Griffin had left the Montgomery/Tasker house with David following close behind. His former mentor was asked about Bianca. When Griffin had mentioned to Erica that he was coming back to collect Bianca for her X-ray David had almost visibly pricked up his ears.

"Are you admitting her?" David asked.

"Probably not. I just want to make sure that this isn't anything more serious than a nasty knock."

David nodded.

"But even if it isn't; surly she'd be better cared for in hospital?"

"I think she'd do better at home actually. That poor woman's had more than enough of hospitals for the moment and I can't blame her. She needs her family around her."

David relented with his questioning, pausing at his car door.

"What time are collecting her?"

"Probably about 1:30. I haven't book the appointment yet though. Why?"

"I'd like to be there. She was my patient first."

"We'll see." said Griffin, unlocking his own car and climbing inside.

…

The morning shift at PVH had been surprisingly quiet that morning. Griffin Castillio had only two gall stone operations on the books, both of which went off without a hitch. One thirty came around quicker than he had expected and before he knew it, it was time to grab is coat and go.

He bumped into his sister in the locker room about to start her shift in the ER.

"Where are you going?" she asked. "I thought your shift didn't end until four?"

"Technically I'm on a break. I'm off to collect Bianca for an X-ray."

Cara looked worried about her friend, but Griffin gave her a grin.

"Trust me it's just a precaution. But there is a favour I'd like to ask you."

"What's that?"

"Any chance you could distract David for me. He wants to observe and… I don't want him to complicate things."

"You don't think he asked because he's worried about his patient."

"No, I think David's only ever been worried about himself. He's up to something." said Griffin. Ever since David had mentioned the theft of his Orpheus treatment Griffin had been waiting for him to make a move.

"If I see him I'll do my best; it all depends on what kind of day it is today."

"Well so far I won't say 'quiet', just in case." said Griffin.

Cara grinned. There was a superstition in hospital that if someone said it was quiet than it was almost guaranteed that in fifteen seconds something horrendous would happen.

"Then let's hope it stays that way." she said with a grin.

…

When Griffin wheeled a resigned Bianca into the Hospital lobby ten minutes later he noticed David standing by reception waiting for them. So much for Cara's intervention.

He'd only taken two steps when the doors behind him burst open and a frantic looking Scott hurried in behind them, his eye wide. Baby Holly was in his arms, crying loudly. Scott latched onto Griffin instantly holding his daughter out to him.

"Something's wrong, she won't stop crying and she's hot. I've tried everything and I don't know what to do!"

Griffin suddenly found himself with an armful of bawling infant, her frantic father looking at him expectantly and Bianca looking up in concern.

David chose that moment to stride across the foyer and join them. Griffin watched as his old mentor put one hand in the back of Bianca's wheelchair.

"You should take care of her, it could be serious." said David. "Don't worry about Bianca, I can take her to X-ray, I don't mind."

David's smile was annoyingly benign, although he clearly had some plan brewing. But what could Griffin do with a sick baby in his arms that need his help?

"Okay." he said reluctantly. "Let's get this little one to exam."

He guided a terrified Scott in the direction of ER, while watching with one eye as David wheeled Bianca away.
