Summary: The murders continue.
Previously on ER:
"Any of us can be the killer, even you or me, Carter. It just matters who has the guts to kill their associates," Jerry said.
"Jerry, you are starting to scare me," Carter said as he walked into the lounge.
Onward with the story:
Carter walks into the lounge to find Susan sitting at the table gently sobbing. Carter sighs quietly, heads over to the table and puts his arm around Susan as he sits next to her.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I'll be fine when our shifts finally end, so we can just go home and get away from this nightmare," she replied between sobs. Carter nods his head to her remark.
"I can't believe he was murdered. Hopefully no one else will be murdered tonight," he replied after a moment of silence.
"Do they have any new suspects, other than me?" he asked after another brief silence.
"No," she said quietly just as Officer O'Hara walks in.
"I need to ask you two to leave the lounge," he requested of them.
"Why?" Carter asked.
"I'm going to use this room to hold interrogations of each of the staff members since we still haven't nailed the murderer," O'Hara said as he set two chairs across the lounge table from each other.
"At least I'm off the list," Carter said.
"Not yet Doctor," O'Hara replied as he sat at the table.
"Who's first?" Susan asked as she got up.
"Why don't we start with good old Dr. Carter?" O'Hara said. With that Carter slumped into the chair across from O'Hara. Susan looks at him and squeezes his hand before leaving. O'Hara slowly pulls out a paper and sets everything in front of him before finally looking up at Carter.
"Please state your full name."
"Dr. John Truman Carter."
"Where were you at 6:00pm tonight?"
"On the roof."
"What were you doing on the roof?"
"Thinking."
"Was anybody with you?"
"No."
"What was your relationship to Mr. Pratt?"
"He was my student."
"Did you have anything against your student?"
"Other than he was a smart ass?"
"Dr. Carter this is not a joking matter."
"Sorry. No, I didn't."
"Where were you at 7:30 this evening?"
"In the lounge, where Susan left me."
"When did Susan leave you in the lounge?"
"Around 7:00pm."
"Was there anyone else with you after she left?"
"No."
"So you were alone from between the time she left you and when the body was found by you."
"Very good."
"So you had time to kill Frank Evans before you 'found' the body?"
"I didn't do it, I only found the bodies."
"So you want me to believe that you had nothing to do with either murder when you were gone with no alibis and no witnesses as to your whereabouts during both murders?"
"Yes."
"For the record, where you at 8:10pm?"
"Handcuffed in the exam room with Susan, where you had just left us."
"Okay, thank you for your time Dr. Carter, you're free to go, please send in Dr. Kerry Weaver."
Carter walks out of the lounge and heads towards the admit desk.
"Kerry, you're up next," he said as he notices her sitting there with Jerry. She nods and heads toward the lounge.
"How'd it go?" Abby asked Carter as she walks up to the admit desk.
"Wonderful, I'm still the prime suspect for two of the murders," he replied. Abby just looks at him apologetically.
"Where's Susan?" Carter turned and asked Jerry.
"On the roof," he replied. Carter leaves the admit desk and heads to roof to find Susan. Carter walks onto the roof to find Susan sitting on the edge looking at the city below.
"Things aren't that bad, please don't jump," Carter said.
"I wasn't thinking of that, but now that you've mentioned something," she said in return without turning to look at her visitor.
"But who would feed Noah?" He asked as he sat next to her.
"No one since you'd be in jail," she replied as she laid her head on his shoulder.
"That hurt," he said, putting his arm around her.
"How'd the interrogation go?" She asked after a moment.
"The best fifteen minutes of my life," he answered sarcastically.
"We should get back down to the ER before they start to think you're off murdering someone else," Susan said. Susan and Carter get up from the roof and head back down to the ER. They're greeted by O'Hara as soon as they reach the admit desk.
"I thought I told you not to leave Dr. Carter." He said.
"He came looking for me," Susan said in return.
"Where's Dr. Kovac, he's next on the interrogation list," Officer O'Hara said looking to the staff around him.
"Last I saw him, he was in exam room two," Abby said from the admit desk. O'Hara nodded and headed over to the exam room. The staff follows Officer O'Hara and watches his expression as he opens the door.
"Oh shit," Carter said as he looks over Officer O'Hara's shoulder and notices Luka's body on the bed. Abby comes beside Carter and is unable to move any farther at the sight of Luka's body. O'Hara walks in to check the body out.
"What happened?" Carter asked.
"Maybe I should ask you Dr. Carter," O'Hara said as he looked up at Carter. Carter opens his mouth to speak, but Susan cuts him off before he gets the chance to.
"He was with me on the roof ever since he left your interrogation," she said.
"Good, now his fiancée is his only alibi," O'Hara rebukes her.
"How was he killed?" Abby quietly interrupted them.
"His head was almost completely severed by a rib saw," Officer O'Hara replied. Abby gasped and collapsed on the floor in tears. Susan kneels down and pulls Abby against her to comfort her. The staff looks upon each other, wondering who could have done it. Everyone's eyes seem to rest upon Carter more than anyone. Carter shakes his head and leaves the room, in search of his mother. He finds his mother in the chairs and he sits down beside her.
"What's going on?" She asked. He looks at her wondering how to tell her that his fellow associates had been murdered.
"I heard about what happened. How can they even think of you as the prime suspect?" She turned and asked him.
"I seem to be the lucky one that keeps finding the bodies," he replied.
"How's Susan dealing with it?" She asked.
"Well enough, considering the circumstances," he said. Carter notices O'Hara and Susan walk into the lounge.
"I guess it's Susan's turn now," he said.
"For what?" She asked.
"O'Hara is interrogating everyone about the murders," he answered.
In the lounge:
"Where were you at 6:00 pm this evening?" O'Hara began the interrogation after getting her full name.
"Checking on a patient."
"What patient?"
"David Wyle."
"Was the patient conscious?"
"Yes."
"What is his diagnosis?"
"Broken wrist from a bike riding accident."
"So he could attest for your whereabouts?"
"Yes."
"What was your relationship to Gregory Pratt?"
"He was my fiancée's student."
"Please state the full name of your fiancée."
"Dr. John Truman Carter."
"How long have you been engaged?"
"A little over a month. What does this have to do with the murders?"
"Do you trust him?"
"Of course I do. He didn't commit the murders."
"How can you be sure?"
"Because I know John."
"Where were you come 7:30 this evening?"
"I was doing a round on patients after leaving Carter. Abby and I ran into each other and she asked me to join her for a bite to eat in the cafeteria."
"What happened after that?"
"I finished my round of the patients and went in search of Carter and that's when I found him with Frank's body."
"Where were you at 8:10?
"In the exam room where you left Dr. Carter handcuffed to the bed with me."
"You were with him the entire time?"
"Yes."
"Where were you at 9:30 this evening?"
"On the roof."
"Was anyone with you?"
"Yes, Dr. Carter."
"What were you doing on the roof?"
"Sitting, thinking and talking with my fiancée."
"About what?"
"Who's going to feed our cat after I jump off the roof and then poor Carter is arrested for three murders with no alibi."
"Were you contemplating suicide Dr. Lewis?"
"No, we were just joking with each other. It's how we relieve tension and comfort each other."
"So you were comforting each other on the roof?"
"Yes."
"Did you and Dr. Carter leave the roof together?"
"Yes. We went to the ER."
"Why?"
"So John could get back to the ER so he wouldn't be accused of committing more murders."
"Did you go straight from the roof to the ER?"
"Yes, and we were very cheerily greeted by you."
"Thank you for your time Dr. Lewis. You're free to go." Susan nods and leaves the lounge. She heads to the cafeteria for a soda where she is greeted by the nurses.
"So Susan, we heard that you and Carter were handcuffed in an exam room together," Lydia said.
"No, no Susan handcuffed Carter in the exam room," Haleh replied.
"Wait, I thought Carter handcuffed Susan in the exam room," Conni corrected her.
"Actually Officer O'Hara handcuffed Susan and Carter together in the exam room before he left," Chuny said.
"Or maybe they were handcuffed with Officer O'Hara to get Carter off the hook," Lydia finishes as all the nurses erupt into giggles.
"This is not a funny situation. Officer O'Hara handcuffed Carter in the exam room so he couldn't get himself into any more trouble," Susan tried to correct the nurses.
"So being handcuffed and left alone in an exam room with you is supposed to keep him out of trouble?" Haleh asked innocently.
"I give up," Susan said exasperated as she grabs a soda and sits down next to the nurses, secretly relieved for the release from all the tension.
"So Susan, who do you think did it?" Chuny asked after a moment to recover from the giggles and become serious.
"I don't know, why not you four?" Susan said keeping her eyes on her soda.
"Hey now!" Conni said.
"But then again, it could be a conspiracy against you and Carter just to get you two handcuffed together," Lydia said.
"Yeah, because you two always like to be so close, we figured we could give you some private time so your cuddliness doesn't annoy us," Chuny said sarcastically.
"Honestly though, who do you think did it?" Haleh asked.
"Honestly I don't know. I don't want to even think that anyone here could be responsible. Now I don't even know whom to trust," Susan said looking around at the nurses.
"Not even Carter?" Conni asked. Susan just looked back down at her soda.
