Provenza walks quickly down the long hall to the emergency waiting room. God, how he hates hospitals. He rounds the corner and finds Flynn already waiting for him. "How is she? Do you know when I can see her?"
"Where's Rusty and Sanchez?" Provenza asks, ignoring Andy's questions. "Parking the car, they dropped me off. I think…"the words catch in Andy's throat as he looks down and comes to the realization of what his partner is holding. "No! No...No… No!" he cries trying to pull the 3 evidence bags from Provenza's hands. "Andy, it's just procedure, it doesn't mean… it… she… Christ! Andy, stop it! Just stop it. You can't act like this what if Rusty comes in and hears you!"
Backing away Andy sinks down into the nearest chair. "I don't know if I can handle this. I don't know if I can handle if she doesn't make…"
"Andrew Flynn, is there an Andrew Flynn here for Captain Raydor?"
They both turn to the sound of the young doctor heading toward them. "I'm Andy Flynn. Is she ok? Please I'm going crazy here."
"Very lucky, extremely lucky. She was in shock when she arrived. She's lost a moderate amount of blood but the wound itself will not require surgery. She has some bad bruising to her right hand and her wrist is fractured. Her ankle, where the rope was attached is sprained and severely bruised. She was also dehydrated. But, our main concern, beside the blood loss is the concussion she sustained at, I'm guessing the beginning of her ordeal. Because it wasn't treated properly at the onset, we are going to have to wait and see how her body responds. The quicker she regains consciousness the better I will feel."
"Sharon and I share the same rare antigen, so I can give blood for her. But, when can I see her?" Andy asks, the part about the rope playing over and over in his mind.
Leading Flynn down the hall with Provenza trialing behind the doctor explains, "Let's get your blood drawn so we can get that going for her. As her medical proxy there are some papers you need to sign." "Wait, what? I'm not her medical proxy, her son Rusty…" Flipping thru the papers in his hand the doctor interrupts, "Mr. Flynn, on the form updated by Captain Raydor on January 23rd of this year she list you first, followed by a Rusty Beck and then Gavin Baker. As they continue down the hall Andy looks back to see if Provenza was listening. The both shrug at each other and continue behind the doctor.
As Andy gives blood Provenza questions him about how he knew they have the same blood type. As Andy explains that Sharon told him, Provenza is just more confused. "But how did she know?"
"Remember several years ago when I got stabbed? Back when she was still in FID… She offered to give blood for me then. Of course I didn't know it until she told me one night at dinner last year. We should all be ashamed of how we treated her back then. She was just as kind and caring then, we were all just to blind to see it."
"What's this whole proxy thing? I take it from your reaction that you didn't know."
"Yeah, that was a surprise. We had a conversation one night not too long after she adopted Rusty and she told me then that she was adding him. She wanted to know if I would help him if the time came and he needed it, but she didn't mention adding me. Of course a lot has changed since then," Andy replies sheepishly.
"Look Andy, I need to prepare you before you go in to see her. She… She was really banged up in there."
"Louie, do you really think the bastard raped her?" Andy asks, his eyes filling with tears.
"I can't lie to you Andy, from everything we saw in that room, I think there is a possibility but we will just have to wait and find out."
