A/N: Don't get mad at me. I apologize for the last comment to the people who don't know Lucy is dead. So before I get flamed this is an *gulp* apology. (Apologizing is so hard!!!) Anyway, read on!

Chapter 3: Blood Smeared

Carter swerved out of the way just in time but almost lost control and slammed into another car. The other car slammed on its breaks in time and missed his car. Carter's wheels smoked as his foot hit the breaks too. The other driver got out of her car to see if he was all right. She went to the front of Carter's car and saw the windshield was smashed and had some blood. Panicking, she went to open the driver's door. She saw a man leaning against the steering wheel. His eyes seemed barely open.
"Sir! Are you all right? Please say something!" she kept yelling at him so he would stay conscious. She easily pushed him to lean back on the seat, and then dragged him out of the jeep.
"Lucy?" Carter barely whispered but she didn't hear him. He immediately passed out. Many people were gathering around the scene. She yelled for someone to help her get Carter across the street. The man in the car that Carter was originally going to hit came to help her. With the help of some bystanders they got him to county hospital. Luka was the first to attend to them. He didn't notice it was Carter from the blood that was seeping from Carter's forehead and unto his face. Luka got the man an empty bed. All of the people managed to Carter on it. He immediately began cleaning Carter's wound.
"The injuries don't look that bad," Luka told them. "May be a concussion but I don't think it's a huge possibility. Once this man regains consciousness we'll just stitch him up." The man and the woman were both relieved. Luka asked for an explanation of what happened.
"Unless you want to file charges or get insurance information you people are pretty much done here." Luka told them. Neither of them wanted to do any of that. Their cars weren't damaged but decided to stay there in case the other man wanted to file charges against them or get insurance. They parked their cars in the parking lot of the hospital and came back to wait in the horrible little waiting room.
Luka was shocked, surprised and scared to see that the man with a cut was Carter. Now Luka wasn't as confident as he was when he told the people nothing could be seriously wrong. He thought the worst possible things why Carter had been in the car accident but tried to discard them. He wasn't sure if he should tell Abby, they were already close enough. He scolded himself for thinking this way but couldn't stop feeling jealousy. Carter began to stir...
***********************************************************************
Carter saw the car in front of him and tried to swerve out of the way. That only caused more trouble. Now he would hit another car on his right. He heard the other driver's breaks screech. He hit his breaks but hit them too hard. He flung forward, straight into the windshield. He had hit his breaks hard, but not enough so he would go flying through the window. He managed to break it a bit and he saw some blood. Carter quickly became tired. He felt weak. Carter thought he saw his door open. He heard a woman yelling at him but wasn't sure. He felt a force push him backward, against the seat turned he moved his eyes to the side in hope that he would see who it was. When he saw her he didn't believe it but there she was, Lucy! Her blond hair and blue eyes were just how he remembered. He couldn't clearly see her face because it kept becoming unfocused. He didn't want to leave her but sleep kept tugging at the back of his mind.
"Lucy?" he whispered but passed out before he could hear an answer.
