Familiar Faces

Chapter Two: Lucy Who?



Carter felt as though he had been socked in the stomach. It couldn't possibly be Lucy's cousin. It was just way too freaky for him to even begin to deal with.

"Luce…..Lucy who?" he asked, stuttering in disbelief.

"Lucy Knight." Audrey replied, calmly. "Did you know her?"

"Um, a, um….no. I didn't." he stammered.

"Really? I know that she did her residency here. When did you start working at County General?" asked Audrey, innocently.

"Well, I always have." He replied. "But I started in surgery. I probably hadn't decided to change to emergency medicine yet."

He hoped that sounded somewhat believable. It was partially the truth, he had started out in surgery. But he couldn't tell her that he knew Lucy, more than knew her. He couldn't tell her about the friction between them, or the chemistry he had felt. He couldn't let her know that they had kissed once. And he most definitely couldn't let her know that he had pretty much caused her death – or at least felt that he had caused her death.

"That makes sense." She responded, full-heartedly believing him.

"I'm sure I would have liked her if I had known her." Said Carter.

Carter looked around him uneasily as Audrey finished the last few bites of her sandwich. He noticed a nurse dressed in green scrubs walking quickly toward him.

"Abby!" called Carter.

Under any other circumstances, Carter would not have been so excited to see Abby Lockheart. The two had dated briefly last year, and it ended with a long, messy breakup. Abby had almost caused Carter to return to his addictions when he had tried to help her. He had honestly cared about her, and she broke his heart. Abby was usually the last person Carter wanted to see, but at least she was interrupting this weird conversation.

"Hi. Sorry to bother you, but we have an MVA coming in. Multiple traumas." She explained.

"That's ok, we were just finishing." Replied Carter. "Abby, this is my new med student, Audrey Turner."

"We've met." Replied Abby, coyly.

Obviously Abby didn't like Audrey too much. Why would she? Audrey was bubbly, cheerful, and full of life. Abby was an introvert, and not very sociable.

"Well, Audrey, looks like you get to witness your very first trauma!" exclaimed Carter.

"I guess I do!" replied Audrey, following Carter out of the Cafeteria.

"Oh boy!" exclaimed Abby, sarcastically, as she followed both of them.



A/N: Sorry so short! I ran out of time. The next one will be longer I promise! Review! Thanks!
