A/N: Short chapter, but it's this way for a reason.
Fear, Worry, Nightmare
Carter put his seat back in the upright position for landing. Almost home. There was just a few more minutes separating him from Chicago, from Abby. The flight had gone smooth and the time had flown fast. He listened as the captain's voice announced there imminent arrive at O'Hare. Then came the bump. He was jolted in his seat, another, turbulence, they had to have hit turbulence. He could see the lights of O'Hare below them now they were almost about to touch down on the runway. The plane hit hard as Carter was thrown forward by the jolt. He could feel them skidding sideway. "Oh god no." He said as he started to silently pray. He survived the Congo to make it almost home, to die in a plane crash...."you have got to be kidding me," he said as he tucked his head between his knees and prepared for the worst. The lights went out in the cabin. He could feel the plane rolling, once twice, it was like he was trapped in a nightmare that was never going to end. Carter felt the sticky warmth of blood trickling down the side of his face as his eyes closed...................
Abby walked into O'Hare, just a few more minutes and he would be here safe and sound with no worries. Fear filled her body when she heard over the PA system that the flight from London was delayed because of an accident. She could feel her entire body go numb as she listened for where family members of those on the flight were supposed to go. Her hands now started to shake and tremble. Why was this happening now we were so close to finally be able to put things back together? Dear lord let him be alright, please let him be alright, runs thru Abby's head. Her pager is now violently vibrating against her hip, yet she can't go back she has to stay there. She has to find a way to let them, let her go out onto the runway and help. Abby knows that she has to do something; if she sits here she was going to go crazy with worry. Abby opened her cell phone, calling them telling County and telling them that she was at the scene now. She walks, almost at a run, still numb, consumed with worry, fear, this was a nightmare for her, up to a security officer telling him that her that she was a doctor. He quickly grabbed her arm at took her over to where they are triaging people. God where he is? Where is John?
