Too Far

CH.2

By: TLH --

The three surgeons ran after the young corporal and arrived at Frank's bedside.

Hawkeye stopped dead in his tracks as he saw the look on Franks face like he'd seen on so many others faces.

Hawkeye swung next to Margaret and began to bang on his chest. "Trapper get on the other side, start ventilating him."

Henry stood by in shock. The rest in the corridor doing the same.

Trapper grabbed Hawkeye's arms to stop them. "He's gone Hawk, there's no way to bring him back now."

"What are you talking about? Its only been a minute! Not even."

"There's more damages than that. We can't open him up again. He's…"

Hawkeye stepped back from the bed and almost fell as he reached the bed behind him. "This isn't…he can't…holy…"

Margaret now stood, her face buried in Henry's chest. "Radar…"

"I'll take care of it sir."

Post op was silent. The occasion whimper from Margaret was the only thing that broke the silence.

Hawkeye couldn't say a word. Trapper made his way around the bed, and slipped his arm around Hawkeye's back. "Let's go to the SWAMP."

Hawkeye nodded, his eyes still fixated on Franks face. Trapper noticing, took the sheet and covered his face. "It's over Hawk. Let's go…come on." He could barely move his friend, but after a moment, he finally began to walk towards the door.

Margaret still noticeably crying, finally lifted her head to watch them leave. "It's your fault you know that!!? It's all your fault!!"

Hawkeye and Trapper both looked back quickly, Hawkeye wanting to say something in their defense but couldn't.

"Why couldn't you just leave him alone!!? Now look what you've done! You…murderers!" Finally, Henry managed to pull her away and towards his office. But the damage had already been done.

Trapper and Hawkeye stood and watched as Henry yanked her away, and with another glance at Frank's body, they headed for the SWAMP.
