Chapter 6: Complications

(Reznov)

I walk up to them, my gun trained on them. 100 meters away. "What's going on up here?!"

=to the other person on the roof=
Well, this young lady right here just shot at me and my friends, including this Elite. Her rifle is right over there.

=i gesture behind me=
I need to get her and my friend here to the hospital. She's going to answer some questions for me.

(Reznov)

"Alright." I run over to the Sniper, and pick it up of the ground.

Okay, now, normally I'd hand her over to you, but I don't know you yet, so I don't trust you. Sorry, it's just how I am.

=i open my comm=
Hey guys, I got the shooter, but Senox is hurt. Mind giving us a hand, someone?

=the woman tries to escape. i keep her in place=
No, escaping. You stay right here.

=She glares at the Spartan=

Woman- They cant take me to Xazhi...

=i look over at the other person=
Hey, you got any bandages? All I have on me are two pistols.

=I walk over to the Nurse behind the counter=
"Excuse me, ma'am, mind if i check in for a day?"

Nurse, "What do you mean?"

"Well, I'm a Doctor, And I sort of need something to do...."

Nurse, "Sir, What are you talking about?"

"I mean operating and things, why?"

Nurse, she blushes, "Oh, uh...I need to see your card, please."

"Certe, here."

=The Nurse runs the card through the system=

Nurse, "oh, wow, Welcome Doctor Oehlberg, it's a pleasure to have you here."

"Pleasure to be, now, anything i can do?"

Two hours later...

I guess I should be at the Hospital know. I think anyway. I don't know. All I remember is being shot. Then I blacked out. I hope I'm not dead anyway...

Senox has just arrived at the Hospital.

=i am still escorting the woman, her arms pinned behind her back so she can't run. we walk into the lobby. i sit her down in an empty chair and stand in front of her=

Now, why did you shoot at us?

=She glares at him=

Woman- Because you shot at me.

Bullshit, and you know it. Why did you shoot at us?

=i put my hands behind my back and silently take out the magazines and eject the loaded rounds=

=She looks away=

W- You shot at me. I shot at you. Differance is, you hit me.

=He gestures down at her leg, which is still bleeding and is untreated. The beginings of an infection are visable=

=Senox arrives at the hospital=

Man-1, "It's an Elite! what do we do?!"

Woman-1, "Can we operate on it?"

Man-2, "I don't think the doctors here know how to operate on Elites."

Dr-1, "What is this?....An Elite?!"

=I turn around at the commotion, and Walk over to the nearly arrived=

"Whats going on?"

Dr-1, "I don't think we can help this elite."

"I'll operate, he's not the first."

Dr-1, "what? and you are who?"

"I'm doctor Nikolaus Oehlberg"

=I extend my hand=

Dr-1, "you don't look like a doctor."

"Looks can be deceiving, Someone get me a cart! We Need to get the sangheili to an ER!"
=I shout, and lift the Elite off the ground.=

=i sigh and take off my shirt to make a bandage. i wrap it tight around her leg to stop the bleeding. my voice gets softer as I stand=
Better?

(He had left the room taking the note)
(Trying to get his mind off of her)
(He enters the lobby and takes a seat. Observes the events)

=i turn my head slightly and see Draco=
Draco, you okay?

=She remains silent and stares at the Spartan, and the new one=

(He shakes his head)

@Dormii
No

=to Draco=
Okay. We'll talk later, okay? Get it off your chest.

=to the shooter=
Any better? Your leg, I mean?

(He looks at him)
(His eyes still going through the colors)

@Dormii
Okay

=Moments later, the cart is rushed to the last available ER, where the doctor begins his operation. The Elite, Senox is sedated and armour is removed..=

"Forceps."

Surgeon aid, "Forceps." He hands me the forceps.

I open the wound.

"Tweezers."

Surgeon aid, "Tweezers." He hands me the Tweezers.

I go in and take out the anti-material round and drop in a bowl. It looked as if some of the Elite armour plating had entered as well. from the force of the impact of the round.

"Time to take out the shrapnel."

I use the tweezers to pull out some of the larger bits of shrapnel. But the smaller bits have gone deeper, and are still moving.

"We need to scan his midsection, find out where the shrapnel bits are. go!"

We rush Senox to the CAT room. and do a scan of his body. I note where the shrapnel is on a 3d-digital image. and we move him back to the ER. I cut into the elites skin, and move it out of the way so that I can use the tweezers and a magnet to remove the Shrapnel piece moving up towards his lungs. I cut into and hold open a small area with the forceps and scalpel. I insert the magnet and slowly begin to up the electric current to attract the metal shrapnel inside him.

=i lightly pat her check, just enough to get her attention=
Hey, hey, look at me. Is your leg any better?

=I relieve my anger by punching the side of the pelican, doing more damage to myself than the Pelican=

=I decide to return to the hospital=

=she stays silent=
Okay, fine. But we are going to stay right here until you answer my questions.

=i wave over a doctor=
Antibiotics and alcohol. Infection in a bullet wound.

=the doctor runs off and returns with them=
Thank you.

=i open the woman's mouth and make her swallow the antibiotics. i open the bottle of alcohol and pour it on my shirt, now wrapped around her leg. i hand the bottle back to the stunned doctor and shoo him away. i stand with my arms crossed looking at the woman=
I'm waiting.

=I walk into the lobby=

Sick people, dying people.. Home Sweet Home....

=I look and see Snow enter the lobby. I grunt at him, still waiting for the woman to speak=

=I sit down in one of the chairs and observe the woman with the obvious wound in the leg next to Dormii=

=to the woman=
I don't have much patience. If you don't talk soon, it can get very painful, for both of us.

=i put my hand on her wound and squeeze, inflicting pain=

(He sees Snow enter)
(He shakes his head and looks at the ground)
(He sighs)

I will find you again, I promise

=finishes operating on xazhi and heads to the lobby seeing the others=

what the hell do you think your doing dormi?

Getting answers as to why we were shot at.

=She cleches her teeth and grips the chair, trying to avoid screaming in pain. A tear falls from her face. She pulls her hood back up to hide herself=

=I stand up and walk over to Dormii=

What are you doing...

Too bad, Zeru.

=i squeeze her wound harder. And pull the hood down, off her face=
No hiding.

=She is clearly in much more pain than she has felt in her life. She fights back the tears. She screams=

AH! FUCK!

=i let go of her leg=
Simply tell me.

=walks over and grabs dormi and slams him into a wall and starts carrying the woman to the operating room=

i will not allow you to torture an injured person

=i spin him around, my wounds bleeding again=
And I do not allow those who try to kill me or my friends go easily.

=She gets away from the New Spartan and goes back to the lobby. She starts to head back outside=

No, Fuck you!

(He sighs)

I understand why you left

(He looks up)

Why did you leave me with them

(He slightly laughs)

=I stop the woman=

I don't know what importance you are, but you seem very.

=i grab her and i pin her down again. i apply pressure to her leg again=

I am sorry for this, I just want answers. Please. Just tell me. And if you don't, I can do worse.

=i pick her up and start to carry her to another room=
I don't want to do this. I really don't.

=She screams in pain again. people begin to stare grimly at the Spartan=

I told you! Now fuck off and leave me alone!

=She attempts to get free=

=I follow Dormii, silent=

=i keep hold of her, barely. i get to an empty room and close the door, locking it. i throw her onto the bed. i go stand at the window=

Tell me the reason why you shot at us.

=I sigh as the door is slammed in my face=

=I go back and sit by Draco, silent once more=
