Later, at County...
"Hey, what you're doing?" – Sam asked when she saw Abby just standing there looking to the watch at the wall.
"63 minutes." Abby said. "63 minutes and I'm out of here."
"Wow, really wanna go, huh?" Sam laughed. "I'm the one who should be dying to get the hell out of here. I need an aspirin and I got another headache waiting for me at home."
"Ah, Alex's back." Abby smiled, sarcasticaly.
"Yeap. Got into a fight with his friend and came home. And exactally in the day that I have a hangover. Tipical."
"Tipical of his or you?" Abby said while Sam walked away.
"62 minutes." Abby murmured, picking up a chart. " And yet I have 12 patients, how fun is that?"
"Hilarious" Neela said, coming closer to Abby. "Don't you dare to complain, I still have four hours and I bet that as soon as I get home I have to wash the dishes since Ray decided that is not necessary to use plates and forks." She breathed deeply. "I love my life."
"That' right. Just like I dreamed of when I was nine." Abby laughed. "Seen Jess?"
"She's with a trauma. She wasn't good last night but she seems worse today."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't know." Neela was opening the curtain to a gurney. "She just mentioned a call, maybe from África, I'm not sure!"
Abby frozed, chocked. It was possible that something happened with Carter?
------------------------------------------------------
Carter was always a great friend for Abby. Despite everything that happened between them and the way things were left unsolved, she knew she could trust him and count on him for whatever was necessary. She just didn't have the courage to go to him anymore. Yet, she worried about him and didn't want anything bad to happen with him.
------------------------------------------------------
"Hey." Jake whispered in Abby's ear, making her jump.
"Jake?" Abby said with a surprised voice mixed with embarrassement. "What... What you're doing here? I thought you quited County?"
"Nice seeing you too." Jake said with a smile. "Decided to come back, leave the old intrigues behind." Jake looked at her with a significant stare.
"You know I never wanted to..." Abby started, looking to the floor and starting to blush.
"No, just don't." He interrupted her. "Besides, San Francisco wasn't for me and County is a great place to learn. It's never tedious, I can say."
"Oh, that's for sure." Abby said, smiling to him.
"Jake, Abby, trauma coming." Chuny came and they all ran to the ambulance bay.

I know that it's a bit slow, but the good part is just around the corner! Hehe!
Once again, forgive my english mistakes and PLEASE R/R! I'd love to know what you're thinking!
