Bursting through the doorway of the medical tent, Radar caused the staff and patients alike to jump. Everyone was still on edge from the attack on Father Mulcahy and Doctor Standish. In pure reaction, Trapper snapped loudly, "Don't do that, Radar!" as Hawkeye frowned and moved away from the bedside of his surgical patient.

"It better not be Mathius again," was the comment of the annoyed brunet.

Shaking his head, Radar reached for the medical bag Hawkeye had left by the door when he'd rushed to care for the bedridden patient. "Colonel Blake needs help, Sir!"

"What?" Trapper stepped forward, suddenly anxious for his friend.

Hawkeye hurried over and, in a grim voice, said, "Trap, hold down the fort; I'll be right back. Where is he, Radar?"

Trapper nodded in acknowledgement, moving to check on the blood flow to the other surgeon's patient, but still keeping half his mind on the newest problem to seemingly arise.

Radar backed out of the tent. "In the shower, Sir." The Corporal led the Captain out without further explanation, too distraught over Emil's situation to reassure Hawkeye that Colonel Blake wasn't the casualty.
