Sisters and Secrets
Roxanna MacMillan had landed in Hungary with little information in Morocco about project Laszlo, her concern grow daily over John Gaskell even her daily phone call with Hanssen didn't help. Roxanna found that John had manage to hide all information connecting Morocco and project so her last hope was a hospital in Hungary to find information fast before John destroys his career or worst.
Roxanna knew how to contact her sister Rebecca, both sister where really close since childhood and both sister gave each other nicknames with Rebecca calling Roxanna 'Rox' and with Roxanna calling Rebecca 'Becca'. But once Roxanna went to medical school in America their close relationship was no existing with Roxanna spending her time studying but 2 years later Rebecca decided to follow in her sisters footsteps and applied for the same medical school as Roxanna. On her first day Roxanna introduced Rebecca to Henrik and John.
As a few years passed Roxanna grew concern with her sister's close relationship with John as Rebecca spent all her time with John either them on romantic and expensive dates or John teaching her on neurosurgery as he was now Senior Neurosurgeon which he achieved within 2 years of graduating. Roxanna knew how much her sister was in love with Cardiothoracic's but Rebecca qualified as a Neurosurgeon.
Since Rebecca graduated her relationship ended with Gaskell and she went on to become one of America's top medical facilities as Chief medical Researcher which made her know of all projects being developed in Project Laszlo which was happening in Hungary. So this what brought Roxanna to see her sister
Roxanna walked up to the reception desk
"Yes I'm Roxanna MacMillan, I'm here to see"
"No need for that Rox" Roxanna stopped what she was saying when she heard her childhood nickname soon she turned around.
"Its a long time since I've been called that Becca"
With a smile now appearing on Rebecca's face both sister decided to hug.
"I've missed you Becca"
"Same here Rox"
"How have you been"
"Brilliant" Rebecca turned to the women on the reception desk " Hannah I will be taking Miss MacMillan up to my office so if anyone that happens to phone ask them to leave a message and let me know later unless its urgent"
"for sure would you like someone to bring up tea or coffee"
Rebecca turned to her sister
"None for me thanks"
" No thank you Hannah "
Roxanna followed Rebecca to her state of the art office
"Please take a seat " said Rebecca so Roxanna sat in the chair next to Rebecca's desk.
"Wow Becca this is Amazing "
" Yeah it is"
"So what have you been working on"
" My clinic in America are researching on how infections occur after surgery so we can minimize the numbers of patients getting readmitted into hospital because of these infections, I have been working very closely with Sasha Levy and Serena Campbell who work in your hospital"
"Yes Serena and Sasha are prefect for your research"
"Rox what is the real reason you're here surely not to talk about my research"
" I'm here because of this" said Roxanna passing a folder to Rebecca who began to read it
"Using stem cells to help patients with complex spinal and neurological injuries injurie, wow Rox you have moved up in the years"
"Please Becca"
"Fine how do you select you patients"
"Patient History, Injury and if the patient would survive infections post op"
"Seriously Roxanna"
"Its actually my colleague that chooses the patient"
"Communication is key sis" said Rebecca how raised her eyebrow " So whats the name of the project"
"Project Laszlo"
There was a silence as Rebecca dropped the folder then stood up to the window"
"John Gaskell's project"
"yeah"
"I don't want nothing to do with the project or him for that factor"
"Please Becca, your the only on that can talk to him, heck he taught you"
"how long has this trial been going on for"
"a couple of months at least"
"Really is that what he's told you, Rox he hasn't Ben doing this for a couple of months he's been doing this for years, he's playing god"
"Hes not himself"
"do you blame him when you actually given him actual patients "
"Please Becca"
"this is career suicide, please don't tell me your involved"
Roxanna stayed silent
"Oh my god you are, Rox this is the reason why I finished it with John in America"
"So how do I stop him"
"You can't Rox"
"you could stop him"
"me"
"Becca come back to Holby with me"
"Roxanna I can't I have my work which is important including important commitments"
"Like what"
"Roxanna I cant"
"Thanks anyway"
Roxanna stood to leave
"Rox, Johns using ours fathers research project"
"He cant, he wont"
"Its true dads and John's project is exact same"
Then a knock on the door disturbed them, it was Hannah
"Sorry Rebecca I am disturbing you"
"No your fine, what is it Hannah"
"Well its to say that Amy hasn't been feeling well from the day care, they have tried to phone you but you didn't answer so they phones here. I am finished here so I can look after her until you finish"
"That would be a great help, Hannah"
"No problem" as she was about to leave Rebecca turned to her sister and then shouted at Hannah before she left the room.
