'Big load of wounded, coming in, folks,' the PA crackled.
'Does this mean I win our bet?' Dani asked Hawkeye as Radar ran from the tent.
'NO!' Alex growled, slapping her outstretched hand. 'Come on, we have to go help.' Alex pulled Dani from the tent, and ran to the landing pad. The choppers were just landing when they got there. Hawkeye and BJ arrived a few minutes later.
'Alex, come help me with this guy. Dani, go with BJ,' Hawkeye instructed. Alex helped Hawkeye put the guy on a stretcher and take him to a waiting jeep. They picked up another two men, and took them back down to camp. Alex got out of the jeep and looked around for Dani. Her sister was coming down in another jeep beside BJ, with another three wounded on it, looking very pale.
'You ok?' Alex asked, realizing that her sister wasn't coping very well. Dani nodded any way, and started to help BJ with the first injured man in the back. Everyone scrubbed up quickly, and within fifteen minutes, the doctors and nurses of the 4077th MASH were elbow deep in someone's insides.
'How's everyone going?' Potter asked.
'Great. This guy has enough metal in him to make a handy paperweight, for a twenty foot piece of paper,' Hawkeye replied.
'Would you shut up! I'm doing something very difficult over here!' Frank snapped.
'Trying to hold the knife up the right way again, right Frank?' BJ asked. Alex glanced up to wink at Hawkeye, but then noticed her sister.
'Dani?' she asked. BJ looked up, as the nurse was working at his table. 'Dani, are you ok?' Alex asked again. Dani shook her head and ran out.
'Need another nurse!' BJ yelled to Margaret.
'This seems familiar,' Hawkeye said.
'Yeah, I remember I ran out of surgery sick once. That was the last thing I heard when I ran out that door,' Alex said, mopping Hawkeye's sweaty brow. 'Danielle never had the stomach to become a nurse, or a vet. But she insisted. Had to follow my footsteps.' Alex paused. 'Isaac convinced her to be somewhat different to me, but encouraged her to complete her nursing course. He died a month before she did finished, and never got to see her graduate.'
'Well, she shouldn't be out here, if she can't take the heat!' Frank snapped.
'Margaret, how come I'm not allowed near your nurses, but Frank is allowed to insult them behind their backs? Or to their fronts?' Hawkeye asked. Margaret ignored him.
