This is my first fanfic, not sure where I am going with it so any ideas would be helpful :) Will try my best to make it exciting for you.
During the staff change over, Terence Cunningham had called a staff meeting, which was compulsory for all staff to attend. No excuses would be accepted. You had to make it. The staff all had an idea as to what it was about. The rumours had been floating around for most of the day. Cunningham just had to be grateful that the hospital was unusually quite so that the majority of the staff could make the meeting.
As the staff congregated in the hospital canteen, which had been closed to the public for half an hour to allow the meeting to occur, they were all chatting amongst themselves and mingling with people from different wards, who they don't often get the chance to talk to. As usual, Sacha Levy made his was towards his best friend, Jac Naylor, who was standing with Jonny, Mo, Elliot, Michael and Malick, complaining. Sacha had considered Jac his best friend since they worked together on Keller when he first arrived at Holby, now by his standards they didn't spend enough time together, so took any opportunity to spend time with her. However, Jac would probably disagree, even though she did consider him her best friend but would deny it if someone asked her. In reality, her's and Sacha's friendship was in many ways much like Jonny's and Mo's friendship, as they could both rely and confide in each other and would provide them with support if it was needed.
"Take no notice of her!" Sacha said to the group while pointing at Jac, jokingly. Much to his surprise she just turned and smirked at him as he wholeheartedly expected one of her glares, that could reduce an F1 to tears with in a couple of seconds.
"Well, you would think being Chairman of the board he would be good at time keeping. Lives aren't going to save themselves." The group just looked at her and shook their heads at her bluntness, not that they would expect anything else from her. "What! Its true," she added defensively, to get her point across. After his hectic night shift on AAU, Michael couldn't help but agree with Jac, silently.
"Come on, Jac. Lighten up. It's only work," Jonny said, causing Jac to turn abruptly towards him and glare, just as Cunningham entered making the whole room fall into silence, instantly. Jonny was glad Cunningham turned up at this point, unbeknown to him, he had just saved Jonny from Jac's wrath. Jonny could help but respect Jac, as she loved her job and would go out of her way to help her patients even if it is at the expense of others, which he witness first hand at Christmas when she went out of her way to fit an old women with the Hertzig device, to make sure that her family was present to say goodbye. This was one of the reasons why he loved her and just flashed her, his cheeky grin, softening her up instantly.
"I don't want to keep you hear for much longer" at which Jac huffed, they had already been kept waiting for ten minutes. "And I wager that you all have an idea as to what this is in relation to."
"Yeah! We all know. Some of us have homes to go to. So hurry up," piped up a familiar american drawl, which the majority of the staff laughed at and agreed with. People could always rely on Michael to voice what they were secretly thinking, for that they were grateful.
"I am quite aware of that, Mr Spence. Thank you, " replied Cunningham, calmly, before continuing. "Our esteemed CEO and Director of Surgery, Mr Hanssen, has unfortunately left us and I am aware of the many rumours being passed around the hospital. In order to clear the matter the board has decided that it is appropriate for you all to see his resignation email that he was happy for you all to see. You should find that in your inbox, later. As for his job, we, the board, will be interviewing to find a new consultant general surgeon, who will work alongside Mr Spence on AAU. Application forms will be made available to those who are interested." he said looking at the excited faces of the general surgery registrars. "We have already decided who will take his place as CEO and Director of Surgery. We all think that this appointment will benefit the hospital greatly. Even if it is only on a temporary basis to begin with."
"Who is it?" called a couple of impatient doctors and nurses eager to go home.
Sorry but left it on a bit of a cliffhanger, felt like a good place to stop. Who do you think will get Hanssen's job? Thanks for reading.
