Still don't own E.R or anyone from it

LEAN ON ME

Chapter IX – Bloody diversions

Robert found himself walking quite briskly despite his body's protestations. He started whistling a tune, which took him a little by surprise and made him smile.

'Well that was certainly weird.' He thought to himself as the smile developed into a full on goofy grin.

A women walking towards him smiled back and he gave her a wink. Today was going to be a good day, he decided. No matter that his head was thumping or that his back was aching from a night spent on the couch. He picked up his pace and chuckled to himself as he realised what the tune he was whistling was - 'Staying Alive' by the Bee Gees. He laughed at the mental image of John Travolta strutting down the street, then chuckled as he realised that was precisely what he was doing!

Either he was going mad, or something, he did not know what, but something had definitely just happened between them. He had not imagined THAT, she definitely had been a willing participant to his embrace and it had felt electric. She had pulled him back, stopped him from leaving. That was not a mere friendly hug, so what did IT mean – did it mean anything? Was the tide turning in his favour at long last?

'Pull yourself together Rob' he said to himself. 'Lets just get to work, see how the land lies with her and oh yeah try not to kill anybody today – yep standby my little plebes the ROCKET IS BACK!'

As he turned the corner and stepped towards the ambulance bay, he noted multiple victims being brought out of the rigs that had pitched up moments earlier - It was typical E.R chaos; there was Green in the thick of it orchestrating the whole melee. With everyone busy screaming at each other he slipped by unseen through the doors, through the E.R, into the elevator and punched four.

'Exxcceellent' he said in his best Gordon Burns voice. He was the invisible man!
