'Incoming!' Radar yelled over the football game being played in the
compound. Izzy suddenly felt sick. She didn't want to have to look at the
wounded come in.
'What do you want me to do?' she asked Hawkeye.
'Stay out of the way, that's what you can do,' Hawkeye said. 'I know how much you hate the blood.'
'I have to do something,' Izzy insisted, trying not to be sick as Hawkeye bent over a badly wounded soldier.
'Nurse!' Hawkeye yelled. 'Look, Izzy,' he said as a nurse came running. 'I know you feel useless just standing there while we operate, but there isn't much else you can do. You don't like seeing all these men half blown up, and I don't blame you.'
'Alright, Hawkeye,' Izzy said, and she stepped back to let him pass.
'Parker! Get over here!' Frank yelled. Izzy went over to him, but tried not to stare at the body at their feet. 'Get him inside,' Frank ordered.
'I can't,' Izzy said.
'Why not! Just pick up that end and carry him inside!' Frank said angrily.
'I can't, unless you want to work with my lunch all over him,' Izzy said. Frank thought about it for a second and paled.
'Get lost then,' he snapped. Izzy happily complied. She ran off to the Swamp, and watched people through the canvas. Radar was running around, making sure they hadn't missed anyone. He spotted her, or at least seemed to sense her watching him, and went over.
'Why aren't you helping?' he asked kindly.
'I can't stand the blood. I'm sick every time I try to help,' Izzy explained. Radar nodded knowingly.
'Come on, you can help me in my office,' he said. Izzy nodded and followed Radar. From where they were, they could here the noise from OR.
'What do you want me to do?' Izzy asked. Radar gave her a pile of papers to sort, and left to make sure everyone was doing alright in OR.

Izzy was in Post Op, helping BJ keep an eye on some critical patients. Hawkeye had left for Tokyo for five days requested R and R that morning, and already Izzy missed his jokes and pranks.
'BJ,' Radar came into the post op ward, looking nervous. 'The Colonel wants to see you in his office now.'
'What is it?' BJ asked.
'He wouldn't tell me,' Radar replied.
'Should I come?' Izzy asked.
'No, it's just for the senior officers,' Radar said. He waited until BJ had left, then beckoned Izzy over. 'You can listen at the door with me,' he said.
'No, it's all right, BJ will tell me when he gets back,' Izzy said. She went over to one of the patients she'd been talking to.
Radar came back into the Post Op ward ten minutes later, looking pale.
'Radar? What's wrong?' Izzy asked, worried. BJ came back, and it looked like he'd been crying. 'BJ?' Izzy was scared now.
'A jeep, heading to Tokyo, was hit by a bomb. There was one man in that jeep, unidentified, but they think it's Hawkeye,' BJ said, half choking on his words. Izzy was stunned for a minute, and she sat down on the nearest empty cot.
'What? No,' she whispered before bursting into tears. BJ went over to her and comforted her, while she just sat there and cried into his chest.

Ok, before you abandon me for killing Hawkeye, remember, I did promise the story would become more exciting. Please stick with me until I replace Hawkeye, ok?
'What do you want me to do?' she asked Hawkeye.
