Carly's POV
Next day 11:45am
I can't believe I got the internship. I knocked on Dr. Isles's office door. She looked up and smiled. She got up from her desk and came over and opened the door. "Hello Carly. Your early."
"Yes ma'am, is that ok..."
"Of course. And easy on the ma'am. Just call me Maura." She chuckled.
"Ok...Maura." I said kinda nervous. "Here come sit down." she offered. I went and sat on her couch, and she came and sat next to me. "My administrator said you sounded very urgent to get me here today."
"Yes I wanted you to start as soon as possible, your personal essay...really hit me in a personal place."
"Is it ok if I ask why."
"Yes, I am pretty used to telling this by now." She ran her fingers through her hair, out of her face. "Do you know who Dr. Hope Martin is?"
"Of course, she started MEND, she's amazing."
"She's my mother."
"Wow really?"
"Yes, and my Father is Irish mobster Patty Doyle. Hope had me when she was 18, but Patty told her I died. He gave me to a woman he new very closely. That woman is my mother Constance Isles. About three years ago I found all of this out. Hope rejected me until she needed my kidney for her other daughter Cailin. About a 3 months ago she came to me asking for my forgiveness. Now she is like a real mother to me. Now don't get me wrong, I love Constance and Hope both the same. Cailin and I are friends and they come over for dinner every now and then. It turned out pretty good but...i still haven't told Constance about me and Jane. So it might not stay good." My jaw went slack. Maura smiled a bit. "You'll catch flies." she said closing my mouth for me. "Sorry...."
"It's ok. I get that reaction a lot." Maura smiled at me. "Are you ready to get to work?"
"Wait we are working today?"
"Yes. I actually have a body, that Jane has been bugging me about, to autopsy."
"That's great."
"I forgot to mention that this is actually not an unpaid internship. You will get paid $40 an hour."
"Really!?"
"Yes."
"Permission to hug?"
Maura smiled and nodded. We hugged then got up from the couch. She walked over to her privacy screen. Then came back out with a pair of scrubs. "Here you go. You can change behind there."
"Thanks." I went behind the screen and changed into the scrubs. When I walked back out Maura was already changed into her's. She motioned me to the other door next to her desk. She opened it to the morgue. There was a dead woman laying on the metal slab. "So who is this."
"This is Elisa Summers."
"Ah..."
We stood over her. "Ok first rule, and this one, no matter how much I like you I will snatch you up about it." I nodded "We do not guess, assume, or anything along that line. If you see what you think is blood, we do not call it blood until the lab proves it. Until then it is a reddish-brown stain. I will tell you one thing about my self that not many people know. I can't lie, or guess. I breakout into hives."
"Wow really. That has to suck."
"It does."
