Chapter1: Sahira. *opens on Sahiras first day at Holby City*
Sahira Shah, the new Cardiothoracic Registrar, drives into the Holby City car park in her very flashy car, sports car no doubt, a beautiful, sky blue Porsche with a convertible roof and black leather seats. The first shot you get of her is as she's getting out of her car, you see her stunning high heel black shoes, and then you see her slim legs with black silk tights and her beautiful crème coat. She walks over to the doors, turns around to look at view and smiles to herself thinking *its a brand new day of work, this better be fun!*so she walks through the doors and the first face she see's is Elliot Hope, a nice friendly face. She begins her first day of work, her first day that will most certainly change her life... forever.
'you must be the new girl, Sahira Shah, am i right or am i right?' Elliot said this in his quirky voice whilst Sahira looks on at him, in her confused but cute look on her face, trying not to smile, she's thinking *okay, he's a bit weird, but whatever floats your boat*
'yes, im Sahira, and you are..?' said Sahira, sounding a little rude towards Elliot but not meaning too.
'oh, yes, sorry, im Elliot Hope and ill be showing you round on your first day, getting you to know all the places you will be working within whilst your here, firstly lets get you registered on the register'
So as Sahira and Elliot walked behind the desk to get her registered as one of the new doctors, she was looking round whilst walking at the hospital, she remembered coming here from when she was a little girl, she fell off her bike and broke her arm, sounds pathetic at the time but she was only 7 years old, except now, all the doctors and nurses had changed and she was again, just a little girl, in a scary hospital, but this time, she was the one who was saving people's lives, as she was daydreaming, she totally forgot about the real world, what she was going through at the precise moment, all she heard was:
'Sahira... Sahira...' coming from Elliot, she finally snapped out of her daydream and listened to what Elliot had to say.
'Sorry Elliot, i was just in my own little world there, won't happen again, so where do i sign up?' said Sahira, in a shocked voice as though she sounded scared as it was her first day she didn't know what expect from Elliot, he seemed nice enough, yet he could have a complete dark side to himself, some people these days can be really two faced!
'just here' said Elliot, with a friendly smile on his face, he seemed friendly and sure did smile friendly, so Sahira thought to herself that she would get on very well in this business. She kept her private life private but if the time ever comes to when she has mention her private life, it would have to be something major as Sahira Shah is a very secretive woman, nothing will break her, she's brave and if she's asked to keep a promise, she'll keep it, she's the kind of girl who you would love as your best friendly, loyal, kind and a shoulder to cry on. She'll keep her family life... private. Unless she really needs to discuss it.
So, she's all signed up, ready to go, and just as things were looking up, an old colleague of Sahira's turns up to greet her, its Henrik Hanssen, they used to work together in their old hospital until Hanssen decided to quit his job and move here. Until she was ready to leave that job, she knew if she gave Hanssen a call he could easily get her a place at Holby City General, as he's the head boss aswel as Ric Griffin. So that's how it all started really, Hanssen got Sahira a job at Holby City, and she hasn't regretted it since, till she sees him in the corridor, staring at her, she knew this was the point where all the questions were going to be asked and Hanssen was going to ask Sahira to do all his dirty work for him, like in the past, she was determined to change and say 'No' to him, but she didn't dare, so as they were getting closer, the panic started brewing and she couldn't find the words to say to Hanssen except...
'Hi, Hanssen' and she carried on walking, hoping that they wouldn't start a conversation but that never happens, she wished she never said anything to him but that would be like ignoring him and you can't ignore your potential boss, can you?
'Sahira! Nice to see you again, how's your first day going? Done anything yet? Do you like the place? Its' nice isnt it?' Said Hanssen, talking unusually fast for him.
'slow down, slow down!' said Sahira, in a breathless voice, trying to catch every word that Hanssen just said to her, trying to get back in the past just a few seconds so she can answer all those questions, maybe write them down next time. 'Okay, so Hanssen, what did you just say?' she says again.
'How's it going?' that was his first question, first of many as she knows Hanssen too well. She knows how annoying he can be, and how he always asks her to do his dirty work, she wasn't going to have any of it for the duration she was here for, but Hanssen always finds a way to get round her, much to Sahiras annoyance.
'Its going good thankyou, i haven't really done much, just looked around, ill probably get my first patient this afternoon or tomorrow, i can't wait, should be a good day' she says in her smiley voice, but she could see the look on Hanssen's face, he wanted something, but she didn't know what to make of it.
'Sahira, before you go, can i ask you something?' he didn't even give Sahira a chance to answer 'yes' or 'no' he just carried on straight away, 'you wouldn't mind keeping an eye on everyone would you? and keep me posted on what they are doing? I dont have the time but you will spend most of your days with all your colleagues, thankyou' Hanssen walked off but Sahira stopped him by saying in an annoyed voice 'you mean you want ME to spy on them? Why would you even think i would do that? Im not that kind of person, do it yourself!' she walked off before he even had a chance to make a comeback.
She was walking back to the desk in huff of annoyance, she slumped back in her chair and looked at some notes which was left for her, her first patient, tomorrow morning, at 9am, that means another early start for the morning, she was sick of them but she knew she had to do it to keep her job and most importantly to keep her annoying boss Hanssen happy.
Jac Naylor saw Sahira, slumped in her chair, she went over to her and looked her up and down. Sahira was getting paranoid so decided ask her whats up.
'Yes? Can i help you? have you got a problem?' said Sahira, in a voice which sounded grumpy but not meaning too.
'Im Jac Naylor, just thought id introduce myself to you as you will be working closely with me... unfortunately' then Jac walked off saying to Sahira 'you better be ready, this job gets tough, but you have to fight on and prove that you can do it, and working with me, well that's gonna be tough, as i'm not nice and take this seriously, im not working her to make friends or enemies, just to make sure im good at my job and ive been here for 3 years, so im not complaining, see you around!' she said this in her smug voice, and Sahira wasn't sure whether to take it serious or not, she thought to herself *okay, well i suppose im gonna have to wait till tomorrow to find out*
As the day was drawing to a close, Sahira was leaving her first day of many at Holby City, she said goodbye to everyone and headed out the door, ready to start her second day, bright and early, tomorrow morning...
