Ch. 3 Prognosis

Sam had finished his preliminary assessment and stood up. He instructed Bling

to finish cleaning the various abrasions on Max's face and bandage them. He

them motioned to Logan,

"Logan, step with me, please." He walked out of Logan's bedroom and waited for

Logan to follow him.

"Well, it's not as bad as it looked, I didn't find any signs of broken bones,

though she may have a few bruised ribs. However, the fact the she is still

unconscious, is not good. There is also the bleeding, judging from the flow of

the blood, it may be vaginal. I'm going to have to examine her. You may not

want to be in there when I do. But that is your choice, and if she wakes up during

this procedure, it may be good if you are with her. I'm going to wash up and get my

equipment ready, you can go back in with Max and Bling now."

"Thanks Sam, I'll be in with Max." Logan turned and walked back into his bedroom.

Bling had washed off most of the blood, and was disinfecting the cuts. As he wiped her

face with the swab, Max groaned, her eyelashes fluttering.

"Max, oh god Max, it's Logan, can you hear me" Max's eyes opened slowly and focused

directly on Logan's face.

"Logan, is it really you, did I make it out?" Max's voice was uncertain and afraid.

"Max, yes, you're here, in my apartment. I . ." Logan's voice trailed off as his blue

eyes misted. He reached for her hand and she grabbed it, as she broke down in tears.

The door to the bedroom opened and Sam stepped in, gloved up and ready for the procedure

"Max, I'm glad you are awake. I'm Sam Carr, the doctor, remember me?" He looked at Max's

She nodded slowly, memories coming back. "Good, now I have to check you out, you are

bleeding and I need to treat you, Ok?" Max nodded, but looked apprehensive at the

speculum in his hand.

"Max, this should not hurt, I need you to relax, and try not to tense up. Just take a

deep breath, and close your eyes if you want to" Max looked at Logan's face instead,

trying not to wince as he slid the speculum gently, but firmly into place. Max grimaced,

squeezed Logan's hand, as he looked at her.

"Max, that night, there was something I wanted to tell you, but we didn't get the chance.

I, I love you, please don't leave me ever again, I don't think I could take it. Max's

eyes welled up,

"Logan, I love you, too,and I tried to tell you that night, but I blacked out before I

AH! That hurt!"

"Sorry Max, it looks like there are some tears, I'm going to have to stitch them up."

"Just do it, and quick." Max's voice was ragged with pain.
