She stared in front of her blankly, her mind wandering.
"Are you with us,Dr.Chen??" Mark tapped her shoulder.
Deb nodded,"Sorry"
"It's fine" he moved some papers on the other side of him,"Just don't let Kerry catch you"
She smiled

sun sets 'cross the ocean / i'm a thousand miles from anywhere / my pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen / and the sun act like she don't even care / the wind blows cold when you reach the top / it feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe

The orders ran through his head,"Avoid heavy cases, don't lift anything..no shift movements" Carter clinched his jaw as he drove into work for the first time..in a long time
"Don't screw this up John" he muttered to himself,pounding his fist on the dashboard,pulling into the parking structure

"Phone" Randi called
Deb looked up
"Yeah you,Chen" Randi answered
She walked over to the phone,"Line??"
Randi shrugged
"Randi!"
"Line 2" she smirked
"Hello??"
"Deb!"

and a blind man on the corner said it's simple, like flipping a coin / don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime / but i've been down so long / ooh, it can't be longer still / we've been down so long / that the end must be drawing near
************************************
He rested his forehead in his hands,the phone leaning against his ear.
"It's fine" she looked around,"Everyone misses you" Deb instantly blushed,Randi turning around and smiling at her
"I can't" Carter said softly
"John.." Deb hid her face with her hand,to avoid Randi's smile turned grin,"Really.."
"I mean it Deb"
She hung up the phone
"Deb!" he cried
"You know where I'm going Randi" Deb sighed
She nodded,"Right..."
"Be right back" Deb clinched her jaw,ready to drag him back
**************************************
"I can't do it" he sighed
Deb ran her fingers through her hair before pulling it up into a ponytail,"Okay" she opened the car door,"Alright"
"Alright what??" Carter looked puzzled
She closed the door behind her,"Alright,give up"
"What!"
"Isn't that what you're doing,John??Giving up" Deb asked
He leaned his head against the steering wheel,"You meant what you said,right??"
Deb bit her lip
"About you needing me??"
************************************
i take a trip, i catch a train, i catch a plane / i got a ticket in my hand / and then a man takes my money / and like cattle we all stand / but we've been down so long / ooh, it can't be longer still

"Your patient has been asking for you" Mark called,"Welcome back Carter"
He smiled,"Thanks"
"Chen!!" Kerry screamed
"See what you did?" Deb squeezed his hand,"I never get in trouble with Weaver..."
"Carter" she stopped in her tracks,"Nice to see you.Welcome back"
Carter chuckled
"Your patients,Jing Mei..you can't just leave like that"
"I know Dr.Weaver.." Deb replied
"Good to see you up and around Carter" she touched his shoulder as she limped away
"This time you saved me" Deb whispered,"How odd.."
"Weird.." he laughed
*****************************************
we've been down so long / the end must be... i know the end must be... / oh, i know the end must be drawing near
