"What?"
"I-I came home after a late shift, a-and I wanted to go to sleep, a-and he wouldn't let me...and..." She broke off into tears. Dave sat next to her and gently rubbed her back with one hand, trying to comfort her.
"And he hit me a c-couple of times, and he-he held be down and..." Jing-mei couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Did he rape you?" Dave asked in w whispered voice. She could only nod a reply.
"Have you told anyone else?" he asked. Again, she shook her head for a reply. When she began to recover, Dave got up and called Abby over.
"I need you to do a rape kit on my patient." Dave asked.
"Sure, Dave." Abby walked off to get her supplies. He walked over to the admin desk. The rage inside him burned through his eyes, and everyone could see that he was pissed.
"Randi?" Dave said in the calmest voice he could come up with.
"Mm?" she replied, absorbed in her Cosmo magazine.
"Randi!!" Dave screamed. Everyone stopped and looked at him, Randi was stunned out of her normal bitchy attitude.
"Yes, Dave?" she squeaked out.
"Sorry, is Dr. Ramano up in the OR today?"
"I don't know. Do you want me to call up and check?"
"Please."
Meanwhile, everyone was still staring at Dave.
"Yes, he's in OR 2."
"Thank you, Randi."
Dave ran over to an open elevator and punched the OR floor button. He tried to calm himself down in the empty elevator. What was he even going to do when he got up there? Before he could answer his own question, the elevator doors opened on the surgical floor. Ramano was walking down the hall towards him consulting with a nurse. Completely without thinking, Dave ran after Ramano (who totally didn't see it coming) and body-slammed him to the ground. Before Ramano could think of fighting back, Dave threw as many punches as he could before being dragged away by security. All he could see was Ramano lying in a big-ass pool of his own blood. That beautiful image (to him) was shattered by Kerry screaming in his face.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she screeched.
"What I thought was appropriate for the situation!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Dave lowered his voice.
"Okay, you ask Dr. Chen about this, he hit her and raped her. I lost control.
"Are you serious?" Weaver's tone suddenly turned compassionate.
"Ask her. Ask Abby, she did the rape kit."
"I understand you're upset but you can't go around beating people up."
"Yeah, I know."
"You go back into the ER and keep working, I'll straighten this out."
Dave was surprised at Kerry being so nice. He took the stairs back down to the ER. He went over to check on Jing-mei in the exam room but she was gone. He saw Abby at the admin desk.
"Abby!"
"Yeah, Dave?"
"Where's Dr. Chen?"
"She went home."
"How did her, uh, tests come out."
"Positive."
Dave picked up a random chart and continued his rounds. Four lacerations and two ulcers later, his shift was over. He decided to go check up on Jing-mei. He went outside and unchained his bike. He had some idea where she lived. And he left on his bike, going particularly fast. He finally reached his destination. He chained his bike back up and went into the apartment building.
There were a lot of stairs and no elevator, considering the elevator was broken and she lived on the top floor. Just as he was going to knock on the door, he heard shouting from inside. He could recognize that it was Jing-mei and someone else. Then, after listening, he could hear who it was. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He backed up, got his stance and kicked the door in, surprising everyone, including himself. Ramano was holding tight on to her wrists. He had substantial bruising on him from earlier. Jing-mei was crying. As soon as Dave burst in the apartment, Ramano let go.
"What are you doing here?" Ramano shouted.
"I was going to ask you the same question." Dave replied.
"I was just teaching this little whore a lesson."
"Don't call her that. And I think you should leave."
Ramano walked up to Dave and tried to punch him but he was to short and missed and stumbled. Deb tried to reach to the phone to call 911 but Ramano shouted and pointed a gun at her.
"Don't move."
Dave and Jing-mei both put their hands up in the air. Dave slowly walked backwards so he and her could stand next to her.
"What are you doing?" Dave questioned.
"That little bitch was cheating on me."
"Is that why you raped her?"
"I didn't rape her, I taught her a lesson."
Jing-mei started to cry hardly.
"You said you loved me." Ramano quoted. "Is that true? Do you love me?"
She hesitated, and gave her answer even though it wasn't what he wanted to hear, "No. I was just using you to get the chief posit-"
She was cut off by three gunshots to the chest. Ramano dropped the gun and ran out. Dave ran knelt down by her bloodied body and used his hands to try to stop the bleeding.
"I'm sorry, Dave." she whispered, her mouth filling with blood.
"Shhh... don't be, it's okay."
Dave reached behind him and grabbed the phone to dial 911. All he said was her address and that she was shot. He didn't even bother to hang up. Dave couldn't help but have a single tear slide down his cheek, only to drop on her. She looked so peaceful. He checked for a pulse and breathing, there was none. He slid over, put his head on her chest, and waited.
