"Proud of yourself?...Good. So am I."

It was almost the end of their shifts, and the diagnostics team were exhausted from a full day of tests and disgnosis.

They were packing up to leave the room when a knock resounded on their door, before Travis poked his head in.

"Oh Christ, what now?" Ethan groaned making the team chuckle. "I wanted to let you know that I'll be driving Ed over to the A.N.B studios for a T.V interview." Travis said. "What about the words 'keeping him here for monitoring' does he not understand?" Ethan's baritone boomed.

"He thought you'd say that. He'd like two of you to join him on air so that you can stay close. As a thank you, he'll talk up your team." Travis replied. "A.N.B is a national news channel, Ethan." Baz told the director. "This is a huge opportunity for us." June chimed in. 

Ethan sighed heavily, pinching his eyes closed, before opening them up again.

"Fine. But only if he promises to follow his treatment plan to the letter, the second this interview is over." Ethan said, giving in. After all, he was tolerating all of this, for the sake of Edenbrook. "So...who are we sending for the interview?" Baz asked enthusiastically.

"Ed asked for Dr. Hunter, specifically. He was very impressed with her." Travis responded. Blue stared back at the assistant impassively, the dodgy phone call the senator had earlier, replayed in her mind. "Then, I will only do it if Dr. Ramsey joins me as well." Blue replied.

"Me? I in no way agreed to that." Ethan spoke in surprise. "You're the head of the diagnostics team. You have to represent us." Blue pressed. "Exactly! You'll be wonderful on T.V., Ethan. You have such a commanding presence." Baz encouraged. "And gorgeous too. You both are." June added, shooting a small smile towards Blue who had no idea if she was being geniunely nice or there was some other play in here.

"You'll do just fine if you ignore your instincts and pretend that the camera is one of the four people you actually respect." June chuckled. "Do it for Edenbrook, Ethan." Blue looking up with wide green eyes, and once again how could the man ever say 'No' to that face.

"...Fine." he answered coyly. "Great! I have room in my car for the both of you. We'll leave in ten. You can change out of your work clothes, and to something more formal if you want to as well." Travis notified them before heading out of the office.

"You guys need to wear something glam!" Baz mused excitedly. "I suppose I do have a shirt in my office closet that would be more fitting for the interview." Ethan sighed. "I should have something in my locker room as well." Blue said. "Alright, I'll meet you at the atrium before meeting up with them." Ethan told her and she nodded, before making her way out of the office.

"Good work today, have a good rest." Ethan told the other two members, but found them taking a seat back at the conference table before switching on the office T.V. "Are you kidding? Two superstar doctors are going to be on T.V soon, we are staying to watch." Baz grinned making Ethan chuckle as he went into his office bathroom to change.

In less than ten minutes, Ethan was at the atrium waiting for Blue. He did not want to spend any more time than neccessary with the senator alone. He was wearing a midnight blue silk shirt with a matte black tie. He wore his medical coat on top of it, and had his chocolate brown hair re-geled.

He turned around when he heard heels clicking towards him, and he almost stumbled as he turned. Blue was walking towards him, her medical coat draped over her arm, as she wore a royal blue dress that hugged her waistline classily. Her orange locks which were wrapped in a neat bun the whole of that day were hung loose in gentle fiery waves, almost down to her waist.
