Slow Way Home
Chapter 22

[Day 29 of 45]

"Damn it, how many more?" McCoy asked as four more members of Engineering were brought in after an explosion. At least a dozen personnel had been already brought in, two with serious injuries while most had superficial wounds, or wounds that could be put off for the short term but not long term while helping those with serious injuries.

"Five," a voice called and he turned to see Kirk – that stupid kid – helping escort a Vulcan in. She had burns on her face and there was green blood on her outfit.

"Kirk," McCoy growled.

"He needs serious medical help," Kirk said while leading the Vulcan to a bed as another Vulcan helped her. He could see the Vulcan they were carrying was barely conscious and his instincts as a doctor kicked in. He rushed to the man and began scanning him.

The wound was near a major blood vessel and he was loosing the green fluid rather quickly. No wonder Kirk had it all over her.

Before he could tell Kirk to stay she was gone out the door and he swore.

"Ellen, contact the Commander, tell him to find his wife and return her to the Infirmary before I chase her down and sedate her into next week!" McCoy growled before taking the Vulcan into surgery. She was working on a minor dermal injury on a Denobulan Patient.

"Will do, McCoy," she called.

It was going to be a long day.

[Thank you for reading and I just saw the new movie and I've got to say... I've been inspired to work on this story again. Hence the Chapter dump though these last two aren't quite as long as I would like. Anyways, thank you for reading and sticking with me this far despite my less than steady updates. Also, special thanks to everyone who has reviewed, they are much appreciated. Special thanks to beauty0102 (2xs), MirrorFlower and DarkWind (2xs), T'Preea, Hunnybe13, Fire Dolphin, CHANCEGAMBIT, Hikaru Uchida, Yana5, animechick1998, and Rndm Peep for reviewing. Thanks to the new movie I have an idea for a story after this one between the events of Movie One and the new movie but I'm going to let you guys decide if I go with it... who would like to see Spock Prime's Children - Kiri, Asil, and Tibby - somehow either in flashbacks or actually there? Well, until next time... thank you again.]
