Stained Red Chapter 10

Note- as if this could ever get old ... thanks for the cool reviews.

"What the hell?" Benton asked looking down the hall. Officer Kent came running down the hall. Just as the elevator doors were opening.

"Get in now!" He ordered literally pushing them in. he stood outside of the doors watching the hall. "There is a car out front for you, go now" The doors closed leaving the three men in shock.

The doors reopened in the lobby and from there Mark spotted the car that was waiting for them. They mobbed outside and a tall man looked at them "Dr. Greene and Benton?" he asked. Mark nodded. "Ok, I know about the situation upstairs and it is my job to take you to a safe location I am your driver, so if you please" he said motioning to the car then opening up the door.

The ride was silent and Carter was wondering what would happen next and how Officer Kent was. Carter drifted off to a light sleep leaning his head against the window. The car bounced with each bump it hit and when going around a curb the driver hit a pot hole causing Carter's head to slam against to window jolting him out of his sleep. "Damn it" he said as he pressed his palm to the side of his head.

Mark looked at Carter "Are you alright?"

Carter removed his hand from his head "Yeah just hit my head" Carter looked at his hand and saw the bright red blood from his injury. "Damn" he repeated while looking for a cloth.

Mark looked at Carter's hand then motioned for him to turn his head "Here" he said while passing him a handkerchief.

Benton was watching them from the front seat "Watch your driving" he said with a hint of anger. The driver didn't react he just continued down the road.

Only seconds later they were stopping in front of a small house on an unfamiliar street. "Well here we are" the driver said while putting the car in park.

They all went inside just as the phone began to ring. The driver answered it. "Hello...yes sir...yes...I will sir...yes...alright...where?...ok...in five...yes sir...bye" he hung up the phone. "Ok that was Officer Kent and he wants you all to know that everything is alright what happened today didn't involve you it was just a disgruntled patient. He wants me to explain some things to you, you are not to leave the house" he turned his attention to Benton "they set up the video phone over there" he pointed to some video equipment. "There is food and clothes for all of you and this phone is only for use to contact Officer Kent he will be checking in throughout your stay here. I have to go now and if you have any questions just contact Officer Kent and he will help you" The driver walked over to the door and opened it he was half way out when he turned around "Good luck" then he closed the door and was gone.

Mark made his way over to a box label 'MED' he opened it up and found a suture kit. He sat next to Carter on the couch and began to examine his cut and stitch it up. Carter didn't speak but his eyes would close as if he was drifting away but he would pull himself back to reality. "There you go Carter" Mark said as he stood up and removed his gloves. Carter's eyes were closed by the time Mark had finished. "Carter?" he asked. "Peter I think we should move him"

Benton got up and moved over to Carter's side. "Carter, wake up man" he looked at Mark "Mark when he hit his head did he loose consciousness?"

"No, I mean I don't think so he was fully alert" "Carter" Mark went into the kitchen and retrieved a wet cloth and when he returned he pressed it lightly to Carter's forehead.

Carter shook his head slightly and mumbled a bit. "Huh...what?"

Mark removed the cloth "Carter, are you ok?"

Carter opened his eyes and began to sit up "Yeah I am just tired that's all, Can I go to bed?"

"Sure you can" Benton said while helping him up. Mark and him practically had to carry Carter to the bedroom and as soon as he was in bed he was asleep.
