"The Diary of Dana Stowe" By: Dr.StoweWannabe27

Chapter Six- Broken Hearts

He instantly dropped her against the wall. Kilner made sure he looked normal and walked out of the room. He left the hospital and drove off at an alarming speed. The security guard who heard a gunshot came to investigate and found Dana's body lying against the wall with bloodstained clothes. He immediately ran to get a doctor who was walking down the hall. "Doctor come here it's an emergency!" The doctor ran into the room and saw Dana lying there. He instantly checked to see if she had a pulse, but she didn't. "It's too late." He said turning to look at the guard who obviously looked horrified. The guard called for doctors to bring a gurney and take away the body. Within minutes they arrived with the gurney and other security guards. One doctor, a friend of Nick's was helping out with the gurney and recognized the body as Nick's girlfriend from all the pictures he had of her. "Any identification on the body?" Asked one of the guards writing this down in a notebook for when the police arrived. "No, but I guess that is her bag over there." Said a doctor examining the room being careful not to damage anything.

The doctor that recognized Dana immediately ran to get Nick. He ran down the hallway knocking down a few things and pressed the button to the elevator rapidly. It was taking too long so he took the stairs. Down the four floors, his mind was racing, Oh Lord, what should I tell Nick. He reached the ER floor and ran straight into the ER. "Nick!" he yelled. "Nurse, where is Dr. Biancavilla?" he asked scaring the nurse. "He is with a patient, Dr. Morse. You can't see him right now." "Oh, yes I can." He said going straight into the exam room Nick was in. "Nick, Nick, You have to come. Now!" he said trying to catch his breath. "What? What are you talking about? Can't you see I am with a patient?" Nick said turning around curiously eyeing Dr. Morse. "It's Dana..." without another word Nick put down his instruments and paid attention to what Dr. Morse was saying. "She's hurt. Well more than hurt. Come follow me!" He said while he started walking out of the room.

Nick followed at a steady run. They ran up the stairs to the hallway where they saw a whole bunch of people standing in a crowd. They ran and ran getting closer. "Dana! Dana!" Nick yelled hoping to receive an answer from inside the crowd. None was heard. The ran into the crowd of people. "Get out of the way. Get out of the way!" The both doctors yelled. The policeman had put up a line so the curious spectators couldn't get in. When they got to the center of the crowd they couldn't see anything inside the room. They made sure no policemen were watching and crossed the line. A police man stopped them before they entered. "Where do you think you two are going?" "Please! I have to get in. My fiancée, she is in there!" Nick struggled with his words a bit wondering if what Dr. Morse had said meant Dana was dead. God he hoped not. They were to marry in a few months and hopefully have more children. The police man granted their entrance, which caused uproar in the crowd.

When Nick walked in and laid eyes on the body on the gurney, he couldn't deny that it was his beloved. Dr. Morse walked over to the doctors examining the body and asked them whether or not Nick could see the body of his dead girl friend. They said he could and walked away. Dr. Morse motioned for Nick to come over to the gurney. Nick looked at Dana's body and automatically broke into tears. "Why! Why! No!" He yelled leaning over the body attracting the attention of everyone in the room. He hugged the dead body and kissed it. He couldn't bear to see this any longer. He let go of the body. "Dana, I love you." He kissed the dead woman's lips and went to sit down in a chair before he collapsed. He cried and cried. A crime scene investigator felt sorry for him and walked over to him. "Hey, I'm so sorry for your loss. She looked special. But if it makes you feel any better we are going to find the killer. In fact, we already have our primary suspect, Randolph Kilner. And I also came to give you this. We found this in her purse. I guess it's a journal." The investigator said handing the small leather book to Nick. The investigator gave him a pat on the shoulder and went back to his job.

Nick wiped his eyes with his sleeve and picked up the Diary. "That horrible son of a bitch. I swear if he shows his face here again he will die." He stood up and got out of the room clutching the diary to his chest, protecting it with his life. He ran to the pay phone and dialed Lu at RWHC. "Hello RWHC" "Lana, put Lu on now please," "Nick, is that you? What's wrong honey?" ", just put Lu on please it's urgent." He said shaking. "Okay, okay, baby." There was a moment of silence when Lu picked up. "Hello, Lu speaking," "Lu, it's Nick...You have to come to MGH now...It's Dana...Please come now." "What's wrong? Okay, I'll call Clementine and tell her to stay later with Marc and the girls and I will be on my way." They hung up the phone together. "Lana, if any one comes in for me, tell them to come back another day, I going out." Lu said poking her head out the door. She went back and called Clementine to tell her to stay late and put all the kids to bed that she had a feeling she'd be sleeping over again. But no one answered the phone. She got her coat and purse and left. Nick sounded worried on the phone so she speeded down the highways to get there faster.

In deed she did. She ran in to the lobby looking around for Nick. "Lu, over here." Nick said walking over to her. She saw that Nick had been crying and felt her heart climb up into her throat. She walked over to him till they met. She hugged him, but neither would let go. "Nick, what happened?" She said still hugging him. "Lu....you might have...to sit down" Nick led her over to a group of empty chairs and they sat. "Lu...it's hard for me to tell you but....Dana....Dana...Dana has been murdered." He said starting to cry again. Lu sat there as if lightning had struck her. Her best friend, dead? She covered her face with her hands and cried. Nick hugged her and she hugged him back being each others support.

Lu lifted her head and asked, "Nick, have you seen her yet?" "Yes, Lu." "I want to see her Nick. I want to see her." "We can't right t now Lu, but in a little while we will be able to" They continued hugging for a while longer and then started walking toward the elevator to see if they were done with the autopsy Nick asked for. They arrived in front of the morgue and opened the door. "Excuse me, are you finished?" Nick asked in a nasal voice from all the congestion from crying. "No, Nick. Please wait outside. We will call you in when we are done." Said the doctor performing the autopsy. "They aren't done, Lu." They went back to the lobby in silence and sat next to each other.
