Anna pulls away from Dani's house. She is not in the mood to head for home just yet… it is time to find
Harvey. "Hey… it's me… so… where are you at?" A smile crosses her face as she hangs up the phone.
Back to the city...it is…
Anna walks into a very swanky club. As she searches the crowd, she sees just the man she is looking for.
Harvey is sitting at a table with some friends. A huge smile crosses his face as Anna approaches. He
loves when she dresses to the nines… now that is his lady. He stands up and greets Anna and introduces
her around he pours her a glass and taps the seat next to him. The night just got a hell of a lot more
interesting.
Anna is startled to find that Mark has chosen the same venue to spend the rest of the evening. Mark
approaches the table. Anna knows that Harvey knows Mark… son of a bitch… does this curse ever end.
"Harvey old man… how the hell are you?" Harvey rises to shake hands with Mark. Harvey knows the
story with Anna and Mark and that she just had dinner with him. He makes the introductions and is
cautiously protective of Anna. He enjoys Anna being around and doesn't want to ruin that. Mark joins
the group and the evening continues. Despite Mark's presence, Harvey and Anna have a great time. It
was still worth staying. She and Harvey make plans to meet up at his place.
Next Morning:
Nico comes into Matt's office and slaps down a section of the paper. There it is across Page Six…
pictures of Anna and Mark. "What the hell is our Doctor up to?" Matt picks up the paper as Devin
walks into the office. "What the hell is the connection between those two?" He has obviously seen the
paper too. "Get her in here… now." Devin directs his tone towards Nico. Nico nods in agreement and
pulls out his phone. He is a little off his traditional game given the news he received last night but right
now… business is business.
An hour or so later, Anna storms through the door, her appearance is what startles all of them. She is
dressed in an elaborate costume. "What is so hellfire important that you have commanded my
presence at this very moment? I am not your freaking genie… I don't just appear when you rub the
damn bottle."
Anna's rage is directed squarely at Nico. Matt walks in and quietly asks Devin why their Doc is dressed
as the Queen of Darkness. Raphie enters the room a moment after Anna. Devin slaps the page down on
the table in front of her. "You called me away from sick kids on Halloween for a freaking picture in Page
Six… it is not exactly the epitome of credible reporting." Devin squares up with Anna. "What are you
and Mark Cuban up to?" Anna is not exactly in the mood to be confronted. "Up to? That is quite a
broad assumption on your part. I have not spoken to Mark Cuban for almost a decade prior to the
other day… and before you (she points at Nico) start digging. I introduced Mark to Marshall a long, long
time ago… and yes… that is how they knew each other… and before you ask… I took this damn job as a
favor to Marshall… I was not at the club with Mark… I was at the club with Harvey… and yes… Harvey
and Mark know each other welcome to the incestuous damn the Danes that is my social life… now if you
will excuse me… I have somewhere to be." Anna storms out of the room with Raphie in tow. "Raphie…
bring me the head of that Rat Bastard." Raphie dressed in full Steam Punk regalia. "Yes, my queen."
Anna rounds the corner to find TK standing with Zak Fletcher. Zak is a famous TV personality who used
to date Anna. Anna sees Zak. She looks at Raphie. "Perfect…. Just… perfect. Mock that curse again…"
Raphie looks at her… "I believe… I believe." TK and Zak turn towards the costumed figures. "Anna is
that you?" Zak takes one look at the costume. He knows that costume. TK met Zak at a club last night
and TK is showing him around the Hawks. "You know the Doc." Zak smiles at TK… "I know your Doc
quite well." Zak instantly makes his way towards Anna. "Anna, I cannot believe that you are here… You
are with the Hawks now? From the dress… which by the way… You know I love that dress… and you are
still at the hospital aren't you?" Anna smiles and hugs Zak. "Zak, baby how are you." TK is stunned that
they know each other that well. Unbeknownst to Anna, Dani is watching this scene unfold from the end
of the hall with Nico. Zak greets Raphie with a bear hug. "How do you two know each other?" TK asks
the question of both of them. Zak gets a huge grin and grabs playfully at Anna. "Anna and I spent some
time together in Vegas." Anna slaps Zak on the arm for the revelation. "I would love to chat but I have
a wing full of kids to attend to. Zak, you are on me babe. TK… I will catch you later. Raphie… Rat
Bastard." Zak falls in next to Anna with a quick comment under his breath. "God… I love this woman."
TK is stunned as the three depart and he is suddenly joined by Dani and Nico. "Was that Zak Fletcher?"
TK looks at her for a moment. "Yeah… Met him at the Bungalow last night." Nico knows who Zak is too.
"So what was that with Anna?" TK still has the same shocked look on his face. "Apparently our Doc and
Zak spent some time together in… Vegas…" He turns to face Nico. "Our Doc is a total pimp."
Nico walks into Anna's office to see it filled with flowers with more being brought in by security. He
pulls one of the cards, the card from Mark Cuban. "Happy Birthday, Sweet AnnaB." Her birthday is
Halloween, fitting. "Why does it look like the starter kit for a parade float in here?" Dani walks around
Nico into Anna's office. Nico holds up the card. "Her birthday?... Wow, our Anna is a popular girl."
Nico looks around the room.
"Apparently… TK was right. Our girl is a pimp."
The next day, Anna walks into her office with Raphie… "All to the hospital if you would, please…" Anna
removes the cards from the flowers and places them on her desk as she sits in her chair. She quietly
goes through the cards. Raphie reads them after Anna gently tucking them into his planner. Nico
appears in her office. Nico pops his head in the door. "Anna… can I talk to you?" Anna looks at Raphie
for a moment. "I need a coffee… come on." She motions to Nico. Nico notices the fresh coffee sitting
on her desk, the Doc… wants to talk.
The two of them walk into the stadium and sit in two of the seats. "What's on your mind?" Nico is quiet
for a moment. "Anna… how did you know?" Anna looks straight ahead. "About which thing?" Nico
knows exactly what Anna is talking about. "Mark told me about the job offer last night." Nico is
shocked that she knows this detail. He had not told anyone and was hoping that Mark had not either.
"He did?" Nico is also staring straight ahead. "It's amazing the power of certain company… the vodka
did hurt either." "Anna, I haven't told anyone." Nico's phone starts buzzing incessantly. It is Maggie…
Then Rock… over and over again. He silences the phone. "What are you going to do?" Anna does not
break her stare straight ahead. "Well as you know… fate has a way of changing things… just when you
don't expect it. How did you know Dani was pregnant?" Anna looks at him for a moment. "Nico… you
know me… I was a Navy doctor for a long time… wasn't my first rodeo. It was an educated guess… one
she asked me to confirm." The conversation continues between the two of them.
Matt's Office:
Matt is sitting at his desk as Noelle enters his office. "Hey there…" Matt looks up with a smile. "Hey
yourself." Noelle sits in the chair in front of him. "You have time for dinner tonight?" Matt gives her a
curious look. "Something on your mind?" Her expression becomes serious. "We need to talk." Matt
realizes her expression is changing. "Sure… 7?" Noelle's expression lightens a little. "Great, I'll see you
then." She gets up and head out the door with Matt's eyes following.
