everything seemed to go in slow motion for Lu.

Lana ducked behind the reception desk, Lu and Dana were frozen in their places not daring to move. He pointed the gun at Lu. She squeezed her eyes shut and braced her self for the shot. The gun went off.

After a few seconds she opened her eyes and turned around to see Dana fall to the floor a few feet away from her, holding her right side. Following her instinct Lu lunged for her. Quickly ripping Dana's pence to where she could see where the wound was located and how bad the bullet was imbedded. "Damn it!!" Lu yelled as she pressed down on the hole with the sleeve of her coat. She was about to yell for assistance when the man stood over her.

"Get away." He commanded as he cocked his gun and aimed it at Lu's head.

Lu stayed where she was pushing down harder on Dana as the blood turned her white coat a deep red.

" I said get away!!!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

Lu stayed where she was. Everyone else in the room was dead silent. Lana watched helplessly form under the desk.

"You asked for it you murderer!!!!" He yelled as he cocked the gun and pulled the trigger.
