Audrey and Carter were sitting in a booth at the Doc Magoos, they have already ordered and are eating while they share their similar experiences as medical residents. Carter explains how Doc Magoos is the usual spot for County's staff, how much happened in this restaurant.
"So what are you doing in Chicago Audrey?"
"It's a funny story actually, I was in for a job interview, at a hospital called 'County General'"
"What!"
"I have been wanting to work in area for quite a while, and last week I noticed you guys were looking for another attending, so I called a Doctor .. Waver?"
"Yeh Kerry Weaver"
"That's it, she told me to come in for an interview, its suppose to be tomorrow but I decided to come in early to come see my family over here and I ran into an unruly driver, I think you know the rest of the story"
"Whoa that unbelievable! I guess you had the ultimate job interview! Did you see Kerry today?"
"Humm"
"Short, bossy, walks with a crutch"
"Yes, I crossed her in the hallway, she didn't seem too sure who I was but I don't think she had time to care, I have to meet her tomorrow at 8am."
"Well good luck with your interview, but you deserve it, you did great today!"
"Thanks" She blushes slightly
The dinner continues, Carter tells the story of when he got stabbed, how Lucy died and how he go addicted to pain killers. She then shares with him how there was a shootout in her hospital about a gangster who was treated and how she was taken hostage, and how she was shot near the spinal chord. A nurse was also shot to death after being taken hostage, she never got addicted to pain killers, but had to take a year off to learn how to walk again. The experience seemed so similar; they both shared their fears and the shared fright of losing someone they shared a friendship with. The two seemed like two friends, they seemed to have been friends for ever, not love though, but that amazing friendship that is valued. They had been talking for a few hours when Carter asked about he had noticed how Audrey was looking at Ray.
"You liked Dr Barnett Didn't you?" Audrey looks back at him puzzled.
"The guy who left in a hurry with his guitar"
"Oh yes, he seemed to … young, Ive never seen a doctor with a guitar, im used to the gray hair serious face goes home to his wife" Carter giggles slighty.
"Thats interesting! Dr Barnett is something special, he is in his first year"
Audrey nods and she just can not help herself but to ask Carter about Abby. She wants to know what happened between the two, and whether he still has something left for her although it is obvious he does. Carter answer her,
"Yeh, it ended because life was too complicated, but I do still have feelings for Abby she is a great person but Im sure she has moved on."
Audrey does not want to ask further questions about the situation, Carter seems uncomfortable talking about it and she doesn't want to bother him. She looks at her watch to realize that it way pass 4am,
"Alright – Im going to call it a night, I have an interview tomorrow for a job and according to my sources the boss is quite strict on punctuality" She winks at Carter.
"Good idea, Im gonna drive you to you hotel."
Carter drives Audrey to the hotel, she waves goodbye to him and assures him she will pass by the ER after her interview to update him on what happened.
