It was a busy day on Keller, so they had to bring in an agency nurse. This for Dom, was very unwelcome, he didn't like new people, not after Lee and Isaac, he had been scared of them for ages even though he had Zosia, Essie and Sasha there to help him.

"Why do you look like a t-rex today Dom?" Asked Essie with an inquisitive look on her face.

"I over did it working my triceps at the gym last night." Replied Dom with a plain face.

"Well I did think you looked a bit hmmm..."

"What? Manly, butch?"

"I was going to say disheveled but I will go with that too."

"Ha ha very funny" Dom snorts sarcastically and saunters off, Essie follows.

Sasha comes up behind them, "Ok, we have a transfer up from the ED, stab wound and possible hypothermia as well as all of the other patients."

"Sasha, this is ridiculous, we have been rushed off our feet for days!" Whines Essie

"I know, but there is an agency nurse on thier way up as we speak." Says Sasha assertively. His tone suddenly softer, "Now, he is here for one shift only so if we work our magic..."

The doors fly open with several nurses and a trolley with someone doing CPR on the man in the trolley. It's utter chaos as the man with the dark curly haired man gets off of the patient, and Dom isn't paying any attention to him, he continues with the patient.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Asked Sasha with a bewildered look on his face.

"I'm looking for Mr Levy..."

"Ah! I was hoping you were going to say that. And it's Levy." Emphasizing the E sound.

"Lofty"

"Nice to meet you, let's go to my office."

After everything had calmed down, Sasha and Lofty went to Sasha's office to discuss what the plan was. After the meeting, Dom and Essie showed him around.

"These are the beds," says Dom, pointing in the direction of the patients.

"Which is where we keep the sick people." Claims Essie like Lofty was a child.

"Staff room," Dom, with a false enthusiasm

"Mevilwich and Mo" greets Essie

"Nurses station" Dom says as Lofty looks over

"Recall any gossip here" says Essie happily

"Just no food" turns Dom around and gives Lofty heart eyes.

They carry on the tour. Eventually, they get to the locker room.

"Locker room," Dom, with a tired voice, which doesn't deprive Lofty of his happiness; "yours is number 17".

Lofty takes the keys and goes over to his brand new locker, face gleaming.

"So, what's the pay like in Aussie, I hear it's really good?" Inquires Essie, trying to not make eye contact with the now topless Lofty, clueless at what was happening behind them.

"Yeah, it's really good," Lofty starts turning around and Essie looks away, "but they had me at g'day..." He turns back around and Dom starts dragging Essie away from the pole she is holding on to,

"Essie, I think we should go and see that patient." Clueless to Lofty, Dom manages to pull Essie away and drag her out of the locker room,

"What? I was just being friendly." Claims Essie, looking the innocent one.

"Yeah, and then some," says Dom as shocked as he had ever been in his life.

"8"

"No, clearly he is a 5"

"Are you blind?"

They saunter off to their patients.

Most of the day goes without a hitch, just the odd first day mistake, yet nothing too major to put the whole ward in danger. At the end of the day, the same as every day, they all go to Alby's for a drink. Sasha upsets Lofty but decides to not be awkward about it and just gets another round of drinks.

Everyone in Keller corner continues their conversation, meanwhile, at the bar;

"So if we don't find out what happened to him, he is going to die..." Slurred a very drunk Jasmine

"Are you going to be alright getting home?" queries the supportive Lofty

"Why, did you wanna take me?" Suggests Jasmine, not getting the point.

"No, I was asking if you wanted me to call you a cab." Reveals Lofty.

"Oh"

The next thing Dom knows is Lofty is leaving with Jasmine and saying goodnight to everyone. Someone makes a comment about someone pulling. Dom looks sad and claims it's because he knew he would have to get the next round in yet he knew deep inside, he liked Lofty, in a way that could only be expressed as by showing love.
