"Randi, have you seen Dr. Lewis?" John Carter asked the ditzy desk clerk.
"Uh, yeah. She was in exam three last time I saw her." Randi answered, sucking on a lollipop.
"Thanks." Carter said, heading towards the room.
"John." Carter heard his name being called and turned around.
"Hey Abby. What's up?"
"Uh, nothing. Where are you going?"
"I'm trying to find Susan. I was supposed to meet her for lunch, but I haven't seen her all morning."
"You two are together now right?" Abby asked curiously, but not really wanting to know the answer.
"Uh, yeah, I guess you could say that." John said, uncomfortable about having to discuss this issue with her.
"Hmm." Abby answered, nodding her head.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you before."
"Why? You don't have to apologize. It's not really any of my business. Is it?" She was interrupted by Susan coming through the doors of the exam room.
"Oh, Carter. What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for you. I thought we were going to have lunch." As John spoke to Susan, Abby decided it was her time to walk away. She was halfway down the hall when a woman came rushing up to her.
"Excuse me. Can you tell me where my husband is?"
"Sure, what's his name?"
"Paul. Paul Sobriki. He was brought in a while ago, but I haven't been allowed to go see him and I want to see how he is."
"Abby, can you see if the labs are back for the woman in curtain three?" John asked, coming up to Abby. He looked up at the woman she was talking to and stopped in horror. He slowly backed away.
"John…" Abby tried to explain, but couldn't find the words. John turned away and walked quickly into an empty room. He looked through the adjoining doors and saw Susan talking to her patient. The man turned his head suddenly and caught John's eye. Silent recognition passed through both men. Susan saw Sobriki turn his head and followed his gaze until she saw Carter. She quickly stopped what she was doing and rushed into the other room.
"Carter…" Susan tried to say, but John brushed her off and walked into the occupied room.
"You." John said, with a look of pure hatred in his eyes.
