Quincy saw Gonzo's look of jealousy and smiled. The medical examiner knew Quincie's intentions were more of a friendly get together than romantic interlude, but Quincy didn't feel a need to explain that to Gonzo. Nurse Becker also caught the look on Dr. Gates' face, but didn't say anything. Quincie figured it was none of Gonzo's business, besides- he deserved to stew a bit.

By the time Quincy got back to the hotel, the Conference was winding down. Social hour was in full effect. Dr. Astin, Lt. Monihan, and Sam were discussing the afternoon sessions of the conference. Sam saw the medical examiner and waved him over to the table.

"Quincy!" The technician called out, "you missed some interesting sessions!"

Monahan, who is not easily impressed, agreed, "There is a lot to be said about this science stuff."

Dr. Astin quipped, "Did you enjoy your afternoon?"

Quincy sheepishly replied, "Oh, I had a great time. In fact, I just stopped by for a bit. I'm going to need the car, I'm meeting a friend for dinner..."

Astin exclaimed, "Quincy, we're here to work and learn. It's not a vacation!"

Quincy explained, "I know, sir. It's just I haven't seen her in almost 30 years. I was surprised that she was a nurse at the hospital..."

Monahan jibed, "Quincy you old salt, is she a nurse you served with in Korea?"

Quincy cryptically answered, "Well, she wasn't a nurse then, and we didn't serve together, but you could say we met in Korea..."

Sam quickly deduced, "Are we talking about Quinn C?!" Sam knew some of the story of how Quincy delivered a baby at an Army hospital during the Korean War.

Dr. Astin barked, "Of course we are talking about Quincy, he does this all the time."

Sam corrected, "Not Quincy, the doctor, Quinn C, the girl from Korea."

Dr. Quincy then told the group the story of how he delivered a baby while he was on temporary duty with a mobile army surgical hospital. He then explained that because of his efforts to find the father, the baby girl was named after them. Quincy then regaled the group with the tale of how he had run into his namesake, now a nurse in San Francisco, who wanted to have dinner with him.

Doctor Astin looked dumbfounded and said, "Quincy, if half of that is true, you can have the car all evening." Quincy's boss had a couple of drinks in him, and was more amicable than usual.

Quincy got to Quincie's apartment a little bit before 7. He was greeted at the door by an angry looking young woman who looked to be in her late 20's-early 30's. The young woman looked Quincy over. Quincy quickly double checked the address Quincie wrote down. He was in the right place. At least he hoped he was.

The young woman interrogated, "Yeah, what do you want?"

Quincy meekly replied, "I'm here for Quincie..."

The young woman who answered the door then said, "Oh yeah, she said somebody was coming. Quincie's getting ready. Aren't you a little old for her?" She them yelled, "Quincie your date is here!"

Quincy heard Quincie yell back from the other room, "He's not my date, Erin!"

Quincy added softly, "I'm not her date."

Erin then said, "Whatever, I'm too tired to even think about this. Just have a seat on the sofa and wait. And don't steal anything, not that there is anything to steal. I'm going back to bed."

Quincie came out after just a few minutes. Quincy suddenly felt under dressed. The young nurse looked quite different in an evening gown, with her hair down and made up than she did in hospital scrubs.

"Wow you look great, " The Medical Examiner observed.

The two walked out to the car. Quincie paused when seeing the hearse.

The Nurse asked, "Taking the company car?"

Quincy laughed and said, "That what was available. If it's a problem, we can take a cab."

Quincie smiled and said, "No, no, this will make for quite a different experience."

Driving to the restaurant Quincy commented, "That's some room mate you have."

"Erin?" Quincie replied, "She's not so bad. She just was tired. She's an intern at the hospital and just barely got in for a few hours of sleep."

Quincy reminisced, "Oh I remember my internship at Balboa Hospital, I felt like I lived there."

The Nurse added, "Erin practically lives at the hospital too. That's one thing that makes her a great room mate. She pays half the rent as never around."

Quincy laughed as they arrived at the restaurant. Quincy's eye's moistened when he saw the name 'Charlie's Korean BBQ.' He was simply following Quincee's directions to get there. When he would ask where they were going, she just told him it was a surprise.

Quincee explained, "Grandfather bought this restaurant for my mother and got the paperwork through for me, mother, and my brother to settle here in the United States."

Quincy knew that Charlie was Charlie Becker, a U.S. Marine killed in action in Korea as well as Quinn C. Becker's father. Quincy also knew that 'grandfather' was retired U.S. Navy Admiral Fred Becker, Charlie's father.

Quincee continued, "I was a waitress long before I was a nurse. Come have some of the best Korean BBQ in San Francisco, on the house!"

When Quincy came in to the restaurant, he could see that it was crowded. In fact there was a line to get in. But the doctor and the young nurse were quickly whisked to a VIP table in a private room. A familiar face came to the table. Quincy recognized Jeong- Mee immediately.

Quincy quietly said to Quincie, "Tell your mother she hasn't aged a day."

Much to Quincy's surprised, Jeong-Mee replied, "Thank you, doctor."

Quincy exclaimed, "Jeong-Mee, you speak English!"

The Korean-American explained, "I have been living here in San Francisco for almost 30 years now...plus it makes it easier to boss my husband around."

A handsome man in his 50's entered from the kitchen and extended his hand, "Hi, I'm Jack. Jeong-Mee is right, she is the boss."

Quincy shook the man's hand and smiled. Another familiar face came in the room, and Quincy automatically came to attention.

Quincy crisply greeted, "Admiral Becker, sir!"

Becker smiled and said, "At ease doctor, it's just Fred now."

Jeong-mee smiled and said, "Doctor Quincy, we all just wanted to thank you for what you did for our family so long ago."

Quincie's brother led the waiters and waitresses out with a virtual feast of Korean food. It was the best that Quincy had in or outside of Korea. It was a great evening of catching up and promises to keep in contact. Fred even offered Quincy a seaplane ride. The evening came to an end all to soon. Quincy had his conference in the morning and Quincie had to be at the hospital fairly early. Quincy brought the young nurse back to he apartment.

Quincie asked the doctor, "Did you want to come in for some coffee?'

Quincy replied, "I really don't want to upset your room mate again."

The nurse explained, "She's got the graveyard shift tonight, so she's probably getting ready for work. In any case, she'll be up."

Quincy came in, and sure enough, Erin was at the table eating a late night breakfast. She didn't look as mean as before.

Erin said, "Oh hey guys. Coffee is on have a seat. Sorry I was such a bitch earlier. Lack of sleep was catching up to me."

Quincy explained, "Never mind, I remember my internship, I've been there myself."

Erin then looked at Quincy and said, "I am so embarrassed, when I got my mental faculties, I realized that you are that Dr. Quincy. Quincie told me about you."

After having a cup of coffee and chatting, Quincy told Quincie, "We both have to get up early. You for work, me for the conference. If I don't show up bright and early Astin will have my head on a platter."

Quincee, clearly disappointed pleaded, "Really, you could stay a bit longer if you want..."

Quincy smiled and said, "No, I'd better go." Quincy realized that if the evening was more than a friendly dinner Trapper, Admiral Becker, Quincie's brother, and possibly that Gonzo character would actually put his head on a platter.

Erin said, "Dr. Quincy, it was nice to meet you, but I have a bus to catch."

Quincy seeing an escape offered, "I can give you a ride to the hospital."

Erin asked, "Are you sure? I'd hate to put you out."

Quincy replied, "It's no trouble, the hospital is on the way to the hotel. Besides, I feel bad interrupting your sleep. I know interns get so little of it."

Erin looked at Quincie, who nodded, then said, "Sure, thank you very much."

When Erin saw what they were going to be going to the hospital she giggled, "A hearse, well this will be interesting."

While driving, Quincy asked Erin, "Are you from San Francisco?"

Erin answered, "Close, a town called Mill Valley north of the bridge. My dad's a GP there with a small family practice."

Quincy asked, "You plan on joining the family business."

Erin laughed, "Dad would like that. He's been hinting at that. But I'd like to do more in the area of trauma medicine. The ER is so exciting."

Quincy observed, "Well you did follow into his footsteps and became a doctor."

Erin countered with, "True. But there were some differences. He went to Stanford all the way. I went to Berkeley undergrad and UCSF Medical. He was an army doctor when I was little. I did a two-year stint in the Peace Corps between college and medical school...Quincy look out!"

Quincy did not see the car that ran the red light and hit the hearse.
