Allison Cameron ran to meet the next gurney that was coming in. This one also had a child on it. It seemed that a school bus had gotten involved in the accident. The child was unconscious and Cameron listened as the paramedic rattled off the information. Lifting up the blanket, she couldn't help but gasp at the leg that looked back at her.

It wasn't so much the mangled leg, but the more than familiar tie that was used to make a tourniquet for the child.

"Seems there was a doctor on the scene and he was helping the children before we even got there."

"Yeah, that's Dr. Chase. How did he seem?" Cameron asked. She was desperate for news on her fiancé.

"Co-worker?" Cameron nodded, wanting the man to continue. "Think he pulled something in his shoulder or back. But that man is a hero. The kids were calm, and all made it out of there."

"There was just an explosion. We're expected to get more." Lisa Cuddy came running through the halls explaining to the staff.

"Guess that means I got to head back out."

"If you see Dr. Chase, tell him to get his butt back here. If he refuses, knock him out and drag him here."

The EMT grinned before wheeling his gurney back out to get the next injured person from the accident.

It was 10pm before Cameron met up with Eric Foreman, Greg House, and James Wilson in the diagnostics conference room. Foreman was sitting at the table with his head back and eyes closed. House and Wilson were at the coffee pot, Wilson making the coffee, and House supervising. "Have any of you heard from Chase?" She asked, getting a bottle of water out of the fridge.

"No. Why?" Wilson asked.

"He was coming in late correct?" House asked. "He didn't check in with me."

"He was in that accident. He stayed to help out on the scene. An EMT around 3pm said he saw him. That was the last anyone mentioned seeing him." Cameron commented.

"Has everyone been brought in from the scene?" Foreman questioned.

Cameron nodded. "That's what the last EMT said."

"They didn't send everyone here. The one's that were mobile, for the most part, they sent to other hospitals. He might have gone with them. "Then why didn't he call?" Cameron started to get worked up.

"No phones in a hospital." House commented.

"And a land line?" Cameron countered.

"You know how crazy it was here. Maybe he's waiting to get to a phone." House walked over and handed her a cup of freshly brewed coffee taking the water out of her hand.

"Knowing Chase, he's probably walking here as we speak." Foreman smiled.

Cameron nodded, eagerly taking a sip of the coffee and sitting down on the couch. The room was silent not knowing what else to say at the moment. "Just need to close my eyes for a bit. If you hear from him, wake me."

"Will do. Rest." House ordered.

House motioned them all into his office to let her sleep.

"She dropped off pretty quickly" Foreman commented.

"Always be prepared for mass panic." House countered, throwing an empty vial into the garbage can.

"You drugged her?" Wilson knew he shouldn't have sounded so surprised.

"We don't need a crazy woman running around here at the moment."

"You think he's okay?" Foreman asked once the door was closed.

House was cut off from answering as Cuddy walked into the room. "You're all still here?"

The men all nodded. "All are taken care of?" Wilson asked.

"The last person from the accident has just gotten out of surgery."

"How'd we do?"

"Only two DOA's and one that died in surgery. Not all that bad. Don't know about the other hospitals though."

"Do you know what hospitals others were sent to?" House asked.

Cuddy nodded. "Anyone who didn't come here was sent to Princeton General. Why?" She asked curiously.

"Any John Does?"

"Don't know. Has anyone seen Dr. Chase? I got a load of people looking for him."

"He hasn't called in or showed up yet."

"Has anyone seen him?"

"Cameron said an EMT saw him around three this afternoon." Wilson added. "Seemed he helped out with the school bus."

"I know. I have a room full of grateful parents wanting to thank him."

"Dr. Cameron hasn't heard from him either. The EMT said he was hurt too." Wilson further explained.

"I'll call around and see if anyone has seen him. He might have been shipped off to another hospital and is either waiting for treatment or he fell asleep after all that adrenalin." Cuddy turned to walk out the door when she paused. "But keep an eye on her in any case." She commented before leaving House's office.

Cameron blinked a few times as her eyes adjusted to the bright sun pouring though the window. Yawning, it took her a moment to realize where she was. The hospital. Conference room. Spent the night. "Robert." She cried sitting up.

"Haven't heard anything yet." A voice to her left said. Wilson handed her a cup of coffee.

"What do you mean?" She took a sip of the hot liquid.

"Cuddy's called around to other hospitals. Forman went to check on the four John Does."

"No one has seen him?"

"It snowed heavily last night. They're still trying to clear the scene. Two bodies were found about an hour ago." Wilson moved to sit next to her. Putting an arm around her shoulder he continued. "It might be another day before they find the body. You should go home."

"No. I'm not doing this again. We're supposed to get married in a month. I already lost one husband. I will not lose my fiancé. He is not dead." Cameron pulled out her cell phone, hit speed dial three, and listened to the phone ring. "Answer the phone, Robert." She repeated with each ring. When his voice mail picked up she disconnected and hit redial.

Wilson refused to leave the spot by her side. If Chase was dead, like all believed he was, then Cameron was going to need all the friends she could get.

Chase had proposed to Cameron on the last day of his fellowship under House.

Chase had been offered a job moments before, heading the ICU department. It seemed that the current head of ICU was retiring. Chase was the first one approached for the position. He accepted only if Cuddy would give him four months off to plan a wedding, marry, and honeymoon in Australia. He offered to stay on till then working shifts in the ICU and learning the ropes so that the transition went smoothly.

When he was asked whom he was marrying and why he needed so long, he turned to Cameron, got down on one knee, and proposed. Chase later explained that the time frame gave Cameron a chance to finish her fellowship, get married and honeymoon, without it being weird with them as co-workers under the same boss.

Cameron and Cuddy both immediately agreed.

The past two months had Chase planning every detail of their wedding. He had offered to deal with all the organization and leaving Cameron to just worry about a dress and bridesmaids. He called her occasionally to ask about flowers or food, but he took on the role of main planner for their wedding.

Yesterday he was supposed to get the paperwork for their marriage license before coming into work. A license that today might have no meaning.

As Wilson glanced at the tears falling down Cameron's cheeks he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. While his previous three marriages ended in divorce, at least both parties consented to it. It seemed that Cameron's marriages ended as a one sided agreement. Wilson continued to sit with Cameron as she continued to dial her fiancé's phone number.
