Chapter 4 Change of Assignment
Days passed and Cindy's ankle was healing nicely. Steve took care of her every need.
"Steve, if you keep this up you will spoil me terribly." Cindy smiled.
"That's what the plan is," Steve replied as he tenderly kissed Cindy.
Back at Community General, Steve's romance with the nurse Cindy was the buzz of the hospital. Everybody was happy for both of them. What Steve and Cindy didn't know was that Mark had just realized how much Cindy had done at Community General. He missed her as a staff member. Mark contacted an old friend who had connections in the National Guard.
Gorden Park's telephone rang.
Gorden Parks, here. How may I help you?
Hey Gordie, this is Mark Slaon. I need a favor from you.
Hey Mark, how the heck have you been?
Fine Gordie, fine. Like I said I need a favor. There is a nurse at the LA Navel Air station. Her name is Captain Cindy James. She did some time here at Community General and now she is back at the Navel Air station. We are dangerously under staffed and if you could pull a few strings and she could work full time here at Community General it would help out a lot.
Sure Mark. Consider it done.
Thanks Gordie. I owe you one.
Bye Mark.
Mark hung up the phone and couldn't wait to tell Cindy and Steve the good news.
A short time later, Gorden called Mark and tell him that Cindy's transfer to Community General was approved.

Steve was walking on the beach when Mark arrived back at the beach house. He walked back to the deck where Mark was waiting for him.
"Hi ya son, Where's Cindy?" Mark asked.
"Dad, she's working the mid shift today. She'll be home later."
"You really love her, don't you Steve?"
"Yes dad, I do. I know she feels the same way about me."
*************
At the LA Naval Air station Cindy was just about ready to end her shift for the day when she was called into her Commanding officers office.
"At ease, Capt. Please have a seat."
Cindy sat in the over stuffed chair near the Col.'s desk.
"Captain, I got a request today from the Reserve Board. It seems that a doctor Mark Sloan from Community General hospital was very interested in your work. Dr. Sloan asked to have you transferred to that facility because they are under staffed. You would continue to be in the reserve and wear the Air Force uniform but you will be working at Community General instead of this station. Does that meet with your approval, Capt.?"
"Yes sir, it does." Cindy answered.
"Very well as of tomorrow you will report to Dr. Sloan at Community General. Good luck, Capt."
"Thank you, sir." Cindy answered as she was dismissed from the Col.s office.
Cindy spent the rest of her shift wondering about the sudden transfer. It was true that things at the station were slow and that Community General was under staffed. She was happy with the transfer. Now she could definately see Steve more. He was always popping into Comunity General to see Mark.

Time had pastqiuckly. Cindy had been permanently assigned to Community General for about a month. Her relationship with Steve was as strong as ever.
