"Come on Sid, those winds are liable to blow your hair off!" Colonel Potter yelled heading straight for post op.
"Hawkeye…"
"What about him?"
Sidney pulled them both to a halt. "He was in the officers club…he…didn't want to…it…the wind"
"Sidney calm down…did Hawkeye leave the club before it collapsed?"
"No" He said simply.
The Colonel slightly shoved Sidney towards Post op. "Go get some help, we gotta get him out."
Sidney nodded and did just that.
Colonel Potter had stopped dead in front of the club. Hawkeye couldn't possibly be alive, he thought. He shook the thoughts out of his head and started to yell his surgeon's name.
"Hawkeye! It's Potter, We're gonna get you out son! Make some noise if you hear me."
Just then, BJ, Klinger and Sidney appeared.
"Where Colonel?" BJ asked, the rain now starting to shower them all so badly, they could barely see.
"Don't know BJ…listen for any movement…start lifting the sheet up…"
Hollering of Hawkeye's name became less frequent and far between. The winds had now started to fade and the rain was starting to let up. Father Mulcahy appeared holding his hat tightly.
He looked around for a moment assessing the situation "Is he?" was all he could say.
"Don't know yet Father, but a little cross action cant hurt." BJ replied still sifting getting closer to the far left corner of the club.
"I haven't stopped since you've been out here." He replied and turned his eyes quickly to the heavens.
In that instant…
"Colonel…I got him…help!" BJ hollered over to him.
The four men hurried and within seconds could see Hawkeye under the rubble lying still.
"He's not moving Colonel" Klinger yelled.
"Don't move him, be careful."
Sidney was awe stricken and couldn't help but let the guilt over take him.
"Klinger, get a stretcher…"
Just then Radar appeared with a stretcher. "Got a stretcher for ya sir."
The Colonel didn't have time for a wise crack. "Alright boys, load him up, nice and smooth, get him into pre op…"
Margaret and Nurse Abel immediately started to clean the cuts. BJ was so exhausted he could barely give orders but something inside him screamed out to see his friend in pain. He couldn't help but notice Sidney sitting alone staring at the floor. But he didn't have time for that now.
"Vitals!?" BJ yelled.
"Pulse is weak but there sir...BP is okay…"
"He had to of gotten knocked out pretty good, we need to get those x-rays, move him slow and get him in there."
***
Hours later the camp continued on as normal. People going about their daily routines as if nothing happened.
Sidney however wasn't among them.
"It's my fault Colonel..."
"Sidney he wouldn't budge, there was nothing you could do, you had to get out or you would be lying in there next to Hawkeye or worse…you cant let this guilt get the best of you, Hawkeye will be fine, and when he does come around he's gonna need you…"
"You're right Sherman, you're always right." He smiled.
Radar pushed through the doors.
"What is it Radar?"
"Sir, Hawkeye is coming around."
AN: Hang in there troops, have no clue where this ones going…it'll all make sense soon enough don't worry. Hope ya'll had a wonderful holiday and may this New Year bring blessing after blessing!
