AN: So a reader asked what season this was set in I realized I forgot to say. It's set in the first season somewhere around half way but before all the stuff with her sister happens and she finally sees the man in the woods, its also after the woman murdered the young girl in her basement and set the house on fire trapping Carrie and the woman inside. I can't remember what episode that was. So basically it's halfway.
Al burst out of his office into the main of the station, "Carries down, get Tanya to tell me where her cell phone pinged off last, get squad cars notified let me know if they see anything suspicious. And when we find her for fucks sake let's get an ambulance there,"
Nina and Roe ran over to Al. "What happened?"
"She was pursuing a lead regarding the Richards case and was following a suspect. I told her not to go alone," Al ran his hand though his hair.
"But she did anyways," Nina finished.
"Of course she did. Do you think she got sandwiches?" Roe asked. Both Al and Nina shot him looks of disgust. "What she said she was headed to that sandwich shop on 34th avenue,"
"Isn't that a warehouse district?" Nina asked.
"Let's go," Al said.
Twenty minutes later they were looking at Carries unconscious body, she was breathing but she hadn't come to yet. "That can't be good," Roe said as he was eating the sandwich Carrie had picked up for him.
"I can't believe you're eating at a time like this," Nina said bending over Carrie and checking her pulse.
"What I'm hungry besides it's a waste of food," Roe said.
"Her pulse is strong she should be fine," Nina said hoping for the best.
"That's going to hurt like hell," Roe said pointing to her forehead and the large bump that was forming.
"What I can't believe is that they just left her here," Al said.
"Ya who beats a person unconscious and just leaves them. I mean you usually carry off the body or something. Tie her up." Roe said. Both Nina and Al shot him dirty looks, "I mean I'm glad we found her but just they just left her here which means she surprised someone,"
The ambulance pulled up lights flashing and two men jumped out and placed Carrie on a stretcher. She still wasn't moving.
Al followed them to the ambulance, "She got hit on the head, I don't know if that's everything. Just check her out in case,"
"Right," One of the men said.
"We'll meet you at the hospital," Al said before joining the others at his car.
"Do you think one of us should stay here?" Nina asked.
"No, I don't want anyone else getting hurt besides I'm sure they're long gone," Al replied.
The three detectives had been sitting in Carrie's room for a little over twenty minutes.
"I wish she would just wake up already!" Roe snapped concerned for his friend.
"Well that might have done it," Nina said watching Carrie who was starting to stir. She used her arm to block out some of the light.
"What happened?" She asked groggily.
"You were chasing a suspect and you got knocked out," Roe said.
Carrie moved her arm and looked at Al she squinted her eyes a bit, "Who-"
"You were working on the Richard's case. I told you not to go alone," Al said getting ready to lose it now that she was OK.
Carrie looked at him hard and concentrated, "Who are you?"
"You're kidding right?" Roe asked.
"Hold on Nina get a doctor," Al said. He waited until Nina had left, "Do you remember me? I'm Al," He said softly.
Carrie flinched like something struck her, "Hot car, milkshakes," She replied.
Al tried not to give anything way to Roe but she was referring to the time they had been on a stakeout back in Syracuse the car had been plenty warm even with the engine off.
"Do you know who I am?" Roe asked leaning closer to Carrie.
"Who's Stanly?" She asked.
"Oh great she remembers the cat I rescued," Roe said waving his hands around.
"Al, my head hurts and I can't remember," She pushed her hand to her forehead like it would help her remember.
Al sat next to her on the bed, "It'll be OK," He placed a hand on her wrist.
After a examination from the doctor it was confirmed Carrie had amnesia.
"Man talk about ironic. Our star reporter gets amnesia, even more ironic with her memory thing," Roe said now holding a small teddy bear from the hospital gift shop.
"I know, I wonder how much she'll remember," Nina said as she and Roe stepped into the elevator, she pushed the button for the sixth floor. "I can't believe you thought to buy her that," Nina chuckled looking at the small bear holding a heart.
"What chicks love this stuff," Roe said trying to defend his manhood.
"I didn't think to get her anything,"
"Well she's a friend and-" Roe stopped he realized he didn't have to add any more.
"I'm sorry I'm just freaked out," Nina replied. The elevator pinged as some more people got on and they stopped talking. A few more floors and the elevator pinged again telling them they'd arrived at the sixth floor.
Al was pacing outside and looked aggravated as hell.
"Al calm down you're going to blow something," Roe said placing the bear onto an empty chair.
"He's right you look like you're going to have a stroke," Nina said trying to get him to sit down.
"My detective could have died!" He yelled thankfully the hallway was empty.
"But she didn't," Nina reminded.
"I'm not happy about any of my detectives who come so close to death so often!" Al's voice was only getting louder. Roe was going to speak but Al instantly cut him off. "She didn't even know she was a detective! How's it going to be when she finds out about her mom! Her sister!" He roared.
"Al we have to take this one step at a time," Nina said picking up the bear and heading into room 632.
Roe blocked the door, "You have to calm down you're only going to upset her,"
"Hey," Nina said pulling up a chair. "Roe got this for you," She passed off the bear.
"That was nice," Carrie said taking the small bear and started to unconsciously play with it.
"So…" Carrie said.
"What?"
"Everyone has been introducing themselves. Who are you?" Carrie asked.
"Oh I'm Nina I work with you at Queen's Homicide,"
"Right. Where's my sister?" Carrie asked trying to look through the doors tiny window.
Nina was speechless for a second but she remembered what the doctor had said nothing too shocking or jarring. "She couldn't make it, she's out of town,"
"Oh, she must be having a good time with Richard," Nina gagged she had combined two memories, her sister and Richards from their latest case. "No kids yet, I think they wanted to travel first. It's too bad about that domestic violence bought they had,"
Nina slowly got up and walked to the door, Carrie still remembered some things from their case. She stepped outside and slowly closed the door.
"We have a problem. Carrie thinks that Richards had a history of domestic violence," Nina said.
"Is that all?" Al asked.
"Well for one thing she still things her sister is alive and married to Richards," Nina said.
