Kate sat across from Buck, this time she wasn't at home. She was in an office being questioned about how different Bobby Nash treats his employees. Except his lawyer didn't have, half the information on her as he did the rest if crew.
Things were made awkward enough for Kate, everyone asking her questions expecting her to have the answers, answers she didn't even have.
"So, you were in the same explosion as Evan, am I correct?" His lawyer asked
"Yes, but I didn't sustain injuries as badly as Evan had. I Sprained my lower and had a concussion, nothing that wouldn't heal by itself" she explained
"And your captain, he let you back to work after a month right?"
"Yes, but as I said my injuries weren't nearly as severe as Evans. You realize that's completely different than being trapped under a fire truck" Kate restated
Kate resisted the urge to roll her eyes, trying to keep as professional as possible. But her patients was growing thin and he barley even started.
"What about your colleague Howard, he was back within a month of having rebar pulled from his head"
Kate shrugged "I wasn't here for that, I started a little over a year ago."
"Could you disclose, for the record what your relationship is with my client?"
"Well, as of right now we are on Rocky terms. Not that has anything to do with this"
"Would your relationship make you more inclined to agree with your boss about Evan returning to work, after all you'd be worried correct?"
Kate scoffed, cracking her knuckles "I think I can keep a bias perspective. I think I'm getting asked a lot of useless questions so why don't we skip the awkward part and get straight into"
"What do you mean?" He asked
Kate everted her eyes to bucks, she was mad. She was so mad but not just at him, at the whole situation.
"I am the last person in here and by the way each of my friends have left this room I'm gonna assume you asked Eddie about his wife and Bobby about his alcoholism. Now, why don't we talk about why I moved here. Did Evan happen to mention that?" Kate asked, raising a brow
"Briefly, he said you had a bad breakup."
Kate gave a cold laugh "is that it, oh well he forgot the half of it. You see just after Christmas the same day Howard was stabbed, in that same week I didn't go to work I didn't leave my bed, I slept all day and night and wished I wouldn't wake up. You know what captain Nash did, he advised I take a few weeks. Collect myself, make sure I'm really ready to come back. You see he doesn't advice that he doesn't think is right" she explained
