Me: Hey guys. So Peter's the secret admirer and now, he and Lu are an
'item'. Am I good or what? I know I am! Anyway, here's Chapter 14. I hope
everyone likes it. It's not as much drama. I don't believe there are any
rapes or deaths this time so don't worry. This story is full of chaos and I
love that. I hope you do to. I don't own anything but my insanity and
incredibly romantic and drama queen mood. See you later.
*****
It was a little bit into September and Lu and Peter were continuing to date each other. The weather was still warm but fall wasn't to far around the corner. Work was going well for most doctors. Things were still awkward between some people because of the incident with 'the inspector'. Andy spent most of her spare time with her kids, Jessie and Lizzy and very little time with Milo anymore. Even though she wanted to spend more and more time with him, but her children were her first priority right now. Nobody knew about Lu and Peter except for Lana, but not for long. They were being more affectionate towards each other and Andy always noticed things like that. She decided to talk to Lu about it.
"Delgado, can I talk to you?" Andy asked one day at work during their break. Lu entered Andy's office and sat down ready to chat.
"What is it?" Andy sat down in front of her and hesitated for a moment.
"Ok. I'm not one to pry into my colleague's personal affairs but." She paused. "Umm..what's going on with you and Riggs?"
Lu laughed. "Oh. I see how it is! I have to follow you around and bug you to death before you'll talk to me about personal things and now you just expect me to open up about everything?"
"Yeah?" Andy said unsure of her response.
"You wish." Lu stood up to leave.
"Delgado! Come on! You know that I'm eventually going to find out anyway so just tell me."
"Umm..I don't think so." Lu walked out of Andy's office laughing at her and thinking about how ridiculous it was to keep her personal life a secret from a woman she's been working with for a long time. A woman who she thought of, not only as a co-worker but a friend, especially after everything they had been through together. Andy went back to her lab papers but couldn't concentrate on them so she decided to visit Milo.
Andy knocked on his office door and obeyed his command of 'come in.'
"Oh. Hey Andy." He stood to give her a hug and kiss.
"Hi." After a few kisses she asked him something. "Milo, can you help me with something?"
"Anything. What? Do you need a consult?"
"No. This really has nothing to do with work."
"Oh. Well what is it?" He asked curiously.
"Ok." She made her way to the couch but didn't sit. "This is going to sound really.stupid..but I need you to." She tried to put it in the right words before saying them aloud. "I need you to play 'spy' with me."
He walked to her and wrapped is arms around her torso and smiled playfully. "Do you mean sexually?" Andy pulled away from him at his ridiculous questioning.
"No!"
"Oh. Darn." He pulled her back and she laughed.
"Listen. Delgado won't tell me what's going on with her and Riggs?"
"You mean the nurse, Peter?" Andy nodded. "There's something going on between them?"
"Yes. I noticed it about a week ago. They seem closer in a way."
"Well, just because they are closer in a way doesn't mean it's like 'that.' They could feel better around each other because they're like brother and sister or something."
"No. I don't think it's like that. I could feel it. You know? I mean, it was more than just a brother sister kind of love. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Yeah I get it. So what do you want me to do about it?"
She held him tighter and smiled. "I want you to play Spy with me."
"I still think that sound sexual."
Andy slapped his arm. "Would you stop that?!"
"Sorry. I can't help myself." He started to kiss her neck impatiently.
"Um..Milo."
"Hmm."
"Can we concentrate on Delgado and Riggs right now?" She pulled away from him again.
He sighed. "All right."
"Good. Now, I want to see what's going on with them. She keeps me guessing and it's driving me crazy."
"Ok. What's your plan?"
"Well..I was thinking, we could eavesdrop and umm...do some army maneuvers that I was taught by my dad. And things like that?"
"You mean to tell me, that you want me to sneak around with you, in the non- sexual way." Andy rolled her eyes at him. "And spy on Lu and 'supposively' her new boyfriend?"
"Yeah. That's exactly what I want you to do."
"You're crazy."
"What?!"
"You're crazy."
"I heard you the first time. How am I crazy?"
"Because. Andy you're asking me to spy on a friend of mine because she won't talk to you about her personal life, even when you didn't open up to her until after about a month of us dating."
"That was different."
"How?"
"Well, it was me. This is her. She normally opens up about personal things, I don't. Unless it's with you, my children, or my parents."
"I see."
"You do." He nodded. "Will you do it?"
He sighed and paused for a minute. "Ok. I'll spy on them with you."
"Great." She kissed him as a 'thank you'. And he pulled her back after they broke for another one.
Later that day Andy went home to get a few supplies for the 'spy' job and came back to find Milo waiting for her. He saw the microphones and speakers and all the electronics and was amazed.
"Don't you think this is going a bit overboard Andy?"
"No. I want to find out what's going on. And believe me, when I want something, I get it." She shoved some of the supplies into his hands and abbs and smiled.
"I can see that." He looked at the supplies and then looked back her. "And what in god's name am I supposed to do with this?"
"You're going to plant one of these microphone's in Riggs office, or 'massage room'. He has all different names for it."
"What?!"
"You're going to plant-"
"Andy!"
"What?"
"This is crazy!"
"No it's not!" She yelled back and him and pointed to the door.
"How do you want me to put this in his office?"
"You'll figure it out. Sneak in while he's not there. I'm going to ask Lana to retrieve some paperwork for me upstairs and I'm going to page Delgado to the ER. Nick is helping me set all that up. He has a patient down there, or should I say actor. She's going to pretend to be ill and she's going to keep Delgado preoccupied while I plant this microphone in her office." She held up the mic.
"It's amazing how much you still amaze me even though I've been dating you for almost two years."
"I know. It is." She smiled and shoved the equipment that was in his hands into his lab coat pocket and pushed him out the door. "Go." He sighed and left thinking about how he would plant a microphone in Peter's office.
Andy walked out with her equipment in her pocket and approached Lana.
"Hawkins will you go upstairs on the top floor and get a file for me?"
"Sure. Which one?"
"It's Kelly Pipers. It might be hard to find, because it's either under that name or Kelly Walls. I'm not sure. Just look for both."
"All right."
"Thank you." As Lana left the intercom came on.
"Dr. Delgado to the ER. Dr. Delgado to the ER." Lu came running out of her office and headed towards the ER. Andy smiled that her plan was going great so far. Milo stood in the hallway to keep a look out for Lana. Andy signaled him that she was going in and he gave her the thumbs up. She entered Lu's office and shut the door behind her. Next she pulled the microphone out of her pocket and plugged it into wall and taped it to the bottom of one of Lu's desks. After that, she turned it on the right channel and wrote down the number of the channel. Before leaving she looked through some of Lu's papers on her desk to see if she could find anything. 'Found you.' She thought to herself when she found a little piece of paper with a bunch of phone numbers on it. Milo approached the door.
"Hurry. Lana's coming back."
"Oh." She hurried out of the office and back to the receptionist desk. Milo left so he was out of Lana's sight. "Did you get the file?"
"I couldn't find it. I looked and looked Dr. Campbell but there is no Kelly Piper or Kelly Walls."
"It's ok. It might be somewhere else. Thanks anyway." Andy walked away to meet Milo around the corner to discuss the plan to get into Peter's office.
"Did you find anything?" He asked.
"Yep. A whole list of numbers where on her desk. I'll check them out while your getting that microphone into Riggs office."
"I already did that."
"What? When?"
"When you were putting the other one in Lu's office. I went in there when Lu was called to the ER and Lana left. Peter followed Lana into the elevator. I guess he was going to go check up on something. Perfect timing right?"
"Yeah. It was. Ok, I'll page Nick to tell him to cut the acting so Delgado will come back and I'll keep this microphone on me the entire time so I can hear if they have a private conversation in one of the two offices."
"This is so sneaky!"
"I know. I love it. Which is why I joined the army. I got to do a lot of stuff like this throughout my years. Lot's of fun. Now, come on. I have a few free minutes until I have to get back to work. Why don't we look up these numbers?" She held the list up and started to walk to her office with Milo.
After a few minutes of research, Milo's pager went off and he had to leave in a hurry. Andy continued the research by herself. The first number was a person's named Justin Barcherate. 'Jewish?' Andy thought. The second number and third numbers were a person's home and cell named Sarah Barcherate. 'This must be a patient's family or something.' She thought again. The last number was an anonymous cell phone. 'How can there be no registration of a cell phone. That's crazy.' She was confused. Delgado knocked on her office door and Andy quickly hid the list and exited the research on the computer.
"What can I do for you Delgado?" She asked innocently.
"You will not believe this patient in the ER I just had. There was something about her that seemed so strange. Like she wasn't really sick or hurt but just playing around. Kind of aggravated me."
"Oh. That's odd. What did she have?"
"Nothing. I didn't have enough time to do a complete check up on her before she got up and told me that she felt a lot better and walked away."
"Really? That's so strange."
"Yeah. I thought it was."
"Is there something else you needed?"
"Not really."
"Feel like opening up yet?"
"There's nothing to open up about Andy."
"Ok." Lu stood up and left the office. Andy went back to her research but before she got any further, the ER paged her.
Later in the day Andy was standing around Lana's desk looking to see if Peter or Lu were anywhere in sight.
"Who you looking for Dr. Campbell?" Lana asked curiously.
"Oh. I was just noticing that Nurse Riggs isn't around lately."
"Oh. That's because he went home. I saw him in the elevator and he was on his way to get his things from the little garden on the roof and then was going to leave. Said he had some business to take care off."
"You're kidding?" She was shocked.
"Umm.no."
"Ok. Umm...hold my calls and page me if anything important comes up." Andy started to walk away.
"Where are you going?"
"I feel like visiting my fiancée is that a problem?"
"No. I was just wondering."
"Ok, well bye." Andy continued to walk away to the elevator. When she got to Milo's office, she made sure he wasn't busy with a patient or anything and then burst into his office. "Riggs left."
"What?" Milo was surprised to see her there.
"He left for the day. Hawkins told me downstairs. Tell me. What was the point of setting all the equipment up if he's just going to leave? They're not going to have any conversations if he's not here." She was pacing and very upset. "Plus, I couldn't find any connection with those phone numbers. The first three were some patient or something and the last was unlisted."
"Andy, calm down." He stood up and stopped her from pacing.
"Sorry. I just wanted to know so bad, I guess I pushed to far." She laughed at herself and he hugged her. This calmed her down a lot.
"There's always tomorrow." He mentioned and this made her smile, playfully but evilly.
The next day Andy snooped around Lu and Peter for half the day to see if she could pry anything from them. When she was just sitting in her office, she heard voices coming from her lab coat pocket. After a few seconds of wondering she realized it was Lu and Peter in one of the two offices. She turned the volume up and put it on her desk while closing the door. Andy listened carefully as she recorded the conversation.
"So, what are we going to be doing tonight?" The voice was Lu's.
"I don't know. What do you want to do?" This voice was Peters. Andy smiled. Her plan was working.
"We could go to a movie or dinner? I don't have any plans and Marc is going to be at his friends house all evening."
"How about I bring Chinese and we order a movie off of the TV. You know. Cuddling and snuggling on the couch. The whole night together."
'This is getting juicy.' Andy thought while still listening to their conversation through the microphones.
"Maybe we could also-" The voices stopped. Andy tapped the microphone and fiddled with its knobs to get it working again. It had either gone dead or somebody found it.
'Oh, no. What if I've been caught?' She wondered. Andy stepped out of her office casually and started towards Lu's office. 'Maybe I could just walk by to see what's going on?' She thought. 'But what would I be stopping by for? Maybe I shouldn't.' She decided that she wasn't going to and walked straight past her office and to the elevators to talk to Milo. When she got there he was busy so she waited very impatiently outside his office. He noticed her when he walked his patient out the door.
"Oh, hi. What's going on?" Andy pulled the microphone out of her pocket to show him. "OH! Did they start talking?" He led her into his office.
"Yeah." Andy played him the tape of Peter and Lu's conversation.
"What happened to it? And by the way, this is so incredibly wrong of us Andy." She rolled her eyes at him.
"I don't know why it shut off Milo. It just stopped letting me listen to the conversation. I need time to get in there and check to see if the microphone is messed up or something."
"Ok. Andy, stop! STOP! You're scaring me. This is beyond normal. This is invasion of privacy. Sweetie, I love you with all my heart but you have got to stop before you go totally insane. As if you weren't already there!"
"Am I really acting that crazy?"
"Yes you are." She sighed and they sat down on his couch. "Now, calm down. When Lu and Peter aren't in their offices I'm going to go in there and unplug the microphones so you can't eavesdrop on them anymore. I shouldn't have even helped you in the first place. It was crazy. And I'm sorry if that sounds harsh and cruel but it's true. You've gone overboard and I think it's time you just wait for Lu to come talk to you."
"You're right. I should wait for her to come to me instead of invading her privacy. Can you forgive me for dragging you into this?"
"Yes I can. But you'll have to work for it."
"How do you mean?"
"I think you know what I mean Andy?"
"Oh. That, well of course I'll do that." They ended up kissing for about a half an hour before they went back down to the Andy's office to wait for Lu and Peter to leave so Milo could remove the microphones.
Lu walked over to Andy sitting in the waiting room, waiting to talk to another patient about a serious medical problem.
"Hi."
"Oh, hey Delgado. What can I do for you now?"
"I was wondering when you're free next. Maybe we could go get some coffee and talk." Andy went wide-eyed that she was suggesting opening up to her.
"Umm.I can right after this last patient. It's almost my break time anyway."
"Ok. I'll see you in the court-yard cafeteria?"
"All right." Andy smiled as she walked away. After she was done with her patient she met with Lu and they talked about Peter most of the time and Lu told her everything that had happened. 'So Milo was right? I just had to wait for her to open up to me.' She thought to herself while Lu was blabbering away like a teenager about Peter, her new love.
*****
Me: Hey guys. I thought that chapter was a low-key thing. I was sick of all the drama so I figured why not make Andy go crazy over Lu's confessions and stuff. I thought it was good. Why don't you review it and tell me if you think the same thing. Thanks guys.

It was a little bit into September and Lu and Peter were continuing to date each other. The weather was still warm but fall wasn't to far around the corner. Work was going well for most doctors.

It was crazy. And I'm sorry if that sounds harsh and cruel but it's true. You've gone overboard and I think it's time you just wait for Lu to come talk to you."
"You're right. I should wait for her to come to me instead of invading her privacy. Can you forgive me for dragging you into this?"
"Yes I can. But you'll have to work for it."
"How do you mean?"
"I think you know what I mean Andy?"
"Oh. That, well of course I'll do that." They ended up kissing for about a half an hour before they went back down to the Andy's office to wait for Lu and Peter to leave so Milo could remove the microphones.
Lu walked over to Andy sitting in the waiting room, waiting to talk to another patient about a serious medical problem.
"Hi."
"Oh, hey Delgado. What can I do for you now?"
"I was wondering when you're free next. Maybe we could go get some coffee and talk." Andy went wide-eyed that she was suggesting opening up to her.
"Umm.I can right after this last patient. It's almost my break time anyway."
"Ok. I'll see you in the court-yard cafeteria?"
"All right." Andy smiled as she walked away. After she was done with her patient she met with Lu and they talked about Peter most of the time and Lu told her everything that had happened. 'So Milo was right? I just had to wait for her to open up to me.' She thought to herself while Lu was blabbering away like a teenager about Peter, her new love.

Me: Hey guys. I thought that chapter was a low-key thing. I was sick of all the drama so I figured why not make Andy go crazy over Lu's confessions and stuff. I thought it was good. Why don't you review it and tell me if you think the same thing. Thanks guys.
