Halley Freeman took a deep breath in before she walked into Cook County General. She was about to start working there as a resident, and she walked up to the reception desk, and smiled at the gathering of doctors there.
That was almost a year ago, and Halley had settled in really well at County General. She was friends with all the other doctors, especially John Carter.
It was a busy day at County, and Halley, Carter and Mark were working on a trauma. A woman had been brought in after she had been hit by a car, and her boyfriend was waiting in chairs. 'She's in v- fib Halley, start compressions.' Halley obeyed Marks command until she heard him say 'She's in asytole, Halley stop compressions. Time of death 23:31.' The three of them took their gloves off and Halley said 'I'll go talk to the boyfriend' Carter smiled and said 'Thanks'. Halley walked out to chairs and sat down to the dead women's boyfriend, whose surname was Kennedy. 'Mr Kennedy, I'm Dr Freeman, I'm afraid I have some bad news about your girlfriend. We used all of our capabilities, but unfortunately she died. I'm very sorry'
Kennedy jumped up out of his seat and said 'How could you of used all of your capabilities if she's dead?' He was really agitated, and Halley got out of her seat and said 'I'm sorry Mr Kennedy but we really did try everything.' Halley could see Carter coming out of the trauma room towards them slowly.
Kennedy turned around and looked at Halley, looking very angry, and he pushed her against a wall. Carter shouted 'Call security' and started running towards them. Kennedy grabbed Halley's face and said 'you little bitch, you killed my girlfriend, and I'm gonna make you pay.' Kennedy let her go and walked out of the hospital as Carter got over to Halley. 'Are you ok?' Halley sighed and said 'Yeah, he just freaked out about his girlfriend. My shifts over now so I am going home' 'Ok, see ya tomorrow' Halley smiled and went into the lounge. She got her coat and bag and left the hospital.
It was very dark and cold, and Halley shivered as she pulled her coat around her. She started walking down an alleyway, when she heard a noise. She stopped for a while, but started walking again when the sound stopped. Halley gasped in shock as a man jumped out in front of her and said 'Hello Dr Freeman' Halley recognised the voice as Kennedy and she said 'what do you want Mr Kennedy?' She tried to sound confident but she started to shake with fear as he started pushing her against a wall again. 'I told you that you were going to pay, didn't I?'
Kennedy started to kiss Halley but she pushed him away and kneed him in the groin. He doubled over in pain and she tried to run, but Kennedy grabbed her and backhanded her across the face until she fell to the ground. Halley tried to scream but Kennedy kicked her until she felt at least three of her ribs break. In too much pain to fight, all Halley could do was lie there while Kennedy raped her. As soon as he was finished, he stood up and Halley started to cry. He kicked her again and again until she fell unconscious, and he ran off.
Carter was in the cafeteria when his pager went off. He went down to the ER and saw Mark and some other doctors at the reception desk and he said 'what's coming in?' Mark looked at him and tried to compose himself, he knew that Carter and Halley were good friends and he was also shocked by the news. 'We've got a female coming in, beaten and raped' Carter grimaced; one of the worst traumas for most doctors was handling a rape case. He said 'Ok, I'll prep the trauma room.' 'Carter wait, the female coming in is Halley' Carter eyes opened wide and said 'Halley, you mean Halley Freeman?' Mark nodded and Carter said 'Oh God, is she gonna be alright?'
