It was a bit of a walk even with Séan’s longer gait and trying to keep Mika as comfortable as possible but they arrived at the hospital. The looks they received on the way here paled in comparison to what they got once they entered. At first he was afraid they were going to think he had done this to her but he kept repeating that they were Starfleet officers and that they needed Doctor Fayth right away.Counselor Iven
Mika clung to him the whole walk, occasionally complaining of pain or asking for Sharah, or something else. While he was asking for Sharah, she kept saying, “Get Sharah”, “Where is Sharah?”, “I need Sharah.”

Mika didn’t have to wait. Sharah was already making her way into the ER. “Temple get an OR prepped, get Ilena in there. Hurry.” She met Sean at the doors, “In here, set her on the bed.” Sharah looked as pale as Mika did.
Séan quickly but carefully placed Mika onto the indicated bed.
She placed a hand on Mika’s forehead. “It’s alright Tandra. You’re going to be fine. I promise.” Waves of warmth and safety and peace flowed over Mika. Sharah pressed a phlebotomy hypo to her arm and drew blood. Temple walked in, “OR is ready, Dr.” Sharah handed her the vial, “Get this tested. She’s been drugged and I need to know with what. Priority, it goes before everything.” Temple nodded and hurried out. A medic came in and they unlocked the bed and started pushing her out. She looked at Sean, “I can’t give her anything until I know what he gave her. Tell me everything.”
“I don’t know much more than you.” Séan said with a bit of frustration. “She was bound to a chair in the basement like you indicated. There were five men in total in the house. Four were upstairs and one was with her downstairs. There was a cart with various tools and bottles on it that it must have been what they used on her. I was in a hurry to get her here with how badly she has been bleeding that I didn’t check for labels on the bottles of drugs or anything.” He paused a moment as a thought came to him. “I had help rescuing Tandra though and in my rush left them to take care of the rest. Let me reach out and ascertain what the bottles were.”
Sharah looked up, “Anything you can find out will help. Also if you will, file the security report. Let them know she’s been found, but she’s in no condition to be questioned. I will let them know when.” She set a hand on his arm. “She’s going to be alright.”
Ilena met them at the door to the OR, “Pull whole blood for her type and fluids, she’s going to need them.”

The sight of a similar face was a comfort to Mika, but Sharah’s touch brought a sense of peace, safety, and warmth. Her body relaxed as the emotions washed over her, drowning out her fear and pain. She looked up at Sharah. “Sorry. Must be hard for you…”
~ Mika, CMHO
Sharah shook her head, “You have nothing to be sorry for. I am happy to do whatever I can for you.” Mika was special in Sharah’s life. She was her mentor, but a friend. One who hadn’t left her or put her aside. She was rare and precious to Sharah. “Tandra,” she leaned over her, “I’m going to scrub, Ilena is going tobtake you into the room. I will be right back. You will not be alone.” She said it with surety. Ilena came into view.
Sharah turned to Séan, “I’ll page you as soon as we’re done.” She went through another door to scrub up. Ilena paused before taking Mika in so Séan could see her.
