Robert and Alice finished the lunch neither of them wanted and made small
talk. Alice told him she was a lawyer for the justice department, but was
leaving to work for family "concerns".
"So are you serious about your bed warmer?" she teased
"That joke is getting old fast" he answered.." And no you don't have to worry I usually not serious about who warms my bed.
"Well then maybe you don't really want to get to know me at all then. I not the casual type."
" Is that a warning?" He said enjoying the conversation immensely
"Maybe a threat." And as she spoke she rubbed his ankle with her foot.
His pager went off and he grabbed it angrily
"Damn, I've got to get back "
"No rest for the wicked" she said
"I'll get the check on my way out," He said as he got up to leave
"No it's on me go save someone's life and you can impress me with it tomorrow. Be at the house around noon." And before he could walk off she pulled his tie down so his face was even with hers and she kissed him. "Good luck Rocket"
"How did you…" and his pager buzzed again and she pushed him toward the door.
John caught Abby as she was rushing in from her lunch break.
"Where have you been?" He asked eyeing the bags she was bringing in with her
"Oh, I had to pick up a few things" she said as she stuffed them under the admit desk.
"There is a nine year old in curtain 1 that needs a spinal tap, can you help?"
"Sure, Hey are you sure tomorrow is okay, I mean casual right?"
" Oh yeah in fact I thought we might not stay a long time, maybe go for a drive or something after" they walked into the area where the boy was waiting
"Sure Okay" Abby began to prepare for the tap.
At the ER everyone was mobilizing for major trauma. An eighteen wheeler had jackknifed. Accident victims were being choppered. The ER was quiet as they waited for the arrival of the first patients. Then they heard the ambulance and the doctors on the roof saw the chopper. The ER went into action. Eight hours later Robert finished closing the last OR patient, Abby put in the last IV of her shift, John signed off on his last chart and Kerry made sure Luka was covering her weekend shifts. As they walked out they left the day behind them and went their separate ways.
