' I'll kill you' I sipped on my soda ' not before you die with me!' . I changed the TV channel, the movie I was watching was getting too predictable. After finishing my soda I cleaned up the table .

' tomorrow is the day ' I was in a really good mood this evening, my first ever vacation in forever. My bags were packed all set to go.

Baby you and me are a twisted fantasy...

My ringtone song cut in the middle as I picked up the call. It was Hanna. "Hey girl, WhatsUp?"

' hey....um...I won't be able to join you tomorrow '

"Why?" I furrowed my eyebrows, we have been planning this trip for months, and she's chickening out last moment?.

'Its my mom, she fell down the stairs this evening, I would have told you earlier but I was busy with her. Please forgive me, but as you know, my dad died years ago so there's no one to take care of her. Don't worry, you go enjoy okay?'

I can understand what she is going through, taking care of her mother should be her priority after all. "Okay, but you take care of yourself too, if you need any help, call me, I'll ask my friends to help you while I'm away" I ended the call.

I started going through my luggage one more time to check if I left something, my eyes suddenly stopped on the travel friendly surgical box I had 'why did I packed this again?' The box contained all kinds of equipment with which you can perform an emergency surgery. "Once a doctor, always a doctor I guess" I chuckled to myself and kept it in the luggage once again.

It has been my habit since joining med school to carry around equipments I'm capable of using, it had helped many times too.

The luggage was done going through, now really all set to go. I did my night routine and went to bed. ' I'm so excited for tomorrow '. I closed my eyes, soon drifting to sleep.

I held my straw hat to prevent it from flying away by the gust of wind. I reached the beach 10 minutes ago from where my ship will leave, now I'm waiting in the boarding line.

This ship was not too big, it contained around 30 passengers in total, it is very pricy, but after years of not going on tours, its justified that I spend money on myself.

I settled down in my designated room. The room was simple, not too big, just the way I like.

The day went perfectly how I wanted my vacation to be. Classy breakfast, reading book in peace, watching the sea, exploring the ship, meeting new people, luxury lunch. Soon evening was near, the sun almost setting making the sky a mixture of golden and pink.

The cool breezes with the red wine in my hand tasted so good. 'What the?' I squinted my eyes to get a clear look of what I was seeing. I leaned a bit with the railing's support "I saw correct!" I gasped.

The next half hour went in a blink of an eye, I put my glass down and ran to the security, it was a man, a man was drowning in the sea. Rescue was soon dispatched, within 20 minutes or so the man was bought up on the ship.

"Is there any doctor here?!" One of the passengers shouted after realizing that the crew were not that much of help. "I am, please move and give him some space" I said coming forward.

The man was wearing a white shirt which is almost see through now, defining his abs, and black trousers. The shirt was almost red with the blood smeared on it. The man was alive, scratch that, he was half conscious.

I quickly knelt down to his level and started to push his chest to take out water from his mouth. After some time , the water was all out, he was breathing heavily as if he's gonna die. I quickly concluded the CPR would be the best choice for now, I held his chin and connected our lips. Few rounds were enough to stable him a bit "You're doing great ok? Please stay with me, you'll be alright " I said to him as encouraging words, thats when he lost his senses. Panicking a bit , I opened his shirt to look at the wound on his waist, a small deep hole was there, oozing out blood.

"We need to perform surgery right now! There's a bullet inside his body, please look for other doctors in passengers if there is and bring hot water with lots of clean towel. Take him and lay him down on a comfortable surface, I'll be back in a minute. " with that I ran off to my room, rummaging through my bad I found my emergency kit 'another day when you come in handy'. I ran back.

"There are no other doctors mam. All the requested things are done, he is in that room" One of the crew said. I sighed and opened the door. I mumbled to myself.

"Once a doctor, always a doctor"
