"Mr Scolfield would you mind stepping out here for a sec"

Michael looked at the doctor in front of him who was holding the door open; he sneaked a look at Sucre sitting on the bed still. He wished he hadn't for his friend who was now obviously feeling better from the dose of painkillers, was giving him the biggest sly grin that he could only be described as the Cheshire cat.

Following her out, Michael was taken to a corner just out of sight of the exam room he had just come out of, something of which he was grateful for.

"Mr Scolfield"

"It's Michael, please call me Michael", and with this he stuck his arm out which she grasped warmly and gently shook.

"Okay Michael" She said smiling, "It seems Fernando just has a sprained ankle however he needs to keep weight of it and be off work for at least a week, will that be a problem?"

"No it shouldn't be, I'll still check in with the boss just for good measure."

"Okay then Michael, he's free to go but I'll help him to the car with you if that's okay?"

"Oh no its ok doctor I've got it covered"

"Still I will see you leave, accidents happen especially with so many stairs to go down in this place"

"Ok, I'll just go and fetch him then we'll be out of here."

Ten minutes later Sucre was sitting happily in the backseat of Michaels black car watching the conversation happening merely a foot away.

"So thanks again for your help doctor I'll make sure he has proper rest, will I need to bring him to you often for checkups and things?" As soon as Michael said those words a loud outburst of laughter could be heard from inside the vehicle, 'Great move Mike' Sucre thought.

"Must be the medication" Michael nervously chuckled whilst saying this, hoping it would be a good enough cover up even though his steady rise in redness on his face was soon enough about to give his plaguing thoughts away.

"Ye probably and the answer is yes but just the once, at the end of the week so I can sign off for his return to work"

"So just the once then, okay." He tried to hide the disappointment that had overcome him after her answer, he'd definitely wanted to see her more than once, and he wanted the time to turn on his charm, gain entry into her mind like she had to his. However whilst Michael was thinking this his attention was obviously elsewhere which Sara didn't mind as it gave her the time to look at him once more, to regain the feeling of newness and attraction that had left her a long time ago. She was too disappointed and confused; her thoughts should not be of the stranger she was gradually coming to know it should be on her current relationship and the salvation that should be happening to improve the partnership. That is if it could be saved.

"Well I best get him home Doctor"

"Please it's Sara" She interrupted a smile following.

"Okay then Sara I'll see you around" And with this he got into the driver seat and watched out of his rear view mirror as she turned away and headed back into the dismal prison.

"You should have just asked her out" Sucre contributed "I think she liked you too"

Was this true? Michael thought, should he just take the risk, jump the boat and ask her out, did he want her disappearing out of his life again? The answer was no.

With this in mind he jumped out of his car to the sounds of Sucre hooting and ran towards his precious doctor Sara.

"Sara wait"
