Chapter 3: Gossip

Susan's P.O.V

I was leaning against the admit desk, eyeing the door to the lounge warily, when Carter came up behind me, and followed my gaze, then looked towards me, eyebrows raised.

"What's up?" he asked, curiously.

"They sure have been in there awhile."

"Who's been in there awhile?"

"Ray and Abby."

"And why are you so worried about Abby and Ray being in there together?"

"Well…it's just I thought I heard Ray yelling a little while ago."

"At Abby?" Carter burst, eyes flashing.

"No, no he started yelling just before she walked in." I reassured Carter quickly.

Just then the door swung open, and Ray walked out, rubbing his hand over his face. They immediately noticed how pale his face was, and the worry that showed in his eyes. Abby followed, and he turned to face her, and asked her something, she nodded and said something in reply. He turned and walked out the door, and she headed toward the admit desk and where her 2 friends and colleagues stood.

"Sooo…what was that all about?" Carter asked her.

"Ray got some bad news, and I was helping him sort some stuff out."

"Hmmm…" was all I said.
