Kate was glad May was still around, several other interns and volunteers had shown up in the past few minutes bringing word of vanishings and madness. Most who came to the Hospital had cuts and bruises, every so often they would see a person in critical condition. The few hospital administrators left had sent a group of medical personal to O'Hare to help with the injured from the plans that were landing, with the runways being so crowded it was a dangerous place to be.

It had been a couple of hours since the vanishings happened, Kate had already tired calling Ryan once, he didn't answer. She didn't know if he was alive, she hadnt tried calling her family yet. The news was reporting mass vanishings all over the world, the President had come on tv telling the people to stay calm and they were working on trying to find out what exactly had happened. Kate pointed a man towards the non critical part of the hospital, turning back around she glanced around the room looking for May, she saw the young girl helping a Nurse treat a burn victim. Kate needed some air, so she headed outside, the air was cool, there were a few ambulances parked outside, cars crowded the parking lot, but it was oddly quiet. She slid her hands into her lab coat pockets and looked around, the once peaceful part of town that Chicago Memorial sat is was now crazy. People were all over in the streets, cars burned, off in the distance she could see the smoke rising up into the sky from a large fire. She could hear the cries of people, fire truck sirens and car horns, 'What is going on?' she wondered for the billionth time since all this had started.
