The Longest Day
Part 11
Note- This may just be the end of the story, but you never know.
Jay pushed forward at Carter, Carter quickly pulled out the gun and "Bang" The blow didn't stop Jay's forward movement as the knife struck Carter through his stomach. Blood surrounded both men.
Benton and the police waiting outside burst into the room.
Benton rushed over to Carter who was still alert as a paramedic took control of Jay. Jay was conscious as well but the pain in his side caused him to give up his fight.
Carter looked on as they wheeled Jay out of the room and he was left there with Benton and a few cops. "Hey Dr. Benton, how bad does it look" Carter said seemingly unfazed by his injuries.
"It will be ok" he said worried for his friend, they placed Carter on a gurney and took him out to the ambulance. Carter laid on the gurney replaying the events of the past few days. He watched the paramedics and Benton work on him.
They arrived at County and an all too familiar feeling was felt throughout the people. They were all happy to see that Carter was alert and talking.
They rushed him to trauma room 1 and worked to repair the damage before sending him up to the OR for internal bleeding. On his way up to surgery he drifted off for only a moment. He could hear Benton "He's coding charge to 100...clear..." that's all it took and he was back fighting to stay awake.
He laid in the OR waiting for the next step as Benton came in "It's over now man" Carter looked deep into Benton's eyes and said "Its always over until it begins" then he was out. Throughout the surgery Benton replayed those words finding there meaning both disturbing and comforting at the same time.
Carter came out of surgery a few hours later. When he awoke he was surrounded by doctors, nurses, and a few policemen.
Once extubated, Carter thanked everyone.
Agent Kennedy stood by the railing "Sorry, we couldn't do more for you Dr. Carter but Jay and his pals are behind bars and you are safe" he paused for a moment as Benton stepped beside him. "How are you feeling Carter?"
Carter said with a raspy voice "I feel like it has all been just one long day" with that he drifted off to sleep as the room emptied. Benton stayed with Carter through the night. It was finally over he thought to himself.
Carter returned to work a few weeks later after some intensive care and physical therapy. "Hey Carter welcome back" Mark said while grabbing some charts. "Good to be back" Carter answered. He looked around at all the patients and the chaos of the ER "Looks like its going to be a long day"
Note- It is up to you the reviewers if I continue this story or if this is how it ends. If you want more to happen then I would be pleased to extend this story and fill it full of as much angst as humanly possible or I can start another story maybe more angst or humor whatever works, but it is all up to you I could also move on and just come back with a sequel to this story whatever you guys want. Have a nice day and I look forward to your choice.
