Script doctor ( English Version )

Closeted relationship(s)

     Two hallways further, a feline silhouette slopes off from Madam Eldestein's office. Lisa checks. Her burning cheeks were a hint : she could have seen Dr Mike Marshall, or a close friend. The first option occurred an hour ago. The author who had been trying to sleep on a stretcher, may have heard more than a voice in her chamber. This scene gave her the idea for her own, in her sketchbook. 

Laura Vosgen walks down this same corridor, her notebook in hand strongly. When she had an idea in mind, no need to deliver it frankly, only her face showed it. Around the common desk of the grand hall, she met Jacob and Isaac, the two students from the emergency division :

" Bring me to this specific issue, gentlemen ! Have you heard of any closeted relationships in the humble Royal Hospital ? "

The two shuts and faces each other. Laura perceives shame and a huge potential of knowledge on this subject.

" Please, talk. It would really help me. "

Hesitation in Isaac. Jacob hopes for a diversion.

" Mostly in the odontology service. But two months ago.. Isaac starts in a whisper.

- We may have been informed of a romance between Dr Donovan and Dr Smith, Jacob explains in a stutter.

- Smith. Interesting. Quite interesting. Go on, Laura scratches her chin with her a hand, trying to hide her embarrassment.

- But, Dr Katic was seen with him before. 

- And not to mention Dr Damon, from plastic surgery, is about to date Dr Martin. 

- Again.. Dr Martin is friend with Dr Mandell, and this one hates Dr Damon.."

The twins agree in a sign of head. Explanations progressed, losing the author, who attempted to establish a kind of family tree of the closeted relationships. The structure itself was an organized mess.

" I see. "

She had not a single clue not an ounce of understanding for this. Isaac and Jacob kept delivering theories on these short stories. Lisa Eldestein crosses their debate easily as soon as she arrives, holding a pile of files.

 " Back to work nice speakers. 

- Wait. I have questions. I am not finished. "

Lisa stares at the script doctor. You might think she was glaring at her. That was not the case. She admired her. For this sudden dash of daring.

" Then, please do quick. I need those two to take cases for this night. They're on call.

- It will be done !

- In a minute Madam ! " 

Jacob and Isaac acted as a chorus when Vosgen took the main role of this comedy.

      Dr Cate Beckett was leaving the OR, followed by Dr Rebecca Smith when an image knocks in her head. At first, she decides to leave it for another occasion. While Dr Donovan comes from behind exchanging with interns, she could not hold such a perfect situation. The climax was at its best. She had heard this same noon a rumored romance between her friend and Henri Donovan. Cate catches Rebecca by her sleeve.

" Hey ! What are you.." 

Rebecca notices the presence of him without a single expression on her face.

" Hi. "

After this discreet greet, he simply continues on his way to the supply room.

" What's going on between you two ? "

The interrogation settled the tone. Rebecca turns at Cate.

" Nothing. Why ?

- Don't lie to me. I heard you hooked up with him.

- When ? Where did you heard that ?

- So, you're saying it happened.

- It didn't. I haven't seen him outside of work. And we never talk. He is from odontology, far from my unit ! 

- Someone lied.

- Him. He likes to pretend hooking up with a new girl once a new week. He makes them weak. But not me. " 

Rebecca remarks her friend's attitude as someone who has an idea in mind. Of course, she had seen it coming. Dr Beckett would aways attempt to ask those specific questions.

" You realize we haven't spoke about your feelings for someone, on your odyssey to love.

- I don't need someone.

- You're mistaken here. 

- Listen. I hate to bring this topic again. Especially after a bad start.. 

- What happened ?

- The man almost woke up during surgery.    

- I heard of it. Sleepy sloppy dude right ?

- You know him ?

- Not his first time. You're changing the subject ! Diversion ! " 

Rebecca grabs a cardboard sleeve, thanking the secretary in the grand hall. This action underlines her need of escape.

" Hmm ?

- You like someone, don't you ? "

At the desk, a recognizable hand arises. Rebecca leans her gaze on Laura's. Cate opens her mouth. Awestruck. She is facing a real obviousness. Dr Smith does not realize her gesture, the emotion winning over her. 

" You like Vosgen ! " 

Rebecca heard this singular voice, awakening and taking her to the first conversation.

" Admitting I do, what's the matter ?

- I knew it. " 

She smiles, proudly.

 " What are you going to do ?

- Lie. Pretend I don't care. Always worked.

- What if it don't ? 

- She likes me. 

- You're obsessing over her. And you think she is already yours..  Naive.

- What ? What do you know ?

- I know nothing and you too. Mind if I help ?

- Please don't. 

- I was taking about the case. "

 Dr Cate Beckett was leaning on the file Rebecca was flipping through. She had been faking her lecture for a minute, spying on Vosgen.

This one was still at the desk, conversing with the red hair secretary.

" Did someone call ? 

- I don't know. Who would call a psychopath ?

- You're a lovely human being, Erika.

- Don't call me like that.

- It's your name. Did someone call ? "

Tired. Erika was loosing and prefers to deliver the truth in a slow and lascivious voice, filled with fatigue.

" Mister Denvers.

- Victor ! He called ?! 

- I was just telling you.

- Great ! About what ?

- Perhaps.. book.

- Wonderful ! Pass me the phone please.

- I'm not a phone box.

- Erika, please.

- You're a freak. "

She gives her the phone while the author was already smiling for the pure taste of victory.
