CHAPTER II – Car Crash

"Are you aware of what just happened? You killed a woman in there" said the boss furious. She looked at her apprentice with fiery eyes.

"I…" the blonde dared to mumble, but still terrified.

"You what? Your mistake could have cost someone's life". Looked like Dr. Zambrano wouldn't budge an inch.

"I'm so sorry chief, I promise it won't happen again" regretted the resident.

"For the sake of your career you better hope it won't happen again" replied the brunette, angrily leaving the place. Allison punched her locker so hard her knuckles started bleeding.

The day went by slowly. It was ten to nine and Allison's shift was almost over. She got in the elevator with her bandaged hand and leaned against the wall, closed her eyes and hoped for that day to be just a nightmare. Opened her eyes and there she was, still in the hospital. The door opened on the 4th floor and Dr. Zambrano and Dr. Humbert got in; they were leaving too.

"How was your first day, rookie?" asked Graham smiling.

"Not so good to be honest" answered Allison with a shy voice.

"Oh, I know, this woman here" Graham pointed his thumb at Eva "she bullied you, didn't she?" the man quipped.

"No, it wasn't like that, I made a mistake, and fucked up" said Allison in a useless attempt to control her mouth. Graham's smile suddenly wiped off his face.

"Dr. Cameron, we already talked about this, try to paraphrase, please". The elevator stopped and the three of them came out and walked straight towards the exit.

"Ok, good night girls, see you tomorrow" said Graham while leaving so they heard half of it.

"Can we talk?" Allison enquired while rubbing her own arms to heat up. She wrapped her scarf around her neck. It was a cold night in Los Angeles.

"Sure, tell me" said Eva putting on her black coat.

"Can we go somewhere else where my lips won't turn blue? I'm freezing out here" begged the blonde.

"Let's do something, do you have a car?"

"I don't…" drawled Allison

"Well, I'll give my new intern a ride and we can talk on the way to her place" Eva smiled slightly "What do you think?"

"Are… are you sure? I… wouldn't want to bother"

"I'm sure, and what's with all this mumbling? You little stutterer" The surgeon smiled at Allison for the second time in less than a minute.

"Ok, let's go, which one is it? That little piece of junk right there?" The youngest quipped pointing to a really old scratched car.

"Don't forget I'm still your boss Miss Cameron" Eva bit her lip while smirking.

"Hey! I said junk instead of shit! Where's my recognition?" Allison complaint and then grinned.

"Ha-ha, very funny. This is the one" Eva said as she got closer to the vehicle.

"Whaaaaaa-?! You must be fucking kidding me! A blue and white 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS?! Where did you get this shit?!" shouted for the whole city to hear.

"Putting aside Dr. Zambrano and talking as Eva… I like it when you curse" she whispered as if she didn't want the responsible and bossy side of her to hear. The blonde blushed and didn't even know why "and answering your question, I bought it in a convention, it's highly expensive, so don't eat or drink inside it" She smiled at the blonde again. "Hop on!"
