"Clear the field." Adam waited for Lucas to suction the area. "Retract this area." He gestured with his scalpel. "Good."

He made an incision.

"Lot of muscle damage." Lucas murmured.

"Possible nerve too." Adam lifted out the mass of tissue and dropped it in the pan.

"Kid's gonna feel it."

"Unfortunately." Adam rolled his neck. "Time?"

"7 hours, 37 minutes." A nurse read out.

"How are we looking, Coby?"

"BP is a bit low but steady. Pulse is good. Sats good."

"You need a break?"

"Let's finish this zone first. Shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes."

Adam picked up a fresh scalpel. "Who turned on the music?"

"I did." Adam could almost hear the younger attending flinch. "I'll turn it off."

"Leave it. It's good. I was just wondering who it is."

"Mamoru Fujisawa. I heard the kid-"

"Jordi." Adam removed another piece of tissue.

"I heard Jordi was into music. I thought it might help him relax."

"Not sure it's his taste." Adam laughed. "I think he's more into Imagine-."

An alarm cut Adam off.

"Coby, what's going on?"

"Sats are falling."

A second squeal came out of the monitors.

"BP is falling."

"Shit." Adam hissed. "Coby open the IV all the way."

The room was a flurry of movement.

"Sats are still falling."

"BP is still falling."

"There must be a bleeder."

"No" Adam shook his head. "There's no bleeder. Dammit what's going on?"

"Second IV is in. It's wide."

"He's going into v-tach."

"Shit." Adam tried to keep calm but he felt totally out of control. "Crash cart now."

"Needs a few more seconds."

"He's asystole."

"Starting external compressions." Lucas called out.

"Push a meg of epi." Adam tried not to shout. He felt like he might actually vomit. "Come on, Jordi. Stay with me buddy."

"Epi's in. No change."

"We're charged." Adam reached for the paddles as the nurses pulled off Jordi's hospital gown and dropped the conductive pads into place like a demented dance move.

"Clear." Jordi's body twitched as the electricity hit his body.

"No change." Coby called out, his eyes glued to the monitors.

"Another meg." Adam pushed Lucas out of the way and began compressions himself. "Come on Jordi. Let's see those balls."

"Charged,"

Adam reached for the paddles, barely giving the staff time to clear away before releasing. As he stepped back he looked up at the head nurse, unable to ask the question. Coby shook his head.

"Son of a bitch." Adam bellowed.
