Stained Red Chapter 3

Note- Thanks for the awesome reviews all of you rock so read on and review. :-)

Deep red blood dripped from the corner of Carter's mouth as he fell to his side with Mark trying to lay him out on the floor. Mark looked at Carter confused and afraid "Carter stay with me ..." Mark turned his head towards the trauma room doors "I need some help in here" He yelled. Susan entered the room.

"What do you need Mark?" she asked unaware of Carter's situation.

Mark never looked away from Carter as he noticed that there was more blood then before on Carter's lab coat. "It's Carter" he said while continuing his inspection.

Susan knelt down beside Mark to help him "What happened Mark?" she asked as a tear escaped eye. Mark just shook his head.

"I don't know I found him in here a few minutes ago" Mark removed Carter's lab coat and found a slice in his clothing. "What the hell?" he said. He looked at Carter's pale face "Carter are you still with us?" he asked. Carter nodded his head slightly then raised his head off of the ground to see what was happening. "Carter don't move" Mark stated while moving his head gently back to the floor.

Susan was still in shock of the situation "Ummm... I'll get the back board" with that she left the room in search of more help.

Mark tried to stop the bleeding and help Carter, but all he could think was 'how?'

...rewind a bit...

Carol entered the room "CT" is ready.

Carter moved to help roll Danny out "Ok lets move him he said" as they were moving Danny to the doors a sharp pain engulfed Carter's stomach then the pain spread throughout his body. He looked down in time to see Danny pull the knife back.

Carter stepped away from the gurney hoping someone had seen what had happened but they were all to busy rambling off stats and procedures to notice.

Everything seemed to slow down as he watched everyone leave him alone. He placed his hand over the wound then brought it out to reveal his own blood. He legs began to shake under him as he stepped back until colliding with the counter.

He looked down again to see more blood as he was hit by a wave of dizziness. He could fell himself sweating as he looked out the trauma room window into Mark's eyes. He wanted to yell for help but as he opened his mouth he found it hard to speak as only a slight whisper passed his lips.

The pain surrounded him causing the world to become black as he slid down the counter and came in contact with the cold hard floor.

He could hear Mark talking to him but it all seemed muffled. He strained to stay awake and speak if only just one word. "Help?" he asked hoping that that one word would be enough.

Carter tried to speak more but was met by a coughing fit that made his chest burn. He could fell himself falling as his body became hot in a flash then cold even quicker.

Note- Well now you know what happened, but you will have to wait until tomorrow for more so have a nice day and smile. ;-)
