He threw the folded paper in front of Kerry, the listing circled in yellow highlighter
She raised an eyebrow
"Come on Kerry.."
*******************************
Kerry sat on the chair next to the coffee pot in the lounge and watched them trickle in slowly.There was no talking Robert out of this..
Pacing the lounge, in front of the entire ER staff, Robert pointed a finger at Kerry, "This is for real Kerry. I have the best real estate agent in the state and she says the place is haunted. Now of course, I'd love to go and check it out for myself, but sadly...there are charity events to attend, press conferences to be held..."
"But all of them.." she shook her head,"This is too much,even for you.."
"Oh please," Robert waved a hand at her and turned to Carter sitting closest to him. He gave him a playful punch on the shoulder,"It's a huge mansion, Kerry. Come on, don't tell me you wouldn't love to have all of them out of your hair for a night?!"
"He's lost his mind" Jing Mei hissed in Carter's ear
Carter turned to look at her and chuckled."If we do it, he said he'd let us be.."
Jing Mei rolled her eyes
Kerry pursed her lips."Ask them" she stood up,preparing to leave the lounge,"Ask them , not me"
"Well it's a done deal then," he stepped towards the door, pulling it open to leave without another word, but he instead popped his head back in. "Oh and I shouldn't have to remind you that your jobs are at stake if you decide not to go. The address is right there. Don't forget - you can always call the Ghostbusters!" Robert called over his shoulder as he sauntered away down the hall.
"Someone should tell Cleo" Dave announced,"She's going to want to know this.."
************************************
Abby let out a disgusted sigh, rolling her eyes. "He really is insane. I don't believe this," she just shook her head and turned to stare at Luka.
"Uh, who are the Ghostbusters?" Luka asked innocently.
"The Ghostbusters!" Dave cried,"Ahhhhhh man,what's she done to you? The Ghostbusters is like the best movie"
Abby leaned against the locker and narrowed her eyes."Go away Dave.."
"There's this big marshamallow guy.."
"Go away Dave"
***************************************
Carter held the lounge door open for Jing Mei."How do you feel about slumber parties"
Deb raised an eyebrow,"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm not saying anything!" he claimed defensively. "So what pajamas are you bringing?"
"For me to know" Deb teased ,"And you to find out" she brushed past him towards the front desk
"I see how it goes..." Carter whirled around to follow her. "This really is weird - Romano asking us to spend the night in *his* haunted mansion," he raised an eyebrow. "Sounds like someone's afraid of monsters under the bed..."
Deb chuckled,"What's our initive? What do we get for doing this?"
"Doing what?" Mark stood behind the admit desk,flipping through a chart,"You had the head lac,right?"
Deb nodded
"Oh Dr. Greene, didn't you hear? Romano's recruited the entire ER staff to spend the night in his haunted mansion." Carter shook his head, still somewhat baffled.
Mark scratched his neck,"All of us?"
"All of us." Carter replied, erasing his name from a spot on the board.
"All of us, indeed!" came a harsh British tone from behind them. "Hello darling," Elizabeth gave Mark a quick kiss and walked beside Carter, looking at the board. Finding nothing she turned back to him, "It was the only bloody thing he could talk about during surgery this morning! Who on earth am I going to find to watch Ella?"
Deb smirked,folding her arms across her chest,"You too?"
"We could take Ella with us, what are the chances this is for real?" Mark answered,"I mean,we're talking about Romano here .."
"Are you serious, Mark? This house is huge - deserted for something like 50 years, no electricity, no water! Believe me, I heard *all* about it. Maybe there's someway I could talk him out of making me go..." Elizabeth sighed and blew a stray curl from her face.
Deb caught Carter's eye and tried hard to keep from laughing out loud. They both knew of a way Elizabeth could get out of it, she just wasn't going to say it
"There's always Rachel.." Mark said timidly
There is..." Elizabeth replied with some hesitation.
"It's only for one night..."
Deb raised an eyebrow,"That would be our cue to leave" she motioned to Carter
****************************************
"It's only for one night, Abby." Luka said across the gurney, glancing up from the sutures.
She pursed her lips."One night, in the same house with HIM" Abby pointed to Dave,spinning around in a desk chair
Luka chuckled. "It will be quite the experience..." he replied, snipping the last thread.
"Yeah" Abby replied bitterly, half heartedly throwing the bandage at him,"Yeah it will...you're enjoying this aren't you?"
"For now," he grinned, "we'll see tonight... All set Mr. Johnson, come back in 10 days to have those removed." Luka ducked out into the hallway, trying to avoid another flying roll of tape from Abby's direction.
********************************************
Kerry managed to sneak herself back into the lounge, avoiding their glares. Only Abby seemed angry, Carter and Luka took this as a challenge of their manhood. * Men* Kerry chuckled,*Everything's a challenge of their manhood*
