Doreen continued questioning the oldest child and she was a bit on the side of angry.
"Listen, I need to know what or who caused this," she almost demanded, "You seem to be OK but these two do not," pointing at the child now laying in a coma. About this time, the intercom paged her.
"Dr. Nagger, please report to the ER. Dr. Nagger, please report to the ER."
She grumbled a bit, calling over to one of the security officers and the others of the medical team.
"Watch them and give those two what they need. Keep an eye and this one and see what you can get out of her." With that, she left for the ER.
"Dr. Nagger, new arrivals from the anti-slaver crews," announced one of the physicians as he explained things to her, "We brought her in but the ship that left her took off before we could get anything else. Her nose is broken and she has some broken teeth as well. She's also got bite marks on her."
"Oh lovely," remarked Doreen with sarcasm, "I'll bet it's those damned slavers. I'll get dentistry here. In the meanwhile, set her nose, clean her up and run scans on her. Focus on sexual assault, primarily any kind of venereal diseases and the possibility of pregnancy."
"Will do," he replied as he went to deal with her.
The attending physician attended the woman, doing as instructed and calmly talking to her.
"My name is Dr. Frank and I'll be taking good care of you," he explained as he administered some pain medication. "This should help."
After a couple of minutes, he placed his hands on either side of her nose. "You shouldn't feel this now."
With a quick jerk, he reset her nose and began cleaning her up. As he did, he gently smiled.
"Look, I'm finding a pretty young lady under all of this mess," he said to her. He then turned to one of his staff, "When you get the scan results back, let me know. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes I would think." Sexual assault was quickly diagnosed.
The dentist arrived and looked in her mouth. He could only shake his head. "Someone had there way with this woman and all of this is a result of her resisting. Bastards!"
He found Doreen and spoke with her, "When she's able, I'll replace the broken teeth with some ceramic ones. Know one will know the difference." He turned to leave but turned back for a comment, "We need to get ahold of the people doing this."
