Chapter 5- Just to Visit
Walking up the many stairs use to be an everyday thing she thought stepping into the clinic. She opened the door and found only a few people around.
"Wow, it's actually not busy for once," she muttered to herself.
She walked up to the reception desk and found no one there. After knocking on both offices and not getting an answer she decided to go to the ER where everyone must have been.
On the way Lana passed by swiftly. After a few seconds they both turned around.
"Lana?"
"Dr. Stowe?"
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Lana asked surprised to see her.
"I thought I would stop by because my parents took the girls to New York." Dana replied while leaning in to give Lana a hug.
"Oh, how fun."
"So where are Lu and the rest of the gang?"
Lana then realized she was one who had to tell Dana about what happened.
"Uh, Dr. Stowe. I think we should talk."
"Lana? What's going on?" Dana questioned sensing something was out of the ordinary.
"OK...this is not going to be easy," Lana whispered.
"Come on Lana, enough with the suspense." Dana remarked getting impatient.
"Well, yesterday when Lu went home to her apartment on of her mentally unstable patients Aniesha was in her house with a gun and..."
"A gun?" Dana interrupted.
"Yeh, and um she shot Lu in the stomach and now she is in a coma."
"Dear God, will she be OK? Is it serious?"
"Dr. Campbell is very hopeful that Lu will come out of the coma and will make a full recovery." Lana answered.
"Can I go see her?"
"Sure, it's room 274 upstairs. I'll be up there in a minute; I have to check on something."
"Thanks Lana."
Dana took the elevator up to Lu's room still shocked by what Lana told her. She got to room 274 and saw Mark and another man in there also. Dana stopped outside before coming in and pulled herself together.
"Dana? Is that you?"
Dana turned around.
"Hey, Nick. I've missed you."
"I've missed you too. So did you her about Lu?" Nick asked amazed to see her.
"No, I came to check on the clinic because my parents took the girls to New York for the week. I saw Lana downstairs and she told me what happened."
"Oh, you going in now?"
"Yeh."
Dana walked in followed by Nick. She walked in so quietly no one heard her. She touched Lu's hand and tears starred to well up in her eyes.
"Dr. Stowe? What are you doing here?" Mark asked.
"I wanted to see how your Mom was doing."
"I guess she is OK but still in a coma."
"Hi, I am Mickey. Lu's boyfriend."
"Nice to meet you. I am Lu's old partner." Dana said shaking his hand seeing the terror in his eyes.
A few minutes later Dr. Campbell walks in and takes Dana out in the hallway and catches her up on Lu's condition.
