Chapter 2
Lu closed her eyes and heard the click of the gun then another and another. It was empty. Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she thought she was safe he pulled out a scalpel. Lu looked at him with horror as he brought the knife up above his head and was about to bring it down on her when someone lunged across the room and pined the man to the ground. Lu looked up in surprise to see Nick beat him to the ground. Seconds later security came running in. It took two officers to restrain Nick, as they arrested the man.
"Lana?" Lu yelled
"Yeah kid, Lana's fine." She replied getting up from behind the desk.
"Get me a gurney!! Somebody, I need assistance, Doctor down!"
Lana returned with a gurney and two RNs.
"Ok on my count, one, two, and." Lu said as they lifted Dana on to a gurney. "Female age 39 gun shot wound to the right thigh. I want an Anesthesiologist who's on call?"
"Brimeyer." One of then said.
"Ok, ready and OR, page him. Lets roll her!" Lu yelled. Her eye's began to burn with tears, She was confused and shaken' with all that had just happened.
" What the hell is going on down here!?!" Dr. Jackson yelled as her came out of the elevator as Lu and her team ran past him with Dana. "Oh dear God!" he said as he ran after them. Lu steered the gurney left to void the body of Henry. Again Lu's eyes burned, her face and coat were stained with blood. Lu and her team, followed by Jackson and Lana, busted in to the busy ER.
"On my count one, two, and." Lu said as they transferred Dana on to a table. "Ok someone page Brimeyer. I need an Anesthesiologist, give me an IV and start a central line STAT! Come on lets move!" Lu yelled.
The nurse put an IV in Dana's hand and began preparing her for surgery. "I need someone to sign for her." The RN said.
" Here." Lu said as she scribbled her name on the paper. "What's up?"
"BP is 90/100 pulse is 160. Tell the OR we are coming up now." Another doctor said.
They transfused Dana on to a gurney and where ready to take her up stairs when Dr. Jackson pulled Lu back. "Where do you think you are going?"
"To scrub in and observe."
" No your not." Bob said as he garbed Lu by the arm.
"Yes I am." Lu said harshly, pulling away and ran up the stairs to the OR area.
Lu stood in the corner of the OR watching the doctors cut into Dana and remove the bullet. Lu had never gotten sick from the sight of blood before, but this time she hardly made it to the bathroom in time. Lana watched Lu as she came down form up stairs and walked quietly in to her office. She waited awhile before heading towards her office. She walked in and found Lu curled up on the couch sobbing. "Come here kid." Lana said. "It's going to be alright."
After some of her tears had cleared she looked up. "I just keep seeing that over and over again in my head." Lu said. "She was shot right here in the clinic, and Henry was killed right down the hall. That could have been me." Lu paused. "How did he get a gun in here?"
"They aren't sure on that yet."
"Look at this." Lu said as she held up her hands that were visibly vibrating.
"Its ok." Lana said as she pulled Lu into her again. "You are really luck. If Dr. Stowe wouldn't have distracted him you would have been the one on that table."
"Dana did that?"
"Thought you knew. I saw her, as soon as the gun was pointed at you she ran to knock the man down but he was too quick for her."
"Oh my god." Lu just sat there letting everything settle. "What happened to Nick?" Lu asked when she finally spoke.
"He is fine he has a black eye though."
Peter walked through the door. "You two alright?"
"Yeah fine. How about your arm."
"Oh it will be good as new with time."
" What happened?" Lu asked.
"I was one of the RN's that our madman pushed. Its not a bad break." He said as he flexed his fingers and sat down.
"Does he have a name?"
"Yeah, Douglas something or other. He keeps on having flashbacks to the war. One of the other doctors said that when he was over seas a doctor couldn't save his best friend and I guess he took his anger out on us."
Just then the PA system came on. "Dr. Luisa Delgado, please go to Dr. Jackson's office Dr. Delgado."
"Great, that's never good." Lu said.
Once she arrived in his office Lu found Robert pacing back and forward. When he looked up she could see that he had been crying. Which made Lu very uneasy.
Oh Dr. Delgado please sit down." He said as he tried to compose himself.
"I know that you and Dr. Stowe have been working together for a few years and this may be hard to accept but." He took a deep breath. "You are going to have to have a new partner."
Lu turned pale and held her breath.
To be continued.
