"HAWKEYE!"

"Go away Radar..."

"Hawkeye you have to come..."

"I'm going to count to three...."

"Hawkeye it's really important...."

"And by the time I get to two..."

"Wait what about one?"

"It'll take longer for me to get up..."

"You have to come NOW Hawkeye!"

"Radar, I'm not in the mood!"

"Aw come on!"

"What don't you understand about NO"

"Hawkeye, this isn't funny, they need you for a patient."

"Tell the patient to stop bleeding."

"Hawkeye, she's bleeding a lot."

"Well good for... wait..."

"Her pulse is low..."

"Did you say... she?"

"Colonel Blake and Trapper are working on her but..."

"She as in..."

"Sara she, yes sir that 'she'"

Hawkeye sat up on his cot and turned to look at Radar, "You're pulling my leg Radar, and I'm going to hurt you because of it."

"No Hawkeye, I'm not. They found her."

Hawkeye was sitting up and pulling on his socks before Radar finished the sentence, "Where did they find her?" He asked as her pulled on his left boot.

"At a North Korean camp close to the front..."

"What happened?" He pulled on the right boot and began lacing it up.

"American's Hawk, they moved forward and stormed the camp. The south Korean's were ready though, The used her as a hostage, she got shot up pretty bad. A whole bunch of American's got shot too, they managed to get her out though..."

"How much blood has she lost?"

"It's hard to say, enough though, Hawkeye you'd better hurry."

He was, Hawkeye was already out the door too the Swamp and running to the pre op. When he entered the building he scrubbed up faster than he ever had before, he quickly put on his white surgeons robes and gloves and went to the table Henry, Trapper and Margaret were working at.

"How is she?" Hawkeye asked as he looked down at Sara's pale face.

"Bad Hawk." Trapper said, "She's lost a lot of blood, we're running low on ab positive..."

Henry looked up sadly, "It doesn't look good Pierce, but we're doing our best..."

Hawkeye felt like screaming -Your best isn't good enough!- But he resisted and began helping Trapper pull shrapnel out of Sara's body.

Every so often Hawkeye would look down at Sara's face and his heart would drop a little further, she was very pale, long cuts ran along her arms and legs, large bruises covered her wrists and arms. They had beaten her badly.

"Hawk?" Trapper's voice brought Hawkeye back to reality, "We're almost done, Why don't you go back to the Swamp and rest?"

Hawkeye looked down at Sara and shook his head, "No, I'm not leaving her side."

He said it in such a way that everyone new there was no arguing with the new father.

-Hold on Sara- Hawkeye thought sadly, -Please hold on-
