“Reuniting With The Past” part II by: Alexandra

Mark walked down the hallway until he came to the lounge door and heard Elizabeth’s voice arguing at someone. Being a bit worried he rushed in.

“What’s going on in here??!! Who are you?”

Elizabeth immediately turned around knowing the familiar voice that had just spoken.

“Mark, I...um...was just going to escort this man out.”

As she said that Michael went straight up to Mark and said, “Hello, please forgive Bethy’s grumbling, I’m sure you heard it in the hallway. My name is Michael. Bethy and I go way back. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance Dr. um...”

“Greene!” Elizabeth shouted. “His name is Dr. Greene, now if you’ll be on your way.”

With that Michael began to leave. When he got to the door he turned around and said, “I’ll call you later Bethy, you can be sure of that.”

Elizabeth sat down on the couch and put her hands over her face. Mark was a still a bit confused. He sat down right next to Elizabeth and put his arm around her to try and comfort her.

“What was that all about?” Mark said softly.

Elizabeth looked up at him, then looked at her watch, “I’ve got a partial gastrectomy in 15 minutes. Lets talk later.”

“Sure.”

About four hours later a trauma came through the back doors and Elizabeth was called down.

“What have we got?” Elizabeth said as she felt her adrenaline start to pump up.

“Name’s Olivia Shivly, she was found in her apartment beaten up pretty badly. Looks like she tried to OD. Multiple lacerations, head-lack, B/P’s 102/54, pulse 124.”

“Ok take her to trauma 2.” said Mark.

“Intubation trey?”, Elizabeth said. “I’m in”

“She’s going into V-FIB! Pressures down to 70 systolic!”, said Lily.

“Charge the paddles. Lily start CPR!”

“Clear!”

“Still V-FIB!”

“Charge to 300 now!”

“Paddles ready.”

“Clear.”

“Ok I’ve got a pulse.” Olivias eyelids started to flutter open.

“Olivia, do you know what happened?” Elizabeth said softly.

“No, I’m still a little foggy. I remember getting into a fight with my boyrfriend, Jimmy. I was really depressed. So I took some sleeping pills.” she looked around. “Why did you help me?? I...I wanted to die!” she said as she started to cry.

Fighting back tears Elizabeth said, “Well you’re going to be ok now. You’re safe here.”

“No you don’t understand, he’ll find me and bring me back to him, just like he’s done before. There’s no way I can get out of this! It’s like he’s trapped me and I can never get out!!!”

“I do understand. I know exactly what you’re going through.” she whispered. “Now you should get some rest, you’re going to need it.”

She stood up and turned around to leave and noticed that Mark was still in the room. She was stunned.

“Elizabeth???”

“Mark...I...”
