Chapter 2

Morning

Chicago, Becca's Apartment

Becca walked into the bathroom and began to brush her teeth. She shared this small apartment with her roommate that she had met in college. They quickly became good friends and found the small apartment they could share. Today, they would both begin their ER internship at County General Hospital. They both wanted to become ER doctors and they were in their first year of medical school. Becca had done the first year of her internship at another local hospital in the area, but than quickly transfer because the high caliber of doctors that worked at County. She knew if she worked at County she could probably get a job anywhere else in the state.

"Are you ready?" Becca called to her roommate, Claire, who was currently sitting in the kitchen eating some cereal.

"As soon as you are," she replied, "Aren't you a little nervous about this job, Becca?"

"Just a little," Becca replied walking out of the bathroom.

"What's your mom think about it?" Claire asked.

"I think my mom has her concerns for me, but she has a lot more on her plate than to worry about me," Becca said.

"That's a good point," Claire said.

"Well, let's go," Becca said. The two grabbed their coats and walked out of the small apartment that they shared. The snow quickly began to fall on them as they walked out onto to the side walk. They walk to the train station and get on. They were at the hospital within twenty minutes and walked into the ER. They walked up to the front desk to see Jerry handing Abby a sheet of doctor's orders as she walked off.

"Do you know where we can find a doctor?" Claire asked, "We're the new med students."

Two other male students walked in and stood behind Claire and Becca. They all seemed a little nervous to start this job.

"I'll get a doctor for you," Jerry said as he walked out and into the doctor's lounge.

He walked into to see that Kovac was sitting at the table reading the paper and Neela was sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee.

"Guys, the new med students are here," he said.

"Thanks," Luka said to him as he walked out of the office and back to the admit area.

Becca and Claire stood there and waited until Kovac came to see them. You could see that they were both nervous and a little shocked that no one had notice who Becca was. Becca was quite glad that no one seems to care that she was the president's daughter. She had spent the later part of her teen years trying to get people to stop obsessing that she was the president's daughter, while her twin seemed to enjoy the fact that he was the son of the president.

"Hey, guys, I'm doctor Kovac," Luka began, "Well, since many of you have seen what orientation is and how the hospital works. I'll show you around the ER,"

The students followed Luka around and walked in several of the rooms. They were in quite a lot of shock by how crowded the ER could be.

"Is it always this crowded?" one of the male students asked.

"Sometimes worse," Abby said as she walked up next to Luka.

"This is Dr. Lockhart," Luka introduced Abby, "Becca you will be assigned with Dr. Lockhart and Claire you will be assigned with Dr. Rosgatra, as soon as she returns from break. Luckily for the guys you will be working with me."

"Sounds like fun," one of the male students said.

"Oh… it will be," Luka assured him.
