"Well if that is all" Jac ended as she left the office to continue her day as if nothing had ever happened.

Jac closed Hanssen's office door and walked down the corridor heading towards Darwin. Luckily enough she went down the other side of the corridor, opposite to where Greg was hiding around the corner. Greg did his best to hide and not to be seen, he didn't want Jac to know he overheard everything.

Greg made a run to the Darwin staffroom where Sahira was at the kitchen bench making herself a cup of tea.

"You won't believe what I just heard about Jac!" he said in a low voice, as he walked into the staff room and closed the door shut.

"What about her?" Sahira said as she looked at him and turned to the bench again.

"She shagged Hanssen!" Greg blurted out but slowly in order not to be heard.

"What?!" Sahira also exclaimed but not too loudly, "and you know this, how? I presume she didn't tell you herself, for obvious reasons…"

"I heard her and Hanssen talking about it in his office…" Greg answered.

"oh so you were eavesdropping then?" Sahira said, trying to figure out what Greg was trying to say.

"In my defense, I wont say eavesdropping… I would rather put it as I went to give Hanssen some notes and when I was about to knock on his door, I realized it wasn't closed completely and I heard voices coming from inside…" Greg tried to justify his answer.

"And instead of walking away, you kept listening to a private conversation, even when you knew you shouldn't…" Sahira told him, resting her arms on her hips.

"Oh come on, even you would've done the same…" Greg didn't want to sound like he was the only baddie on Darwin.

"Well yeah I wouldn't say you're not true there…" Sahira said smiling, then lowered her voice as she leaned closer to Greg, "so come on, spill all the details… did she say it directly?"

"Well not directly, I had to put the details together really…" Greg said.

At his words, Sahira placed her hand over her face, as if she was talking to some idiot, "Well what made you think so then?"

"I heard her say 'if this has something that has to do with what happened between us' and then Hanssen said 'no what happened between us stays between us and these four walls' How clearer could it be than that?" Greg explained, mimicking their voices in the process.

"Seriously? That doesn't prove anything…" Sahira didn't buy it.

"Well what's that supposed to mean then?" Greg asked confused.

"Okay… let's say she did sleep with him… why would she do that?" Sahira asked trying to find answers.

"because she loves him?" Greg said sarcastically, "oh come on, why do you think? She obviously wants something from him... remember Lord Byrne? Seriously Sahira, I would expect something smarter coming from you… remember it's Jac we're talking about…" Greg added.

"Youre right… so what do you think it could be then?" Sahira asked, she wasn't at all into Jac's business but since it involved Hanssen, it had to be interesting, she never thought he would ever do something like that.

"I'm not quite sure about that… but… I did hear something like 'experience' and 'capablilty' and 'you've only been made consultant for two years'…" Greg muttered, trying to figure something out.

"it's about the joint director of surgery post!" Sahira blurted out.

"Shhh! Keep it down!" Greg told her, he didn't want to be heard.

"Alright, alright!... remember that post that was available a while ago? About the joint DOS?" Sahira tried to explain.

"Yes… and what you think she shagged Hanssen to get it?" Greg asked, confused.

"Well knowing Jac, I wouldn't rule that out…" Sahira said convincingly.

"Wow… Jac and Hanssen… think that would spice up Hanssen's sex life…" Greg said, kidding.

But just as he said the words, the staffroom door opened and Jac walked in, just in time to hear the last couple of words, but not everything.

"Oh Greg, I've got the most irritating patient in Bay 3, the last thing I want to hear are details about your dirty sex life…" Jac commented as she walked up to the bench to make coffee.

"Well I was talking to Sahira not you…" Greg added.

"Yeah like I would want to know those details… for future reference, keep them to yourself," she said as she turned to Greg and gave her back to Jac. She wanted to play it cool even though she gave him a small smile, to notify him it was all an act.

"Anyway… so uh, do you know who got the joint DOS job?" Greg asked curiously.

"Why would I know? Go ask Hanssen if you're that interested…" Jac told him, as she took her coffee and left the staffroom.

"Ouch… she got it bad!" Greg said, slowly, "to me it looks like she didn't get what she wanted"

"She was more of a fool to think Hanssen would fall for something like that…" Sahira added, but soon later her words were interrupted when Hanssen walked into the staffroom.

"Nice chit-chat we're having aren't we?" Hanssen said sarcastically.

"Um no I was just asking Greg if he could assist me in theatre, but don't worry we got it covered now," Sahira said smiling at Hanssen to play the good girl.

"Ah really, so which procedure would this be then?" Hanssen asked, standing straight, folding his arms across his chest.

"aortic valve replacement" "mitral valve replacement" Greg and Sahira both said at the same time.

"Greg you silly, mine's the aortic replacement and you're assisting Jac later during the mitral valve replacement… he got the list mixed up" she added now turning to Hanssen, smiling.

"I hope there will be no confusion whatsoever.. in the meantime, I do believe your break time is up and you both have patients to see…" Hanssen ordered.

"Yes you're right, we were just going in fact…" Sahira added as she headed towards the door with Greg following.
