**Here goes chapter five, PLEASE R&R I want to know what you guys think so
far (Good, Bad whatever) **
Carter was very disoriented when he finally awoke, he faintly heard voices and made out many shady figures hovering around him. Blinded by the light shinning above he struggled to remember what had happened. Minus the slight tingling in his hands, his body was basically numb; the high pitched ringing in his ears seized and the voices around him became clear.
"I'm sure he has a concussion, possibly a skull fracture so I want to get a head CT STAT"
"Yes, Doctor, should I give him anything?"
"Well, he's stable so lets wait until after the CT, just give him ahh, 10 mgs of Morphine for now"
Carter's heart skipped a beat 'Morphine,' he desperately tried to speak, sit up, move his leg anything. It was as if his brain was working but his body was on a lunch break, panicking, he managed to speak but one word, "NO!" this drew the attention of those around him.
"Welcome back Dr. Carter, (the unformiluar nurse smiled) administering 10 mgs of Morphine"
Feeling his consciousness yet again beginning to slip away, he struggled again to speak, "NO!"
Carter heard a voice echo,"He's incoherent, give it to him"
Barely feeling the prick of the needle, his whole body became stiff, but before the poison entered his veins, he was swallowed up by darkness once again.

The second time Carter awoke the images around him were clear, he recognized the fact he was in a hospital bed in an unfamiliar room. He slowly began to sit up when he noticed that there was an IV in his arm attached to a bag full of what seemed to be saline. It was just then that a white haired man with glasses entered the room,
"Don't touch that IV Dr. Carter, My name is Doctor Broze; you are at Mercy General Hospital. Do you remember what happened?"
Carter's silence implied to the older Doctor that he did not,
"Well, you were mugged; it seemed as though you were knocked unconscious from behind with some sort of club or bat of some sort, you were found shortly after and transported by ambulance here. You suffered a concussion and the laceration on the back of your neck was quiet deep, we put in two stiches.We also ran a CT but it was negative."
Carter now remembered, recalling getting off at the wrong stop, the sharp pain, the blood on his hand. Carter simply shook his head but remanned silent.
"Would you like something for the pain?" Doctor Broze lightly smiled
The memory returned, they had given him Morphine hadn't they; maybe he had just dreamt it, it couldn't of happened. He was to terrified to ask,
" No I don't want anything, thank you" he finally spoke
He forced himself to speak, "Have you given me any pain medicine so far?"
holding his breath he waited for the answer,
"Well, yes we gave some Morphine"
Carter could almost feel the color drain from his face, the placebo made his skin crawl. Dr. Broze was startled by Carter's sudden change in state,
"It would be my advise that you stayed the night"
Carter quickly answered, "No, I'll be leaving right away" his words were shaky.
"You'll be leaving against medical advice,(Carter's lack of response indicated he didn't care) Ok, but you cannot drive tonight, perhaps someone could pick you up?"
Carter shook his head impling 'yes',
"You should come back in two weeks to have those stiches removed, and please don't hesitate to come back if you experience any nasua or suver head ache"
"Ok, thank you Doctor"
Dr. Broze smiled as he left Carter alone to ponder with his thoughts.
