"Get more oxygen over here!" the doctor yelled.

"Aye Sir!" The nurse yelled while her hands busy to put the oxygen mask over the patient face.

"The blood pressure is dropping! Heart rate also dropping!"

"Cardiac arrest! Prepare electric paddlers!"

The nurse quickly got into her position. "300 (an: in volt). Clear!" A jolt of electric passed through the patient's chest. No reaction what so ever. "400. Clear!" Again another jolt of electric which bring a reaction. "OK, let finished this up. We don't have much time."

The teams of doctor efficiently back into their own position and tried to finish their job ASAP. Any delayed will cost the patient's life.

"My God! Captain, look at this!" one of the doctors suddenly yelled after he examined the wound.

"God! I hope I will not see this. Let's just take bullet out first. The rest of it will have to wait." The Captain ordered. 'Just how in the world am I going to tell his family about this' Captain thought in silence.

Surgery's Waiting Room

Okinawa, Japan

Four people frantically run their way through the hallway with their aide trailed behind and stopped at the nurse station. Two young lieutenants obviously engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even see the incoming. They had their back face the desk.

"Lt., I need you to tell me which surgery rooms are Commander and Lt. Rabb's".

Without even looking up from her conversation, one of them said, "Just sign your name and leave me the inquiry. I'll check for you." Just that and they were back to conversation.

Harm was just about to open his mouth when he heard a loud bellowed.

"ATTENTION!" Mac yelled with her voice that would make any drilled sergeant felt proud.

The two young lieutenants jumped into attention and so some of the junior office that happened to walk by the station.

The lieutenants suddenly grew pale as they face with one furious Marine General. "Lieutenants! What kind of attitude is that? Didn't they teach you any of this in NROTC?!"

"I give you two minutes to check where Commander and Lt. Rabb are or I will personally stripped the bar off your shelves. Do you understand me?!"

"Ma'am! Yes, ma'am!" they quickly scramble their feet for the information. While Mac realized that some of the staff still standing in attention. "As you were." If it wasn't because of the situation, Harm would have to grin. 'Don't mess around with marine'.

Exactly 1 minutes and 45 seconds later, the lieutenant came back with information. She came to attention in front of the three senior officer, she didn't know who the fourth man was but if he hang around admirals and general, she gather it is not best to mess around with the men also.

"So, lt.?" "Captain Thern will meet you in a minute, Ma'am. He attended to Commander Rabb. Lieutenant Rabb is still in the surgery. Captain Thern had been informed of your arrival."

"Very well, consider a reprimand letter being add to your record for this incident, lt.!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Dismissed"

As promised, a gray hair man, probably in his 50's, with a warm smile approach them. "Ma'am, Sirs, I am Captain Thern." They shook hand and acknowledge each other.

"How is the commander, Captain?" Clay asked.

"His shoulder wound get infected and he had a mild concussion. Other than that he is also dehydrated and got beaten pretty bad. Couple bruises on his ribs, it will sore for a while. Considered of all of those, he is stabilize now. I kept him mildly sedate to help me rest. He got pretty worked out when he woke up just now. He kept yelling for 'Trey', do you by any chance know who is he talking about?"

"Trey is his brother." Harm said quietly.

"They said about another patient with bullet wound. He is…" Captain Thern trailed away.

"I'm pretty sure that they are taking about my other son, Trey. Both just being rescued from POW camp." Harm completed Captain's sentence.

"I'm sorry, Sir."

"That's okay. Can we see him now?"

"Yes, a nurse will take you to his room. If you have any questions, you can ask her to find me. Meanwhile, I'll see what I can find about Trey."

"Thank you, Captain. I appreciate it."
