***One Month Later***
Connor was driving home from work, reflecting on his day working at the Mayo Clinic. The equipment was extraordinary top of the line gear, he had no competition for cases or surgeries, no attendings to boss him around, nicer facilities and the food at the cafeteria was far superior. So why was he so unsatisfied at his prestigious new job? What could possibly be missing? There was nothing keeping him in Chicago anyway.

C: Yeah it's going alright thank you.
L: I'm glad to hear it. I suppose you are ringing in response to the message I left you?
C: Yes. I am. I thought I should let you know straight away.
L: I appreciate you calling back so quickly. So are the rumors true? Will you be returning to Gaffney Chicago Med?
