Suddenly, there was an insurge of medical personnell and Luka silently thanked them all. He didn't recognise any of the doctor's as being from County General, so assumed they were from Mercy, which was closer to the station. He saw two paramedics looking around and moved quickly over to them.
"There is a young boy over there," he pointed behind him to where Sam was still perched over the child. "He has a rod of metal lacerating his abdomen. Pulse is weak and erratic, could be hypothermic by now."
The paramedics looked at him and he saw the look of sheer anguish that crossed their faces. And also the question in their eyes.
"I'm a doctor at County Genral ER, Doctor Kovac," he announced and they simply nodded.
He grabbed two disaster scene kit boxes from the back of the ambulance he was now standing in front of and moved back towards the young nurse, knowing that the paramedics would follow him. He kept his head bent and tried to ignore the scene around him. He had seen too many disasters in his life. Had seen too many lives being taken by a pointless act.
Danijela, his mind supplied and he quickly shook his head.
Now was not the time.
As he reached the site, he dropped one of the boxes next to the nurse and she looked up at him in surprise, her full lips parting slightly.
He could see that her lips were swollen and saw her lick occasionally the spot where her lip was cut. She had a bruise forming on her face, to the left of her left eye.
"Medics are here," he stated simply and tried not to notice how her eyes travelled up and down his body. He knew that if he were under any other circumstances, he would find her even more attractive than he already did.
She nodded quickly and grabbed the handle on the large plastic box.
"I'll go find some more patients who'll need help," she told him and he nodded. He could hear the pain in her voice but he knew it was not from physical injury.
He watched her step carefully through the debris and observe numerous bodies, silently shaking her head as she saw that most of them were all dead. He told himself that he didn't find her gently swaying hips attractive.
He quickly conjured up an image of Abby and nodded, telling himself he would see her that night.
"Call me if you need any help!" He called after her.
She turned quickly and smiled and then he realised that he didn't even know her name.
