One Mistake Too Many
Carter and Susan had said bye and left the hospital after the incident with Chris. Carter had a very noticeable bruise on his jaw. They had driven back to Chloe's house and packed their things and said goodbye.
Carter had managed to get earlier flights. They weren't supposed to leave for a few days but they both felt as if they should get away from Phoenix as soon as possible. They were oblivious to the person following right behind them when they got on the plane.
After the plane took off, Carter had decided it was time to talk.
"Susan I need to know why you didn't tell me about Chris," he asked.
"John, it was in the past and I wasn't ready to bring it up." Susan said quietly.
"You should have told me." Carter said as he looked at Susan.
"I know, but I figure that he would be gone when I got there. I never planned on him being there." Susan said as she stared at Carter bruised jaw.
"My jaw will be fine." Carter said. He grabbed Susan hand in his and laid his head down on the seat. Susan put her head on his shoulder and tried to get some sleep. Neither one of them saw a pair of eyes staring at them.
"Oh yes my friend, get close to her now, but soon she will be all mine" the person in the shadows said.
Sometime later:
After the plane had landed in Chicago Carter drove them back to Susan place. He had given up on having Susan tell him the story about her and Chris. It seemed to be a bad subject for her. After they arrived at Susan place he grabbed the luggage and followed Susan up to her apartment room. After they got in Carter put the stuff in the room and went back to the living room to find Susan sitting on the couch.
Carter sat down next to her.
"You should get your jaw check out John." Susan said after a while.
"OK, it hurts more than it did before." Carter said as he touches his jaw.
"Lets get some sleep, we should got back to work tomorrow." Carter said.
"Why? We have a few days off. shouldn't we use them?" Susan asked.
"Nah, I'll save them for another day" Carter said with a smile.
They got up and headed to the bedroom.
Down the street, a figure in black is looking up their apartment window.
"Yes my friend go to sleep with my girl, you will get what is coming to you" the figure said as he walked away from the building.
Next Day:
Carter and Susan walked into the ER hand and hand.
"Hey! You guys are back early." Mark Greene said as he saw them come in.
"We had a little trouble. Carter also needs his jaw checked. He got hit hard." Susan said as they walked into the lounged.
"Who hit Carter?" Mark asked.
"My ex-fiancée." Susan said. She grabbed her things and walked out the lounge.
"Well let's go to one of the exam rooms Carter." Mark said as he walked out of the lounge, unsure of what really happen. Carter followed right behind him. They got into the exam room and Carter sat on the bed while Mark looked at his jaw.
"I don't see a fracture, but it does seem a little swollen," Mark said as he finishes. Carter didn't say anything just looked at Mark.
"So tell me the truth Carter what happened?" Mark said as he sat down in one of the chairs. Carter looked down at the floor then back at Mark.
"Susan ex-fiancée is a jerk, major attitude problem, and very abusive. He kissed Susan and I pulled him away from her and the next thing I knew I was on the floor with pain in my jaw." Carter said as he got down from the bed. Carter walked out leaving Mark in uncertainty.
Later that day:
Susan was heading to exam room four to check on a patient with a major headache. When she got in there she stop dead in her tracks. Standing before her was Chris. She was about to yell for help when he ran up to her and covered her mouth with his hand and closed the door behind them.
"Listen to me and there won't be any trouble." Chris said. Susan nodded her head yes. Chris removed his hand from her mouth and let her go.
"What do you want Chris?" Susan asked.
"I want you back. I want what we used to have back." Chris pleaded.
"You cheated on me and hit me Chris. What in god's name give you the right to asked me to take you back?" Susan yelled.
"That is all over Susan. I need you now." Chris said as he walked up to Susan.
"It is over Chris. I'm in love with Carter." Susan said as she backed up.
"Like hell it is." Chris said as he grabbed Susan arm and threw her on the bed.
"You going to get what is coming to you." Chris said as he climbed on top of her.
"Hey Susan I need..." Carter words were cut short when he walked in the exam room.
"Get off her you son of bitch" Carter said as he pulled Chris away. Chris shoved him out the room. The nurse and the doctor saw Carter getting tossed across room and headed towards them. Mark was the first to arrive.
"Get the cops now." Mark yelled to the nurse as he tried to pull Chris away. Carter had gotten up and went back to help Mark.
"Get off me." Chris yelled as he tried to break loose. Chris managed to break free from the grip of both Mark and Carter. He grabbed Carter and pulls the knife from his pocket and hit Carter in the shoulder with the handle. The cop's came rushing in just as Carter hit the floor from the hit. They handcuffed Chris and literally dragged him out of the hospital.
"Carter, are you alright?" Mark said as he looked at Carter. Carter got up ignoring the pain in his shoulder and ran to Susan who was sitting up. He pulled her into a hug. He felt tears going in to his shirt, so he just held Susan as she cried. Mark and the rest of the group closed the door to give them time alone.
"They both are going to need help Kerry." Mark said.
"I know." Kerry said as she walked over to the desk and called for a psych
