"Valerie, Are you certain you want to go to work today?" Why not stay at home?" While parked outside her sister's apartment building, Vega said to her sister.

"I can't afford to take any days off because I need to work," Valerie buckled her seat belt.

"Valerie, you've only been in the car for two minutes and you already seem exhausted. In fact, the air conditioning is turned on."

"Can you even get to the bus by yourself?" Vega asked.

"I wouldn't have called you if I could."

"Then stay at home," Vega yelled.

"Mavis I already have a headache, and I don't need you to aggravate it. "So, please start driving the car," Valerie shouted back. then rubbed her head with her hand

"I'm sorry. I'm not going to do anything strenuous today." Valerie took a deep breath and said, "I'll be in the tech room with Mouse."

"Okay, but I don't want to get a call telling me you passed out today. or see you in the ER unless it's to question a suspect," Mavis noted.

Deal Valerie gave a nod.

..........

Valerie was dropped off in the 21st district. Mavis parked her car and went to the ED, where she saw Ethan walking to his car.

Good morning Dr. Choi, she said as she walked through the parking lot.

"Good morning, Dr. Vega." He said

The sound of a man's voice drew both of their attention.

Help! Help anyone!

"I need help here!" The man yelled as he was carrying a girl in his arms with blood all over her pants. Ethan and Mavis wasted no time in reaching the man with the young girl.

"I got her, I got her, I got her," Dr. Choi repeated as he cradled the injured girl in his arms. the three of them rushed to the ED.

"She's bleeding from somewhere," Dr. Choi informed Maggie as they rushed in.

"Trauma two. Get your asses over here," Maggie orders.

"Who is she? What happened?" Maggie questioned the man who had brought her in as Ethan and Mavis helped the girl into the room. and the nurses rushed in.

Mavis had not yet changed into her scrubs, but she gloved up and assisted Ethan in treating the patient.

"I don't know. I just found her a couple of blocks away," the man pointed in the girl's direction.

"Let's get her on the monitor," Dr. Vega ordered. She grabbed a stethoscope and began using it to listen to the girls heartbeat and listen to her pulse.

Conner then walked into the room putting gloves over his hands. "Where is the bleeding coming from?" he asked.

"Working on it," Dr. Choi said.

"HR 130. BP's at least 90. I've got a radial pulse," Dr.Vega said as she looked at the monitor behind her.

"All right get two lines," Dr. Rhodes said. "On it," Sexton said.

"Get an I-STAT ABG and send labs. Make sure we type and cross"

"Can you hear me? can you tell me what happened?" Dr. Vega asked the girl as she saw she was conscious and able to pen her eyes.

"The blood .... Did you get shot?" but the girl didn't answer just blinked.

As Ethan and April removed the girl's clothes, it was realized that she was bleeding from an umbilicalcord.
