Every member of the team had packed their suitcases and made their way to the hospital for their normal Monday morning shift, except today they were off on a team building trip.
"Right, so as most of you will know, I am taking half of the team away for a team building trip curtesy of our very own CEO. So, in my absence Ash will be acting clinical lead for the week and Charlie will be the acting Nurse manager. Iain will be leading the paramedics and Louise will be heading up reception. If you have an quires you can contact myself or Zoe on our mobiles. Those that are going, could you make your way outside in about 10 minutes so we can get going. Thank you everyone." Connie said quickly making a final visit to her office.
Zoe, Dylan, Robyn, Lofty, Max, Cal, Ethan, Tess and Dixie were waiting by the coach.
"Have a good time guys. Don't miss me too much." Louise said before walking off feeling smug that she managed to get out of a week away in the woods.
"Next time Louise." Dixie shouted back.
"We all ready to go then?" Connie asked as she struggled to carry the paperwork she was taking for the trip.
"No rest for the wicked." Dylan said before getting on the coach and sitting next to Zoe who laughed back causing Max to feel a sudden urge of jealousy.
Once everyone was on the coach Connie made her first announcement over the coach telecom.
"I know this isn't the place that most of you would want to spend a week at but it should do us good and allow us to bond as a team. I've split us up into two groups who we will be with the duration of the trip. Also I should introduce some of you who don't already know to Dylan Keogh. He used to be a doctor at HOLBY ED and is an asset to have returning to the team so please make him feel welcome." Connie said smiling at Dylan.
"Anyway there will be two cabins when we get there, one group lead by myself and the other by Zoe. So with me will be Robyn, Lofty, Dixie and Ethan. Leaving Dylan, Max, Tess and Cal with Zoe." Connie said before taking her seat and looking through a variety of patient files. Max caught Zoe's eye and smiled at the thought of being able to spend a week with her but was still unsure of her relationship with Dylan, so Max decided to make his move. He moved to the seat opposite Zoe and Dylan and introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Max, you must be Dylan."
"At least we have one brainiac on the team." Dylan said in his normal tone.
"Well I wouldn't count myself as the brains. I'd say I rely more on my charm."
"Right. Is that all?" Dylan said trying to dismiss the conversation.
"Sorry, have I done something to offend you?" Max asked.
"No, I just don't entertain myself in idle chit chat."
"And yet your here talking away to Zoe."
"Dr. Hanna to you thank you. And play nice you two." Zoe said.
"Right. Sorry I didn't realise you two were..." Max said unsure of how to finish the sentence.
"We're what?" Zoe asked glaring at Max.
"Oh Zoe, it's obvious the hospital porter has a crush on a woman who is way out of his league and is now jealous of our chemistry." Dylan said laughing out loud.
"Oh so you two are."
"No. We're not." Zoe replied.
"There's still the possibility of sex." Dylan said making Zoe laugh but Max went silent.
I cake up witht the idea for this story a while back had a few spare moments so thought I would write. I hope you enjoy and to those of you asking for another Zax fanfic, it does mainly revolve around them. And for those of you asking for Connie and Cal fanfiction this will hopefully incorporate this further on in the story. Please R&R and I hope you enjoy :)
