Nathan leaped out of the car that transported the seaQuest crew to the Hospital. He went
in; thinking the worst about Lucas' condition. *He was hit by car, no, no, no, a truck, a
truck. What was wrong with the driver that he could not see a child in the road!!! No,
don't do this to yourself, Lucas will turn out to be ok, yeah, that is right. Right? * Nathan
tried to assure his mind that Lucas was fine, maybe just some burses, and some scratches
but again his instincts kicked and pictured the worst. They headed towards the
emergency door and tried to enter the ER when an elderly nurse stopped them.
"I am sorry sir, you can not enter here." the nurses kindly express her thought and kept
looking at the "Personal only" sign at the door.
"Look, I am the Captain of the UEO vessel the seaquest. A member of my crew was
checked into this hospital yesterday night, I must see him. His name is Luc...."
"I am really sorry captain but I can not let anyone in here, you can get some information
at the front desk. Then they can advise me to let you in. Other than that, I am sorry."
"Thanks allot" Nathan felt that he could take on this annoying nurse but he had to restrain
himself from doing so.
Kristen moved Nathan out of her way and she tried her luck. "Wait, I am Lucas
Wolenczak's personal physician, I must see how he is."
"I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do. You must check with the front desk." And
with that, she slammed the door shut.
Nathan motioned to his crew to wait at the waiting room as he checked Lucas status.
They agreed and a few minutes later, Nathan came back to face his crew.
"Nathan, what's wrong" Kristen asked as she noticed all the blood drained form Nathan's
face.
"Lucas... He was pulled into the OR 2 hours ago." His eyes were about to burst of tears
but fought his emotions and continued. "They are removing his spleen. There was major
internal bleeding and..." A soft voice broke Nathan's concentration and turned to see a
middle aged woman standing in the doorway.
"Excuse me, I am Doctor Chambers and I performed the operation on a Mr. Lucas
Wolenczak."
"Dr. Chambers, how is he?" Nathan blurted out, forgetting about introductions.
"He is going to be fine. His spleen was causing major internal bleeding and had to be
removed. He can live with out one. From what his father told the paramedic, he was
running when he turned the corner and was struck by a truck. The truck tired to stopped
but hit his side, going 15 miles per hour. He was thrown about 30 feet and his right leg
was broken when he landed on the ground. We took some x-rays and he had several
broken ribs because of the impact of the truck to his side." The doctor paused and took a
deep breath. "His father checked him in and he just left him here." Trying to control her
emotions, knowing that she was getting too emotional involved, she quickly turn to
another subject. . "I may take one person in to see him. He is in ICU and we will move
him to a private room when he wakes up."
The whole crew stood in silence. They could never picture Lucas hurt. It was just too
painful to hear about his condition. Nathan did not know what hurt more, Lucas being
hurt or Lucas being left alone hurt. Lt Krieg had had enough and walked toward to the
window. His fists shoved into his pockets and began to mumble. He mumbling was
getting louder and louder until they were shouts.
"What kind of father could do that to his son. Captain, that bastard does not deserve
Lucas...!" Lt. Krieg was ready to blow up with anger. To him Lucas was his brother he
never had. The thought of that bastard leaving this kid alone was too much.
"Lt, control yourself, we later can yell at his so-call-it father in person but right now, we
have to focus on Lucas." Nathan quickly turn to the doctor. "I'll go see him."
"Alright," The doctor slowly walked out of the room giving Nathan a moment with his
crew.
Nathan turned to his crew. "Thank you" he whispered to them and left. No one
protested for him not to go, they all knew the bond he shared with Lucas was strong. The
Captain was honored to have such a crew.
As the Captain and the Dr. Chambers walked toward the ICU, the crew sat around in a
circle, bent their heads down and silently prayed.
As the doctor opened the door to the ICU rooms, she slowly stopped her actions and
turned to talk to Nathan. "Right now, Captain… um, I did not catch your name sir?"
"Nathan Bridger" He notice a worry sight in her eyes. "What is it Dr. Chambers?"
"I must warn you Captain Bridger, Lucas is not looking too well. His physical
appearance was very disturbing when I first saw him, even now, they still are. He had
several deep burses in his face, arms,... I mean everywhere. But do not worry, he is
doing much better." She paused again, finally that they were alone, she could tell him
what was really troubling her." I wanted to tell his father but since he is not here, I guess
I have to tell you."
*Oh my god, something is very wrong with him, something must be, she wouldn't have
told the rest if it was very serious* Nathan shot her a worry look.
"When Lucas was thrown from the impacted, he landed mostly on his leg but also on his
back and head. There was no fracture to his head or his back but he had some swelling in
his head when he was checked in. We do not think it is serious but I can't rule out the
possibility of minor brain damage. Please understand that we might not know until he
wakes up. I am probably over reacting but I do not take chances."
"I understand Doctor." * yeah right, minor brain damage? It is still damage to something
that controls who you are. But must act brave, not for me, for Lucas* "As along as he
knows that I am here for him, he will be comfortable."
"Uhh, Captain, he is unconscious and he might not know that you are there."
"I guess it is the other way around Doctor."
"Huh?"
"As long I know I am there for him, I will be the one comfortable."
The doctor gave him a huge smile and soon agreed with the Lt. Krieg when he shouted
out that Lucas did not deserve his own father. She finished opening the door and let
Nathan in. There were soo many beds with recovering patients. Nathan and the doctor
walked down the hall of beds and Nathan could not help but to look at the patients. All
were asleep and the curtains covering them were half opened. Only one bed had the
curtains all the way shut. A silent beep was coming from the enclosed bed and that
meant only one thing, heart monitor. The doctor stopped dead in her tracks and Nathan
motioned with his head if that was the bed. She nodded and soon left the captain alone
with the boy. Nathan took a deep breath and pulled the curtain wall. What he saw made
this, brave UEO Captain of the most powerful ship in the world, drop his head down and
began to cry.
