Chapter 4: Chance
I slowly opened my eyes. Susan was lying beside me. I had to save her. Tried to get up, if we waited we'd bleed to death. I had to carry Susan to safely; I had to get on a floor, whether it was Surgery or Ob. I had to save Susan. I slowly stood, but slipped, landing my face in the blood.
"Help somebody!!" I screamed. It was getting dark and cold. I took off my bloody Lab coat and put it over Susan. I then ripped off my shirt, and pressed against Susan's chest, to stop the bleeding.
"I love you," I said kissing Susan's forehead. She looked so peaceful sleeping; almost dead.
"Dead, Damn it," I forgot to check her pulse. I took her hand and looked for a pulse. I looked for a pulse on her neck and I couldn't fine one.
I place my ear up against her chest, but no heartbeat.
"Susan," I said shaking her, but it was no use. If she was going to live I had to get her downstairs.
"He had bullets in his coat, he has a gun," I told the security cops
"He probably left,"
"Or he could be loose in the hospital". I said worried.
"Look, he's probably gone, but we'll keep an eyes out for him". He said walking away.
"Whatever,"
"Hello," a woman said approaching me with a baby in her hands.
"Hi, are you Abby," She asked
"Yes, and hi Mrs. Carter". I said. Giving her a fake smile.
"Um, have you seen John, he was suppose to be home hours ago?" She asked. Rubbing Hope's back.
"Actually, no," I said.
"Oh," She said.
"Thank you". You she said walking away. She was right where was John?
I had to get up, Susan needed me. It was dark, I had lost a lot of blood, and I was tired, but I had to save Susan. I couldn't let her die. I slowly stood up.
"Aahh," I said softly, I could feel more blood come out of my wound. I managed to grab the edge of the room and I slowly let go. I walked to the door carefully, making sure I would fall; I would open it and then get Susan. I put my hand on the cold, metal knob and turn. But it wouldn't open. It was locked from inside.
"Help," I yelled. But it was no use no one could hear me through the steel door. I had to page someone. I looked for my pager in my Pockets, but it wasn't there.
"It must have fallen out of my pocket when I fell. I slowly walked to the puddle of blood. And put my hands in the blood. I finally found it. But it wouldn't work. So I threw it and it fell off the roof. In a second, I heard someone say "Ow," and I immediacy recognized the voice. It was Malucci.
I tried waving but he didn't see me in the dark, so I took Susan's decaf coffee and threw it off the roof. I heard Malucci, reply, with
"What's you're problem!" I
"Dave!!!" I yelled as loud as I could.
"What?" He replied.
"Help!!" I then I fell. I had lost too much blood.
"Help". I yelled as loud as I could. Then everything went black.
"What happened to you?" I asked Dave who had Brown stuff dripping from his head.
"Some idiot, threw a pager at my head and then threw a cup of hot coffee on my head from the roof" He said.
"The roof?" I said worried.
"Why," He asked looking confused.
"Carter and Susan have been missing for hours". I Said
"They probably got stuck up there," He said, "Anyway he was yelling for help".
"Help, Damn it". I said
"What,"
"We found bullets in a patient's coat". I said running up the stairs.
"So you're saying the patient did this," He asked following me.
"They wanted a Psych consult, for him. When I got there he was gone. If he shot them they've been bleeding for hours, they've probably lost gallons of blood by now". I said.
"Should I get Dr. Weaver and a couple of Gurneys?" He asked still following me.
"Get Luka, Weaver, Chen, Romano and Corday!" I ordered.
"Sure thing," He said going down the stairs.
I Got to the roof and opened the door,
"Aahh!" I screamed Carter and Susan Were lying in a pool of blood. I quickly ran to them. Carter was shot in the abdomen and Susan was shot in the chest. I ran to Susan, because her shot was worse. I unbuttoned her blouse and pressed it against her chest as hard as I could to stop the bleeding.
"Abby," John said, slowly opening his eyes.
"John," I said Stoking his hair with my left hand.
"Susan, I couldn't find a pulse," he said his voice breaking. Susan meant everything to him and I-we couldn't let her die.
"Its ok, She'll be Ok," gritting my teeth.
"Thanks Abby," He said.
"Oh my God!"
I slowly opened my eyes. Susan was lying beside me. I had to save her. Tried to get up, if we waited we'd bleed to death. I had to carry Susan to safely; I had to get on a floor, whether it was Surgery or Ob. I had to save Susan. I slowly stood, but slipped, landing my face in the blood.
