Callen and Sam pulled into the parking lot of the hospital and quickly found a parking spot and then jumped out of the car and ran into the Emergency Room. Neither of them felt comfortable letting Hetty or even Dawn out of their eye sight for to long at a time. They didn't know why but they both had a bad feeling that something was going to happen and they both always tended to follow their instincts when it came to one of their own and Hetty was one of their own and therefore Dawn was one of their own too.

When they entered the waiting room of the Emergency Room they both quickly scanned the area and frowned when they didn't see Hetty. Although it wasn't long that they heard her raised voice and they looked at one another before taking their badges out and rushing through the double doors and over to where Hetty was arguing with some woman.

"Ma'am I'm sorry but you can't go into the room with her right now. You'll have to wait out in the waiting room until the Doctor is done looking her over." a woman said.

Before Hetty could open up her mouth to say anything Callen stepped in front of her and flipped open his badge. "Listen lady that woman was shot and she's one of us. Until we know that whoever shot her didn't follow us to this hospital we can't and we won't let her out of our sight. Now move out of the way and let us through."

The woman's mouth dropped open and she gaped at Callen but before she could say anything the Doctor came out to see what the commotion was and he said "What is going on out here?"

This time Sam flipped open his badge and said "The woman that was just brought in with two gunshot wounds is one of us and we need to stay with her until we can make sure that whoever shot her didn't follow us. The woman here will not let us through."

The Doctor sighed and shook his head as he looked at the woman who Sam was talking about and he said "How many times do I have to tell you Betty that if someone wants to come in with the person brought in from an ambulance that they can as long they stay out of my way. Now let these two gentlemen through."

Hetty stepped out from behind Callen and smiled when she recognized the Doctor who had spoken. "Doctor King it's been a while. Can I go in while you work on my God daughter?"

Doctor King smiled when he saw Hetty. "Of course you can Hetty. Your two men can even come in. I thought I recognized Dawn but I wasn't sure if it was her. It's been a couple years since I've seen her."

Callen looked at the Doctor and said "You know Dawn?"

Doctor King nodded. "Yes, I know Dawn. I shouldn't be working on her since she is my God daughter but I can't let someone else work on her especially since I now know that it's possible that whoever shot her could come and finish the job. I work with a great bunch of people but I only trust myself to make sure that Dawn's alright. Now if you three will follow me I need to get back to Dawn."

Callen, Sam and Hetty all nodded and followed behind Doctor King. As soon as they were inside the Trauma room that Dawn had been taken into they stopped in their tracks. As Hetty, Callen, and Sam all looked at Dawn they couldn't believe how pale she was. They all three knew then that she had lost more blood than they had thought.

Doctor King hurried back over to Dawn's bed side and continued checking her over and ordering a CBC, chem panel and a blood culture. After he shouted those orders he checked her blood pressure personally and frowned when he saw that it was dropping. He was thankful that he was on duty today because if he hadn't been then the Doctor who tended to Dawn would wait to see what her blood type was before getting her a transfusion. He was thankful that he insisted a couple years back that Dawn get her blood checked to see what type she was after she had had an accident.

"I want two bags of Type O negative blood and put it on the rapid infuser." Doctor King ordered.

"Doctor King shouldn't wait to see what type of blood she has?" a Nurse asked.

Doctor King sighed and looked over at the Nurse who had asked the question. "No, Rose I know what type of blood she has. She's O negative. Now will you please get the blood up her and hooked up? She's lost to much blood already. I also want a surgeon on stand by."

The Nurse nodded and said "I'll get the blood and call Doctor Franks who is the surgeon on call today."

Doctor King nodded and then turned his head and looked at Hetty. "She's going to need operated on because even though the shoulder was a through in through the wound in her knee still has the bullet inside it. Will you be able to sign the consent forms for the surgery?"

Hetty nodded without thinking twice. "Yes, I can sign them."

Doctor King nodded and as he went to open his mouth to say something a man's voice was heard shouting "Where is the stupid bitch? She owes me her life for keeping her around for so long. I should have known she would have went running to her family after I beat her again. I want to see my girlfriend! I got a call saying she was here."

At that Hetty's eyebrows went up and she looked at Doctor King who sighed and said "Betty must have went through Dawn's purse and contacted her next of kin. Although why Chris would be here I don't know because Dawn ended it with him a month ago from what she said in a letter."

Hetty frowned and she looked over at Sam who nodded and said "I'll just go and have a chat with the man out their raising his voice. Hetty, you and Callen stay in here with Dawn. I'll be back soon."

Hetty nodded and she looked back at Doctor King and said "How long before she goes up to surgery?"

Just then Rose came back in with the two bags of O negative blood and after hooking on up into the rapid infuser and then putting in a I.V line she looked at Doctor King and said "Doctor Franks said that the O.R is ready and so is he."

Doctor King nodded and looked back at Hetty. "You can ride up in the elevator with us but you'll have to wait in the waiting room. No unaurthorized personell can be back in the operating room."

Hetty nodded and said "I understand that Jeremiah and I'm fine with it."

Doctor King nodded and said "Alright lets get her upstairs before her blood pressure drops even more."

At that everyone in the trauma room was galvanized into action and soon Hetty and Callen was following Dawn to the elevator and into it. Soon they were on the surgical floor and in the waiting room. Callen took out his phone and shot Sam a quick text telling him where Hetty and him were at before he started pacing. He just hoped that Dawn would be alright.
