At the Admin desk, everyone froze, trying to think where the shot came from.
Then it clicked. That was Abby screaming.
"ABBY!!"
Kerry, Susan and Luka ran into Exam 4. And they had to stifle their screams.
Abby lay on the ground, clutching her stomach, surrounded by blood. She was screaming and crying. Luka knelt down beside her. He held her gently, trying to make her stop.
"Luka.....he .....he" she tried to make him understand, tried to tell him what happened.
"Shhhh...it's going to be ok."
Kerry and Susan went over to Jason. It appeared he had shot himself in the head. There was no way he was alive. Kerry shook her head.
"Damn psych."
"Susan, it's not their fault."
"Not their fault? The guy just blown himself halfway to Washington and shot Abby and psych said they couldn't come down here because they were too busy? He needed help Kerry."
"Kerry!" Luka's voice sounded desperate and thick with tears.
Kerry and Susan turned and saw Luka cradling Abby.
"She just crashed. She was talking and then....."
"Abby, Abby, can you hear me? Wake up for me sweetheart!" Susan tried to wake her, but there was no response.
Kerry pushed the emergency buzzer. "I need a gurney in here!"
Haleh and Chuny ran in and gasped when they saw Abby lying there. "Get her to Trauma now!"
They wheeled her into Trauma 1. Luka followed, feeling helpless. There was so much blood! He walked in. He needed to help, needed to do something for her.
"Abby. Abby talk to me!"
"Luka, let us do our jobs"
"No, I want to stay with her!"
"Luka, you need to go outside. You are no help to us or Abby like this." Chuny took Luka out. He stood behing the door, watching them try to save the woman he loved.
Kerry looked Abby. She was so pale. And she had screamed for help. Or fear. Or shock.
"Haleh, get on to the blood bank. Type and cross for 6 units and hang 2 units of O-neg."
"Dammit Kerry she's losing heaps of blood."
"Dr. Weaver, blood bank says the blood will be here in 20 minutes."
"We don't have 20 minutes!"
Susan and Kerry worked on Abby. "We need to get the bullet out ." "I can't find it. There's so much blood! It looks like it nicked her spleen."
"Keep looking....it has to be in there somewhere."
"She's crashing!"
"Dr Weaver, she's in V-Fib!"
"Susan, bag her!"
"Charge the paddles to 200."
"Clear!"
Abby's body jumped as the electricity pulsed through her.
"Still in V-Fib. Come on Abby, don't do this to us." Susan was finding it difficult to see through her tears.
"Charge the paddles to 300."
"Clear!"
Again, her body jumped. The monitors sounded harsh and cruel. Telling them she wasn't going to make it.
Still they went on.
"Dammit fight Abby! You're better than this! We need you. Come on!"
"Charge the paddles to 360!"
"Clear!"
There was silence as the monitors stopped their teasing.
"Normal sinus rhythm."
"She's back!" Kerry covered Abby's open wound with a sterile sheet. She needed to be operated on, and they weren't going to lose her again.
"Get her up to the OR now. Susan, keep bagging."
Luka watched them go. Watched them take her, Susan breathing for her.
He felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Kerry.
"Luka, go up to the OR. Abby needs to see a familiar face when she wakes up."
Luka just looked at her, his eyes full of pain. He'd lost Danjiela, surely he couldn't lose Abby too? God was not that cruel. Was he?
"Thankyou."
As Luka walked into the lounge he felt exhausted, and heavy. He looked down at his shirt. It was covered in her blood.
***She kissed him.
"What was that for?"
"A thankyou present"
"What did I do?"
"Everything. My mom, my brother......you make me safe Luka"
"I'll always be here Abby. I'll always protect you."
"I love you."***
He hadn't protected her. He let her down.
He cried.
