7: The crash

Today we had another 48 hours shift.
As I arrived to the hospital, I went up to Edwards to tell her that she could scrub in with me on an important surgery today.
'Remember, that craniotomy?'
'Oh, yes I do. Shall I prep her for you?'
'Yes please, thanks Edwards.' I walked out of the room.
I had to remove a tumor that was located in the part of the brain that you use for your memory. These kinds of surgeries are always tricky because the patient could lose hers.
'Sometimes I wish that I could lose a part of mine.' I whispered to myself.
'What were you saying there, Shepherd?' Kepner said to me.
'Oh, uh, nothing... I'm free for now do-'
'Yeah, I kinda need you for a consult in the ER. It is urgent.'
'Okay.' I put my ipad down and ran after April.
'Here we are.' She said. 'The patient just came in, and he might have brain trauma.'
'Alright. Let me see.' I took my light and said: 'Follow the light for me please... Alright, both pupils are reactive.'
'No brain trauma.' I said to Kepner.
'Okay, thanks. Go to trauma 2 with him.' She said to an intern.
It was a rough day today at GSMH. Bailey had paged me to her office.
'Ah Shepherd, good you're here.'
'What can I do for you?'
She stood up, wanting to ask me something delicate.
'I know that you are very busy today. I've seen the surgical board. But, I really need you to be somewhere else right now. Will there be people that can take over your surgeries?'
'Uh, yes, I guess I can make that happen. But where and why do you need me?' I was very curious to find out.
'You haven't heard the news, have you..'
'Uhh, no?'
'There was this huge train accident that happened. We are sending ambulances and you are needed there to help people because most of them will probably have head fractures.'
'Alright, what now..'
'Walk with me please.' Bailey said, and I followed her to the ER.
'So, put this on.' She handed me a coat from the hospital and gave me a kit with all the things I needed to take care of some patients over there already.
'Call me if you need anything alright? And I'll take care of your surgeries. Now get in there.' She pointed to the ambulance.
'Okay, thanks.' I said with doubts. I had a feeling something was not right.
Why would they even send me alone? I hope the accident isn't too bad, she did not even inform me of the amount of people.
I was in the back of the ambulance by myself as I was tapping the floor with me left foot. I always do this when I am nervous.
I know that I can handle this, but somehow fear always creeps up on me.
After a few minutes I felt the ambulance slow down. We had arrived to our destination.
The driver opened the door for me and led me out.
'Thanks.'
Alright, let's do this. I thought by myself.
As I tried to take up the whole scenery in my head, my vision cleared and so I could take up all of it.
The train was of its tracks and on its side. There was also a part that had caught on fire but the firemen were already taking care of that. Everywhere I heard people screaming and shouting the worst things. I really wanted to run to them, but my feet felt like the were stuck to the ground with gum. I froze. I did not know where to go first because of all the patients that I could treat.
After a minute of thinking I ran up to the first person I saw that was hurt.
'Ma'am, I am Dr. Shepherd. I am going to help you. Just lay down for me please.'
She was not doing what I asked. 'It was horrible, there was blood everywhere! I don't know what to do!' She kept rambling on and I could not stop her, she was probably still in shock.
'Alright, let me take you to the ambulance. Were you alone on the train?'
'Yes, yes, yes, yes...' She mumbled.
I took her to the ambulance and they drove away. Next one.
I decided that I wanted to get closer to the train, since there were the most severe traumas.
There was this kid that I saw, alone. It seemed like she didn't had any injuries but she seemed lost. I walked up to her.
'Hey..' She stared at me.
'Did you lose someone, honey? Are you alright?'
'Mommy..' She started hysterically crying.
'Oh come here..' I took her hand and looked around.
'What's your mommy's name?' I asked.
'Anna.' She said, still crying.
'And what was your mommy wearing today?' I tried to calm her but it didn't really work.
'A blue jacket.' She said.
'Alright, then I am going to find your mommy, together with you alright? But you have to be strong for me okay?'
She nodded. I've always had a big heart for kids but I really couldn't leave this one by herself.
'Anna?!' I shouted whilst looking around for a woman with a blue jacket.
After a few minutes, I was already carying the kid and still shouting. I ran up to a paramedic and asked if they maybe had seen the woman that this little girl was looking for.
'Yes! I think we have! A woman just got in the ambulance, not with a long of injuries. I'm sure she'll survive! But she said that she had lost her daughter and did not want to go to the hospital.'
'But she went..'
'Yes, we made her.'
I turned to the girl and reassured her that 'this nice guy' would take her to her mommy right away. 'She's already gone with one of those cool cars!' I said, pointing at an ambulance.
'Will, you take the kid to her mother? Please?' I asked.
'Alright then. Just for the kids sake.'
'Thank you! And you're sure that she's really her mother?'
'Yes. Yes I am.'
'Alright then.'
I hugged the girl goodbye and wished her the best of luck. 'You can now go with this nice man to you mommy.'
He took the mans hand and they walked away. I was very happy thay I could at least make one person happy here.
I again ran up to the train, I got pretty close. Suddenly slowely but surely I felt heat coming towards me and I shut my eyes. It was so hot that I couldn't bare it. It litteraly blew me off my feet, as I heard a very loud bang. It sounded like an explosion. The pressure of the explosion made me land on the ground a few meters further. It felt like my face was buring like crazy and my head hurt too. Shit.

Owen's POV:
Today was a busy day in the trauma rooms. There were a lot of victims of the train crash. After a few minutes, also burnvictims had started to arrive in the ER. I did not know if it was from the same accident though.
Then Meredith called my name.
'Yeah?'
'Owen, you have to see this.' She pointed to the tv screen. On the BBC news they showed this massive explosion.
'Oh my god.' Bailey said with her hands in front of her mouth.
'I know this is crazy..' I said.
Bailey stood there, frozen.
'Miranda, what's going on?' Kepner said, running up to her and joining us.
'Uuh, Amelia is.. there..' She mumbled and it seemed like it took her forever to finish her sentence.
'What?!' I yelled out, a little bit too loud. Everyone was staring at me now.
'Yes, yes, I sent her to go and help some victims!'
'You sent her to the train?' Meredith said, also worried and linking everything together.
'Yes, but wait.. Let me call her.' Miranda said. She nervously took her phone out of her pocket, looked for Amelia's number and pressed 'call'.
The phone was ringing but no one answered.
'Voicemail..' She stutterd.
'Shit.' Meredith let out. 'Sorry.'
'Let me try.' I said, wanting her to be okay.
I took my phone and dialed her number.
No one answered.
'Shit! Amelia!' I said, not wanting a single thing to happen to my girlfriend.
'We should call the paramedics that are there..'
Meredith said.
'I'll do so!' I said and looked for the phonenumbers.
Right now, only Meredith knew what hell I was going trough. Amelia was my everything, and she knew it.
She put a hand on my shoulder whilst I was calling the paramedics.
'Why can't a single fucking person answer their stupid phone?!' I let out.
Bailey looked at me weirdly.
