Crash part 5
Station 19
Downstairs in the captains office lay Sullivan and Andy in his bed in each other's arms, after ten minutes of sleeping Sullivan wakes up, he looks to his sleeping lieutenant, without trying to wake her he looks at her checking she was okay from the fit earlier, he smiles to himself about finally making a break with another women because ever since his wife's death Robert had never been or fell in love with another women.
Captain sullivan stayed awake watching andy sleep.

Upstairs
Meanwhile upstairs everyone was making dinner and having a good time chatting before the next call out, but soon the chatter got to where Andy was because people new, she wouldn't miss a meal with her friends.
"the dinner is ready" says Travis.
"okay we are only missing Herrera" says jack.
"I wonder where she has got to, she wouldn't miss a meal not with us" explains Maya.
"oh, I seen her talking to Sullivan earlier he called her to his office" says dean.
"really and where is she know I wonder probably still talking to Sullivan" says vic.
"well she may be sleeping she has been acting a little weird the past few weeks much weirder than Jack did when he had ptsd" explains Dean.
"wait what if Sullivan spotted her odd behaviour and know he is chewing her out about it know" says Maya.
"or she could be sleeping with her boss like Vic is doing" suggests Travis.
"hey why did you have to bring up Ripley and me" asks vic.
"because everyone practically knows since the two of you can't keep your hands off one another when you're in the station" says Travis.
"okay I don't care about Vic and Ripley if Andy is sick, she needs our help and support so I am going to the captain's office to find her" says Maya.
"I'll go Andy may not want to speak to you" says dean.
"why would Andy not want to speak to Maya, what have you done to make Herrera not talk to you" asks Vic?
"yeah did you sleep with her boyfriend or her ex-boyfriend" asks Travis?
Maya and jack look to one another and they just keep their mouths shut, Vic notices and she is shocked.
"no way did you sleep with her ex and how did she find, did she walk in on you two" asks Vic?
"in the supply closet" answers Maya.
"well least we can't say we are all keeping it in the station" says Travis.
"okay less of it I will go to the office with Maya" says dean.
"okay let's go" says Maya.
Dean and Maya walk off to the stairs, they walk down them and head to the captain's office.

Downstairs
In the captains office, Robert got out of the bed he gently removed Andy from his body and placed her flat to the mattress, he puts on his shoes and walks out to his desk, he straightens his office up making it look presentable opening the blinds making sure it looks like no one had a fit in there hoping to keep Andy's secret, he sits down on the chair and he opens his laptop and searches the best neuro surgeons in Seattle and in his search there was only one name doctor Amelia shepherd of grey sloan hospital, whilst on the computer Sullivan looks up to see Maya and dean approaching the office.
Maya walks to the door she knocks on the door and waits for Sullivan to invite her in.
"enter" shouts Sullivan.
Maya opens the door and she and dean walk in and closes the door.
"can I help you two with something" asks Sullivan?
"yeah we were worried about andy and were wondering where she is she didn't come and eat dinner with us" says Maya.
"oh, right so why did you think she was here" asks Sullivan?
"i saw you shout her into the office" answers dean.
"fine she is here she is sleeping" answers Sullivan.
"wait why is she sleeping" asks Maya?
"and why is she in your bed" asks dean?
"right less of the questions you two I am your superior officer and I don't have to explain myself to you, and I know Andy is asleep in my bed but she is safe I there for the time being" answers Sullivan.
"sorry sir we are just worried about her" answers Maya.
"well if you were concerned about her you should have come forward before know if I wasn't the only one watching then maybe she could have come and spoke to one of you lot instead I had to make a move and ask her if she is okay because she is mad at you but I don't know why" asks Sullivan in an angry voice.
"we all are she has been acting odd and we all know Andy and she wouldn't listen to us or talk to me" answers Maya.
"may I ask what you did to make her not speak to her because she is ill and she needs our help and support know put your differences aside and help her, from today I am putting Andy on the sick" says Sullivan.
"can I ask what is wrong with her" asks Dean?
"to be honest I don't know but I think it's some kind of epilepsy, she has been having bad headaches and blackouts and silent seizures, she had a full-blown seizure in my office that's why she is a sleep in the bed" explains Sullivan.
"oh god I have been so wrapped up in my life that my friend needed help and I couldn't see it" says Maya.
"well once she has woken up, I will take her to grey sloan and speak to the doctor shepherd" says Sullivan.
"why you sir hasn't you got a station to run" asks Maya?
"i have but Andy is one of my team and I want to make sure she is fit to work" says Sullivan.
"fine" answers Maya.
Robert woke Andy up, once she was fully awake and aware of her surroundings, he decided to take her to the hospital, and he decided to let Maya come to, try and get the too talking, Robert told dean to tell Jack that he was in charge until he got back.

Grey sloan
Emergency was slow when Maya and Sullivan arrived with Andy in tow, as the three walked into the emergency department Miranda was not expecting to see three firefighters come into the department.
Miranda walks to the three firefighters.
"can I help you with something" asks Miranda?
"yeah I have a knew patient to check in, and is it possible to get them assessed by the head of neurology" asks Robert?
"err sure but where is the patient" asks Miranda not thinking a fire fighter is the patient.
"oh, lieutenant Herrera is the patient" answers Robert.
"err oh right well bed two please" says Miranda showing Andy the way to the bed with Maya and Sullivan right behind her which gets Miranda's attention.
Andy gets on the bed.
"okay so what seems to be the problem and why has she got two bodyguards" asks Miranda.
"okay this is Andy Herrera she is being admitted for evaluation following an epileptic fit of unknown cause" explains Maya.
"oh, know I get why you two are watching her" says Miranda.
"she had an epileptic seizure in my office today, I monitored her the fit lasted three minutes, but that's not why we are here she has been having symptoms and silent seizures for weeks now she has not told no one, we need to know what is wrong and if it gets out it could end her career" explains Sullivan.
"okay any injuries in the last few weeks" asks Miranda?
"she was in a crash were the ambulance ended up down the ravine, she had a concussion we all thought she was okay until she started exhibiting signs of a neurological deficit" explains Sullivan.
"okay I will page doctor shepherd, and I will order a nurse to keep a close eye on her" says Miranda.
"thank you doctor bailey" says Sullivan.
Miranda walks off and pages Amelia.
10 minutes later Amelia walks to the nurse's station and greets Miranda.

Nurses station
"doctor bailey I got paged about a new patient where are they" asks Amelia?
"bed 2 she is a fire fighter she is in because she has had a fit at work, and she had a head injury a few months ago and there is a possible complication causing seizures and blackouts and silent fits" explains Miranda.
"great I will examine the patient" says Amelia.
Amelia walks to the bed were Andy sat talking to Maya and Sullivan.
"good afternoon I am doctor shepherd I need to do a neuro exam and then I want to send you for a series of scans first one will be a cat scan and I also want you to have an eeg" explains Amelia.
"fine by me doc" answers Andy.
Amelia checks Andy's eyes her tongue because people who have fits bite their tongue and on Andy it was visible and a clear indicator of fits, soon the eeg results were in and it confirmed that she had a complication from the head injury.
After the results from the scan and eeg were back amelia goes to talk to Andy.
"hey Andy can I speak to you alone please" asks Amelia?
"it's okay they are fine to listen" answers Andy.
"okay well I have your results back and the seizures are not life threatening and since it was only one then I can say the condition may not be permanent, but I would say you have got epilepsy from the head injury you sustained in the crash" explains Amelia.
"is she fit to work" asks Sullivan?
"yep and I would like her to take tablets for a few weeks to help the concussion heal, the scan showed no damage to the brain but sometimes seizures can happen when the brain takes time to recover, so the condition may stick or she may be free" explains Amelia.
"great can I go" asks Andy?
"sure, here is your prescription and I will want to see you in a months' time for a check-up just to make sure she is having seizures or if they have stopped" says Amelia.
Andy, Robert and Maya walk out the hospital knowing Andy has a diagnosis and it may not be in her life forever.
