Ok, 6th Fic : Hope you guys like this!
Lost !
4-year-old Zoran goes in search of missing bike.
Main Characters : Zoran, Luka and Abby
Ps : DO not own any of the characters (Well Zoran is my creation), although I wouldn’t mind being the owner of Goran Visnjic (he he)
1st- The Bike
Wearing beige cargo shorts and a gray sweater, 4 year Zoran sat in the lounge with the German songbook in his hand and the radio next to him playing the songs from the book.
He carefully inspected the images that illustrated the page of the song that was playing; It was his favorite song; A song Luka sang for him every time he asked and a song he learned in school with his friends.
Zoran wasn’t the only Croatian-American child in his class, there were other 4 boys and 3 girls with him, other children who’s father’s or mother’s believed they should have an European education and since Luka’s mother was German and there was no Croatian school in the US, a German school was way to go!
“Want to ride the bike, while Tata gets a cup of coffee?” Luka opened the door walking into the lounge and grabbing his cell phone from the locker.
Zoran nodded with a smile turning off the radio.
Luka smiled, Zoran was a spit image of himself, everything he had inhered from Luka, except for the smile, which was without a question Abby’s.
Grabbing the children’s bike, Luka followed Zoran out the door and finally out to the bay.
“Where’s Mummy?”
“Mummy is in with a patient” Luka answered settling the bike down and letting Zoran climb on.
“Ok, where do you ride it?” Luka asked staring at Zoran with a serious look as he finished putting the helmet on his son.
“Sidewalk”
“Ok, good!” He smiled. “Off you go”
Drinking his coffee, Luka watched as Zoran rode his bike up to the limit they had established when Luka let him bring the bike the first time.
Finishing up in the trauma, Abby soon joined them outside.
They stayed there for what seemed like hours but had really been only a few minutes.
“Dr Kovac, Ray is looking for you! It’s about the Aids kid” Haley called him in.
Abby though stood outside for another few minutes till Chunny called her in with a new trauma coming in.
“Ok, Zo, Zo, come on, back inside”
“I don’t want to” He whined.
Abby sighed “Come on, Zo Zo, it’s just one more hour. I promise!” She hated when he pouted at her like now; little as it may be, it still hurt her!
She knew he usually loved being here, but small kids with cold, just don’t agree with anything.
“NO!” He hit his foot on the ground. “I want to go home”
“Look, watch one more cartoon and tata or I myself will take you home.”
He looked at Abby considering the situation “1 more”
“Promise”
He walked passed her and back into the ER.
Abby sighed with relief.
And the trauma came racing behind them.
Frank grabbed Zoran as Abby raced in with one of the two MVA victims.
“My Bike” Zoran screamed freeing himself of Frank’s hands and running outside.
Storming out of the Safe place, Zoran couldn’t find his bike.
He stood there for a few minutes staring at the empty space where he’s bike had stood only minutes ago.
“Mr, have you seen my bike?” He stared up at the guy who sold the coffees and hot chocolates.
He shook his head not really paying attention to the 4 year old.
Walking further and further away Zoran stared looking around for his bike, the more he searched, the less he knew and the further away from the ER he got!
“Ok, kiddo, let’s go!” Abby stormed into the lounge to find it empty.
Quickly her eyes searched the room.
Toys thrown around, TV on, songbook opened, no bike, no Zoran!
Fear took over her, in within one second she felt her hear get heavy, her breath get caught in her throat, panic washed over her.
“Jerry where’s Zoran?” She reached the front desk in one second.
“No clue, Frank was the last to hold him while you got in with the trauma.”
“Where’s Frank?”
“Went home!”
“What?!! Where the hell is my son?”
“Try Luka”
“Luka is in with the woman’s daughter” Abby answered searching around, looking even in the waiting room; But no sign.
Abby raced through the halls looking inside every room, every exam, every trauma; the family room, the bathroom, both!
“Hey, ready to go?!” Luka smiled, suddenly taken aback by the look in her eyes.
“Zoran is missing”
“What? That’s not possible. I’m sure… … … …”
“Luka he’s nowhere to be found. I searched everywhere”
“Did you look upstairs?”
“What would he do there?”
“Cosmo sometimes is in day care… … … …”
“Susan’s only on tonight” Her head sunk in disbelieve. How could this be happening? Why? She always told him not o wonder off; both Luka and her had told him zillions of times to let someone know where he was going.
“Maybe… … …”
She suddenly looked back up at him “The bike!”
Luka looked puzzled.
“The bike wasn’t there.” She rushed passed Luka and out the bay, but no sign of Zoran or his bike.
“Hey, have you seen my son. 4 year old, dark brown hair, blue eyes, he was wearing beige cargo shorts and a gray sweater”
“Yeah, he asked me for his bike but I didn’t see where he went”
Luka stormed out “So?”
“He was asking for his bike. … … … I should have taken him home. I should have… … …”
“Abby, come down, I’m sure … … …”
“Luka he wondered off. My four-year-old son who by the way has a temperature is lost somewhere. Don’t tell me to come down” Abby was screaming.
“Abby, your patient is crashing” Jerry rushed out
“Get Morris. He doesn’t do anything anyway”
“I’m looking for him” Abby informed rushing cross the street
“Wait.” But there was no turning her around.
Luka closed his eyes trying to keep his cool. How could this be happening?
He picked up his cell phone.
“Hello? … … Yes, my son is missing. … … … He’s 4 ,… … … Zoran Kovac … … … God, I don’t know… … … 2 hours I think … … … thank you… … … I’m Luka Kovac … … I’m a doctor at County ER … … he went missing here … … … yes! … … f**k YES… … … FINE… … … Thank you”
“Abby wait” He screamed running after her
Somewhere far away from there:
Zoran looked around himself suddenly realizing he couldn’t find he’s way back!
Tears filled his eyes. “Mummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want my mummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
