Characters You Know (So Far): Dr. Dave, Randi, Mark Greene, Malik, Kerry, Jing-Mei, Carter, Luka, Chuny, Haleh, Elizabeth, and Cleo.

Dr. Elizabeth Corday took the chart that Mark handed her and fliped through it.

" I'll take it from here, Dr. Greene, thanks."

" No problem, Dr. Corday." Elizabeth turned to the man on the table in Exam 3.

" All right Mr.-" she looked at the chart. " -Buseck. I'm Dr. Corday, your surgical consult. You have a fairly large clot in your right knee. We might have to operate to remove it."

" Will that take long to recover from? I don't want to lose my job sitting on my couch all day." Elizabeth smiled.

" If you want, we can do an outpatient procedure, and just make a few small incisions. I't would take an hour, and you could go back to work on Monday. But we do have to take you up to the OR now, before any permanant damage is done."

" That's fine."

" All right then, I'll send you up with a nurse, and Dr. Benton will meet you there." She walked out of Exam 3, and bumped into Chuny.

" Oh, I was just looking for you Dr. Corday." she said, handing her a transfusion bag and a chart. " Dr. Finch wants you to start this blood on the girl in Exam 5."

" Okay, can you please take Mr. Buseck up to the OR? Dr. Benton is waiting for him."

" Sure, Dr. Corday." Chuny took Elizabeth's chart and walked towards Exam 3. Elizabeth walked into Exam 5 with the blood.

" Hello." She looked around. " Where are your parents?" she asked the girl.

" Daddy went to get a soda." she said. Elizabeth picked up the girls chart and raised her eyebrow at the name.

" Skye, is Dave Malucci your father?" The girl nodded.

" But he's not my doctor. Dr. Finch is. She's a pediatrician."

" I know. My name is Dr. Corday. " Elizabeth hooked up the blood to the girls IV.

" Is that going to make me better?"

" No, but it will make you feel better, we can't start the drugs that will make you better until you are stronger. So," she sat down next to the girl. " Do you like your Daddy?"

"Yeah, he's great. I have a sister too. Her name is Isabel, but we call her Isa. She goes to high school, and she has a purse with make-up in it and a boyfriend that's on the football team. She's a cheerleader, too." the girl excitedly talked about her sister. 'She must be her role model.' Elizabeth thought.

" Wow, she sounds great." she said aloud.

" Yup. When I grow up I'm going to be popular and go to high school like Isa, and then I'm going to be a doctor like daddy. Isa plays the violin too."

" Where does Isa go to school?" Elizabeth asked.

" We both go to Sara-Charlotte. It's a big private school. Daddy pays money so we can go there. I have to wear a uniform." Skye made a face, and Elizabeth laughed.

" Uniforms are pretty bad. I had to wear one in my school in England."

" You did?"

" I sure did."

Elizabeth stood up and started to adjust the girl's IV. So, Malucci sent them to the most expensive private school in the city. That proved he was a better father than she thought. He cared about their education. And he also must care about their well-being, because public schools are not very gentle places to spend your day. 'But what does he do with then after school?' she thought.

" Skye, does your daddy have a babysitter for you after school?" she asked.

" Sort of. My Aunt Claudia and her son Micheal moved in after mommy died, so she takes care of the house and watches us when daddy is at work. She's cool. We don't call her Aunt, just Claudia. But Micheal calls her Mom. Daddy's friend Eddie rents out the basement too, so there are a lot of people in my house. I have a cat."

" What kind of cat?" Elizabeth asked her, still looking at the IV.

" A grey cat...Hi, Dr. Finch!" Elizabeth turned around to see Malucci and Cleo enter the room. Cleo was saying to him:

"-and I will need you to answer some questions so we can fill out this chart."

Elizabeth finished with the IV and squeezed Skyes shoulder.

" I'll see you later honey."

" Bye, Dr. Corday."

~*~Note~*~ Sara-Charlotte dosn't exist. I write the following parts after I have read the previous story's reviews, so please review and write suggestions! Thanx.

Angel In The ER
Part Six - Between The Lines
By Jade14

Dave walked to the soda machine, needing to get away from it all

This small outing

His only refuge from the horror waiting for him

In exam five

His daughter was dying

It was happening again

His worst nightmare

Come alive

No money

Damn-locker has money in it

Locker isn't exam five

Locker is safe

Or so he thought

Opened locker-saw pictures taped up

Of happier days in his life

When no one was sick

No one he loved

Everything was perfect

Not anymore

A picture of him kissing wife

Happy

Not anymore

Not anymore

Remembered times they kissed

Not all happy

Memories

But memories all the same

He had to live with them

Had to remember

Seven years old

Being pinned to the ground by her

And kissed

While screaming the plague of cooties

Twelve years old

Sitting on her porch swing

Can I kiss you

Yes

Their first real kiss

Sixteen years old

Looking at her face sleeping

In the wake of passion

Kissed her forehead

Before falling asleep himself

Kissing her lips

Their first child

Sleeping in her arms

Scared for the future

But happy all the same

Eighteen

A kiss at the alter

Binding him to her forever

Happy

Twenty two

Their second child

Kissing her in their small house

In Grenada

Watching them grow

So big

So perfect

Twenty six

Kissing the top of her head

As she died in his arms

Of an uninvited disease

That had no right to be in her

Had no right to be in his daughter

Dave closed his locker

Walked back towards exam five

And impending doom

Oh what he would give

For just one more

Kiss.
