2 Reasons Why Jac Should Be Jealous
1. Joseph lived next door to a girl called Alyssa and her family. He grew up with her and they were very close. When they were both at university they became a couple and were together for 2 years before splitting up. She has been one of his closest friends since then.
2. Alyssa's moving to Holby to work at the hospital, as a GS Consultant, the position that Jac was dying to get.
Dedicated to Woody2792, because she's amazing. The character Alyssa is based on her :)
Alyssa wandered into the reception of Holby City Hospital, slightly bewildered about where she was going. So much had changed around where she grew up, even the hospital looked completely different.
She rubbed her eyes slightly and yawned, deciding that a cup of coffee would be the ultimate pick me up. But then again, coffee from a vending machine that tasted like motor oil was far from her acquired tastes. She began to assess in her mind how badly she needed the caffeine, was the need urgent enough to consume that rubbish they attempt to pass off as coffee?
As she turned the corner, she found the answer to her prayers. A coffee shop. Finally, someone had taken the initiative to put one of those in the hospital. Forget the patients, this establishment was made for the doctors. Wards run on coffee, words of wisdom from her old professor at Cambridge. At long last there was a decent cup of coffee to be found in a hospital. Her energy levels sang at the thought of a nice, hot latte with a little sugar, bursting with caffeine goodness.
She ordered her coffee to takeaway, not wanting to be late for her first day at her new job. It was a long time coming, this job. She'd travelled almost everywhere, worked almost everywhere, all over the world and up and down the country, and finally she was back in Holby, where everything started.
As she was about to head for the lifts, her phone rang. Noticing that it was Millie, she picked up the phone and said, 'Hey Mills, are you okay? Ah good, you found the school okay then? Brilliant. I'm at the hospital now, just about to find Keller Ward. No, no sign of him yet, but I guess it won't be long. I'll go look for him when I have a break if I don't bump into him beforehand. Have a good day at school, love you.'
Hanging up the phone, she took her coffee and headed for the lifts. As the doors shut, she noticed a man standing beside her. He was average height, had skin the colour of weak coffee, hair the colour of blackest coal and an aura of arrogance about him. He looked like he knew where he was going.
'Excuse me,' she said politely, catching his attention. 'Could you tell me what floor Keller Ward is on?'
'Yeah, it's on the fifth floor. Could I ask what your business there is?' he asked, intrigued by the way she was dressed. He assumed that she was heading there to work, therefore he'd have to let her know a few things, i.e. he was in charge. But she could just be a patients relative.
'It's my first day working there as a consultant,' she replied;
'You're Alyssa Daniels then?' he asked.
'How did you know?' she replied.
'I'm Michael Spence, the other GS Consultant,' he said, offering out his hand.
She shook it, and said, 'I've heard about you. I've only dealt with Mr Griffin though.'
As the doors opened, Michael said, 'Well, Miss Daniels, Mr Griffin is on leave due to his illness, but if you'll follow me, I'll take you to your office, which you'll share with me. Welcome to Keller.'
More to come, I just wanted to stop it there as it seemed like a good introduction to Alyssa. Hope you liked it, and especially hope that my part time ninja, part time muse enjoyed it.
