Chapter 2 Code Blue!
CODE BLUE ! ICU came across the hospital intercoms at 3 am….
On the ICU floor the specifics of the Code Blue was blasted to all nursing stations.
Room 305 GSW victim.
Face ghost white Dean Parker is pushed out of the way as the medical staff rushes to save Sergeant Greg Parker. Most of these people had been on staff when the SRU teams swept the building looking for bombs. Some where at the stadium as Emergency responders brought in critical patients.
One young nurse who moonlighted as an EMT was part of the crew that originally transported the man who had assured the city that his team and others were working towards a solution.
"DEAN!" came Ed's demand
"Ed, he…" Dean's sobs tore through him.
Ed ran to Dean as he collapsed, Ed sank to his heels when he reached Dean.
"He'll be okay son just wait."
As the activity in the room calmed down Ed and Dean stood waiting for any information.
The doctor came out.
"Dean your dad had a clot, the clot broke lose causing a partial blockage we are giving him blood thinners and will watch him a little more closely. With all the stress his body has gone through the extra stress was what caused his heart to race and ultimately to stop."
Dean's eyes were full of tears as he whispered the one thing that scared him more than anything.
"Will we lose him?"
The doctor looked at Ed and then at Dean.
"I can not give you that answer just yet lets see how he does on the medication I started and go from there. It will be touch and go, he is still considered critical and I don't want to give you false hope that he will recover until I know where he stands."
Ed was in a daze, his son was doing so well that they were about to release him he just had to have some more x-rays. NOW his best friend almost died and could still die. As a cop he knew this might happen but this was the BOSS the man whom he had learned so much from.
Dean was not doing much better, he had just found his dad not 3 years ago and he wasn't sure he would have him for another day. Dean now understood what was so hard about this job, it wasn't so much losing a person to suicide or another reason, those hurt but to lose a man that had given so much to the Job, his health, family and now possibly his life. THAT was the hardest thing to come to grips with the fact that someone so good at their job had gone years as a detective and then into the SRU to become the top negotiator in the city if not the country. How did you deal with that?
Ed called everyone and they all showed up again to give whatever support they could give. No one would leave family alone with this and Greg, Dean and now Marina were family.
Taking turns to talk to the Boss all of Team 1 former and current sat talking in the waiting room as they rotated turns.
To everyone's surprise Raff came in with Leah.
"Hey, Buddy how have you been?" greeted Spike.
"Not bad man, not bad. I was sorry to hear about the Boss, how are you guys doing?"
Raff and Spike started talking, while Sam and Jules headed into the room to see Greg.
Walking into that room was hard on everyone but for Jules who saw Greg as a father figure in the absence of her own was devastated. She had never need him like this, yeah in the course of the job she had seen him with head wounds or a GSW to the arm but never on a ventilator with tubes and wires coming from all directions. His paleness and stillness scared her.
"Sam…." She started
"I know sweetheart." Sam knew immediately what she couldn't say. The Boss didn't look good.
Walking over to him Jules sat on the chair next to the bed and held Greg's hand.
"Boss, you know how you always talked about the pain you feel when the windows have to be washed? Well I have found that feeling. Only a few people can bring it on and you are one of them. We need you, Please Please come back to us…" chocking Jules lays her head on the edge of the bed.
"Boss you know what I went through when Jules was shot the pain of knowing I should have been in front of her with the shield."
Jules head comes up and she makes a negative sound but Sam just shakes his head. He knows that they have talked about this but it doesn't matter he still feels the same.
"You talked me through some of the toughest times in my life. But first you gave me the chance I needed I was looking for after the military. You turned me into a better person that I was, Jules is right we need you to come back to us."
Through this Jules silently cried for her husband, for her team, but mostly for her Boss the man who had save her relationship with Sam. He stood in front to take the hits so that She and Sam could be together, so they could have the chance to be together. They had worked hard not to let him down.
Standing Jules kissed Greg on the Forehead before she and Sam headed back to the team and the waiting room.
