Faith was playing pool with Greg and having fun watching him flirting with her. She was thinking how to show him that she is not interested in any kind of relationship except friendship. Not only with him, but in general. She wasn't sure that she is ready to it, and she wasn't sure that she will be ready for it soon, or ever. So she asked him to bring another beer, so she could have some time with out him around to figure how to stop the things he started. She leaned down to make a hint in the game and felt that someone staring at her. With a corner of an eye she saw Ray with a surprise look on his face.

-Enjoying the view? – she asked and turned to him with a smirk on her face.

- Not exactly, - he said with the smile.

She raised her eyebrow, waiting him to continue.

Your tattoo on the back of your waist….

Oh yeah, a panther. You like it? It is my nickname since the high school. Actually a have two more tattoos. Luka almost killed me when he saw them for a first time. It is Libra behind my left ear(she showed it to him) and a lily Louisiana in the right on my ribs. Sorry, I won't show it. – she smiled

Ray shook his head in disbelieve.

-What? – she asked

He took off his pullover and stayed in a t-shirt with out sleeves. At that moment Sam, Morris and Abby started to whistle.

-DocRock doesn't waist his time- exclaimed Morris. – That guy knows how to impress a girl.

- Shut up Morris. That girl undressed Barnett less than in an hour. – exclaimed Abby with a huge grin on her face. – Go, go girl, made him strip, we've waited for it for too long.

Neela entered the Ike's and search for familiar faces. Tony for some reason said that he will miss this party and will wait for her at home to finish what they started earlier in conference room. She was tired from a long shift and wasn't sure that she wanted to continue, so she decided to call Tony later and cancel their plans. She saw Greg hanging around the new girl and trying his best to impress her. The girl played pool and kicked Greg in this game. Or was he just giving it to her? Well she is cute, she could understand why Greg acted like that. So she decided to join them and introduce herself. She came closer at that moment when Abby finished whistle for a second time.

-What's going on? – Neela asked.

- Faith carries out the erotic dreams of a female half of ER stuff. Though I think that you will not see anything new. – answered Sam. – Oh God, he's hotter than the sun!!!

Neela watched Ray in his grey sleeve less t-shirt, who ignored the comments and looked only at the petite brunette in front of him and the girl who watched Ray's actions with a curios look on her face. Neela somehow felt uncomfortable and very, very jealous as she saw Ray came closer to a girl and showed his panther and lily tattoos.

-What a cheap move- she said. – I never thought Ray will act like that, especially in public.

Abby turned to Neela and said in a cold voice.

Kids just sharing their tattoos, which as I understood are almost similar, and since when you care about how is ray acting in front the girl? Jealous?

Who? Me? He can do what ever he wants. The same tattoos, how sweet. So she can call him a brother now?

Faith looked at Ray's tattoos with a smile.

Wow – she said. – Impressive. Now I understand your surprised look. Cause at one moment I thought that you saw a my hidden tail on my back.

Ray smirked. – Well, sorry to disappoint you, I am not interested in tails.

Ouch! That hurts! – she replayed and they started to laugh.

At that moment Faith heard Neela's last comment about a brother.

Hey, girl I am sorry if he damped you, but it wasn't my fault. – she said to Neela and then turned back to Ray. – So, it's your time to hint in the game.

But I am not playing pool.- he said.

I know. But you should to lean down to make a hint and this is my turn to enjoy the view….bro- answered Faith and winked to Ray.

Everybody who was near them and heard Faith's last comment addressed to Neela, stood in silence, while Neela tried to pick up her jaw from the floor.

-WTF???

-Neela, cool down- said Abby. – I know she is not right and she will apologize I promise, but you're first who started.

- I started?

- Yes you! You acted like a jealous teenager. If you want Barnette, than go and get him. We all know he loves you. If you don't leave the guy alone. Let him to have a life. And just in case, I don't think that he and Faith will become more than friends. They are too similar.

Greg came with two more beers and watched the crowed.

What now? – he said.

Nothing – Faith replayed. – I just own an apologize to Neela.

Faith came closer to Abby and Neela.

Look, Neela I am sorry. I really am. I had no right to say the things I've said, but I hate when people judge me just by the look. If I prefer to wear Rock style it doesn't mean that I am the dumb slut. I thought you should now about ut more than anyone here. I am not planning to get into his pants. Not today, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow or next week. So don't worry about that. And if you got my point I offer to start from the beginning. I am Faith, please to meet you.

Neela stood in the silence for some time, than answered.

I am Neela. I just come to say Hey. My boyfriend is waiting for me, so sorry for leaving the party so soon. And it is none of business do you have plans for that guy or not.

Then she turned around and walked away, calling Tony on her way out. She suddenly decided to take his offer for the evening.

At the same time Greg talked to Ray.

Look, don't get what a hell is happened but I am surprised, that you did not defend Neela.

Neela acted like a pregnant dog without a cause. I am not saying that Faith did the right thing, that girl should watch her tong and temper. But we did not nothing to cause the rebel Nella made, and she has no right to act that way especially after her making up perty in a conference room with Gates today.

Goddamnit. I feel like in the middle of soap opera here.

When Faith returned, both guys pretend that nothing happened.

You two, stop pretending – said Faith. – I know I screw up the evening. And I am sorry for that.

Forget it – said Greg – Let's finish this game and beer.

Faith smile at him.

-Thank you.

Then she turned to Ray.

Sorry about that. It's all is none of my business actually. I don't want to cause more troubles than I already did. And I don't want to stand in the middle of you two.

It's OK Faith.

Morris looked at Abby.

I guess that wasn't the last time when ER stuff will be in the middle of battlefield.

I guess you're right Morris. But trust me, that girl is not that bad.

I know that. Some how she made us to show our real faces and intentions when she is around. May be it is for good.

May be – said Abby. – May be.

So how do you think she and Greg? Huh – said Morris with a huge Grin.

Over Lukas dead body – laughed Abby

- And how about she and Barnette?

Over Ray's or her dead body.

She and me? Huh?

Morris come on, she will eat you at the breakfast

It means

It means over your dead body…..dude….
