Author's Notice: I'm no Doctor so I may be wrong about some medical terms. I hope you enjoy reading it.

"Abby why don't you have a seat." Dr Legapsi offered.

Abby smiled and took a seat.

"How do you feel now?" Dr Legapsi asked.

"Better. I think they've gone now." Abby replied.

"That's good to hear."

Abby relaxed into her chair feeling sleepy. Her arm was starting to hurt again. She fought back the pain as Kim started talking again.

"I want to start you on some medication for your insomnia. What do you think?"

"I don't know. I don't…." Abby started to sob.

"Hey Abby its okay. Shhh." Kim came over and placed her hand on Abby's shoulder.

"I hurt." Abby admitted.

"Where do you hurt?" Kim wasn't sure if Abby hurt physically or emotionally.

"My arm. The pain's come back!" Abby cried.

"Okay. Lets get you back to bed and on some morphine. You look very tired."

Abby nodded.

"Will you be okay down there?" Kim asked her.

"Yeah."

"Good come on them." Kim put her arm around Abby and helped her back to her room.

"How's she doing?" Susan asked Kim outside Abby's room.

"She's a lot calmer at the moment however I would like her to be put on this medication to help with her insomnia. Also if she starts to experience any nightmares give her one of these and that will help her."

"Thanks. I will do."

Kim smiled and walked away.

Susan went into the room where Abby was sitting in her bed, her bad arm propped up by some pillows.

"Hey Abby. Has the pain gone yet?" Susan asked her.

Abby nodded.

"I can't feel it now. Thanks."

"That's okay." Susan replied, smiling.

"Do you think the men will come back?" Abby asked, scared again.

"Not with these." Susan grinned.

"What are those?" Abby asked.

"These are to help you stop seeing those men and these are in case you have a nightmare."

"No!" Abby shouted "I don't want to take them. If the men don't come I'll never find out what happened to me."

"Abby you were freaked out because the men showed up. I've seen how you've reacted and I…I don't want you to hurt yourself."

"I guess your right." Abby sighed.

"How about I get you some food. You must be starving."

Abby smiled.

"Yeah I am kind of hungry I guess."

Abby was thrashing about in bed, her whole face covered in a blanket of sweat. The dream had started out fine and then had turned into a horrible nightmare. Abby could see smoke. Lots of it and a man screaming. She was being ordered into a car by a group of men who were holding her arm and not letting go. Abby squirmed in her bed and started to get agitated. She started to rip the stitches that were in her arm, trying in her dream to get the men off her. Suddenly her eyes flashed open and she looked over at her arm which was turning red as a bit off blood seeped through where the stitches had now been removed. She breathed a sign of relief that the nightmare was over. Why were the men forcing her into the car she thought? She started to panic about her arm so she thought she would go find Carter or Susan so they could take a look at it. She made her way out into the hallway and tried to find them but she couldn't. She ended up in the bathroom and taking the sling off ran it under cold water. The red blood flowed down the drain. She wasn't really thinking straight and felt dizzy from standing up to long. Suddenly she felt something land on her arm. She jumped back in alarm when she noticed she had knocked over some bleach onto her arm. Her whole arm turned red and she knew it would get infected. She felt dizzy again. She had really hit her head in the accidemt and she had to steady herself on the sink. She made her way outside and walked back towards her room when Carter caught sight of her.

"Abby." He called "What are you doing out of bed?" he asked her.

She started to cry and Carter pulled her into a hug. When he pulled away he noticed her arm was bleeding.

"God Abby what happened?"

Abby burst out into tears.

"I had a nightmare. The men had my arm and were forcing me into a car. I woke up and found my stitches had come out. I tried to find you and tell you what happened but I couldn't. I tried to wash it in the toilets but got so dizzy I spilt bleach on it."

"Oh Abby." Carter said. "Lets get you back to bed and I can take a look at it."

Abby cried all the way back to her bed.

"Its starting to look infected." Carter observed. "I'm going to have to flush it out and also do some blood work."

Abby pulled back.

"No injections! I hate injections." She sobbed into her hands.

"I need to check for infection Abby. Next time something like this happens I want you to come find me or Susan or another Doctor. Okay?"

Abby nodded "Okay."

Carter smiled satisfied and went to get a needle. He returned at sat it down next to Abby. Abby looked away already scared.

"Its going to be alright. You'll just feel a prick and then it will be soon over."

Abby nodded and Carter removed some of Abby's blood. Abby sat there flinching and moaning.

"There all done. Good girl."

Abby wiped away her tears.

"Now I want you to take one of these tablets for your insomnia and one for your nightmares. It will help."

"I'm scared." Abby started "I want those men to go away but if they do I won't be able to remember what happened to me."

"Abby the accident is not important anymore. What's important is your health. Its important to get you better. You need to remember about yourself, your job. How will you live if you don't remember anything?"

"My memory will come back. I can't stay on medication for ever. Those men won't go away. The accident won't just disappear and I'll pretend it didn't happen. The accident was real, Carter."

"I know Abby and we're trying our best to help you get through the after shock."

Abby looked Carter in the eyes.

"I know you are. I know you are. Its. Its just I'm so scared."
