Savior || The Resident

Chapter 25

Ashley POV

I entered the ER. I just arrived to my shift. I saw Devon, Irving and Bradley talking.

"Hey there boys" I said. They noticed me. "God, watching you boosts up energy in us" Bradley said.

"No wonder why Conrad loves you. You are his spirit animal" Irving said. I shook my head.

"You should see them work together" Devon added.

"It's simple. I'll do anything to save life. He'll do anything to save life. When we work together we ultimately save life" I said.

"This reminds me that I should have had a better life when I was a resident" Irving said.

"Lucky me!" Devon added. My phone beeped.

"Go, we know its your guy" Bradley said. I chuckled and walked away searching for  Conrad.

He actually found me and came towards me. "Hey, spoke to Nic?" He asked.

"Yeah, she told me that she's digging up the old files if Lane. Hope she finds something" I said. He nodded.

I was in the ER with Devon. "So, you and Conrad?" He asked. My eyes went wide.

"Oh my God Devon. Not now" I said. "No, it's just...you both are just...good. Like too good. With or without each other" he said.

"That's because we love what we do. And don't try to be like us. Be better than us. Cause you are" I head. He gave me a smile.

Our pagers started beeping. It kind of seemed urgent. We ran as fast as we could and horror struck us. It was Bradley injured badly with a metal rod implanted in his chest.

"Jesus, what happened?" I asked as we rushed.

"He fell" Conrad said as he checked his chest.

"No output from the chest tube. We have time" I said.

"That metal could be tamponading a major vessel. Could rupture at any moment" Dr. Nolan said.

"We need to figure out what caused the fall before we rush off to the OR" I  said.

"Yeah, and while we discuss that, he dies on his gurney" Conrad said.

"Or he dies under anesthesia cause we don't know his pre existing medical condition" I added.

"He took a header off the roof. It's a suicide attempt" Nolan said.

"You hear hoofbeats, it's a horse, not a zebra" Conrad commented.

"Stop. I don't think he jumped" Devon stopped us.

"The OR is ready for him" the nurse informed.

"He's not ready for OR" Conrad said.

"He's a trauma patient. Trauma attending makes the call, Conrad" Mina said.

"Take him to the OR. I'm gonna scrub in" Nolan said. They moved him when Devon stopped again.

"Wait. Look at his hands and feet. He's posturing" he said. I took my torch and checked his eye.

"Right pupil's blown. Send him for a scan of his brain and Chest. Now" I shouted. They all looked at Nolan cause he's in charge.

"Go. King's always correct" he said. We strolled him.

"Is he even gonna fit into the CT machine with that thing in his chest?" Mina asked.
