Allison Cameron ran through the halls and down staircases to get to the Emergency Room. Going to the nurse station she informed them what was happening two miles from the hospital. It was amazing to see how quickly the staff organized and called for ambulances when the time was needed.

"Dr. Cameron?" Lisa Cuddy had been called and came running into the organized chaos.

"Chase called. He's right in the middle of it. He's going to do what he can there."

"The news is reporting about a 20 car pile up."
"He said about 13."

"Does House have any patients?" Cameron shook her head no. "Can you help out down here? I'm going to see who else I can round up." Cameron nodded and made her way over to the doctor in charge of the ER to offer her services.

Not far from where he was, Chase saw more cars become part of the accident due to not being able to stop or skidding. That was when a yellow school bus on its side caught his attention.He looked back into the car that he was already in and continued helping its passengers. The bus would have to wait. "One more push, Mary." He said, helping the pregnant woman give birth to her first child.

With Mary's husband Bill encouraging her from behind Mary gave one final push and Chase had delivered a crying baby. "It's a boy. Keep him and mom warm. Try and breast feed. I got to go."

"Thank you, Dr. Chase." Bill said

Chase then made his way to the bus by climbing over cars. He ignored the pains in his shoulder, back and neck as he did so. Once there he looked around.

People were standing around, gawking, while children were crying from the inside. In disbelief, Robert pointed to a group of people standing together. "Go, get some of the emergency people." He then climbed on top of the bus, over to one of the broken windows.

Leaning in he looked around. There were children everywhere. Some were crying, some were silent, some were bleeding and some weren't. "My name is Dr. Chase. I'm here to help you." He called in.

Instantly, most of the children calmed down.

"I know that you are scared and hurt. But I will take care of you. I'm going to get you out. But you have to stay calm. I'm going to come in and help you, but you have to stay put. Does everyone understand?"

A chorus of 'Yes', 'Yeah', and 'Uh huh's', answered him.

"Good. Everyone stay away from the window. I'll be there in a minute." Robert looked around and saw two strong looking men. "You come over here." He ordered to both of them.

Both men complied. "Are you really a doctor?" One of them asked.

"Yeah, at Princeton Plainsboro. Now I'm going to pass the children who aren't too badly injured up to you with instructions. See if you can rally some more people to help. Got that?"

Both men nodded. "Good." He turned back to the open window. "Okay, here I'm come." The men helped lower him gently into the bus.

"I'm Dr. Chase. What's your name and where do you hurt?" Chase asked the first child he saw.

The two original men who he asked to help were the ones who lifted him out of the now empty bus. It had taken four hours to get all the children out of there. Most were bruised and had a broken bone or a slight concussion. There were four that had to be taken out on a backboard. And one he was worried about a leg with.

Getting back on solid ground, he looked around. There were cars, as far as the eye could see, that were involved in the accident. He also noticed the snow that was piling up on the ground. When did it start to snow? He wondered.

Taking a breath, Chase headed out to find the next group that needed help when a wave of dizziness washed over him. Maybe he pushed too hard. He had already been here for the past 6 hours. He hadn't had anything to eat or drink and the adrenaline that he was running on was now running out.

Maybe I should get myself a ride to work and get checked out. He thought as he heard somebody call out "What's that smell?" And then there was a thundering boom.
