I hope that it is working out alright so far and that you are enjoying it and it makes sense.

Susan carried on towards Abby as the man was dragged kicking and screaming out of the Exam Room and then hopefully right out of the ER.

Abby was sitting on the floor, leaning back against the wall with her knees bent upwards. Susan knelt down beside her. She looked into Abby's eyes and saw the fear that had previously occupied them dissolving into sheer bewilderment.

"You OK?" Susan asked.

Abby nodded her head shakily.

"Come on," Susan said, helping Abby up and gesturing for her to follow.

"Hey, is the Suture Room open?" Susan called and a nurse nodded.

She kept walking and went into the Suture Room with Abby following her. She motioned for Abby to sit down on the gurney and closed the door behind them and then drew the blinds.

Abby sat there for a moment, rubbing the side of her neck with one hand and her stomach with the other.

"Are you bleeding?" Susan asked and watched Abby turn to show her the side of her neck. Susan touched it gently and ran her fingers around the side of Abby's face.

"No cuts, just a scratch," she said.

Abby nodded, but still did not say anything.

"Any other injuries?" Susan enquired.

"I don't think so," Abby said standing up, her hands were still shaking.

"What happened?" Susan asked, perching on the edge of the gurney.

"To be honest, I don't have a clue," Abby said retaking her seat beside her friend.

"How long did he have you like that?" Susan enquired.

"Only for a couple of minutes before you cam in," Abby said, slightly calmer now, "I was hoping that one of you would walk in for something and find me."

"It was not like your could shout or anything," Susan said reassuringly.

"Yeah, I know," Abby replied, "It was pretty scary though."

Abby moved again, rubbing her neck, and then her back, and her hips.

"Are you sure that you are OK?" Susan asked her.

"Yeah, just a little sore," Abby said to her.

"Is he gone?" Abby asked Susan.

"I think so, the guy would not last long in here like that, especially with Jerry there," Susan said jokily.

"I did not know that he was that strong!" Abby said smiling.

Abby gave Susan a hug for what she had done.

"You want a coffee Susan?" Abby asked.

"Yeah, come on," Susan said and they both headed for the lounge.

The ER was still pretty calm and in such a state that they could both go for a coffee.

"Abby!" called a voice from behind them. They both turned around.

"Jerry, thank you so much," Abby said before he pulled her into a gentle, friendly hug.

Abby sank onto a seat at the table in the lounge, intently watching Susan perform an operation on the coffee machine. An operation that involved hitting and thumping the side of it, trying to coax it to work. She gave up and tossed Abby a bottle of water from the fridge before sitting down opposite her. Just as they started a conversation, the lounge door creaked open, and a voice spoke softly.

"Abby, Susan, can we talk?" Kerry said.

"Sure," they replied in unison.
