Thanks for the reviews, and a huge thanks to FatCat. The She Devil and I are working on a story together, DM/JMC story!
Carter woke up early in the morning, where was he? Then he remembered, he was in Abby's apartment. He glanced over at the watch and saw that it was 6 a.m. He stretched, and felt that pain in back, the pain he had felt the last weeks. He stood up and walked into the kitchen, Abby was still asleep.
John Decided that he wanted to show Abby how much he appreciated her help, so he decided to go to the bakery and by some fresh bagels. Outside he felt the wind blowing fresh against his skin, it seemed to be a really okay day.
He started whistling on a little tune from a song he made up, and walked cheerfully down towards the bakery. Suddenly he crashed into a woman, who lost her bags
"Sorry" He said helping her get together her groceries. He smiled at her and thought he had seen this woman before, she had blond, short hair, and reminding him of someone.
"Do I know you?" He asked smilingly
"Is that a pick-up line?"
"No, Seriously"
"When you say it I think I have seen you before" The both held out their hands.
"John Carter"
"Susan Lewis"
"Susan?"
"Carter?"
"Wow, you have changed!" He said, or maybe he just had started forgetting how she looked.
"And you're the one to talk" She said, looking at the young man in front of her.
"Why are you here?" He asked curiously
"I have been transferred Mercy, I want to start my own life now, not just living on Chloe's happiness"
"I know what you mean"
"So how are you Carter?" She looked at him, he was much older than last time she saw him, he looked older than his age. He seemed to be tired.
"I'll guess I'm fine. So have you spoken to Mark yet?"
"Guess you're fine?"
"Let's just say that there have happened a lot of things since you left" He said, didn't want to bring all his problems into conversation their first meeting.
"So how is Mark?"
"Well, he is married, and he has a little girl, Ella"
"Yeah, no wonder that someone have grabbed him, he is a wonderful man. So how about you? Are you seeing someone?"
"Nah, not at the moment, I'm looking for the right one"
"Yeah, me too"
"So are you going to visit at the hospital anytime soon?"
"Yeah I was thinking of drop in sometime today. Are you working?"
"No, I'm on sick leave"
"Sick leave?" She looked at him, he didn't seem to be sick, just a little tired
"Long story, can tell you sometime. Maybe we could go to the hospital together? I have also someone I want to visit"
"Yeah sure. Now?"
"I just have to bring these bagels up to Abby's apartment."
"Abby?"
"Yeah, I'm staying with her at the moment" Susan decided that she wouldn't ask any further questions, before he wanted to tell her himself
"I'm sure you like her, she's an ER nurse"
Pepe stared at the little map of the apartment building, it didn't seem to hard to break inside. After what he knew Malucci would be written out from the hospital in three days, three days to plan a murder.
Dave stretched in the bed he was still sore, but he was better than earlier. Jing Mei knocked on the door.
"Hey Dave"
"Hey Jing Mei" He didn't come up with any comments because he felt partly guilty for what had happened.
"How are you?" She gave him a little flower that she had brought.
"Thanks, I'm a little tired, and sore"
"No wonder, it was pretty rough"
"Yeah, I know what you mean, do you know anything about Carter?"
"Yes, he is on sick leave, he said that he wanted to come and visit sometime soon"
"How are things down in the ER?"
"It's a little silent, without you and Carter."
"I guess Weaver don't have to yell so much anymore?"
"I thinks she miss you too" Jing Mei sat down in a nearby chair. "So when are you out of here?"
"Three days, I can't wait. I like the hospital much better when I'm not the patient." He smiled "Are you okay? I mean after…"
"Yeah, I'm fine, I was kinda shacky that night though"
"I'm sorry"
"Sorry for what?" She started wondering if he blamed himself for it all.
"For getting you people into this"
"Dave! It's not your fault, no one is blaming you!" She almost yelled out to him.
Carter walked inside and held open the door for Susan.
"Just wait here for a moment" He said carrying the groceries into the kitchen. Susan looked around, and wondered why Carter was living here. John put the groceries down and felt his back hurting a little. Abby came out of the shower, luckily she got dressed inside the bathroom. When she opened the door she was surprised by seeing a woman standing there
"Who are you?"
"I'm Susan. Susan Lewis, I'm a friend of Carter"
Carter walked out from the kitchen when he heard some voices.
"Oh, Abby this is Susan Lewis, she's a friend of mine.
"Hello, I'm Abby Lockhart"
"Susan used to work at County when I was a Intern, and Med. student" Carter said making Abby laugh. Carter looked at her "What are you laughing at?"
"I just can't picture you as a med. student"
"Yeah, he was kinda nervous, back then" Susan said smilingly,
"Shall we go?" Carter asked
"Yeah sure, we'll catch up later!" Susan said already starting to like Abby.
They walked out of the building
"So do you want to go or should we take the El?" He asked
"I would like to go, then we can catch up" She smiled.
"Ok" He said, hoping that his back wouldn't let him down now
"So what have a happened to you the last years? Are you a surgeon now?"
"No, I changed to ER, when I found out that I liked that much better."
"Yeah, I never though you were a surgeon type. So what was all the other things you said you would tell me?" She asked curiously.
"Well it's a long story"
"It's a long road left" She said
"Ok. On Valentines day last year my med. student and I got stabbed from a schizophrenic patient. I survived, but Lucy died. I had a hard time recover, and I started overmedicating. After a while I got addicted, I stole Morphine, Demerol and Fentanyl from the hospital. Abby saw me and they sent me to rehab. I came back to work, and then I relapsed, this is my last chance. Abby is my sponsor. And then not long ago there was a hostage situation at county, I got shot in the back. The guys who is still on the loose, and the fright for them, almost made me relapse again." He took a deep breath, till now Susan just had walked with him an listened.
"It seems like you have been through a pretty rough time" She said trying not to show how shocked she was.
"How about you, anything happened to you?" He asked trying to get away from the topic.
"I haven't been through anything special, I just want to start a life on my own, and I couldn't to that in Phoenix."
"I'm glad you came back" He said smiling.
"So am I, I have missed you Carter"
"Yeah, I missed you too." By now they were in front of the hospital, "are you ready?" He asked
"Yeah sure, let's go inside"
To be continued?
