Amber Karev Book 1

Chapter 4: The Glass Castle

(Amber stands at the nurse's station filling out scut when Alex walks up to her)

Alex: Morning

Amber: (Looking at the laptop) Do you mind I have a lot of paperwork to fill out.

Alex: Yeah, I remember scut too, has it gotten to the point where you know what kind of paper it is just by smelling it?

Amber: (Rude) Well charts are electronic now so no I haven't reached that point. What do you want Alex?

Alex: I just came by to check on you, I know you're near your first week and I just wanted to see how you're doing.

(Amber narrows her eyes at Alex)

Amber: (Skeptical) Did Jo put you up to this?

Alex: No, she didn't, can't I check on my little sister without cause for suspicion?

(Amber vaguely shrugs)

Amber: Are the interns treating you fine?

Amber: Except for one douchey one yeah, their fine we mostly keep to ourselves.

Alex: (Sneers) Yeah, I know which douchey one you're talking about. How much do you wanna bet that his crib was solid gold?

Amber: How much do you wanna bet that his parents hired a skilled sex worker for his 16th birthday for him to lose his virginity to?

Alex: That's a little dark.

Amber: I don't know how rich people live or how they raise their kids.

(Hunt comes running to Alex)

Owen: Karev, we've got a GSW on the way, apparently his daughter shot him in the abdomen to protect herself. Police are gonna question her we need you to treat her and get as much info as you can to contact another guardian.

Amber: Oh my god, how old is she and where did she get the gun?

Owen: She's five and the father was gonna go hunting when he started to beat on the little girl, you know how it goes. Are you coming Karev?

Alex: I'm gonna take Amber is that all right?

Owen: Sure, meet me in the pit, eta at 3 minutes.

(Owen ran along with Alex and Amber to the pit)

Amber: (Amber puts on a gown) Are you sure about this? I mean I haven't really worked on trauma yet.

Alex: There's a first time for everything, are you gonna be, okay?

Amber: (Scoffs) Are you?

(The rig pulled up at the driveway putting them into action)

Paramedic: Jason Gilman, 50, GSW to the abdomen three times, he was brady on the way, but we got sinus and is now verbally responsive.

(The gurney was pulled out of the rig revealing an angry man yelling and screaming)

Jason: I'm gonna kill that little bitch! (Screams in pain)

Owen: Let's get him into Trauma 2!

(Owen pushes the gurney inside leaving Alex and Amber)

Alex: Where's the daughter?

Paramedic: Back there (Points to the back where a little girl is crouching behind the seat) We tried to get her to come out, but I think she's scared.

Alex: Yeah, I would be too. (Alex gets inside the ambulance) Hey, my name is Alex what's yours?

(The girl crouched further back even more terrified causing Amber pity)

Amber: Alex, let me try I think she's afraid of male figures so maybe I can help.
