Beck and Call

                Dr. Kim had been awarded a weekend off of the base.

Not a week.

Yet, on this beautiful Monday morning, Dr. Ahn was still waiting. Her ass growing ever so sore as she, once again, patiently sat at her desk. Ever so alone in her overcrowded infirmary. Surrounded by demanding and incompetent staff.

"Dr. Ahn."

Speaking of incompetent nurses.

"We are urgently-."

Dr. Ahn would not listen to whatever this new little recruit had to tell her.

"Tell them that our hands are already full."

She already had more than enough crap and she did not need more.

"But Doctor-." The nurse continued only to be ignored.

"If they have any complaints, please remind them that I had asked for more staff a month ago."

Truth be told, she was being more than just a tad kind. After all, she had asked for more staff a whopping four years ago.

Their answer?

A hefty raise and an intern.

Though the intern had long since become a praise-worthy doctor.

She was still bitter.

So, sue her.

"I can't possibly-." The nurse slightly gasped as she shook her head.

"We are more than saturated!" Dr. Ahn hollered as she leaned forward on her elbows. "Do they expect me to hatch whatever staff they need for these new ailing soldiers?"

"Dr. Ahn."

"No!"

No words could have explained her scoff as she placed her chin onto her outstretched palms.

Let alone her pout as she blew a long strand of hair out of her eye.

In that moment, she resembled nothing more than a little girl.

Especially as her rant continued.

"Tell them to drag Dr. Kim out of his bed by the skin of their teeth, for all I care!"

"Dr. Kim!"

All that was missing were a few ugly sobs here and there.

"Listen to me turning my back onto my sacred oath as a doctor. Look at me, refusing to treat patients because of the sleep deprived fool that he has turned me into." She whined as her head slightly sagged forward. "Dr. Kim is to blame for this mess. If he needed a long vacation, all he needed to do was ask. Not disappear from the face of this earth and leave me strand-"

"The Dread Unit is back."

Dr. Ahn paused.

She sincerely did.

Still.

"And?"

The hell did she care that the Dread Unit was back?

She had long since stopped fretting over such words.

They merely translated into her needing to cremate yet another body.

Hence bringing her back to the problem at hand.

She did not have the staff to do such a thing!
