Chapter 13

2 and a half years later

"And we're off air," I hear the camera man say. My smile fades and I make my way to the dressing room. I am sick and tired of this, I don't want to be in front of camera I want to be in an OR. Once I got into my normal clothes I made my way to the president's office.

We got a new president last year and he is worse than the other, too bad they couldn't replace the chief. Oh and did I mention that we went to school together, not cool. "Chase I need to come back to the hospital," I say as I walked up to his desk. Chase laughed. "You know you can't doll face, your face is the image of the hospital you can't be seen working on actual patients." I scoff.

"Isn't that the point? I am a real doctor, a surgeon." He gets up and buttons his suit. "It's been 2 and a half years, come on I need..." He chuckles. "You know that can be arranged...you only have to do one thing for me," he says as he caresses my cheek.

"I will not go out on a date with you." He chuckles and gives me a smirk. "For the last time I will never sleep with you." He nods. "So you're going to reject me one more time Emma?" I nod. "Ok since you think you're a real doctor, I have an assignment for you." I smile and nod.

"There's a country called Maldonia, we've been told they need medical aid so I'm a send you in with a team to help out it's citizens." I gasp. "Did you really think of me for this assignment or is this a punishment?" He chuckles. "Didn't you say you wanted to go back to being a doctor now you can but in the middle of nowhere." I scoff and he laughs.

"You can't do this...." He stops laughing and coughs. "Yes I can, now go, here is a list of people that are going with you so let them know." I rush out the office and I'm mad as can be. I can't believe I'm being sent away because I didn't want to sleep with the boss. But guess what I will do an amazing job over there so I can wipe that smug look from his nasty face.

Killian's POV
"Boys we've been told that a group of doctors from Misthaven hospital are coming to work with us." All of my team nods. "They have brought med bays and will be arriving today and the group will be arriving in a couple of days, please organize our station and make sure the bays are good to go for when they arrive." They all nod and make their way outside.

That's when Robin walks up to me. "Is that the same hospital where Emma is from right?" As soon as I heard her name I felt like everything stopped; God I miss her. I haven't seen her in over two years and every time I hear her name my heart flutters. I nod. "Yes it is but I got the list and her name is not on it." He nods.

"And besides Robin I'm sure she already found someone else." Robin nods. "You never know dude she might just be waiting for you." I chuckle. "We weren't even anything and she ended whatever we had if anything she's probably engaged by now." He nods.

"Lighten up my brother, your love will come sooner or later." I nod. "Thats if I don't die first." He chuckles. "We've done many dangerous missions together Killian, and we haven't died so I say we're stuck here for quite some time." I chuckle. "And what about you?" He scoffs.

"Don't make this about me." I chuckle. "Come on Killian, lighten up, I don't like to see you down like this." I half smile. "Don't worry I'll be ok." He pats my back and walks away. I took a deep breath in then sighed.

I think I just have to accept fate, fate doesn't want me to be in love. I guess it's a way for me to be focused on being a good captain and a soldier. I picked this life and now I have to own up to it. From now on no more thinking about Emma or about finding love because my one and only priority is to serve and love my country.
