Elmer walked through the battered corridors looking for a doctor whilst Louis reached for his pager. When Elmer rounded the corner, he almost bumped into Dr Gupter and Elmer smiled with relief.
"I need your help." He told Gupter with anxiety edging onto his face.

Elmer dragged Gupter back to Louis office, but was shocked to see Dr Stegman leaning over Lona's body.

"Wh-What's going on?" Elmer stuttered and his dad looked at him.

"I'm sorry Elmer, but steg is the best doc that's still here. I couldn't get hold of hook." Louis answered, giving his son some sympathy.

"But dad, you sent me to get a doctor!" Elmer exclaimed his head spinning and his world shattering.

"Son, we don't have time for this, either jump in and help or go and sit outside." Louis ordered and Elmer felt the anger building up in him. He felt the adrenalin rush through his body and he left the room in anger, punching the outside wall with such force he made his knuckles bleed, leaving Gupter silent and unsure of what to say.

"He knew I didn't want that monster near her!" Elmer gritted his teeth angrily, much like he did when he was told his mother had died.

Chris had only just pulled the door shut when Hook pushed her onto the floor and the fire ball hit , rocking the building worse than any earthquake.

Elmer looked up from the floor as the ground shook violently.

"An earthquake?" Gupter asked, placing a hand on Elmer's shoulder.

"I don't know." Elmer asked in sharp tone. "How am I supposed to know everything?!"

"Elmer, I am just trying to occupy your mind, I only asked because, well because it didn't feel like one." Gupter answered and Elmer looked solemnly at him.

"I know, I'm sorry, it's just so frustrating." Elmer bit his lip to stop any sobs that would erupt and Gupter stood forward.

"I know its ok. I've had worse, I work in surgery with Ste-" He began but stopped.

Hook looked around as Chris began to hyperventilate; they were trapped, fire had closed off all their exits and she was more scared than she had ever been.

"We're gonna die!" She suddenly announced tilting her head to one side.

"No we're not!" hook exclaimed, trying to fill them both with reassurance but he wasn't doing that very well. Slowly she slid to the floor, holding her head and sobbing loudly, causing him to look at her.

"For god's sake Chris, we are not gonna die and I need your help right now!" He snapped at her and she looked up. She looked at him through her teary vision, noticing the concern on his face so she stood up and leant against one of the wooden panels that the hospital committee called a wall. She began to pull herself together just as the wooden panel began to splinter, falling into a box like room and pulling her with it.

When Hook could see through the dust clear enough, he saw she had fallen into a small dusty room and was lying on top of the wooden panel, her eyes closed.

"You ok?" he called but he got no answer. "Chris?"

Still no answer so he began to step over the rubble to get a closer look at her. When he reached her, she was bundled up in a ball, her eyes still firmly shut but her arms wrapped tightly around her body. Slowly, he began to pry her arms open and lifted her body into his arms and she laid her head on his shoulder, opening her eyes slightly.

"I think we just found our way out." Hook told her as she began to cough.

Elmer looked from one end of the empty corridor to the other end, his anger subsiding and a new emotion had entered; an emotion he felt when his mother had died of a cardiac arrest, when his brother had committed suicide by jumping off of the hospital roof. Pain and torment that was what he was feeling. Faced with losing Lona brought up a tormented emotion in him and he didn't like that feeling, he didn't like the thought of losing Lona. He had to do something.
