Chapter 4 of 12
-HLN-
Carlisle makes it to work within 15 minutes of leaving home. It's a madhouse when he arrives and he gets right to work. The first two patients he sees are minor, needing just stitches and he quickly turns those over to an intern. His third and fourth, both need further tests; a CT scan and x-rays.
He's on his fifth patient when the commotion in the ER seems to double. Nurses are running around and he wonders what is going on, but he doesn't have time to stop and ask questions. If he's needed they'll come for him.
He is about finished with the assessment of his patient when the noise level outside his room increases once again. His head comes up in time to see a gurney fly by and his eyes widen at the amount of personal surrounding it. He can't tell where the patient begins and the nurses and doctors end.
But then he tilts his head slightly and he can just make out a lock of dark brown hair hanging limply over the side of the stretcher. His heart stutters through it's next beat, but then he shakes the thought away. It can't be her. It's just his nightmare rearing it's ugly head again.
However, a moment later his heart drops into his stomach. If he had only looked down to his patient instead of up, he would have had a few more seconds of believing that she is fine. But he didn't look down, and he knows that no matter what happens from this moment on, the sight of his brother-in-law covered in blood and standing there with a look of absolute devastation on his face will be burned into his brain for the rest of his life.
