Other then the chirps and beeps of the machines hooked to Commissioner Gordon his hospital room was silent. Not that the sounds would bother the man who lay on the bed. Due to the loss of blood he had passed out and had yet to awake. A doctor at his side shook his head. If things didn't begin to improve soon it wouldn't be good.
His heart rate was slow as well as the blood pressure being below normal. They had done all they could for him when he had arrived but now it came to waiting. Something the waiting room full of police officers didn't seem good at. Sighing he braced him self for the bombardment of questions he would face as he went out to give an update.
As he left the room a red headed young girl was headed his way. This had to be Gordon's daughter that he had been told about. Pulling his face mask of he tried to smile at her. Tried to put on a good face, yet he must have failed.
For the first thing she said upon seeing him, "He isn't going to make it is he."
"He suffered massive blood loss," was his reply, "His body had gone into shock. He's as stable as can be expected."
The girls face didn't change as she nodded she understood. "Can I sit with him?"
"Of course."
As she began to walk past she turned slightly, "My names Barbra by the way."
"I'm Dr. Konners. I'll do the best I can."
Her reply, "Thank you." Was music to his ears. He truly would do his best like he did every time. But somehow this time it seemed like it would be different. Not only would he be trying to save a patent but bring someone back to the ones that truly loved them.
