"What the…" Lu walked into her office, late for her next appointment, and found her desk all messed up, files spread over the floor and… "OH MY GOSH!!" she screamed as she found her next patient, Sharon Mesaro, unconscious on the floor. There was no sign of anyone else around, just her lying there next to the desk. Lu checked Sharon's pulse, and if anything else was wrong with her, but it seemed like she just passed out.
"What's ha…" Dana heard Lu screaming and entered Lu's office. "Oh god, did she pass out?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out," Lu said, all confused. Suddenly, her pager started beeping. "OK, this is so NOT GOOD… ohh… could you take care of Sharon?"
"Sure," Dana said, looking at Lu running out of the office. She's so busy and worried… Dana thought, wondering what could have happened yesterday…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey, what is this about??" Lu came running down the hall.
"Elisabeth Johnson, she was hit by a bus. Her leg is broken, and she has a torn spleen." Peter took a look at Lu. "What's wrong? You look confused."
"I just found Sharon, my patient, unconscious in my office, I don't know what happened. Dana is with her now, but it's just so weird…" Lu said. "OK, we have to get Elisabeth into the O.R."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Sharon, can you hear me?" Dana was sitting next to Sharon's bed, when suddenly Lu came in.
"How is she?" Lu took a look at Sharon, and then she looked at Dana.
"She has a concussion, something might have hit her on the head. But I don't know, she hasn't woken up yet."
"What happened?" Sharon whispered. She tried to sit up, but she didn't have enough strength and the wave of dizziness forced her to lie down again.
"Oh, you're awake. We're actually trying to find out what happened to you. Don't you remember anything?" Lu asked.
"No…" Sharon moaned, closing her eyes because of the terrible headache. "I only remember me walking into your office… and the look in his eyes…" At that moment, Sharon became unconscious again.
"Something's going on here. Let's ask some others if they know about this. I'll ask Nick, and Lana." Dana stood up, and left the room, leaving Lu with Sharon.
The look in his eyes… Lu didn't know what she had to think. Was there a man in my office? What would he be looking for? She stood up, looked at Sharon again, before going back to her office. There she found Sharon's bag, and checked it, but all she found was an empty wallet, some photos and a quick note. It said: "4 PM: appointment with dr. Lu Delgado."
Lu started to collect all the files. She remembered the look in Kilner's eyes very well.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"OK... Rittenhouse Women's Health Center. Here we go..." Sharon said to herself.
It was almost 4 PM. She walked in, and it remembered her of the first time she was in this hospital. Her mother was suddenly admitted to the hospital, and three days later she died. That was nearly a year ago now, and Sharon didn't remember the hospital very well.
She only remembered dr. Lu Delgado. She did absolutely everything to save her mom, and after her death, Lu still cared very much about Sharon, and tried to help, even though she was raped only a week ago. But Sharon was just too angry, and sad, she didn't accept Lu's help. Almost a year later, she felt so guilty, because Lu was the one who needed help back then, she thought. That's why she decided to go back and apologize.
She stood in front of Lu's office, hesitating. She was a bit scared that Lu would be angry, but immediately realized she wouldn't. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Nobody answered. Sharon opened the door, and saw a big mess, and in that mess stood a man. He was looking for something, and seemed very desperate for it.
Shocked to see Sharon come in, he said, with an angry voice: "What are you doing here?"
Sharon looked at him again. The look on his face scared her.
"I have an appointment with dr. Delgado." she said.
"She's not here now. Please leave again." the man said, with that same angry look in his eyes.
Sharon felt something was wrong, but didn't want to leave Lu's office. "No, I won't leave, I'll just wait until she gets back."
At that point, the man just lost his mind. "Won't you? You..." He walked towards Sharon and slapped her in the face. Sharon tried to avoid him and run away, but he was to fast and to strong. He grabbed her and beat her again. He shoved Sharon's back, and her head hit the edge of the desk. She sank to the floor, not knowing what happened to her. All she remembered was that look in his eyes...
