follow the rules set out by the
board of hospital administrators who are far more knowledgeable and experienced
than you are," she said sharply as she tapped out a staccato rhythm on her
clipboard. "I expect that you will do what is expected of you and that I
will not have to reprimand you again regarding your treatment of patients in
this hospital. Right now, you are an intern who is here gaining experience
through observation. You are never ever to treat a patient."
    "But I didn't--," I
protested.
    "Do not argue with me,
Miss Pierce," Mrs. Rikka said cutting me off. "Simply acknowledge
that you've made a mistake and move forward."
    "Yes, ma'am," I
said quietly.
    Liz cleared her throat and I
quickly grabbed her arm and squeezed it to stop her from letting loose with
what I knew would be a torrent of choice words.
    "And as for you, Miss
Baker," Mrs. Rikka turned her attention to Liz with narrowed eyes.
"You have been reported as hanging around the pharmacy far too often.
While you are on the ER rotation, you are to stay in the ER unless you are sent
out of the department for a specific reason. Do you understand?"
    "Yes, ma'am," Liz
choked out reluctantly as I dug my nails into the soft underside of her arm.
"I do."
    "Good, I'm glad we've
resolved these issues," Mrs. Rikka said as she turned to go. "Now, quickly
gather your supplies and get back upstairs. There was an apartment fire over on
the West Side and we're going to be getting a flood of patients in the next
twenty to thirty minutes."
    "Yes, ma'am," we
said in unison as we quickly returned to the task of gathering supplies.
    "I wonder if that hottie
you were talking to is going to be back today," Liz grinned as she grabbed
a handful of tape rolls and threw them in the basket.
    "Liz!" I said as I
felt the blush rising in my cheeks again. Secretly, I hoped that Cam Connor
would be coming through the ER today because I hadn't been able to get him out
of my thoughts since we had met.
    I felt a little ashamed of my
attraction to him since I knew he was probably a player who chatted up women
all over town. A guy that good looking most likely had a string of women and I
didn’t want to be lumped in with all the others, but I still wanted to see him
again. I muttered under my breath, "Not like he's been thinking about
me."
    "What did you say,
Alex?" Liz asked. "Are you talking to me?"
    "Nothing," I
mumbled. "Just thinking out loud."
    "About the
firefighter?" Liz grinned. "Damn, girl, he was a big, strong, Irish
lad! Don't you want to be his lassie?"
    "Liz, where on earth do
you come up with this stuff?" I laughed as I rolled the cart around and
scanned the supply room one last time to make sure we hadn't forgotten
anything.
    "Look, I like the boys,
and I'm not ashamed of it," Liz declared her voice echoing in the cement
room. She twirled around on her toes as she grabbed supplies from the shelves
and then approximated being en point as she placed the items in the cart. Only
Liz could pull off fake ballet moves in a basement supply room. "I think you
should own it, Alex. He's a hot guy and you're a gorgeous, young nursing
student. I mean, you can't make this stuff up!"
    "You are impossible,
Elizabeth Baker," I said rolling my eyes while secretly hoping she was
right. Cam Connor was a handsome man, and I was definitely attracted to him. I
just didn't want to be another notch on his bedpost. Or did I?
    "That I won't
deny," Liz smiled. "But I'm also right much of the time. Mark my
words, that boy will be back to see you."
    "What are you, psychic
now?" I laughed as we pushed the cart into the elevator and headed back up
to the ER.
    "Psychic or
psycho," Liz shrugged. "Same diff, different day!"
    Back up in the ER, we found
organized chaos as the staff prepped for the incoming injured patients. Liz and
I quickly stocked each exam area with as much gauze as it could hold and then
went back to the back room to grab IV bags. The charge nurse warned us that
burn injuries were pretty
