Fellowship Years

Long for You

February 18th

"It was good to have you, Conway." Goodwin smiled, shaking Louis hand, "You turned out pretty good."

Louis laughed, "Thanks Dr Goodwin, for everything."

Alex hugged Hazel warmly, and tried to hug Con, but she side-stepped away, "Goodbye to you too, Con." She laughed.

Max and Lauren enveloped both Louis and Alex in big hugs, and fake crying.

Hazel glanced around the bright Lobby, as the rising sun shone through.

"Oh you're leaving already?" Drew asked, as he walked through the lobby with Ian and Darren, "I didn't know!"

"Yeah, we had to leave a little earlier, to rent the apartment-" Alex explained, "I forgot to tell you."

"I must say Robinson, I'm not at all happy losing my best student." Drew scolded, with a smile, "You're sure about this?"

Alex nodded, "It's gonna be good, I can feel it."

"Well, then who am i to stand in your way?" Drew laughed, "I have rounds and goodbyes make me cry so i'll make this short."

Drew took Alex by the shoulders, "Alex Robinson, go out there and be amazing. I'll be at your acceptance speech when you win all the awards."

"Right back at you." Alex grinned, hugging Drew, she then turned to Louis, "I'll leave you to say goodbye, I'll be in the taxi, don't take too long?" She smiled.

Louis turned back to Con, Hazel and Joel. The rest had left.

"Nice knowing you, Conway." Con smirked, "Have a good one."

"Yeah you too. I'll see you guys, you'll be invited to our wedding, obviously." Louis grinned, "And I'll be sitting in the front row when you're all winning Ople Cartwrights."

Hazel laughed and hugged Louis, "See you, Lou."

Joel hugged Louis briefly, "I always like you Conway. Don't tell those two, but you're my favourite."

Louis laughed, "I'll miss you."

Hazel nodded, "Yeah, we'll miss you too. Now, go! You can't miss your flight."

"Okay, okay, i'll see you around?"

"See you around." Con grinned and they watched Louis walk out the doors of Eden Arizona, and leave.

"Well, well, well."

They turned to see Goodwin, standing a few paces behind them, "And then there were three."

Joel, Con and Hazel grinned.

"Get your asses in gear, i didn't raise you to stand around now did i? Owens there's an incoming trauma, Hazel you have clinic to attend to now don't you? Miller, I believe Pierce was looking for you?"

The three Fellows split into opposite directions.

Kate sat in the pit, her eyes on a chart but her mind on a pill.

She sat up straight, pushing her hair out of her eyes, her fingers wandering to her pocket.

"Hey." 

She started, by Sarah appearing at her side, "11 32 needs an IV, 13 54 Echocardiography and an MRI, i want a full blood count for Mrs Patterson in room 10 32. When you're done there are three cases in the pit for you or a couple in the Clinic." Sarah dropped a stack of charts in Kate's lap.

"Okay." Kate stood up, exhaling, "I'm on it."

Kate passed Joel, he winked at her and caught up with Sarah.
