Hey sorry this chapter's so short, it's really just like a mini chapter to tide you over till I get around to writing a proper one. Hope you like it anyway :)

Three hours. Three hours he and the team had been sitting waiting for news on their boss. They'd whisked her away to surgery the minute the entered the hospital. All of them had desperately asked passing doctors and nurses for help, for news, for anything. But they simply told them it was too early too tell anything yet.

Finally a haggard looking doctor emerged from a white door covered in all sorts of Health and Safety signs. The team jumped up as one body and descended on him.

'Well?'

'What's happening?'

'Is she going to be alright?'

'Well,' the doctor said calmly 'The problem is she's haemorrhaging at class three and at the higher end. She's lost nearly 2 litres of blood. We've already performed two transfusions but we can't be sure if that's going to be enough. The problem is when the bleeding has reached class three the patient's blood pressure drops and the heart rate increases-they go into shock. They also become dizzy, confused and unresponsive.'

'So what does that mean?' Jane asked impatiently 'Is she going to live?'

'Er, well you see,' the doctor said loosening his collar uncomfortably 'We have another complication,'

'What?' the team asked in unison

'Well, we also discovered rather severe intrarcranial haemorrhaging-most likely from being hit repeatedly by a heavy object,'

'What does that mean?' Rigsby asked looking confused

'It means that she's bleeding in her skull,' the doctor said looking seriously Jane

'But surely you can do something about that,' Cho snapped

'Yes, however it is a relatively risky procedure. We have to drill into her skull to drain the blood and relieve the pressure,'

'But that would mean she'd lose more blood,' VanPelt said anxiously 'That can't be good,'

'That's one of the reasons it's so risky. I'm also not happy about the state of mind she's in right now. It's not how I'd like a patient to be just before major surgery, however we can't really afford to wait. That's why I came to see you. Who out of you is responsible for her?'

They all looked at each other, then all said in unison 'I am,'

The doctor looked at them impatiently 'One, or all of you, needs to make the decision for her. Miss Lisbon is not in the right state of mind to make such an important decision.'

'What decision?' Jane asked irritably

'We need permission to operate. It's a risky procedure which can be somewhat painful, she may not live through it- especially in her current condition. As she's not in a position to make the decision for herself, we need permission from you,'

The team looked at each other again. It wasn't a decision they wanted to make-they could say no and just let their friend die, or they could say yes and put her through more pain for only a slight chance of her living.

How could they make that decision?

'We don't have much time. I need an answer,' the doctor said firmly 'Now,'

Hey, sorry, I know that's not the nicest place to leave it but I havn't had much time to write and anyhoo the point is to try and keep people interested isnt it? :) Hope you liked it anyway...and you know i like reviews :)
