"Doc, over here!!!" Sully waved him over.

"Carlos get the bags and meet me over there!"

"Yeah!" Carlos replied.

"What have we got Sully?"

"She's down there. I don't know any details. Bosco and Yokas are with her. Be careful going down. Yokas! Shine your light up so Doc can see!" Sully screamed down.

"Doc here!" Carlos returned with the bags.

"Okay, let's go!"

Doc and Carlos started to begin their descent down the slope.

"Bosco, what have we got?" Doc asked.

Still holding the young woman's hand, "Uhm...It's hard to say Doc! Female.I'd say between 25 and 35. Looks like she's been stabbed several times and had the shit kicked out of her, Doc" Bosco said leaning into him, keeping his voice low.

Doc shook his head and started to examine the woman while Carlos took her vitals.

"She has a week pulse and her respiration is threading. Her BP is 70/40!! Doc, we got to get her out of here!!"

"Okay, get Sully and Davis to help with the stretcher. We need to get her out now!" Doc instructed Carlos who was already half way up the slope.

Doc pulled out a needle and injected the young woman with something. He placed her neck in a C-collar as per protocol. He began to place bandages over the visible wounds to try and control the blood.

"Doc, okay!" Carlos said with the stretcher.

"Okay, come here, we're going to have to turn her over onto the backboard. Gently!! On my count 1, 2, 3" Both Doc and Carlos turned the young woman over to fully see the extent of her injuries.

"Oh God! Apply pressure to the wounds!! Bosco get over here!"

"What do you need?!"

"Hold onto that pressure dressing while we lift her up. Do not let go!!"

"Yeah, okay!!"

"Carlos, ready and lift!!"

As Doc and Carlos lifted the young woman onto the stretcher, her face became more visible.

Bosco couldn't help but look at her. He stared at the young woman. What could she have possibly done that was so bad that someone would want to do this to her? His thoughts mulled over this. He knew it could be random but usually in random cases the damage was never this calculated. This person wanted her to die and tried damned hard to do so.

Bosco held on to the wound just as Doc said. He stared more intently at the young woman now.

There is something about her that seems really familiar but what! She looks familiar but I can't place her. But I've seen her face before.

"Bosco!" Doc yelled at the dazed Bosco who was staring at his patient.

"Yeah.What!!" Bosco snapped out of his trance and answered Doc.

"I said we got it now. Thanks we've got it from here!" Doc nodded as him and Carlos finished loading the young woman up on the bus.

"No, I'm gonna come! Yokas, meet me at Mercy!" Bosco yelled over his shoulder to his partner as he got into the back of the bus.

"Right behind you!" She replied back.

While in the back of the bus, Doc continued to further treat as many of the wounds as he could.

The young woman began to stir.

"It's okay", Doc said, " I'm a paramedic. I'm here to help. We're taking you to the hospital."

She reached up to take the oxygen mask off and tried to talk but it was too much off an effort.

"This is there to help you breathe." Doc said.

She stirred more and started to groan. Her eyes fluttered and strained to open. "Don't try to move much", Doc said trying to comfort her.

She whimpered and finally opened her eyes. Oh God, it hurts!!!! Make it stop!!!! The young woman screamed silently to her sub-conscious.

She searched for that hand, the hand of reassurance. She closed her eyes cause it just hurt so much to do so many things at once. She reached out her hand to find the solace she found before.

Both Doc and Bosco looked at the young woman's movements. Doc assumed it was meant for him. He held her hand but she pulled away.

Oh God!!!!! Make it go away!!!! She screamed to herself again.

She whimpered again and raised her hand again.

Doc looked at Bosco who was just starring in astonishment.

"What should I do? She wont take my hand." Doc asked Bosco.

"Do you mind if I try?" Bosco asked and pointing to switch seats.

"Yeah, go ahead."

Bosco sat down next to his and slid her hand into hers. She squeezed it.

Please help me!!!! Was all she kept saying in her head. I don't want to die!!!! Not like this!!!!!

They arrived at Mercy and brought her to emergency.

"We have a female about 25 to 35 years of age suffering from multiple stab wounds to the upper abdominal and lower abdominal region as well as stab wounds to her back. She has severe contusions and lacerations to her face and back. Her BP is 70/40, pulse is weak and respiration is threading!" Doc drilled off to the doctor.

"Okay 1,2,3,......" The doctor and his staff lifted her up onto the gurney and began to work fervently on the young victim.

"Bosco come on there is nothing more we can do. It's in there hands now" Doc placed his hand on Bosco's arm and said lightly.

"Yeah, I know" Bosco said still starring at the young woman he just brought in who held onto his hand as if her ultimate survival depended on it.

"Come on Bosco let's get you cleaned up." Doc said taking him by his shoulder.

"Yeah" was all he got out and followed Doc into the Doctor's lounge.

"You alright Bosco?" Doc looked concerned at the young officer.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I by?" Bosco scoffed trying to play it off.

"I don't know, but you're okay?" Doc replied.

"Yeah, I'm good!" Bosco said drying his hands off nodding his head.

"Good, then I'll see you outside then." Doc said and pointed to the door and gave his friend a hit of support. Doc began to walk out but before Doc had a chance to leave,

"Doc, is she going to make it?"

"I don't know Bosco. That's really not my call."

"Doc, seriously in you opinion?" walking closer to him his eyes glazed over with distress, " Do you think she'll survive those injuries?"

Doc stared at Bosco seeing the need for his answer.

"Honestly, Bosco she suffered some major blood loss and her wounds are pretty severe. The fact that she survived all that, I still can't believe it. In all honesty, she should be dead. That's how bad her injuries are. But the fact that she is still alive after all that tells me that even though I may say as a professional no, that young lady in there just proved me wrong by making it this far. The doctors here are good and they will do everything they can. But it's mostly on the young woman in there. So, because of all that my answer is yes, I do think she will survive." Doc nodded at Bosco.

"Thanks man."

"Yeah, sure, I'll see you out there" Doc nodded and left.

Bosco stood there and looked at his hands. They were clean but he could still feel her blood on them and he could still feel her hand in his. He felt her fear.

Bosco sat down with his head between his legs and placed his hands over his head and just closed his eyes. He began to rock back and forth, trying to get rid of that nagging feeling that he seen her before.

Shit but where!!!!
