Chapter 10: Ebola
Abby went to the the room of supplies, followed by the other doctors... she had a few salines in front of her...
' So, I think that we have to stop treat the symptoms alone and prepare a cocktail, like from AIDS... ' she said.
' But where do we going to find the medicines here ? They are so much expensive... ' said Kem.
' We're going to use what we got here... ' she said. ' Tylenol, Aspirin, Vicodine... '
' But some of the medicines don't “ robs ” the use of the other ? ' asked John.
Abby looked at them...
' We're going to put this kind of medicines in different salines... ' she said. ' The results may be different... some may look better than the others, but this is a temporary solution till they find what type of disease is causing the fever... ' she said.
' But we don't have much of this Abby... ' said Luka.
' I know... ' she said. ' Let's just concentrate on the healthier for now... we can't do anything more to the most sicker, not with what we have here... '
' You're crazy... ' said one of the doctors. Luka looked at him, with a raised eyebrow.
' It makes sence... ' he said. ' And since we aren't making any progress, why don't try other things ? '
' This won't work... ' he insisted.
' Well, it's a long shot, but at least we tried... ' said Abby.
' Try anything you want... I won't participate on this... ' he said, walking away.
Others did the same...
The group of four was silent for a moment. They didn't move... Luka sighed and walked towards Abby... he picked a syringe and a bag of saline, in each hand and put the liquid of the syringe into the saline's.
He looked at Abby and smiled. She looked at him with a thankful look. Then John nodded and did the same... Abby knew she always could count on him...

It passed four days since the administrations of the medicines... three more people died... but the others were doing well... and their medicines were almost in the end...
Abby sit in a chair, beside Luka in a corridor...
' Do you think they are going to call us ? ' she asked quietly.
The dateline from the government were two days ago...
' I think so... the MSF won't leave us behind... ' said Luka putting a hand on her back. ' Are you ok ? '
' Yeah... better than I hoped for... ' she said. ' Did we do the right thing or gave them a false hope ? '
Luka leaned to the front, his arms on his legs, in the same position she was in...
' Abby... we tried our best with the supplies we had... ' he said. ' It was the right thing... but if we gave them a false hope, they at least know that we tried... '
She nodded and looked at her hands...
' Look, I know that you're her for about sixteen days... ' she started. ' But I want you to know that I like you... '
He smiled.
' A lot... ' she said, looking at him.
He was about to kiss her, when suddenly, John appeared running on the corridor...
' Sorry to break this moment, but Edgar called... ' he said. ' It's the Ebola... '
