Randi looked up from the magazine she was reading, she wanted to ask Dave about that man, but she didn't dare to piss him off once again. Carter took the charts Dave was holding, without saying more. Dave walked into the lounge without another word, the best way he could save his friends, was to not have anyone.
He was alone in the lounge, so he just picked up his coat and walked out. Kerry followed the young doctor with her eyes until the door closed behind him. Carter looked questioning at her. "Just take the patients okay?" She said more like a command than a question. "Dr.Carter, the lab is on the phone" He knew that it was the results of Dave 'smoke' "Which line?" "Three" "Dr. Carter here." "This is Dr. Gonald from the lab, we have the results of the smoke you delivered." "What is it?" "It's like you thought, Marijuana" "Thanks" He hung up the phone and looked at Kerry who still stood there. "Dr. Weaver we need to talk." "About what?" "Not here"
They found an empty exam room, "What is it?" She asked, curious about what this was about. "I was outside smoking with Dave today, but I thought his cigarette seemed a little weird, he said it was nothing, but I didn't believe him, so I delivered the butt to the lab. They have analysed it and it is Marijuana.
Kerry looked disbelieving at him. "Dave? Addict?" She asked more to herself than Carter, "I don't think he is an addict, it seemed like he more needed to calm down.
Dave ran into the car parked on the outside of the hospital. Pele was sitting there looking annoyed. "You took your time" "I couldn't just walk out" "Maybe you should quit, to have better time to your family, I mean us, you are one of us, if you want to or not." "I can't quit at the hospital!" "I'll think you should, I mean you don't want mom and pop Malucci to suddenly die in a car crash, do you?"
"I'll quit tomorrow, happy now?" He looked out of the window, he never seemed to get away from this, sometimes they let him be almost a year, but they always came back. He didn't know for how much he could fight this, maybe he just give up and join them? As he looked out of the window he saw the hospital disappearing out of sight. Out of him.
The next day he dragged his legs into the hospital, he hadn't slept a minute during the night. Well this is the last time I have to go here, he thought for himself ironically"
The first one he saw was Carter standing behind the desk, Carter was so lucky. Of course John have had his part of troubles too, but with all those money he could have bought himself freedom from the Mafia.
Every step felt like a mile, even though he wasn't dr. perfect, he loved his job, but for his family he do everything, even quit.
Inside the lounge Kerry Weaver sat reading some papers, she looked up on him when he entered the room.
"Dr. Malucci, I need to talk to you"
"Yes, so do I" He sat down on the couch, toying with the sleeve of his jacket. He didn't like the look on Kerry's face, it was more serious than ever.
"You talk first" Kerry said, maybe he would confess about the marijuana.
"I cant work at the hospital anymore" He spoke each word clearly, as if he needed to convince himself. Kerry's face was one big question.
"Quit?" She finally said.
"Yes something have come up"
"You just quit because of 'something'? "
"Yes."
"Does this something have anything to do with you using drugs?"
"What?"
"Carter got the butt of you cigarette analysed yesterday, it was Marijuana. Does your quitting have anything to do with this?" Malucci couldn't keep himself from laughing out loud.
"I'm not quitting because of Marijuana, I quit because…….."
"Because of what?" She looked at him curiously
