A/N: Hi, I hope you're liking it so far and how's my English doing?
Carter woke up and tried to speak, but couldn't.
"Don't try to speak, you're intubated, there were a few complications during surgery, but you'll be fine. Everything is going to be alright. we'll get the tube out." Benton said as he saw Carter waking up.
Carter blinked with his eyes.
"We're going to extubate you now." Benton said and a nurse was standing on the other side of Carter.
"Blow hard." Benton said and took out the tube.
You'wanted to open his mouth to say something.
"You know what happened?" Benton asked after letting Carter breath.
Carter nodded. "Yes."
"Well, I'll wait to send the cops in, so you can rest a bit first." Benton said.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now rest a bit and I'll come check on you later." Benton said and walked outside the ICU.
Carter closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"You scared us there." Susan said as she saw Carter waking up.
"Susan?"
"Yes Carter it's me." Susan smiled and tried to comfort Carter.
"It hurts." Carter moaned.
"I know, it does. Carter the cops are waiting outside, are you ready to talk to them?"
"Yeah." Carter said.
"Okay, I'll send them in." Susan said and stood up to get the cops in the hallway.
"You can talk to him, but please take it slow, he's in pain and he needs rest." Susan said to the cops.
"Ok, thank you doctor, we'll do that." One of the dectectives said and walked in the ICU.
"Hi doctor Carter, I'm dectective Jones and this is decetective Ramuerty." Jones said.
"Can you tell us what happened?" Ramuerty asked.
"Last week I treated a patient and she died, yesterday or I don't know how long I'm lying here now I treated the sister of the patient that died and she died too. The parents were furious at me… and when I told them she died the wife slapped me in the face." Carter said and closed his eyes for a moment. It was like a movie appearing in front of his eyes.
"It's ok, doctor Carter. Take your time." Ramuerty said.
"What happened next?" Jones asked.
"I went that evening home and then someone stabbed me I think. I can't really remember that part, because I woke up bounded to a chair and the couch. Then I saw the faces and it were the parents of my patients." Carter said and closed his eyes again because of the pain.
Susan came in the room.
"I think that's enough."
"Ok, we'll come back later." Jones said and walked outside the room.
"Carter, just rest for now." Susan smiled and walked outside.
"The nurse was right." Jones said to Susan.
"Yeah I hope you can catch them fast." Susan said.
"We hope so too." Ramuerty smiled.
The dectectives walked away from Susan and suddenly when Susan turned around, Benton was standing in front of her. "How is he?" He asked.
"He just talked with the cops, I've sent them out. I saw he was in pain and he really needs his rest. I hope he has told them enough." Susan answered.
"Yeah me too, I hope they catch the persons who did this to him soon." Benton said with anger.
"I've got to go back to work." Susan said and walked away from Benton.
Benton walked in the room and saw Carter was still awake. "They'll catch them soon Carter and you're going to be fine." Benton said.
"I know, thanks to you." Carter said.
"You know who found you?" Benton asked.
"No, I have no clue." Carter answered.
"Carol found you, she has been here a couple of times, but you were sleeping." Benton said.
"Really? How did she found me?"
"The staff was worried when you didn't answer any of your calls or texts and Carol was off so she went taking a look and found you." Peter explained.
"Well I guess you and her are my heroes." Carter tried to smile.
"Yeah, rest for now, Carter." Peter said and stood up.
"I will" Carter said and closed his eyes while Peter walked out of the room.
Carter was really in pain and he just wanted it to go over, there's no way he was going to fall asleep now. He actually needed to go to the bathroom. He knew he was not going to get up. Lucky a few minutes later the door opened. It was Carol with Doug.
"Hi, you're awake. Peter told me you were sleeping again." Carol smiled.
"I can't really sleep, it's the pain." Carter said.
"You've told Doug, you know we can give you something." Doug said.
"No I haven't, I should have, but I don't know why I didn't tell him." Carter sighed.
"I'll get you something." Doug said and left Carter and Carol alone.
"Thank you for saving my life, Carol." Carter said.
"Carter, you save your own life by not answering your calls." Carol smiled. "I'm just so glad you made it through."
"Me too." He smiled.
Doug came back in the room with a pain reliever. "So that's going to make you feel a little bit better." Doug said and took a seat next to Carol.
"You scared us for a moment." Doug said.
"I heard so." Carter smiled, feeling the pain getting better.
Doug's pager went off. "Well sorry I'm here so in a short time and get well soon, Carter. Work is calling me." Doug said. He kissed Carol and went out of the room.
"Normally nobody should page me, because I'm off for today and I'm exhausted." Carol smiled not only trying to talk about what happened. It must be really hard for him.
"Yeah I can see that." Carter smiled.
Carter yawned. "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing, I guess the meds are working. Get some sleep, Carter. That's not a suggestion, that's an order." Carol smiled.
"I will boss." Carter tried to laugh, but that wasn't a good idea.
"See you later." Carol smiled, stood up and left the room.
