Chapter 11
Abby twisted the pen in her hand and then started tapping it on the patient's chart and her mind wandered as Haleh watched on.
'Abby..I think Dr Weaver asked you to review this patient and get back to her pronto...'
Abby snapped back to reality and began writing up her notes...she smiled briefly at the patient and then began heading back to the desk.
"Abby...what's up..?"
Haleh stood there with her hands in her pockets and waited for Abby to reply......and Abby hesitated before talking.
"I don't know....I mean ..since Carter took off to Africa and me going through all this back to studies stress ..I kind of feel wiped out and on edge...like I need a drink or something..."
Haleh shakes her head and then grabs her by the arm.
"C'mon..it's not worth it.....how about a coffee instead..?"
Abby stood her ground for a second and let out a sigh.
"I mean why didn't he tell me he was going...he told everyone else ..but not me...why?...did he want to hurt me on purpose and then come back and let me grovel...I don't understand why he kept it such a big secret and why he feels the need to go all the way to Africa and why in god's name he has hooked up with Luka...I thought those two really struggle to hit it off.."
Haleh nods slowly ...but it's not comforting and the silence from her lips tells Abby everything she needs to know..it's her fault that Carter left and he couldn't tell her because he didn't want an argument and for her to make it all about her...which she knows is what would have happened.
Meanwhile in Africa...........
Luka looks at his watch and stretches out in bed... well as far as you can in a small camp bed...his feet dangle just over the edge and he wears socks to compensate although he hoped the mosquito nets would conquer most of problem. Luka put his hands behind his head and yawned...one more minute and he would drag himself out of bed..he had been in the northern camp for two days now and the work was endless and he knew Carter would arrive today and that Deb one of the Red Cross workers would bring him out in the jeep from Base camp. He was surprised when Carter sent word he was coming..but Luka had already committed to coming here so the plan was hatched that Gillian and Deb would put him to work in Base camp and then bring him here later...it would be good to see a familiar face even Carter's. "Argh..." Luka groaned as he got out of bed..it was time to start the day.
To be continued...

Chapter 12
Luka laughed as Carter tried to walk in a straight line..it was hopeless and they both knew it.
"I'm not drunk...it is just a crooked line that you drew in the sand"
Carter fell over and struggled like a turtle on it's back..he sighed as he looked up at the sky and counted a couple of stars.
Luka staggers over and lies down next to him.
"It's different to County isn't it..I mean it is still hard work but you feel like you are really helping people out here..."
Carter turns to look at Luka and smiles.
"Yeah....you do some good then at the end of the week you kick back and let loose and then it hits you.."
Luka kind of shrugs and tilts his head.
"What do you mean...?"
Carter sits up suddenly and rests his head in his hands.
"I miss Abby...and my month is nearly up so I have to go home and face her and probably do a lot of grovelling."
Luka nods knowingly.
"Aah you might want to pick her up something from Duty Free on your way through..something she really wants like a carton of cigarettes."
Carter screws his face up and relishes the thought of seeing Abby again.
"What about you Luka...when are you coming home...?"
Luka sits up and shakes his head..he picks up a stick and plays with it in the sand and draws a heart shape before scratching it back out again.
"I am happy here John.....I might sign up for longer...I don't know if Weaver even cares if I come back to County or not..."
Carter looks at him and then pats him on the shoulder.
"Sure she does...we all want you back...but you seem so down lately and we all thought this trip would do you good and get you to re focus....hell it worked for me..."
Luka took a deep breath and then exhaled..he had enjoyed Carter's company and he was actually going to miss him and felt like they had formed a bit of a bond while working over here and for the first time in a long time he felt like he had a friend.....he knew Abby was his friend...but this was different.
Carter finally stood up and got his balance and bid a goodnight to Luka before trapezing back to his quarters and Luka sat there a bit longer before a familiar voice beckoned him.
"Luka....Luuuka..are you coming to bed...I didn't come up here just to work you know.."
It was Gillian...she had not initially planned to come up to the northern camp...but on a whim she eventually made her way here hoping that Luka was glad to see her....and for now..he was.
"I will be there in a minute...I just want to look at the stars a bit longer..."
Luka lies back and stares up into the sky....for some strange reason all he could think about now is Abby...he rolls over and picks up the stick and draws another heart shape in the sand and this time he draws her name in it.
To be continued...........

Chapter 13
Abby squeezed her eyes shut and grabbed the tiniest of nano naps... it was chaos in the ER and the tiny fragment of news that came through earlier was all she needed to keep going Luka was alive and on a charter flight and would be arriving at County in the morning ....she needed to stay awake and she needed to keep busy. The last month had been hell..the fights with Carter,the news that Luka was missing and feared dead and then Carter's crazy idea to go back and find Luka....it was all too much and the only salvation she had lately was a packet of cigarettes and a seemingly endless mug of coffee. A hand squeezed her shoulder and a familiar voice was soothing as she searched through a box of dressings.
"He is coming home and he will be fine...."
Abby stood still and sighed out loud as Haleh's words resonated in her head.
Haleh took the box off her and noticed a single tear rolling down her cheek...she knew Abby still harbored some feelings for Luka and she also knew how hard it had been for Abby lately especially since her and Carter seem to have dissolved although Abby was yet to face Carter and tell him they were over.... but it was inevitable in Haleh's mind.
"You need to take a break Abby...go and clear your head..we'll be fine for a while."
Abby nodded slowly and decided against arguing as she really did feel the need to get some clarity.
"Thanks Haleh..."
Abby headed out toward the ambulance bay..she needed that nicotine hit she had been trying to control but with her mind racing at the thought of Luka and Carter coming home she found her hand shaky and as she pulled the cigarette out of the packet she dropped it into a puddle of water.
"Dammit...." she looks in her packet.
"That was my last one.."
Abby crumbles the packet up in her hand and vigorously tosses it in a trashcan nearby.
"Great....this is great....typical and great..."
Abby sniffs away another tear as it rolls down her cheek and onto her lip..she hated feeling like this emotional and angry at the same time...she wanted the night to end and the morning to come...she wanted him to be here now.

I apologize for delay...but here is an update. Chapter 14 The gurney didn't seem to be moving that fast and she should have had time to go over and say hello before he went upstairs but all Abby managed to do was get a glimpse of Luka as the elevator doors closed and the image of him surrounded by staff and a mystery female suddenly burned bright in Abby's head.
"Dammit...I missed him..."
Abby stood there for a minute and stared at the closed doors...she sighed heavily and squeezed her hand into a fist and banged it against her head.
"I am such a coward....it's just to say hello... and we are friends and Carter isn't around anyway to make me feel awkward "
Her voice trailed off as she suddenly acknowledged in her head that Carter in fact wasn't around. The elevator seemed to take forever to come back and as she waited for the doors to open she thought of different scenarios as to why Carter wasn't with Luka when he arrived at the hospital and what explanation he would have to tell her when he finally arrives. The elevator doors open and Abby steps back as an orderly pushes a patient out in a wheel chair..Abby smiles at them as she moves way and they oblige and smile back . Abby walks into the elevator and presses the button to go up..she puts her hands in her pockets and shrugs her shoulders up as far as they go..it was a nervous habit.
"Why am I so rattled about seeing Luka....he is alive I should be happy and pleased to see him..."
The elevator comes to a halt and the doors open and Abby steps out to an empty hallway..she looks around curiously and wonders which room he is in as she begins to walk along the hall.
"Looking for me...?"
A chill rushes up Abby's spine as she hears the voice..she turns and walks toward the room across from her and sees Luka sitting up in bed and the mystery woman perched on a stool beside him.
"Hey Luka.... you look like hell"
Luka smiles at her and motions her to come in.
"Abby....this is Gillian...."
To be continued............
