The hub on the sixth floor of General Hospital was busy when Jordan Ashford approached it she waited a brief moment watching Elizabeth Webber making a note on a patient's file and add it to a stack and handing it off to another nurse for filing Elizabeth lifted her eyes and caught Jordan's giving her a brief smile

Elizabeth- Commissioner Ashford How can I help you today

Jordan- I'm looking for Nathan West Have you seen him today

A shadow of sadness crossed Elizabeth face

Elizabeth- I Haven't seen him but if he's here he's on the fourth floor

Elizabeth didn't elaborate where on the fourth floor Nathan would be found Anyone who knew him knew exactly where he would be

Jordan- Thank you I'll look there

Jordan replied turning back to the elevator she hated what she was here to do but she had no other choice Nathan case load was suffering and she was getting pressure from the mayor to do something about it no argument Jordan offered could away her she wanted results and Nathan wasnt delivering Thru had come to a compromise that neither of them liked And here she was to deliver the bad news she hated this

The elevator doors snicked open on the fourth floor it was Quieter here and the atmosphere full of tension she paused the hub and turned down the hall to the Neonatal unit Nathan West was hovering outside one of the windows like a ghost Jordon stopped and stared at him His shoulders sagged and his head drooped in exhaustion Something caught his eye and he stepped closer to the glass leaving his forehead against it with his eyes closed she hadnt seen him in a week and he had been in bad shape then This was heartbreaking

Dante- He's tired

A voice said at her side she jumped slightly flicking a glance to her left Dante Falconeri stood next to her holding a steaming cup of coffee presumably for Nathan his gaze on Nathan defeated frame
