In Her Eyes

Meanwhile, at the county jail, Richard was in his cell causing as much trouble as possible. He had used his one phone call to get his girlfriend to bail him out. Richard's head was spinning and every sound was amplified to a million times what it would usually sound like. He banged his fists against the bars that held him in and got yelled at in return. He held his head in pain and sat down, not wanting any more loud noises. Then, his girlfriend walked in with an angry glare in her eyes.

"I'm here to bail my boyfriend out." She looked impatiently at the officer at the desk who rolled his eyes.

"The bail is really high. I don't think you want to use all of that money." The officer knew that Richard didn't deserve to get bail.

"Just show me how much." Her voice was stiff. The officer pulled out a piece of paper and the girl's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She couldn't even speak. The woman closed her eyes and nodded. "I'll get it." She pulled out her purse and the officer couldn't believe this. Once the bail was paid, the officer grabbed his keys. He walked slowly to Richard's cell and unlocked the door with unbelief in every move. The cops had told him how dangerous this man was and what he had done to his ex-wife and a couple of others. This went against everything that the officer knew. The justice system was definitely screwed up. As Richard left with the woman, every officer watched him leave, with anger staring after him.

Luka sat quietly, staring off into space in Sam's hospital room. Alex's babysitter had dropped him off and Luka held him. Alex had fallen asleep and Luka didn't want to disturb him. He cared a lot about Sam and Alex and he felt horrible that this had happened. The only thing he could really think about was his love. Abby was scared and alone. This shouldn't have happened. Luka shouldn't have left. If he had stayed, maybe this wouldn't have happened. Abby didn't remember anything due to her head injury and he hoped fiercely that she would regain everything in a couple of days. A tear streamed down Luka's face and he closed his eyes, falling into a restless sleep.

It was a very slow day for County General and Dr. Weaver sat in admin looking over charts. She sighed and glanced up. Two police officers strolled through the ambulance bay and headed straight for the admin desk. Weaver stood up and waited for them to arrive.

"Doctor." The tall, handsome officer greeted her. The smaller, more intense looking one was more serious.

"We have some bad news. Your doctor's ex-husband, Richard, posted bail. He's out now and we thought that we should warn you. We'll stay here and guard her room as well as your hurt nurses'." Weaver's eyes were wide and she clenched her jaw tight.

"Thank you. That would be great. I thought that the bail was too high to bail out." Weaver knew that the bail was ridiculous.

"It was extremely high. The judge did that purposefully, so that he wouldn't be able to get out. His girlfriend came and had all of the money." The policemen were solemn. Weaver nodded and gave them directions to the rooms. This was going to be a rough day.

While Abby slept, Susan crept quietly out of the room with a new hope. There was hope for her best friend. Susan strolled to Dr. Corday's office and knocked softly. She heard Corday telling her to enter. As she ambled into the spacious office, she smiled slightly.

"She remembers everything. I went in and she was asleep. As soon as she woke up, she just remembered. Vitals are stable." Susan updated the surgeon happily and she sat down, sighing.

"Wow...good. Very good. I was really worried about it. She is recovering quite fast for her condition. If you would go tell Luka, I know he would appreciate that. I will go sit with Abby until he gets there." Elizabeth was very relieved and knew that Susan was as well. She looked so different from the Susan she saw earlier.

"Yeah. Sure." Susan smiled and walked out on her way to give some good news to Luka. As Susan walked downstairs, she passed Chen, who stopped her.

"Dr. Lewis, how is Abby?" There was true concern in her voice and Susan was surprised. Chen had always had something against Abby because of her past relationship with Carter. Susan sighed and smiled.

"Actually, she is doing very well now. There was a scare when she couldn't remember anything, but she is good now. Stable, but still has a long recovery ahead of her." Susan liked what she was saying. Chen smiled and nodded, relieved.

"Good. I think I will drop by later today." She patted Susan's shoulder and headed up the stairs.

Down in the ER, she saw Sam's room. She walked hastily to the room to give Luka the great news. "Luka?" She whispered when she was in the room.

"Hey, Susan." Luka whispered this from a chair across the room. Susan saw Sam's son in the chair closest to his mother, sleeping and she walked closer to Luka.

"She woke up after a while and she remembered everything." Luka's eyes brightened and he stood up excitedly.

"Will you." He didn't finish and Susan nodded as he rushed out of the room. Susan sat down happily and glanced over at Sam's now awake face. Sam smiled and laid her head back down and grabbed her son's hand lovingly. It seemed like everything was going to be okay again until Susan saw a cop standing outside of the room. Susan's brows drew together and she got up to ask what was going on.

The happiness couldn't possibly last, Susan thought. What she didn't know was how right she was.

Thanks for the reviews!! Please keep them coming and hopefully I can figure out where to end this story! :D –soccergirlmich--
