Neela came storming out of the locker room, tears running down her face. People questioned her, asking what was wrong, but she ignored them all, especially Ray, who tried to call her name a few times, then stopped. Running out of the ER doors, Neela let Jerry assume that she had unofficially taken the day off. The second the woman left the hospital, she let out loud, hysterical sobs. Neela ran as fast as possible to the train station and was only stopped when a pair of hands grabbed her from behind and turned her around.
Gates had come running after Neela and when he finally caught her, he held her in a gesture of comfort. Rasgotra sobbed heavily into Tony's chest and the two stood there in their white coats, arms wrapped around each other, in the middle of a busy Chicago sidewalk. Meanwhile Ray had gone back to the locker room after having unsuccessfully called out to Neela. He didn't want her to have to go home alone in such an emotional state, especially an emotional state that he caused.
'What the hell kinda idiot am I? Don't bring up her dead husband! It's not her fault that Gates is attracted to her! Hell, who can blame him? It's Neela for crying out loud.'
Ray groaned in frustration and sat down on the lounge sofa. Tears came to his eyes as he put his head in his hands and cried softly.
