The small hospital room where Stella Bonasera lay drifting between unconsciousness and consciousness was filled with people. Everyone from the New York Crime Lab had come to support their friend once they had heard. Danny Messer and Lindsay Monroe were sitting on one side of Stella, looking at each other sadly. Sheldon Hawkes was standing near the doorway, watching the monitor that measured Stella's heartbeats.
"You okay Mac?"
This was Detective Don Flack. He was sitting beside Mac Taylor, the supervisor of the CSI's, who had been by Stella's side since she'd been shot. Mac just grunted. He looked horrible. It had been almost 48 hours since Stella had been admitted to the hospital and Mac hadn't slept or shaved and had eaten very little during this time. Just then, a knock came at the door. Sheldon turned away from the heart monitor to open the door.
"Food delivery!"
Adam Ross from the Lab had brought some food for everyone. For a split second, everyone forgot about Stella and grabbed food from Adam. Everyone except Mac.
"Whoa...It's that bad?"
Adam had just seen the amount of machines Stella was hooked up to. Everyone then remembered about Stella and went back to their melancholy state. Adam joined the group by standing beside Sheldon. Then a young female nurse walked into the room.
"Sorry to break up the party but is there a Mr. Taylor here?"
At the sound his name, Mac stood up and turned towards the nurse.
"Mr. Taylor I need to speak with you in private."
"So what you're saying is, you're kick-"
Sheldon had quickly covered Adam's mouth before he finished. Lindsay and Danny walked out of the room, hands together until Flack came up behind them. Finally, when everyone had left the room, the nurse spoke again.
"Mr. Taylor, as you may have guessed, Ms. Bonasera will need surgery to remove the bullet."
Mac nodded. Usually if a bullet doesn't come out, it needs to be taken out surgically.
"Now the surgery we need to preform is quite risky - "
"How risky?"
"The odds of survival are 50/50 at best."
Mac's stomach did a flip flop. 50/50 were not great odds. He tried to remain calm as he asked the nurse another question.
"...and why are you telling me this?"
"Because you have Ms. Bonasera's power of attorney."
