Approximate Reading Time – 9 minutes Following the invasion, Friday afternoons in the ER became progressively quieter. For some reason, traffic was lighter, leading to fewer accident victims to treat. Nick used the pause in activity on this Friday's rotation to catch up on medical journals and paperwork left over from the week. Lately, he had been searching the hospital's limited library, hoping to find some information on Chemical weapons and the treatment of the victims of their use. In the last few weeks, reading other reports has become less critical. But now Nick was having trouble paying attention to a particularly dull article on Asthma and began looking out his office window. In his peripheral vision, he saw a military vehicle approaching the ER entrance. As it came to a stop, Nick could see that the jeep had US Air Force markings. He continued watching, curious, as two people in uniform jumped out, a man and a woman. They went around to the rear of the jeep and then carefully lifted something out. Nick couldn't see what they had, but both wore 'MP' armbands. Whatever they were carrying was too small for a stretcher. His interest piqued, Nick stood up, heading out to see what this could mean.
