'What did you need to talk to me about?' Alex asked the Colonel. He had
finally called for Alex during the night's movie. 'It's about Klinger,
right? I know, I talk to him, I know him best, and you're right, he's not
crazy, but don't tell him I said that because. . . it's not about Klinger,
is it?' Alex said. Potter shook his head.
'Sit down, Alexia,' Potter said.
'Alex,' Alex said automatically. 'Sorry,' she said when she realised she had just corrected him.
'I need to talk to you about Hawkeye and Dani,' Potter said. Alex left Potter's office fifteen minutes later, in a daze. Her suspicions that she had shared with BJ before were true? She walked around, and went into the supply room. Hawkeye and Dani were there, Hawkeye leaning over her sister carefully.
'How could you?' Alex yelled and she ran out. Both Hawkeye and Dani jumped and saw Alex running away.
'Oh no,' Hawkeye said.
'I'll go find her,' Dani offered, going out the door after Alex. She looked around frantically. Where could she be?
**~~*~~*~~*~~**
Alex was in the Swamp, drinking martini's quickly, hoping the alcohol would help her make her forget she had a sister. The gin was starting to effect, three martini's and ten minutes later. The glass slipped out of her hand, spilling gin and smashing the glass. Alex bent down to pick up the pieces. Suddenly, she realised the glass she was picking up was cutting into her fingers, and was spilling out blood. Alex swore and dropped the glass shards, and left the Swamp to go to the operating room.
**~~*~~*~~*~~**
Dani spotted Alex stumbling away from the tent, and ran to catch up to her.
'Alex,' she said.
'Go away,' Alex slurred. 'How could you keep it from everyone?'
'BJ knew,' Dani started, but it was the wrong thing to say.
'He was in on it?' Alex began crying heavily. She tripped on a rock. She fell on the ground, and Dani helped her up.
'Your hands are all cut up!' Dani said, almost fearfully.
'What do you care?' Alex asked before pulling away and going into the operating tent. Dani followed her and found her trying to wrap a bandage around her hands clumsily. Dani took the bandage from her, and fixed it up.
**~~*~~*~~*~~**
'Pierce, Hunnicutt, Dustin and Dustin, you four go get a jeep. They need help at the 8063rd,' Potter said, coming up to the table. Hawkeye, BJ and Dani got up quickly, but Alex glanced between Klinger beside her and the three standing up.
'Do I have to go? Maybe someone could fill in for me,' she suggested.
'No,' Potter said firmly. 'I want you four there, not anyone else.' Alex sighed and also stood up. She followed Hawkeye, BJ and Dani outside, who were all laughing at something, and got into the jeep that Radar had just brought around. She got into the back as Hawkeye and BJ bickered over who would drive. BJ eventually won, and Hawkeye got in the back with Alex, allowing Dani to sit in the front. The nurse refused to talk, remembering the hurt feeling she had when she found out Hawkeye was cheating on her with Dani. It would have been different if he had told her. BJ at least could have told her it was going on, if he knew. The silence from Alex didn't worry BJ, Hawkeye and Dani, who continued talking loudly, and almost forgetting she was there. Suddenly, there was an explosion on the road, and BJ stopped the jeep.
'Get off the road!' he yelled. There was a mad scramble to get out of the jeep, and Alex suddenly realised that although she could see BJ and Hawkeye, she couldn't find her sister.
'Where's Dani?' Alex yelled to Hawkeye.
'I don't know. Come on,' Hawkeye yelled back. He went over to her, and began leading her away to where an abandoned fox hole lay. It were overgrown with grass, and crumbly in some places.
'I'll look for Dani,' Hawkeye said as he helped Alex down.
'Because you like her?' Alex spat. The warm feeling she was getting from Hawkeye helping her suddenly faded and was replaced by anger.
'No, because I love you,' Hawkeye replied before disappearing. Alex was speechless for a couple of seconds as BJ blundered into the fox hole.
'Where are the other two?' he asked.
'Hawkeye went looking for Dani,' Alex replied, still a little dazed. BJ swore, and made to climb out of the fox hole. Alex pulled him back.
'What are you doing? They could be hurt!' BJ said over the explosions.
'They'll be alright,' Alex said, not really believing it herself. Suddenly, out of the flying dust, she could see Hawkeye helping Dani along. He half threw the younger girl into the fox hole on top of BJ and jumped in himself as a bomb narrowly missed them.
'She's been hit,' Hawkeye panted. Alex suddenly whipped around, and went to Dani, who was being helped into a lying position by BJ. Her shirt was soaked with blood, and she was groaning, holding her arm. Blood was coming from a gash in her head, the cut on her arm, and a little bit of watery blood was coming out of the corner of her mouth.
'Dani, talk to me!' Alex found she was crying as she shook her sister.
'Alex, stop,' BJ tried to pull her away gently, but Alex shrugged him off.
'Dani! You are going to survive, don't you even think about dying!' Alex said, tears falling onto the younger nurse. Hawkeye grabbed Alex by the shoulders and ripped her away roughly. Alex turned and started crying into Hawkeye's chest.
'Sit down, Alexia,' Potter said.
'Alex,' Alex said automatically. 'Sorry,' she said when she realised she had just corrected him.
'I need to talk to you about Hawkeye and Dani,' Potter said. Alex left Potter's office fifteen minutes later, in a daze. Her suspicions that she had shared with BJ before were true?
