Unexpected Turn
Chapter 3
Carter walked into his house. He was so tired. Tonight had been an eventful one. He didn't know so many people get sick on him. First, a little kid, then an old lady, a teenager with an overdose, and then another kid. He groaned and walked into the kitchen. He looked through the mail and saw a letter from Northwestern. He frown.
"Why are they sending me a letter?" he wondered aloud. He opened the envelope and and read the papers in it.
"What the?" Carter began in surprise. They wanted him to work there, at Northwestern? He groaned. It had a number to call to set up an appointment or ask any questions. He sighed and put the papers on the counter. This was a huge shock to him. He had though about transferring to Northwestern in his first couple of years, but he had grown accustom to County. He loved it there. Everything was there for him. Or was it? He decided to go take a shower and get some sleep. He would call in the morning.

"Good morning, John," Carter's grandmother said, smiling at him as he walked into the dining room the next morning. John smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Morning, Gamma," he said sitting down next to her.
"I didn't mean to pry, but I saw the envelope from the hospital. Northwestern was it?" she asked softly. Carter nodded.
"Yeah, it was Northwestern," he said.
"What did it say?" she asked curiously. Carter sighed and rubbed her hands over his face.
"They want me to work for them. It's a really good opportunity, but I love it at County," Carter began. My friends are there, and Abby. He knew that there could be no more, but he still couldn't stop thinking about her. Gamma nodded and patted his hand.
"What about that sweet young girl?" Gamma asked, referring to Abby. Carter chuckled slightly.
"Abby? No, we are just friends. I have to call them today to ask some questions and maybe set up an appoinment," Carter said.
"Do whatever you feel is right, John? I know you will make the right choice," Gamma said. She then stood up and walked out of the room.
"What is right, huh? Maybe it would be a good chance. I could get a lot more pay, meet new people," he began quietly to himself. He thought about it some more and realized that he would do it. Which scared him a little bit. He went and got the letter and dialed the number on it.
"Hello. Yes, I'm John Carter. I got your letter in the mail. I would like to set up an interview," he began into the phone.

Later that day in the ER.
"Hey Carter, going to get puked on again?" Gallant asked with a chuckle. Carter groaned.
"God. I hope not," Carter muttered as he put his lab coat on. Gallant chuckled and left the room. Carter walked out into the ER.
"Hey Jerry if someone calls for me, please get me," Carter said.
"Oh expecting a call?" Abby asked as she walked over to them. Carter looked at her.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I am. What are you doing here before me?" he wondered.
"My shift started two hours ago," she growled and gave him a chart.
"Woman with poison ivy. She want to see a doctor," Abby said and walked away. Carter groaned.

Abby and Susan walked into the lounge, laughing.
"I can't believe he thought he was going to have a baby," Susan chuckled. Abby nodded.
"I know. He must be really crazy, if he thinks that," Abby laughed. They noticed Carter on the phone waving his hand. They stopped laughing and sat at the table next to him.
"Great! Ok. So, next Wednesday at 2:30? Right. Ok. Thanks. Good bye," Carter said and hugn up the phone.
"Who was that?" Susan asked with a smile.
"A guy at Northwestern. I have an interview with them on Wednesday," Carter said simply and walked out of the room. Susan and Abby looked at each other in shock.
"What?" they asked together running after him.
