I finally get back to the base and go to the office where my boss's are talking. Shawn, my Shift boss and Leon the big boss.

"Clocking out for the day Cybil?" Shawn asks

"Yeah I'm ready. It was a busy night." I reply placing my index finger on the scanner before grabbing my bag to leave

"Actually before you go there was something I needed to talk to you about." Leon states swinging his leg over the corner of the desk

I stopped in my tracks and put the bag down as he gestured towards an empty seat. I sat down and fidgeted as he cleared his throat and continued.

"I want to transfer you. You knew this day has been coming for awhile and I think now is a good time. NY has been looking for a new tra-"

"New York?" I interrupted "Do you really think that a medic from A city of  63 thousand can survive in a city of 8 million?" The words slipped from my mouth

Leon swings his leg off the desk "Typically I would say no. However I know your capable. You are one of the best medics this district has to offer. You're also very young so able to adapt better. You leave Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? That's pretty short notice don't you think?" I ask

"Absolutely. Like I said you're young what 24 now? Easily adaptive." He put his hand on my shoulder. "Have a good trip. Thanks for giving us all you got." 

I went home that night. To my actual home where I was born and raised to visit my mom and tell her about this transfer. Praying she wouldn't be crushed.

I knocked on her door and I heard a pan drop before she came to the front door.

"Hi Cybil!! How are you? I was just making breakfast. sit down, you want coffee?" 

"Hey mom I'm good." I give her a hug "Sure I'll take a cup." 

"Whats new and exciting? No grandchildren from you or your brothers! I'm not getting any younger." She said pouring a cup of coffee

"I know there's no grandchildren. Don't blame me for that one I can't find a guy that isn't scared of dating a Medic. However, Jacob &  Anthony are both married and can be having those" I chuckled grabbing some creamer from the fridge. 

"Fine Guess you can get off the hook for that one! But Whats exciting?" She asked handing me my coffee

I took a sip "Does something Have to be exciting for me to come visit?" 

She sat across from me "No but your on night shift that's how I know somethings exciting otherwise you'd be at home." She mocks a snoring sound

"yeah yeah okay. There is actually something I needed to tell you." I set the coffee down and lean back crossing my legs and remain to lean on them.

"Oh? What is it?" She looks eager sipping coffee.

"I'm being transferred. Tomorrow. To New York." I rub my eyes after saying it. I look up at my mom who looks like shes in pure shock

"Oh Cybil! That's great! I'm going to miss you so much! You better call me everyday!" she stands up and hugs me

"I know mama I will. I should probably get going though Have to go tell the brothers." I say smiling

"Of Course! then go home and" She proceeds to pretend snoring again.

I nudge her "Thanks for the coffee mom I love you."

Both brothers had similar reactions of "wow that's cool don't die" And that was as much I got out of them.

I get home and immediately start to pack and hug my dog.

"Well Zelda we're going on a trip." I say ruffing around her ears. She wagged her tail and put her head on my arm.

"We leave first thing in the morning buddy." I say laughing as she shakes and her fur sticks straight up.

I fall asleep somewhere in the middle of packing and before I know it Tomorrow is here.

Am I ready to start this new adventure?
