Changing Tomorrow

Nothing is scarier than knowing that by the end of the day, your girlfriend will be dead. Jake and Carter sat hopelessly in the lounge thinking and rethinking of a way they could prevent Abby from dieing the most brutal death possible. But they were thinking only of how they would keep her from getting hit by the rig as opposed to thinking how to keep her from getting so upset that she needed to escape into the ambulance bay. The problem was that neither Jake nor Carter knew why she was in the bay, so they couldn't know how to stop her from going there. After several paces across the lounge floor and many unsuccessful ideas, Carter decided to stretch the limits.
"Jake, we have to ask them."
"Ask who what?"
"Everyone. We have to know if they saw it too."

It may be the closest thing they'd seen to progress all day. Despite all the orders Abby had given them to get to work, they had sat in that room all afternoon. On the way out the door, Abby passed in between the two guys too quickly for them to see the fearful shock draining through her face. Before the door could even close, Abby had her locker wide and her hand slapping around on the shelf too high for her eyes to see. Jake turned around, and, now separated by the door, hinted a small saddened smile towards Abby's back.

They approached Sam in the admit area to see if she knew what they knew. Sam was left with a blank stare and the impression that two of the ER's doctors had gone insane.
"What are you saying!"
"Abby! Did you see her yesterday?"
"…Yea…?"
"Did you see her die?"
"Are you guys ok?"
"Yea, we're fine… we just wanted to know who else saw her."

Before Sam could come up with an answer, Jake heard Susan in the back of his head.
"What's the ETA? … 1 minute? … Ok great!"
Jake played and replayed his 'dream' in his head. Susan. Ambulance. Abby. Ambulance bay. His eyes went larger than ever when he heard the ambulance bay doors open and sirens getting louder from in the distance. He dashed to the door, looked up into the road at the red lights bouncing off the walls speeding straight towards the hospital. Susan looked at him, confused as to why he couldn't breath. He looked into the snow and Susan's eyes followed. Her face fell to pieces at the site, her jaw hitting the ground and shattering. Jake leapt of the sidewalk towards the hidden figure and let out a cry so loud you could hear it in St. Louis.
"AAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYY!"
Carter heard the name and jolted to the door to see Abby in the snow, Jake diving towards her, an ambulance rig recklessly approaching the huddle, and a fear stricken Susan as witness to it all.
