Part 3
Catherine finally made it home; she put her stuff on the table by the door and saw a sleeping figure on the couch. She slowly approached the small boy and gently woke him up "Dylan, what are you doing out here?" she asked her son
"I thought you said we were going to talk when you got home mom," Dylan said
"I did say that didn't I?" she said "So why don't you want to go to school tomorrow?" she asked
"Cause Mrs. Coen has bad breath," Dylan said
"I know honey but, I can't buy you a gas mask I can't afford it right now" she said jokingly
"Aww, can't I at least stay home tomorrow?" the boy asked
"No, you have to go to school sorry" she said
"Aw but mom" he protested
"But nothing now get to bed" she said scooting him to his bedroom
"Love you mom" Dylan said hugging her
"I love you too, now good night." she said shutting the door behind him. Catherine got her pajamas on and sat down in front of the TV when she heard the phone ring "Hello," she said kind of annoyed
"That's a nice way to answer the phone," the voice said on the other line
"Hi Sarah, sorry I've had a tough day" Cat said
"That's okay how's work going?" Sarah said
"So far so good I just don't like my resident" Cat said
"Well this one couldn't be as bad as the other one" Sarah said
"True, how is Bud doing?" Cat asked
"He's getting better every day he says hi," Sarah said
"Well tell him I said hi to and Harriet, listen Sarah I've got to get going I've got an early shift tomorrow" Cat said
"Okay give my nephew a kiss for me" Sarah said
"I will, love you" Cat said hanging up the phone

The next day
"Catherine you're late" Pratt said as he saw her running in the doors
"I'm sorry I had a small problem this morning" Catherine said signing in
"No excuses, be on time" Pratt said walking away
"Don't mind him, he's just mad cause someone pissed in his Cheerios this morning" Gallant said
"Thanks I had some car problems this morning, darn thing wouldn't start had to take it to the shop and now I've got to find a ride home tonight" Catherine said
"I've got a car I'll take you home" Gallant said
"Thanks Gallant I'll take you up on your offer" Catherine said
"Cat Gallant need you now" Pratt said pushing a kid through the ambulance bay doors
"What do we got?" Cat asked
"Five year old male drowning victim" Pratt said, "Okay on my count 1, 2, 3," he continued placing her on the bed. After an hour of working on the kid they got her stabilized
"Nice job, Cat" Gallant said
"Thanks I can't believe that kids parents let her wander off like that," Cat said taking off her gloves
"I guess it happens" Gallant said
"Man I'm hungry in all my haste I forgot to eat breakfast this morning" Cat said
"Well how bout we go over to Docs my treat" Gallant said
"Okay, give me five minutes and I'll meet you over there" Cat said going towards the desk "Randy if Pratt is looking for me, tell him I'm over at Docs and he can page me" she said grabbing her purse
"No problem" Randy said smacking her gum. Catherine ran across the street avoiding getting hit by an oncoming truck
"Jerk" she muttered under her breath, she walked in and saw him in the back talking to the waitress. "You better not be ordering for me," she said jokingly
"No mam" Gallant said standing up when she got to the table
"You live up to your last name" Cat said taking off her coat and sitting down
"Well my mom always taught me how to be polite," Gallant said
"Well I'll have to thank her sometime" Cat said joking, as she said her pager went off "Sheesh I just got here and he is already paging me" she said turning her pager off
"I'll go with you" Gallant said getting up, they got to the ambulance bay and saw two ambulances pull up
"You two better gown up we've got multiple GSW's coming some jerk shot up an elementary school" Carter said meeting the first ambulance
"Great" Cat muttered gathering herself a gown and running to meet an ambulance with Gallant
"5 year old boy gunshot to the lower extremity and a broken leg" Zadro said pulling the little boy out
"Oh my god" Cat said as she saw the boy being pulled out
