Chapter 4

Two days later
Sage Alister was running around the ER helping her brother with patients. But mostly keeping an eye on him. He still wasn't totally recovered from the MMA fight but he wouldn't let himself be found at his house on the couch watching tv. That just wasn't him.

"Ready for our break?" Drew asked.

As Sage was going to respond however who phone went of.

"Hello" Sage said to the caller on the other end of the line.

"Hey babe I'm, I'm coming home" the man said.

"Dude I said it was over if you went back." She says, Drew could tell the confusion and annoyance in her voice.

"Please just meet me at the 35th street diner at noon tomorrow" he says.

"What was that about" Drew says raising a brow.

"The Ex who went back to Afghanistan is back and wants to meet with me" Sage says.

"You gonna go? I can go with you if you want?" Drew offers.

"Yeah I'd appreciate that" she says. Grateful to have a brother like Drew Sage was. He was always there for her. Even when she didn't think she need him.

"Hey guys" Ananya says entering the tailgate.

"What're you doing this is for night shift staff" Drew asks.

"I'm got another job, part time. I work here taking pictures for posters and billboards that are going to be around town. The senator wants this hospital to be the face of all hospitals here in San Antonio. He wants me to take the pictures and make the posters. But I'm not much great at graphic design so I need to find someone who is" Ananya announces.

"That's so great oh my gosh, and I think I know someone. Sage?" Drew says giving his sister a look.

"I want you to me featured in them" She says to the Alisters.

"Uhhh ok I'll help." Sage says.

"We need patients consent if they are in them though" Drew says.

"I know I have consent forms being given to all patients starting in 30 minutes when your break is over." Ananya says.

"Drew, Sage we need you in the ER stat" Jordan pages.

"Let's roll" Ananya says grabbing her camera bag heading to the ER with the two doctors.

"What do we got?" Drew asks.

"We need you to go out in the chopper. You'll be briefed in the chopper. It's pretty bad they have ambos on scene but they need help."

"Drew grab some meds from the pharmacy I'll grab our bags and coats" Sage says.

"Ananya you gonna go with them?" Jordan asks

"Can I?" Ananya asks

"You're coming" Sage says throwing her an San Antonio memorial firemen like jacket they all were when out in the field.

"Doctors we have a horse riding camp where an illegal hunter was hunting shot a girl of her horse as well as an instructor everyone out there is at risk." the pilot informs them.

"How far will we be from the sight?" Sage asks.

"It's a short hike" the pilot says. "We are almost there though"

Soon enough the helicopter touches down.

"We will radio when we are ready and on our way back so be ready" Drew says to the pilot grabbing his medical bag.

Drew starts to run so Ananya and Sage follow. Ananya stops to take a picture of the doctors running to the scene.

"Shit" Sage says having rolled he right ankle.

"What" Drew questions.

"Ohh nothing" She replies. 

That was when the two doctors and the photographer heard a gunshot. Then another.

"Help" they heard someone yell.

"I'm Dr. Alister this is my brother Drew, he's a doctor too. We are here to help" Sage says bending over to help a young girl who was shot in the left shoulder.

"Drew over here" Ananya yells.

"You guys the docs they sent?" A paramedic asks.

"Both of the Dr. Alisters they are two of the best Anne." The other says.

"Well if it isn't our favorite paramedic. What do you got for us Hollie?" Drew asks.

"The rest of the group headed back" the injured instructor whispers.

"So they are safe?" Sage asks.

"Yeah" Anne responds when another gunshot goes of.

"Shit, Ananya" Sage yells jumping towards the woman shoving her to the ground.

"Sage are you hit?" Drew questions.

No answer. 

"Sage are you ok, did the bullet hit you?"

"It's my knee" Sage cries. "The bullet grazed my shoulder" 

"Let's get outta here" Drew says as everyone is good to go for transport. "You're limping"

"I'm fine just give it a few days" Sage says. "This is Sage start the chopper we have a 27 year old female shot in abdomen. 9 year old female shot in left shoulder."

"Sage was also grazed by a bullet and messed up her knee" Drew reports.

"Drew!" Sage yells mad at her brother.

"Take the abdomen injury to the OR, have Krista do the stitches on the 9 year old" Scott says when the group walks in.

"Sage I wanna see that knee and ankle" Drew demands.

So they make there way to an empty room.

"Change into these" Drew demands handing her a pair of shorts.

So she does. She has KT tape on her leg. She contemplates on wether or not to take it off or not. She doesn't she needs to tell Drew.

"You done?" Drew asks.

"Yeah" Sage replies sitting on the bed. "Drew I need to talk about my knee"

"What happened" he asks noticing the tape on his sisters leg.

"My friend Nikki wasn't the only reason I came home an joined the reserves. I made a small tear in my ACL they sent me home three months before I said I did. That's when I found out and did the rehab physical therapy. I started using tape during PT and continue to. Drew I'm sorry I kept this from you" Sage says.

"Let's take the tape off  and go get you an MRI" Drew says his sister nodding her head. "I'll be right over go wait by the elevator."

"Hey Jordan" drew says walking over to her.

"How is she?" Jordan asks.

"While over seas she tore her ACL a bit so I'm going to make her have an MRI to see if it got worse" Drew says. "But I was wondering if you could run up to PT and have them make strips of tape for her knee and if you'd have the doctors and nurses sign them so she knows we are here for her"

"I'm on it, right after you take her down" Jordan says. "What color?"

"Lime Green" Drew replied and with that he's off to the elevator.
