Gabe was standing on the helipad, expecting the newest addition to the Resurgam family.
The helicopter carrying him was not late.
The black metal bird slowly lowered, then completely landed. Its door opened.
A young man, no more than 25 years old, with black hair and sunglasses left it. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and trousers.
'Hi, you must be Dr. Bertrand' the diagnostician smiled.
'Please, call me Adam' the man smiled back and removed his glasses.
'I'm Gabe. Gabe Cunningham' he looked at the chopper. 'Nice bird'
'Thanks. It's my personal one'
"Personal helicopter?" Gabe almost dropped his cigarette. "How much of a 'big shot' is this guy, exactly?"
A few seconds later, Cunningham's pager beeped. He looked at it.
'Hmm, it looks like there's a patient waiting for me. Let's go, I'll introduce you to Tomoe. She'll show you around the hospital'
'Oh, cool. Thanks' Adam waved to his helicopter pilot, who promptly took off.
They entered the hospital and wandered around for a while before they could find the endoscopy office.
Gabe knocked a few times on it politely, then entered.
Tomoe Tachibana stood up and went to him.
'Dr. Cunningham! What a pleasant surprise! Is this our new addition?'
'Yeah. Dr. Bertrand, this is Dr. Tachibana'
'It's a pleasure to meet you, miss' Adam smiled politely. Tomoe blushed a little bit.
'So, Tomoe… I have a patient waiting for me in the exam room. Do you mind showing Dr. Bertrand around?'
'It is against the path of honor to ignore members of the family, no matter how new to it they are. Come, Dr. Bertrand' she smiled.
Adam smiled back.
'Thank you, Dr. Tachibana'
Gabe winked to Tomoe and left the office, then headed as fast as possible to the exam room.
The patient was most likely getting fed up with waiting.
