"Abby, hey Abby."
Abby turned to see a slightly out of breath Susan Lewis running towards her.
"Hey, you're a hard women to find."
"Well just look for the bitching and arguing and you got me."
"You and Carter fighting again?"
"Do we ever stop?"
Susan laughed.
"Guess not. Any way a few of us are heading out tonight, The Ice Bar on Clark Street."
"Celebrating?"
"Well, it is a Thursday after all."
"Ah, hah."
Abby laughed.
"And we were wondering if you and Luka would like to join us."
"Umm, sure I'll check with him but I'm sure we can make it."
"Ok, well we're all going to be there about 10:00 so I guess I'll see you later.
"You off?"
"Yeah, it takes me a while to get ready."
"See you later then."
"See ya."
Just then Abby spotted Luka awash with patients charts and trying to balance his coffee while he unloaded a few of them. Just as she was about to go over and ask him about that evening she was stopped by Carter.
"Did you order a tox screen for Mr. Stevens yet?"
"Did you tell me to order a tox screen in the first place Carter?"
Carter looked at her with and obvious amount of contempt and replied through gritted teeth.
"No but I thought it would have been obvious."
"Hey you're the doctor Carter, you didn't tell me to order a tox screen, I didn't order a tox screen. Simple as that.
"Are you just trying to wind me up Abby?"
Abby could see he was fuming now.
"I'm not trying to do anything Carter, and besides you can wind yourself up without my help.
Carter looked like he was just about to kill her and probably would have done if he hadn't been interrupted by Dr. Chen.
"Hey, Carter, Abby, you both coming out tonight?"
"Yes."
They echoed together. Both suddenly looked at each other. Neither could be bothered fighting anymore and just scowled at each other.
"Hey, come on grow up you two."
They both shot deathly glances at Chen. Luka had witnessed this from the desk and appeared beside Abby. Wrapping his arms around his girlfriend he assured her that tonight would be fine.
"Come on Abby, we can just go out, have a few drinks and go home again straight away and you don't need to go anywhere near big bad Carter if you don't want to.
Great my boyfriend is mocking me in front of Chen and Carter.
"Whatever Luka, I'm going home, pick me up there."
"See you later."
Giving him a quick kiss on the lips, Abby shot one more murderous glance at Carter and retreated towards the lounge. And Carter who had been watching this exchange with a certain amount of thought took a final look at Abby, shook his head of all other thoughts and got back to work.
