Chapter 7
White House, Washington DC
Amy's Room
Amy walked into her room after dinner and threw off her hoodie placed it on the bed. She had dodged another bullet with her mother and father. As if being the president's daughter wasn't enough she had to dodge her mother's constant and not to mention annoying questioning of how her day was. She couldn't think of any other way to answer her mother's questions. She answered them in the typical teenaged way, "Fine".
Amy had managed to make some friends at the school after joining the swim team. Many of her friends would think that she would want to join student council or something with politics considering who her mother was. Amy stated that she wanted to stay as far away as she could from politics. Her brother, Horace, was the only one who seemed to like the limelight of being the president's son. Becca had gone into medicine and much like her sister that is what she wanted to do as well. Amy just didn't know what field of medicine she wanted to go into.
The few phone conversations that she did have with Becca were often cut short because she was in some kind of rush and was being hurried by the ER. Amy was quite sure that she didn't want to follow in Becca's footsteps and become an ER doctor. She was only a freshmen and she was already thinking of ways she could get out of her mother's limelight and focus on something she liked.
Amy turned on the computer and saw that she had a message from her friend a friend that was also on the swim team.
Hayley0792 says: Want to go out?
AmySwimmer says: Can't.
Hayley0792 says: Why?
AmySwimmer: Secret service will hunt me down. They already learned all the tricks with my brother and sister.
Hayley0792: Well, there not here anymore and I was just thinking about going to the movies. It's not like were selling drugs or anything.
AmySwimmer: Well, okay. Meet me at the school in twenty.
Hayley0792: Good job, Amy. See you there.
Amy placed a pillow in her bed and snuck out the window and landed firmly on the ground. It wasn't like her to break the rules but her parents were most likely going to be in meetings all night and they wouldn't go into her room at all. She was happy that she was doing something that was a whole lot more fun than sitting in her room all night. Amy meet her friend at the school and noticed that nothing had happened, it had seemed as if she had gotten off the hook with out any one noticing her.
"Well, that was close," Amy said to her friend.
"I'm sure glad you came," Hayley said to her friend.
"Me, too it was getting boring in my room. Are you sure this is going to work? Someone is bound to notice that I'm out without an agent tracking me down," she said.
"Stop being cautious, Amy," she said back to her, "It's time to do something rebellious and I'm sure going to a movie won't hurt a bit."
"Well, that's a good point, no one has noticed me so far," Amy say.
"See, stop worrying and nothing will go wrong," Hayley said as the entered the movie theater.
County General Hospital
Chicago
The ambulance bay was full with commotion. It was mid afternoon and so far for the boring day that Becca had had this was probably going to be the highlight of her day or maybe her whole medical career to this point. She hadn't seen much of her friend, Claire, at work since they seemed to be in two different ends of the hospital at the time. Neela was a bright person and unlike Abby seemed to give her student harder jobs then bandaging up ankles and suture cuts up.
Claire and Becca passed each other in the hallway as Sam passed them on the side. She threw trauma gowns to both of the students and they walked into the ambulance bay. Becca was happy that she didn't have to end up watching the board as all the exciting cases came in. She was actually going to be a part of something.
"Where the hell is Abby?" Sam shouted.
"She was in the suture room the last time I was with her," Becca shouted back at her.
"Well, we need an attending. Your just students and I am a nurse. Get Kovac or Pratt," Sam shouted.
Claire ran back into the hospital frantically. Her trauma gown already drenched in blood and the look on her face said panic. Claire couldn't help but feel that way too. She ran back to the admit desk to notice that neither Pratt nor Kovac standing there. She was greeted by a nervous looking Jerry and even more panic looking Chuny.
"We need and attending out there," Claire said to the people at the admit desk, "its hell,"
"Kovac is already in a trauma and I can't find Pratt," Chuny stated to her. Chuny had seen her share of trauma's and had been in almost all of them as a nurse.
"We need someone," Claire yelled.
"Hurry up, Claire!" Becca yelled back through the doors.
"I'm here," Pratt stated as he walked out of the lounge and threw on the trauma gown that Chuny gave him, "Leave for two seconds and look what happens. Where's Kovac?"
"In a trauma already," Chuny informed him.
"What is it a full moon or something?" Pratt joked.
"Get the hell out here now," Sam yelled back through the doors.
"Okay," Pratt yelled back as he walked out of the door, "What do we have?"
"Looks like he was fishing and fell into the water and no one noticed him until hours later," Sam said as the EMT handed her the sheet.
"Why is he all cut up?" Claire asked.
"That is a good question. Something we can find out later if we can get him better," Pratt stated.
They walked through the doors to the ER. They pushed the gurney through the already crowded hallway as Pratt asked what was open. Chuny stated that trauma 2 was open. They rushed the badly injured man into the room and began to work on him. Becca had gotten what she secretly wished for and now she just hoped that she could find Abby or Neela to help them out a little bit. She had to admit that she was happy that she was in a trauma but she was a little nervous at the time.
