Author's Note: I thought of this story in the middle of my Physics/ Chemistry class, and it's been a while... Excuse all errors, I don't have a beta. See author's question at the end for more. This story is also not time stamped, so if it confuses you, I'm sorry.

He found her lying on the floor. Pieces of her uniform littered the area around her. A blanket was modestly thrown over her unconscious body. She was breathing shallowly, and had a weak pulse. He had to help her.
He wasn't sure what he would find, but, this was his best friend... Throwing the thin blanket off her, he checked for visible injuries, finding only a couple bruises and small cuts, he wrapped his uniform jacket around her, lifted her into his powerful arms, and carried her to his Lexus.

Twenty minutes later, he was walking through the entrance to the ER, and she had yet to regain consciousness. They immediately took her from his arms, and left him in front of the reception desk. The young woman behind it looked at him and handed him a clipboard with a small stack of papers on it.
He filled out what he could, and eventually gave up on trying to remember her social security number. Hell, if they wanted it so bad, they could just check her tags. Filling in her full name and birth date on the next page, he dropped it on the hard plastic chair next to him and sighed. Rubbing his face with his hands, he stood up, taking the clipboard with him, and walked to where he knew the hospital cafeteria was located.
He quickly grabbed and paid for a cup of the hospital's poor excuse for coffee and hurried back to the waiting room to wait for news on his friend. At least ten minutes later, an old, tired looking doctor came through the doors, and asked who was there for her. Standing up, he approached the doctor and asked how she was.
"She is doing as well as expected so far. We still have to run a few tests, but she should make a full recovery. However, since she hasn't regained consciousness, we don't know how well she is doing mentally," he explained carefully, "We also want to keep her for a few days after she regains consciousness for observation."
"Thank you," the tall military officer answered, "When can I see her?"
"We are moving her to a private room, so a nurse should come down and get you when we get her settled... I assumed the jacket she was wrapped in when she came in is yours, so I will also have that brought out to you... Commander?"
"Yes, Commander Harmon Rabb, United States Navy, JAG Corps. And my partner Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie, your patient, was attacked, think... I found her in her apartment... I was supposed to be there earlier, and if I had..." he trailed off.
