Sam invites some of his old colleuages to visit him over to America. But whats his reason?
Eyeing up the letter on her desk, Connie couldnt help but find herself being distracted from her paperwork. The writing on the front she recognized without a doubt. Thoughts ran through her head, her paperwork becoming more delayed by the second. Why now? After what, four years, why? Is he ill? God no. She shook of the thought immediately and tried getting down to some more paperwork.. If only..
Temptation as ever getting the better of her she picked the envalope up. Opening it she unfolded the piece of paper in side. Her eyes scanned the letter. His handwriting.
Dear Connie,
Hello, hope you and Grace are okay. I've missed you both a great deal. Your probably sat there wondering why I'm writing to you now, of all times and not sooner. A letter can't really express how im feeling and really how much I'm missing everybody back there. But..
I was just wondering if you'd like to come visit me in America.(I'll just give you time to process that infromation, sprung that on you way to fast..) Anyway, Would love to see Grace, how's she doing? and with working I'm guessing you need a break as well, some down time.
Think about it and let me know.
All my love Sam.
{P.S flightless tickets are in the envalope. Im serious about this.}

Re-reading the letter Connie couldnt help a small smile form on her lips. Truth be told It was great to hear from him after so long. She'd need time to think about this trip, weigh out her options but the more she thought about him the more she thought just maybe...
"Thank you" The American replied rather cheerfully as he had a letter placed in his hand, by a as ever for Michael a good looking nurse. ( Looking at It he frowned before swiftly entering his office. "Ric" he regarded as he sat down at his desk, holding the letter as he did so.
"Michael, I trust you know about the operation this afternoon?" Ric looked at the American sat opposite him.
"oh yeah, sure, your assisting i take it?" Not bothering to look up Michael opened the envalope, taking out the piece of paper.
"Yes" Ric answered now stood up he swiftly fled the office. Shaking his head as he went. Once thing Ric hates, it's being ignored.
Opening up the piece of paper Michael read.
Michael.
Its Sam, inviting you back to your home town, hope your well and can make time to come and visit me. We need a catch-up and drinks (on me).
Think about it for me.
P.S - I might even throw in a game of basket ball. One of my many talents.
{Flight tickets are in the envalope, Spence.}
Sam. :)
Nodding to himself Michael smiled. "Oh America what I wouldnt give to come back to you." The words rolled off his tougne with little effort. This proposition looked promising. He had a few weeks off coming up soon. Perfect timing. Old pals meeting up for a drink, sounds good. Popping the letter in his drawer he got back to work.
"Joseph, a letter arrived for you this morning" Jac announced as she approached the nurses station on Darwin. "Here" she passed it to him. Joseph smiled as he took it out of her slender hand. "ah, what is it?" Shaking her head Jac inspected it further.
"Search me, oh all I do know is that Mrs Beauchamp wants a word with you later, she told me to telll you.. Been a naughty boy have we?" Turning away Jac winked, leaving Joseph staring at the letter. Shuffling awkwardly backwards. He opened the letter with careful precision.
Joey boy, (Joseph)
Its good to be able to write to you again. How are you keeping?. Look I was wondering if you' d like to visit me in America. If your not to busy. It would be nice to catch-up with an old pal.
Come-on it'll be fun.
Let me know
{P.S Flight tickets are in the envalope. If you do decided to come.}
Sam. :)
Joseph thought, again akwardly moving side-ways as someone passed him. "A holiday, that doesn't seem so bad, and with Sam, will be nice to see him again, I'll go ask Connie for some time off,she wanted to see me anyway, no need to think about this one, iam owed some time off anyway, yes" Joseph was rambling and talking to himself as he made his way towards the office.
Knocking on the door, he entered upon hearing Connie call him in.
"Joseph, glad your hear, I wanted to see you, now, I need you to keep the ward running for me, I'm going on holiday for a few weeks" Sitting back in her seat, she stared at him waiting for his reply.
"Actually Mrs. Beauchamp, that's what i wanted to talk to you about, Im thinking about taking some time off to..." He trailed off.
Connie thought about it. "Okay, go on.." she ushered.
Handing the woman infront of him the letter, she took it from him. "I received this, this morning from...Sam"
Reading the letter then scanning the ticket, Connie shook her head, limply holding up the letter addressed to her as well as the ticket on her desk. Saying nothing she sighed.
"ah.." Joseph replied not knowing what else to say.
"So. I wonder who else he's written too" Connie tapped her fingers on her forehead. "I will find out, just get back to work for now"
Nodding Joseph walked out. In through the other as if on cue came in Michael. Cheery as ever.
"Kannie" Taking a seat he sat opposite her.
"Michael" She replied dully looking up from her growing pile of paper work that had collated over the course of the afternoon.
Holding up the letter and ticket a idiotic grin spread across his face. "From Strachan.."
Connie's eyes darted down in front of her, Michael followed her gaze. "You?"
"And Joseph, all flights booked same date, it looks like.."
Michael sighed. "And your both going?"
"Not to sure about Joseph" Connie replied. "He did come in earlier asking for time off"
"oh great!" Michael let out a long sigh.
"I'm not exactly thrilled to be spending time with you either, but i think we all need a holiday... Me more than most, and Grace, she needs time with Sam, so yeah why not?"
"Okay, I'm in, although, you might have to look after me, i don't like flying... Never have" Michael squirmed in his seat.
"Great.." Rolling her eyes Connie shooed Michael out the office.
A trip of a lifetime. Well it certainly would be that.
2 weeks later.
