summary: Dave's secret comes out suddenly,raising surprising issues
amongst his co-workers

"It's a haze, a dream like scary haze.Your hand is completely taken
from your body,like it's acting on it's own.That's how bad the pain
is,you don't even really realize you're doing it"
****************************************************************
"Charge to 200"

"250"

"300"

"We got a pulse" haleh looked up at Carter

"Take him upstairs to the OR" Carter yanked his gloves off ,"Benton's
waiting"

"You okay??" Deb touched his shoulder lightly

"Yeah" he pulled away,"I'm fine"

"Don't lie to me John" she said quietly,holding the lounge door open

********************************************************************
"It's a quick movement.Razor runs down the skin so slowly..time's
almost frozen"
******************************************************************
*At Dave's apartment*

"No, Ma, I got it" Dave tossed the offical looking envelope back and
forth in his hands

"I'm fine" he looked down at the kitchen table,"I was just getting
ready to go to work"

Dave ran his fingers over his wrist,"I'll try to make the funeral, I
promise"
*********************************************************************
"Slowly,this warm life fluid runs onto the floor,over the tips of
your fingers.Then reality hits.You're bleeding"
*******************************************************************

*Back at the hospital*

"YOU AREN'T DOING THIS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!" Kerry yelled,,"Let's hope
you don't ever have to come down to my ER .I MIGHT BE AS HELPFUL AS
YOU!"she slammed the phone down loudly

"Tsk tsk tsk Kerry" Robert clucked walking past her

Kerry looked up and glared."Now's not a good time to start with me"

"Ooohh..do enlighten.Why this time??"

"I don't need your shit" She called as she wobbled away,"Not
today,Robert"

*****************************************************************
"Your stomach turns.It's a mix of nausea ,shame and disgust for what
you've just done.That sick icy cold feeling"
*****************************************************************

"You better be careful"

Dave looked up from his bike,"Oh yeah??"

Cleo nodded,"weaver's on a roll"

"Yippeee" Dave said sarcastically

"I mean it" Cleo called out,"Be careful Dave"
***************************************************************
"There's a mad dash to hide this fresh "Secret".That one time cannot
be the time people find out..people finally see."
***************************************************************
"According to Cleo,Dave's in a mood" Abby looked up as luka eyed the
chart

He looked up at her and smiled

"What?"

Luka shook his head and chuckled

"So maybe now wouldn't be the time to ask him if he'll cover for you
tonight?"

Luka nodded,"Just let him be"

"I guess you're right" Abby watched a piece of folded paper fly from
Dave's pocket as he stormed into the lounge
*********************************************************************
"You end up spending alot,or most of your time trying to rationalize
what you've just done"
*********************************************************************

"The mother wants him off the ventilator, and his dad is against it"
Deb absentmindly kicked the folded white paper

"Wants more time with his son,makes sense" John answered

Deb shrugged,"remind me to give this to Dave" she held up the
envelope before putting it in her pocket

"The patient??"

"Psych's talking to the parents"
