Chapter 8

County General Hospital

Chicago

A/N: For the ER readers of this story, Pratt is an attending. If you haven't gotten that point and Kerry is still in the show, despite the recent dismissal of her character on the show. I just haven't figured out a way to put her in my story.

Abby rushed into the room and threw on a trauma gown that Sam threw her. She immediately saw the blood and the mass trauma that had happened in there. Neela quickly followed behind her holding her hands close together. Neela had been up on the surgical field trying to get an internship up there. She had always had an interest in surgery she just didn't know how to go about it. She was questioning herself and her motives just like she always had of rather or not if she wanted to be an ER doctor any longer. She liked the people down her and for about four years she had become great friends with many of them. She had gone from being a shy but studious and very smart med student to a very intelligent doctor. She just wanted a change of pace.

"What are you doing?" Abby yelled at her.

"Nothing," Neela said.

"That's right, now get on a gown and help us out a little bit," Pratt yelled at her, "your student sure as hell doesn't know what she is doing."

"Hey, I do know what I'm doing," Claire said standing over Abby's shoulder watching her administer drugs to the patient to stop the bleeding. Becca stood behind the patient pumping a bag to assist the breathing. There was a shortage of nurses that day and Chuny was in the trauma with Kovac. Becca secretly prayed that everything would be alright with this patient as she continued to pump the bag.

White House

Oval Office, Late Evening

Mac sat in her office typing quietly on the computer. She sat wondering what her older children were going through at the moment. She had thought that Amy was up in her room writing her report but she didn't know that her daughter had escape and managed to make her way to the school.

Rod entered the office and walked over to his wife and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Hey, honey, do you know where Amy is?" he asked.

"She should be in her room," Mac answered him.

"I was just up there she wasn't in her room," he told her.

"Well, where would she be," she asked.

"I really don't know," he answered, "I'll check around and see if I can find her. I don't think she would have left without telling us."

"Okay," Mac said. Rod walked out of the office and began to walk around the main floor. He bumped into Kelly as she was walking to meet Mac.

"Have you seen, Amy?" Rod asked.

"Not lately, check her room," Kelly said barely looking up from the notepad she was holding.

"Okay thanks," Rod said to her. Rod continued to walk around the main floor in his panic search for his youngest daughter.

DC Movieplex

Late Evening

Amy and her friends stood outside of the movie theater waiting to go in. They had thought of ways of disguising Amy from any person who wanted to know. Hayley gave her a beanie hat and Amy threw it over her head to hide her bright auburn hair that look so much like her mother's. They couldn't do much about Amy being about five foot nine. It was going to be kind of hard to hide the fact that she was so tall at a very young age.

Shanti threw makeup on her and they walked into the movie theater.

"I'm amazed no one noticed you," Shanti said as they walked up to the ticket stand.

"Don't say anything, yet," Hayley said.

"You sure do know how to ruin stuff don't you," Shanti said.

They walked up to the ticket counter and got tickets to the newest movie. They got the tickets and walked into the movie theaters hands full of popcorn and treats. They found some seats in the back and sat down and began to enjoy the ten minutes of previews that they would have to go through before seeing the movie. The movie finally began as an usher began to walk through the aisles checking tickets of the moviegoers. He got to Amy's row and asked her for the ticket.

"Your Amy Calloway, aren't you?" he said. Amy gulped she had been caught.
