Carter entered the lounge which was dark and silent. He made his way over to the couch beside the lockers and sat down. He removed his stethoscope and laid it across the arm of the furnishing. He leaned his head back letting it fall slowly as he brought his hands up to massage his neck.
A noise from the far corner by the refrigerator caused him to snap his head up and survey the dark room. Without light he was unable to make out anything. After a few moments had gone by without another sound Carter began to relax again. He listened to the sirens outside and watched the lights stream through the room then disappear again.
Carter closed his eyes and thought back through everything he had gone through. He pictured Lucy in his mind and wondered what she would be like as a doctor. His mind travels and gets stuck on the image of Lucy lying on the floor. It took him a while but he pulled himself back to reality. He blinked his eyes opened and sat in the darkness waiting for Mark to enter.
Mark walked casually into the room wondering why the lights were out. "Carter, you in here?" he said not exactly expecting an answer.
"Yeah I am on the couch" Mark moved to turn on the light and as the florescent light engulfed the room carter shielded his eyes "You know you should warn people before turning on a light" he lowered his arm as his eyes adjusted to the light. "So Dr. Greene what did you want to talk to me about?" he asked as he watched Mark pour himself a cup of coffee.
"Hey you want a cup?" Mark asked while motioning to the coffee maker. Carter shook his head. Mark sat down beside Carter and placed his drink in front of him on the coffee table. "I just want to make sure that you don't push to hard carter, you are a really determined person and I admire that but if you are in pain take a break none of us will think any less of you, you are a great doctor and we don't want you to strain yourself, we are all worried about you and want to make sure that you are ok" Carter smiled at the humbling remarks.
"I know, I am sorry if I have been well secretive lately I don't mean to be its just easier not to get too many people involved. I am really thankful for all of your help and I understand what your saying, I do realize that when I came back last time I pushed myself to hard and almost didn't make it, but I promise you that I am taking it easier this time around, I am managing my pain and soon not now of course I will be able to get back to normal, but until then I'm ok with getting help even if I don't seem so receptive to it I am thankful for all of it" Carter watched Mark's expression loosen up. Mark and carter sat in silence for a moment, but it was short lived when Dave stuck his head in "We have a multiple gunshot victim ETA five minutes"
Mark and Carter started to get up, but mark stopped Carter "Take some more time I can handle it" Carter smiled and replied jokingly "well if your sure you are ready for it that by all means" Mark smiled and exited the room leaving Carter alone with his thoughts again.
Carter stood up and stretched his back he moved towards the door to turn out the lights. When it swung inwards colliding with Carter and sending him falling into a chair by the table, he hit the ground with his legs up over the chair. He went to lift his head up to get a view of the person standing by the door when the lights were switched off plunging the room into darkness. Carter tried to get up but pure pain rushed through in the attempt. He turned onto his side and listened to the footsteps slowly moving towards him.
He felt the cold edge of the knife as it slashed across his leg causing him to yelp out in pain and in doing so the stranger in the room buckled down to his knees and covered carters mouth with duct tape. He sat up and laughed for a moment before speaking. "Remember this doc"
Carter felt his heart beating in his chest. His mind ran in circles 'how could it be he is in jail? This isn't possible why? Is it actually Jay or is this a bad dream of torment and pain' the man Carter recognized as Jay got up briskly and licked the two doors to the lounge. Then his voice rang in Carter's head again "Just you and me doc, we really have to stop meeting like this" he walked around carter who lay still on the cold floor unsure of what was happening around him.
Jay lifted Carter up and forced him into the corner. Pain surged through Carter's body with every move. Carter lifted his hand to remove the tape, but his action was paused when Jay kneeled in front of him "Do you really want to do that doc? I mean is it worth that much doc?"
Carter looked Jay over for a moment and kept his fingers tightly griped on the corner of the tape. With one swift pull Carter removed the tape. "Don't call me doc Mr. Drake" His voice ridiculed Jay and frightened him for a moment.
Carter rolled the tape into a ball in his hand as he waited for Jay to make the next move. Carter felt fearless he just sat there planning his escape. Jay showed Carter the knife hoping to awaken fear, but Carter didn't show any signs of emotion his eyes pierced through Jay like a dagger.
"Nice act doc, so you're not scared right? Well does that mean you can't fell anything?" Jay voice trembled slightly He grasped carters arm and ran the knife slowly across his wrist. Carter didn't move he was determined to win. Carter quickly raised his other hand snatching the knife away from Jay.
A knock interrupted the tension. "Hey is anybody in there?" Marks voice rang out through the room. Mark was talking to someone on the other side of the door. The other man knocked as well "Hey if you're in there just open the door" Benton asked.
Carter found his opportunity "Yeah I am in here with Mr. Drake and I could use a little help" Jay's eyes widened with anger and he pulled out a gun and held it up to the ceiling and shot to warning shots.
Note- All for now I will post the next chapter tomorrow, so until then read, review, and enjoy. Have a great day! ;-)
