Back at one
Part 2
Catherine arrived the next day hoping to meet the man who had found her wallet "Catherine?" a voice said from behind her
"Oh so you must be Michael?" she said
"Yeah I guess you're looking for this" Gallant said holding her wallet out
"Thank you very much," she said, "So are you a doctor or a med student?" she asked
"A med student fourth year" he said
"Oh neat I'm a fourth year too," Catherine said taking a seat behind the desk
"Well, where did you go to med school at I don't remember you from any of my classes" Gallant said
"Oh that's cause I went to the school in Washington, to tell you the truth the Marines are paying my way through med school" Catherine said
"Marine huh? I'm in the Air Force" Gallant said
"Oh so what rank are you?" she asked
"Lieutenant" Gallant said
"Well I guess that's one more thing we have in common Michael" Cat said "Lieutenant Catherine Mackenzie" Cat said standing up
"Well I better get back to work otherwise Carter will be looking for me" Gallant said
"Nice to meet you Michael" Cat said
"Oh just call me Gallant everyone else does" Gallant said leaving
"What was that all about?" Chuny said from behind her
"What do you mean?" Cat said blushing
"Oh come on do you think I'm blind, I could totally tell that you were flirting with him" she said
"I was not now if you'll excuse me I have some work to do" Cat said leaving the admit area almost tripping off the chair
"In love?" Haleah asked
"Oh yeah" Chuny said with a smile. Catherine tried the whole day not to run into Gallant until she was called into her first trauma
"Cat, what are you doing right now?" Carter asked
"Um I've got a disimpactation in four that Pratt wanted me to do" Catherine said
"You want to do something else?" he asked
"Please" she said
"Good there is a trauma coming in auto versus pedestrian" Carter said
"I'm right behind you" Cat said running to get a gown and some gloves, she ran outside to meet the ambulance with Carter when she saw him out there
"Catherine" Gallant said a little uneasy
"Gallant, you helping too?" she asked
"Yeah I've got the truck driver with Weaver" Gallant said
"Cool, good luck" Cat said as she saw the ambulances pull up
"Okay one, two, three" Carter said pulling the patient onto the bed "Cat you ever done an intubation?" Carter asked
"On a cadaver" she said
"Well here is your chance to do it on a live one" Carter said handing her the scope
"Okay" Cat said a little uneasy, she took the scope and performed it like a pro
"Good job Cat I think this patient is stable now" Carter said pushing the patient towards the elevator. Cat stood in the middle of the room for a while she couldn't believe she pulled that off so well she stood there until she heard someone come into the room
"How's your patient?" Gallant asked
"Good I even got to perform my first intubation" Cat said
"Wow, I didn't get to do one of those for at least a month" he said
"Yeah and it only took me three months in med-school to actually get it right" she laughed
"Cat what are you doing in here?" Pratt asked from the doorway
"Carter asked me to help him on a trauma" she said
"Well I don't see a trauma in here right now get back to work" Pratt said walking off
"Is he always in this good of a mood?" she asked Gallant
"Sometimes" Gallant said
"See you around" Cat said walking off
"Yeah see you around" Gallant said walking off

Later in the lounge
"So do you like her?" Abby asked Gallant
"I don't know I mean I've only known her for a short time but I feel like this instant attraction to her" he said
"Well then why don't you ask her out?" Abby asked
"Cause I'm to nervous I haven't been out on a date since I don't know when" he said pacing the room
"Just go up to her take her aside and ask her plain and simple" Abby said
"Okay I can do that" Gallant said getting up to go find her. Gallant found her at the desk talking on the phone
"Yeah I know, don't worry we can talk about it when I get home" she said on the phone
"I love you too, bye" she said hanging up the phone "You need something Gallant?" Cat asked
"Um no I was just looking for Carter" he said
"Oh well I think he went into curtain three" Cat said picking her chart up and walking away. Abby came up behind him
"Any luck?" she asked
"No I think she has a boyfriend" Gallant said mustering a smile and walking away
