A Doctor's Man

Chapter 10 - Downward Of Life

Hey guys! Here's the next chapter!

A month, after learning of John's death.

Chloe woke up, her eyes opened to see the picture which contained the love of her life. She frowned, a tear running down her cheek, moistening the bed below her. She reluctantly got up, and started to get dressed.

She still hasn't gotten over him, and she refuses to go to therapy for help. She wanted, and will remember him. He may be the savior of the Citadel to others, but he was John, her John, to her. Dr. Chakwas came to check on her every once in a while.

She secured the clasps on her doctor's uniform. She had a lot to do today.

Chloe stood outside of her office. She activated her Omni-tool, and tapped at it a few times.

She looked up from the device to see a red, holographic line crossing over the panel of the door. It read 'closed', then, 'out of business' over and over again.

There were reasons she had to close the office down. She barely had anyone coming in enough to keep up with the bills, and she wasn't doing any good there. Just the typical man looking for a fight who ends up in there with her. She's not worried about being there alone, she had a predator John give to her for protection. He gladly taught her about the firearm, the fundamentals, and how to use it properly and swiftly. She still had it to this day, strapped to her side.

Seeing the office again took her back to the recent memories. It made her want to smile and frown at the same time.

She was going to need another job, and it's time to start searching

Former Dr. Michel, who is hoping she wouldn't be former soon, was walking along the presidium. In the courtyard, in front of the elevator that led up to the Citadel Tower.

She was on her omni-tool, trying to get an idea who would be looking for a doctor.

"Hm," she muttered to herself, looking at a name on the list, "Huerta Memorial Hospital? Seems like a good place to start.

Chloe lowered her skycar into a parking slot. She killed the engine, stepped out, then closed the door. She looked to see the entrance to the Huerta Memorial Hospital. She was wearing the dress she wore during the vacation. Again, it brought back the still vivid memories of that night.

She made her way to and through the entrance. She walked up to a crescent desk in the middle, she was greeted by an Asari.

"Hello, Ma'am, welcome to Huerta Memorial Hosptial, how can I assist you?"

Chloe folded her arms as she leaned on the counter, "Yes, I was wondering if you were hiring."

"Oh, Yes, I believe we are. Please, take this application," The Asari said, handing Chloe a small drive.

Chloe nodded as she took the device, "Thank you,"

She walked over to a chair, and sat down. She inserted the drive into her Omni-tool.

After a few minutes, she filled it out. The doctor pulled the drive back out, then went back over to the receptionist desk.

"Here you go," Chloe said with a weak smile.

The Asari nodded, "Thank you, Ma'am, we'll contact you shortly."

Chloe nodded once more, "Ok, thank you," then she lifted herself off the desk again.

"Have a good day!" The Asari said before Dr. Michel turned and made her way back out of the hospital.

That's all folks!

Chloe and John will reunite in the next chapter!
