Kerry marched up to the admit desk, a piece of paper scrunched slightly in her hand, muttering to herself angrily.
"Honestly, is it too much to ask for some information? I'm supposed to be running the ER, I'd like to know where my doctors are." She ripped up the receiver off the phone angrily and punched in Pratt's telephone number with such ferocity, that it caused a small cover nurse to squeak in alarm as she passed.
Kerry let the phone ring for a while before slamming the receiver back in its bracket, scratching off Pratt's name from the piece of paper.
"Where the hell are they?" She muttered.
"Where the hell are who?" Asked Chuny, tidying the charts.
"The people who went to the convention. I got a call yesterday from Dr Chen, saying they'd have to take a later flight because of the weather conditions, so I could arrange cover for today. But their plane should have got in early this morning."
"Maybe they were delayed again?" Kerry shook her head.
"Dr Chen told me that if they were delayed again someone would call. I wouldn't mind, except Carter and Susan are supposed to be working tomorrow."
"Uh, Dr Weaver, I think there's something on the TV you should see." Chuny and Kerry looked over at Frank who was pointing up at the screen suspended from the ceiling.
"Turn it up will you?" Asked Kerry as she walked closer to the TV, confusion on her face. There was text scrolling across the bottom reading; Plane Disappears off the Coast of ...
A female voice was speaking over a picture of a flight path. "The plane, carrying passengers back from a medical convention at a hotel, lost contact an hour and a half into the journey. It is unknown how far the plane travelled after it lost contact, making the search area stretch for hundreds of miles..." Kerry felt the colour draining from her face.
"I'll be in my office."

Just a short chapter I'm afraid. Thanks to everyone who's reviewed!
