" Jacob, Jacob Masters?" Dylan repeated loudly, hoping Connie would take the bait. A little voice in his head prayed frantically for Connie to take this shout.
His response wasn't Connie rushing to the phone to take the call, argument perhaps?, but the slam of her office door.
Dylan felt his heart clench, this was going to end badly.
"Cal? are you free for a callout?" He shot at the doctor storming past him in apparent frustration. Maybe not then. He wheeled around and found no other doctors to hand and he certainly wasn't going to asked Zoe. He inwardly sighed. Now or never he thought miserably.
He barged into Connies office as she shot up in surprise, quickly removing any signs of emotion from her face.
"I'm off to attend an entrapment" He stated and twitched slightly before continuing "Your boyfriends there if you want to have it out with him"
This was apparently the wrong thing to say as Connie's impassivity dissolved into ice, her eyes slowly narrowing. There was a palpable tension in the silence.
"You're more than capable of doing that yourself as you keep reminding me Dr Keogh, why not start today" she said silkily, each word annunciated dangerously.
' Right, well I'll be off then" He muttered, somewhat chastised as he swivelled and fled out of her office.
Better now than never.
