Chapter 10

She had been in hospitals more times than she could count. She had done her medical rotations in several different ones around the country, all on different departments. She had saved lives, changed lives and seen lives lost. But there was something different about being the one who didn't know what was happening. The world around her seemed like a daze, with blurred figures and distant voices. She didn't hear them speak, she didn't see their faces. She just sat in one of the chairs in the ER waiting room, her bloodied hands folded in her lap.

Maura didn't know how much time had passed since the ambulance arrived at the hospital. She didn't even know what city she was in. One of the EMT's had brought her into the waiting room, told one of the nurses to look after her and then promised he would come back for her once he had some answers. It could have been ten minutes or an hour. She had no idea of time.

She looked up when she felt a hand on her shoulder and found Frankie looking back at her. Worry reflected in his eyes as he studied her face.

"Maura, you ok?" he asked softly as he sat down beside her. He never let go of her arm. "Where did they take Jane?"

"They're working on her now," Maura answered, repeating only what she had heard the nurse say a little while earlier. "The doctors think she won't need surgery."

Frankie heaved a sigh of relief. All the way here he hadn't been able to shake the image of his sister's bloodied face. The sight of Jane so brutally beaten up would haunt him for a very long time. He'd been to shaken up to drive so Frost took the wheel. As he looked up he saw his friend standing at the desk talking to one of the nurses.

"Thank God for that," Frankie said and looked at Maura.

She was pale. All the colour had drained from her face. A bloodied smudge covered her cheek and she hadn't washed her hands yet. There were blood stains on her clothes and as he looked down he realised that she was still on her bare feet. Her toes looked bruised and sore, with small cuts and bits of leave and sand stuck to them. His head whipped back up and he signalled one of the nurses.

"Could you have a look at these, please?" he asked and pointed at Maura's feet. "And maybe get her something to eat?"

The nurse nodded and smiled as she carefully took Maura's hand, helping her to her feet. It was only now that she started to walk that Maura realised just how painful her feet were and she struggled to put one foot in front of the other. The nurse, noticing the doctor's struggle, draped Maura's arm around her shoulder and supported her as they made their way out of the waiting room and to one of the examination room.
