Unexpected Surprises, part 2, "Help!" by Kate
"Hello! Welcome to "Air Seattle". We hope you will have a comfortable flight". Carol and Doug were sitting with a kid each on their laps. Doug who sat by the window pointed out.
"Look, Tess. There's a plane and now we're soon going up in the air. But don't worry, Daddy's here. And you", he turned to Carol, "do not have to worry either, honey, because Dougy's here taking care of my three beautiful girls".
When the plane finally had come up in the air, Carol and Doug laid back with the girls in their arms. Soon both Kate and Tess drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile at County some of the staff was busy trying to find out what was happening.
"Somebody page dr. Greene and get Corday or Benton down here now!!!" Malucci tried to stay calm but it wasn't easy being the only doctor since Kerry had a MI patient in curtain 3 and Carter almost pasted out.
Dave and Malik got her on the gurney and ran to trauma room 2.
"Chuny, call the blood bank. We need at least 6 units of O neg".
For some reason both Benton and Corday were paged and came down quickly after they got the message.
"Hey, what do we got?" Benton asked as he put on his glows. Before any managed to say anything else, Corday came in looking at the patient.
"Oh my God! Abby! What have happened?"
"I found her in lounge", Malucci said. "I don't know how long she's been unconscious".
Corday looked at her and she tried to wipe some of the blood.
"There's blood everywhere, it could be a vaginal bleeding. Is there any possibility that she might be pregnant?"
None of them knew. Haleh looked at Chuny who looked back at Haleh.
"I'll page Kovac. Maybe he knows". Benton looked questioning at Haleh.
"Why should he know?"
"You people upstairs miss a lot of interesting gossips. That's all I say!"
Chuny found Kovac while the others worked on Abby in the trauma room.
On the plane, Kate suddenly started to scream. For some reason she was terrible afraid. Carol tried to calm her down but nothing helped.
When she finally stopped crying, the plane made a frightening movement.
"What was that?!" Doug asked and looked out of the window.
"I don't know", Carol replied. "Maybe some stones in the road".
They laughed and tried to relax when one of the stewardess came out with a microphone.
"We're having some problems and as caution we have to ask you to please put on your fly vests. Stay calm, it's just for caution".
"What are we going to do?"
This was the first time Doug had seen Carol being as scared as she was now.
"Not much, I guess. We've got to wait and see. Don't worry, everything will be alright". He took his arm around Carol. In spite of what he said to calm down Carol, he didn't believe a word of it himself. He was so afraid that he could feel his heart up in this throat.
Suddenly the plane started shaking and they could hear the captain yell into his phone.
"Mayday! Mayday! Flight 203, Chicago - Seattle is in trouble! Mayday! Mayday!
Then the plane made a frightening change and the passengers could feel the plane fall. They heard the wind outside. Children were screaming and parents tried to stay calm for them.
Carol and Doug held around each other and the twins. "Please, say it's a dream, Doug! Please!" Carol cried. Doug looked at her.
"I love you, Carol. Please remember that. And you two". He looked at Kate and Tess and kissed them before he kissed Carol.
When the plane hit the ground, Carol and Tess were thrown forwards while Doug and Kate were squist between the seats. Because of the speed the plane had hit the ground with, it started to burn.
Some of they who survived the crash and was conscious and was able to get on their feet, dragged people out of the wreck.
Some of the passengers were already dead. About 5 minutes later, was Doug awake. He couldn't feel his left leg and arm because the seats had squist it. In his other arm Kate was laying still and unconscious with major injuries. Doug tried to wake her but without success.
"HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY! HELP!"
An elderly man in his early sixties came running.
"Thank God", Doug said. "You've got to help me. My daughter's unconscious and I'm stuck. If I get out I'd might be useful. I'm a doctor". The man took carefully little Kate in his arms and lay her in a seat. Then he bent the seats a part.
"In spite of my age, I have a lot of muscles. Let's get out of here as soon as possible".
"No! Wait! My…girlfri…wife and daughter are here somewhere else. You've got to help me find them too. Please!"
"Alright! But that better be quick. The plane is about to blow in the air any second. It's burning terribly".
Doug and the elderly man, who had introduced himself as Leo, searched through the whole plane without finding Carol or Tess. Doug started to panic and wanted to go through the plane again but Leo stopped him. "Maybe they're outside. Many injured and, I'm afraid, dead are outside". They could hear the sirens outside and Doug limped out with Kate in his arms. There were about 15 ambulances, and Doug limped to one of them.
"Can you take my daughter while I look for my wife and second daughter?"
"Sure. Are you alright, sir?"
"Not to I find the rest of my family. Which hospitals are you guys driving to?"
"The nearest, County, St. John, Merc…"
"County"!!!
"Yeah, you're not as far away as you think. The plane barely took off before it fell down again".
"Ok., drive her to County. Tell them I'll be there when I have found the others".
"And you are?"
"Doug Ross. I was a paediatrician there two years ago".
The paramedic took Kate to County where everybody was busy as hell. 3 minutes after the ambulance left, the plane exploded! Doug threw himself away from the explosion but suddenly he felt he was burnt. In killingly pain he started to cry. He had realised that it was a very little chance that he'd find Tess and Carol. He had probably lost them now. He had trouble breathing and terrible pain in his entire body when he finally passed out. . . .
