*Flashback:
I was official on duty now. Lucky me right?
As I looked through the files for a patient, a police officer walked up towards me and asked where the GSW was taken. I said trauma two, then realized, not everyone knows where that is.
"Jing-Mei, would you take him to trauma two?"
"Sure, Susan" she replied, "come with me Sir." The two walked away without me giving them a second glance.
Present:
"Trauma two?" I question nervously.
"Anything else cleared?" Carter gets straight to the point.
"Nope," Taylor replies not realizing our discomfort.
"I'll take it," Carter offers, eyes a little glazed.
"No," I say, "this one's mine."
"Susan, I got it."
"Okay"
*Flashback:
Luka and I have been working on the GSW for only a few minutes when Jing- Mei enters the trauma room with an officer.
"How's he doing?" the officer asks, pointing to the victim, I didn't even catch his name.
"He'll make it if we can get him into surgery." Luka replies.
"Stop!" the officer orders.
"What?" I ask bewildered.
"Let him die," he says menacingly.
*Present:
"Mommy, I'm hungry!" Cara says as she enters the kitchen carrying her favorite teddy bear.
"Okay, Cara what do you want to eat?" Abby asks the 4 year old.
"Pancakes, Mommy, with strawberries." Cara answers then adds, "Please."
"Sure sweetheart, but it's going to take Mommy a few minutes, okay?"
Cara nods and then goes into the TV room to watch cartoons.
Abby watches her little girl leave as she wonders what could have been.
*Flashback:
"I said, Let him die" the officer repeats as he grabs Chen and puts a gun to her head. "Or she dies."
I look at Abby. For just one second I look at Abby. Then I hear a shot, and I watch Jing-Mei fall to the ground. This stops me from moving and I hear him menacingly say, " I warned you."
"Luka," Abby says grabbing my attention and forcing me to look back at her terrified, tear stained face.
"I'll kill the two of you as well," he says.
"Stop." I whisper to Abby. She only nods. That was the beginning of the end. Not the end, just the beginning of it.
*Present:
"Where do you need me?" Luka asks as he reachs the second floor."
"They need you to check on Mrs. Tarsan, Dr. Kovac" someone informs him.
"Alright," he replies. It was going to be a long day he realized, a very long day.
*Flashback:
"What was that?" I ask, knowing full well that I had just heard a gunshot. I started in the direction that it came from. The security guards were also on their way.
Everyone comes to a stop outside one of the trauma rooms. It takes me a second to realize that it was trauma two, and another second to realize that Abby's in there.
The guards push me back from the area now as the police arrive. I can hear someone from inside yell. "I'll kill them too if you come in here." Too, I think, oh please god no.
*Present:
Carter waits outside in the rain for the GSW to arrive. It gives him too much time to think. Chuny stands beside him, but neither speaks. They both know what the other's mind is on.
The ambulance finally arrives, giving them both an eerie feeling.
