The Longest Day Part 17

Note- Not a long one sorry but I am sure that all of you readers will survive until my next update and I am sorry for the wait too so read on and whatever. Thanks for all of the cool reviews I have received so far.

Carter reached for the fallen gun as pain surged through out his body and a sharp pain engulfed his back. Jay pushed Carter over revealing his blood stained clothes. Jay fumbled to his feet after retrieving the gun. Carter held his hand to his side where the knife remained buried deep in his flesh.

Jay quickly took off at a run to escape from the policemen who were now chasing after him.

Benton and Mark ran over to Carter's side to asses the injuries as the rest of the staff just stood around watching in shock as carter closed his eyes against the pain and they remained closed.

"Carter can you here me man?" Peter asked praying for any sign of movement. He could hear Mark calling for a gurney but everything seemed to be in slow motion. Peter stared down at the pale face of his friend as he began chest compressions.

Time sped up and it seemed like time was elapsing. Between the beats of Peter's heart he was out of the hallway and in the trauma room shocking Carter back to a normal sinus rhythm.

He looked up for a moment and Carter was being wheeled away from him to go up to the OR. As he followed the gurney to the elevator he watched as another trauma patient wheeled in.

The doors to the elevator closed and Mark felt a familiar feeling causing chills to run up his spine. A nurse ran up to him "We need help in trauma two man hit by a car just outside" Mark followed the nurse into the awaiting trauma.

He walked in to the silent room only hearing the beeps of the monitors. He tried to focus on his job to save the patient. He moved over to the head of the gurney and stared down into the eyes of the victim.

Mark felt his heart rate speed up as here examined a badly bruised man with fear in his eyes. After ten minutes of recording stats to find that the patient would be ok mark walked out of the room to find agent Kennedy and two other policemen waiting to talk to him.

"How is Dr. Carter doing?" Kennedy asked "And how's he?" he questioned motioning to the patient in trauma two.

"I don't know how Carter is as of yet and that son of a bitch in there will recover fine, but we will have to watch him for a few hours to rule out internal bleeding. Can one of you explain to me what happened?" Marks anger clearly showed as he said his last word.

Agent Kennedy asked to the men beside him to stay in trauma two. "Well Dr. Greene we are still looking into why he wasn't brought up to a more secure ward, I am sorry for what has happened" he looked solemnly at Mark "Me and the bureau would like to know how it all works out and stay informed on Dr. Carter's condition. And we will post a few guards throughout the hospital for a few days just in case. I'm so sorry" he repeated as he walked into the trauma room.

Mark began to walk back to the admit desk to find out about Carter's status. The world around him seemed sad as he watched the looks on the staff's faces when he picked up the phone to ask about Carter.

Moments later Mark hung up the phone and ran for the stairs as he climbed them at a brisk pace till he reached the OR and stopped outside a widow revealing Dr. Benton and Corday using internal paddles to shock Carter and they got no response.

Peter yelled to the nurses to charge to sixty "clear... come on Carter man stay with me damn it charge to sixty-five... clear..." Peter looked up at Dr. Corday as she stared on in horror. Silence broke throughout the room.

...beep...beep... The two surgeons looked down at their patient and continue repairing his injuries. Peter looked up and saw Mark standing outside of the room with his face pale and tired. Mark just watched them work on his friend.

Carter was in surgery for four and a half hours repairing the damage when Dr. Ramono decided to join the team. "So what have we got, it just seems that Dr. Carter can't catch a break" this remark made Peter shake his head in disgust for the comment and situation. "What a mess you two have made, good thing that I am here to clean it up" Ramona moved next to Peter and watched him work void of emotion. "Peter why don't you scrub out you are tired and it would be best for Dr. Carter" Peter didn't look up but ran the idea through his mind.

As he finished repairing Carter's spleen he moved to release the clamps and Ramono re-expressed his concern and this time Peter looked at him "I am staying with him until I am satisfied that he is ok and if you have a problem with that then its to bad you can either help us or leave" Ramono reacted quickly to Peter's words moving around to help Elizabeth.

Mark didn't move from his spot by the window and the staff that passed him by didn't even try to persuade him to take a seat. He watched as his friends worked to save one of their own.

Peter worked cautiously so as not to miss anything. His mind wondered how much pain his friend would be in after this and if his suffering was soon to end.

Note- That is all for now so review and maybe I will update tomorrow but if you don't I still might update tomorrow.
