Chapter 2 "Let Him Die!"
Foreman stood in the elevator. He hoped Cameron and the patient were alright. He wanted to quickly find Chase and get back to Cameron before the killer found anyone of them. He wished he can just call or page Chase but he was too afraid of alerting the shooter and he or Chase can be killed. The elevator came to a stop but as soon as those doors opened a man raised a gun and shot him. Foreman felt a hot fiery pain go through his chest as he fell back. Pain coursed through his body as the shooter closed the doors and left him to die in the elevator. He tried to breathe through the pain and shock. He began to feel dizzy and his vision blurred as his whole life flashed before his eyes. He thought about reaching for his phone but he was too weak with pain. He closed his eyes, giving in to darkness.
Cameron paced back and forth nervously after she had given Mandii her treatment. She hadn't heard from Foreman or Chase yet and she had no idea what happened to House. "What's going on!" Mandii exclaimed in fear. "Why are you covered in blood! Please tell me!"
Cameron stopped pacing and looked at her. She knew she couldn't keep Mandii in the dark forever but she didn't want to scare her or make her panic. "Umm... Mandii there is something going on..."
"Like what?" she asked in anticipation. Cameron hesitated, not knowing how to tell her this. "Dr. Cameron! What is it!"
"There is a man walking around the hospital with a gun. We're on lock down." Mandii looked at her shocked. She turned white with fear and her breathing became fast and heavy. She started to tremble.
"Oh my God! I'm going to die! We're going to die!" She started panicking so Cameron rushed over and covered Mandii's mouth with her hand.
"Sshh or he'll hear us," she whispered. Mandii began to calm down as Cameron removed her hand and hugged her. "We're not going to die. We're going to be just fine," she tried to convince Mandii and herself.
"You have to let me in there!" Cuddy yelled at the head cop. "I have patients in there and staff. People are going to get hurt or worst, die!"
"And letting you in is not going to change anything!" The chief of police yelled. "I'm not going to let you in there just so you can get yourself killed!"
"I'm the dean," Cuddy said. "I could try talking to him."
"Are you crazy!" the cop yelled. "That's not going to do any good! So if you want your patients and staff to stay alive, you'll let me do my job!" Cuddy angrily held his stare before he turned away and disappeared among the chaos. Her cell then started ringing. It was House.
"House are you ok!" she asked.
"Yeah I'm just kicking it with Wilson in his office. Chase decided to go all macho and rescue the rest of the idiots," he replied with sarcasm. She rolled her eyes at his childness.
"House don't go looking for them or do anything stupid." House ignored her for a minute then sighed in defeat.
"We heard gunshots and people screaming not too long ago," he kept his voice low.
"Oh God," Cuddy whispered. "Is he still on the floor?" she asked in a regular tone.
"I don't know. Where are you?"
"Outside with the cops. I was out for lunch when I got the call from Cameron. They're doing everything they can but..."
"But what!" "They haven't gone in yet."
"What!" he yelled. "They need to stop standing around and arrest this moran! People are dying!"
Chase slowly sneaked through the quiet halls. There were blood and bodies almost around every corner. "Cameron," he whispered. "Foreman." His heart was beating fast in his chest. He struggled to keep his breath steady. He never felt so scared in his life. The gunman could appear any second and finish him off. Suddenly he heard a noise around the corner followed by panicked screams. And before he knew it gunshots sounded through the halls.
"Oh shit!" he whispered in fear and panic. He slipped into the janitor's closet and locked it. He held his breath in the dark as footsteps sounded on the other side of the door. He closed his eyes, praying that the shooter would just walk by. Luckily for Chase the footsteps faded until they completely disappeared and he let out a breath of relief. He slowly opened the door, looking around for any sign of the shooter as he stepped out.
There are only two places Foreman and Cameron would be, he thought. The clinic or with the patient. He hoped he was right as he headed to Mandii's room.
Dr. Cuddy stood outside. She was so worry and sick with fear. She watched the phone operators that were set up outside get calls from hostages inside. Tears blurred her vision as she read them on the computer screen.
Dr. James Wilson - "A colleague and I are trapped in my office. We heard gunshots a while ago."
Dr. Allison Cameron - "He's coming! I can hear him coming! Please send help! I'm trapped here in room 207 with a patient!"
Dr. Robert Chase - "There are dead bodies and blood everywhere! It looks like a war zone in here! We need help as soon as possible!"
Cameron hid under the bed as Mandii lay under her blankets pretending to be dead. They both held their breaths in fear as the door slid open. The shooter slowly walked in, surveying the room. Cameron held in her tears as she watched his shoes, full of blood and can hear the sound of metal against his fingernails. She knew the gun was in his hand. After checking the bathroom he stopped besides the bed. Cameron hoped Mandii would keep it together. Come on Mandii don't lose it, she thought. Please don't shoot her.
He flipped over the covers but luckily Mandii remained motionless. "Oh God!" he panicked, realizing she was dead.
That voice, Cameron thought. Where have I heard it? Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted when the door slid open and gunshots sounded through the room. Tears streamed down Cameron's cheeks as Chase fell to the floor. The world seemed like it were moving in slow motion for the next few minutes. Their eyes met and she put her hand over her mouth to keep from screaming. Chase struggled to breathe as the shooter quickly ran out, leaving him to die.
Chase looked at Cameron. Pain shot through his chest like knives. He was shaking and couldn't breathe. Mandii sat up in panic expecting to see Dr. Cameron dead but gasped as she saw Dr. Chase instead. "Chase!" Cameron cried as she rushed to his side, putting her hand on his wound to stop the bleeding. "Hold on! Don't close your eyes!"
"I can't ..." he struggled to say. "Leave... leave me here. Take Mandii... save yourself..."
"No!" she cried. "I'm going to save you! I'm going to get you to an OR!"
"Cameron," he whispered before he sighed heavily as if it were his last breath and closed his eyes.
"No Chase!" she yelled, shaking him awake. "Fight it! You're not going to die! I'm not going to let you die!" Chase opened his eyes drowsily making her sigh with relief. Mandii got off the bed, watching Cameron trying to drag him out of the room. "Mandii stay here and hide."
"No!" she exclaimed in fear. "Don't leave me alone! Let me help you."
"Ok then help me get him to the OR," Cameron said out of breath. Together she and Mandii dragged Chase across the lobby and over to the elevators. Cameron held Chase's head as Mandii started pressing all the buttons. The one by Cameron opened. "Mandii over here," she said as she began to move Chase towards the open doors. Mandii rushed over, not noticing the elevator behind her opening and Foreman's unconscious body surrounded in blood.
"Cameron..." Chase mumbled. "Don't do this... he'll find you... and... and kill you. Just go..."
"Shut up. I'm not leaving you." Cameron took out her cell and gave it to Mandii. "Try calling for help," she said.
Mandii took it as Chase said, "Save yourself... please Allison."
"Stop it Chase! I'm not going anywhere! I don't care what you tell me or if that psycho finds us! I promise I'm not leaving you!" He gazed at her. His blue eyes full of pain. He reached his hand out to her, brushing her cheek gently. I love you Allison, he wanted to say but instead he suddenly closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
"Chase no!" she cried in panic.
"Dr. Cameron!" Mandii yelled out, fearing that Chase might be dead. Cameron laid him down and started performing CPR.
"Come on Chase! Fight it!" she yelled as she pumped his lungs before giving him air. "Don't do this to me! Don't you die! Don't you dare die!" She pumped his chest and gave him more air. "Come on Robert! Breathe!" she yelled, not caring that the elevator doors had opened or that Mandii was cowering in the corner. She kept pumping his chest and giving him more air till he took a breath and started coughing. "Thank goodness," she whispered as she hugged him in relief.
"Cameron..."
"Sshh, don't try to talk. I'm getting you to the OR." Mandii stood up, holding the doors open as Cameron dragged him out into the hall and didn't even realize that she had dropped the phone in Chase's trail of blood.
Cameron and Mandii both managed to get Chase on the operating table and after she scrubbed in and sterilized Chase she told Mandii to stay in the scrub room while she operated on him. Chase was shaking as he struggled to breathe. He laid on the cold table as Cameron prepared the drugs that would put him to sleep. "I'm not going to make it," he struggled to say.
"Yes you are," she tried to keep her voice from shaking. She was scared and didn't know how she was going to do this without an OR team but there was no way she was going to let him die. "I'm not going to let you die." Chase looked at her, trying to make out her face through his blurry vision.
"I'm cold... and so tired..."
"Just hold on," she whispered. She held his hand, squeezing it as she administrated the drugs. He didn't take his eyes off of her as he slowly fell asleep. Once he was out Cameron immediately got to work. She didn't even notice the shooter coming in through the OR doors.
"Stop operating on him," he said in cold, calm voice. Startled, Cameron looked up at him and tried not to panic. He held up the gun and put it to her head.
"Mr. Conner?" she said in shock. She couldn't breathe as he pressed the gun harder into her, the cold metal burning her skin. Tears rapidly streamed down her cheeks but she wouldn't stop. She had to save Chase.
"Let him die!"
I hope you guys enjoyed the drama. If the next chapter isn't posted by tomorrow then it'll be up by tuesday. I know... sorry its cause I'm busy Saturday and the library is closed on Sunday and Monday. Sucks but don't worry it'll be worth the wait. Also if you guys have any ideas for the story I'd be happy to hear them. I don't mind putting in new material.
