*Mallory*

"Hey, chief," Brooke smiled as I walked in after clocking in.

"Hey yourself," I chuckled as I approached the desk, pulling my white coat on.

After having the weekend off with Nikki at a new lake house (we got it a year after getting married), its really helped us relax a little bit.

I also talked to him about how I was considering going off the Prozac, to which after discussing it we decided to talk with my therapist on weaning me off of it, or what the best option could be.

"How was your weekend?" Brooke asked me.

"Refreshing and well needed," I smiled, then sighed. "Now, back to reality."

"Sucks," she snickered, making me roll my eyes with a smile.

"How's it been so far?" I asked. "Anything new?"

"Not much for now," she said, taking the clipboards and reading through them. "We got a severe peanut allergy on a guy, he almost went into anaphylactic shock.... A skateboarding crash on a teenager on his way to school that just came in an hour ago, but he's mostly got a concussion and sprained wrist and we're waiting on his mom, and...... Oh, and an OD case from last night, she's still in recovery, though," she said.

"Another one? That's the 5th one in less than 2 weeks. God, what's with people lately?" I said, taking the file she handed me.

"The world's gone to shit," she shrugged. "She was pretty out of it from what I heard, but her high should be almost gone by now."

I sighed as I read through the report. "Denise Matthews, 34, took a speedball, no coding.... Paramedics did administer one 10 mg shot of adrenaline when she became unresponsive in the ambulance..... She got lucky."

"Yeah..... I have her on fluids now, despite her high coming down, she still seemed pretty on edge," she said.

"Okay, I'll take it from here. Have Allie prep the MRI room for the teen once his mother arrives, and as for the peanut guy, administer another dosage of epinephrine if he has any discomfort, but page Dr. James for more insight since it looks like the guy has a history of asthma according to his file, so do that and also have him on oxygen for a little while, just in case," I said, handing her the clipboard.

"Got it," She nodded as I walked over to the urgent care center, finding the curtain the patient was said to be in and walked in as I continued looking through the clipboard.

"Miss Matthews, I'm Chief Nurse Sixx, and I'll be your caretaker for the da-"

"Mallory?" a familiar voice cut me off and I looked up, freezing at who laid on the bed, connected to an IV and heart monitor.

"Fucking hell...." I said in complete shock. "Vanity?"

She gulped and nodded, looking down. "Y-Yeah..."

She was pale and flushed, connected to an IV giving her fluids, a familiar bruise forming over her chest.

I sighed as I pursed my lips. "First Nikki's mom is lurking around Los Angeles and then here you are..... now I'm scared of who else the universe is going to send my way."

"Not like this was on purpose," she mumbled, looking away.

"Well, accident or not, Vanity, there was still a lot of fentanyl and cocaine in your system," I said with a scold as I look at the results of her blood work. "Charts here say you had enough to take out an entire herd of elephants."
