Chapter One

It had been a long day. Monday's were the worst. It seemed everything happened on Mondays and today was no exception. Cassie felt like her day had gone to the garbage dump. She enjoyed her profession for the most part. Her mother, Dr. Janet Fraiser, was her hero, repeatedly said, "Momma said there would be days like this" and she would be right. A car pile up in one day would get anybody stressed but two in one day. She shook her head.

Cassie had just come off her work shift after dealing with victims from one car pile up when the another round of victims entered into the hospital from a totally different accident. Twelve hours later, working double shifts and drinking Daniel induced coffee, she plopped herself on the doctors lounge couch, reached for the chair and put her feet on it, crossing them, then very gingerly put her head back on the back of the couch and closed her eyes.

"Cassie," said a soft voice that was standing directly above her face. She opened one eye and looked at Daniel then groaned. "You know that I was having a lovely dream about wild flowers don't you. It was peaceful. Daniel what are you doing here?" Her sarcasm she acquired from her Uncle Jack and it had come in handy so many times.

Daniel chuckled softly, "Cassie you have been asleep for six hours according to your supervisor. He didn't have the heart to wake you and on top of that you were supposed to be at my place after your shift."

Cassie took her feet off the chair and scooted back so that her back was against the back of the couch. She raised her hands and rubbed them over her face, "Well joy". She took a big breath and released it, "Time to go home."

"Yup"

Cassie raised an eyebrow at Daniel's one word answer, "You've been hanging around Uncle Jack again."

Daniel didn't answer her but his grin was all that was needed for her to confirm her suspicions.

Once Cassie was outside with Daniel she had to squint against the sun shining in her tired eyes. As they walked toward Daniels car, she could feel in her gut that she was going to be using the last of her reserves that were just restored not six hours ago.

Daniel got in the car after getting Cassie in first. Cassie was grateful that he was driving. She didn't want to be in a wreck. As the saying goes, "Doctors are the worst patients" and they would be right. Cassie had to sneak past Dr. Lam numerous times on the base when she knew that she was alright.

A sudden jolt from Daniel's car roused her of her musings. Cassie groaned. Her gut was right. Another car wreck.

"Daniel grab my bag and meet me at the crash sight." Cassie said tiredly. She just wanted this day to be over with.

Daniel nodded his head. He was going to stay with her because if he didn't he knew that she would over due and he was the 'king' of over doing it and knew the signs. Daniel also knew that once Cassie set her mind on something there was no changing it. He only took orders from a handful of people and Cassie was one of them. He was seeing Janet in Cassie more and more everyday.


Ratchet was on the other side of the freeway when he saw four cars almost on top of each other. He had come this way intent on a much needed vacation after the events in Mission City. Now his vacation was going to be cut short by this accident scene. Ratchet groaned.

Seeing that he was being flagged down, Ratchet exited the turn off to turn around and get back on the highway to give assistance to the emergency vehicles and it's crew. He also needed to make himselflook like all the other humans, so it didn't look like that there wasn't nobody in the truck.
