Kickdrum Beating in My Chest Again (Alternate Version)

Chapter 74

!!!!!!!!!!!Author's Note!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Friday (technically Saturday) everyone! I hope everyone had a good week. Mine was fine. My condition seems to be getting better and we have a plan now, so that makes me feel better. I feel like I'm starting to come out of the fibromyalgia flare that it threw me into and I have more motivation to do things again, so that is good.

This week, Spencer isn't happy about how long it will take the doctors from the prison to get there and help them. He informs Patrick of this and he's overwhelmed. They get the first round of patients and are immediately overloaded. Gabe and Brad bring back Jesus and seriously mess with his mind.

Pay attention to the tags on this one. This chapter involves some religious subjects, not all of which are shared by me. If these things trigger you, skip that part. Please don't hate me for where I ended this chapter too. If I hadn't split it up, it would've been a VERY long chapter.As always, enjoy, tell your friends and if you like it, please feel free to vote on my story or leave me a comment. If you'd like to discuss the story with me, you can find me on tumblr @dancecoaster. Happy reading! 

Chapter 74

*******Trigger Warning for Religious Subjects, Graphic Violence, Description of Medical Injuries, and Gore*******

Spencer hangs up the phone, closes the door to his office, and starts yelling obscenities to vent his frustration.

"FUCK!!!!! FUCK!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!" Spencer yells as he pounds his fists on his desk.

"Two hours? We are about to get at least sixty patients, and help won't be here for two hours? How the hell am I going to deal with this? I can't treat that many patients all at once! Even if they were staggered, that would still be pushing it, and if I know Gabe, the vast majority of them would have very serious injuries! FUCK!!!!!!!" Spencer yells as he starts punching one of the pillows on his couch.

Spencer keeps venting for two more minutes before he sits down, takes a deep breath, and tries to calm himself down. He doesn't have time for this right now. He will have to try to keep it together, so his patients don't panic. He takes another minute to center himself, and then stands, opens the door to his office and heads to the recovery room to let Patrick know that the patients will be there any minute and to get prepared.

"Hey Patrick, medical transport just informed me that the first wave of patients will be here shortly." Spencer explains.

"Have they already been separated into groups of serious patients and less serious patients?" Patrick asks.

"I don't believe so. We will have to sort them as they come in. I will send you the ones that aren't as serious. You can stay here. Andy also called the hospital and said that they can send four doctors, but they can't be here for two hours because there was a big accident on the freeway and all the victims were sent there." Spencer shares.

"Excuse me? He said what now? They can't be here for two hours? How is that going to work? We can't handle that many patients!" Patrick comments.

"I am aware of that. That is the situation, we will have to try to do our best until help arrives. The hospital did send us ambulances though, so there's that." Spencer retorts.

"How many survivors have they found so far?" Patrick asks.

"Right now, sixty. That number will probably go up though as they continue sifting through the rooms." Spencer answers.
