anyone who deters him from getting both would always be on his blacklist. And I was a young doctor. I needed to create a good foundation if I ever wanted to move up in the department.
    For the sake of maintaining my future, I swallowed. “Of course,” I said hoarsely.
    Mr. Listrom slapped his hands. “Excellent. Well then—”
    “Then I volunteer as well,” Doc Jones interjected.
    Mr. Listrom looked at him in surprise. I stared at Doc in similar surprise.
    “That’s not necessary, Dr. Jones,” Mr. Listrom said. “Dr. Lyon will head the team and she can recruit some staff members to join her. We don’t need the head of ER going off as well. That’s too many from one department.”
    Doc Jones’ jaw tightened as he said evenly, “Well, it’s only general treatment in ER. As Dr. Kincaid said, it will be easy to find replacements for us. If Dr. Lyon goes, then I go as well.”
    Mr. Carew beamed. “Wonderful!” he said. “It’ll be a great help to have two such talented doctors on our team!”
    Mr. Listrom’s mouth opened and shut ineptly, unable to stop Mr. Carew from accepting Doc Jones’s offer. He instead turned and glared at Edward, who had the grace to bow his head sheepishly.
    Now Mr. Listrom would have the more arduous task of finding a new Head of ER and that would be no easy task indeed. As casual and sarcastic as Doc Jones was, he was an incredible doctor with unmatched stamina and skill. I highly doubted Mr. Listrom would find an equal.
    I looked over at Doc Jones and whispered, “You didn’t have to do that.”
    Doc Jones shook his head. “ He didn’t have to do that,” he said contemptuously, referring to Edward and his dirty move.
    I sighed. I couldn’t argue there.
    Doc Jones suddenly leaned back in his seat and looked at me, a wry smile tugging at his lips. “I always imagined taking a vacation some day near some sand in a sunny place with a coconut drink in my hand.” He shrugged. “I guess I should’ve been more specific.”
    I couldn’t help but grin at his humor. “Coconut drinks don’t sound too bad.”

                  I slid down the wall in the corner of one of the empty staff break rooms. I pulled out a crinkled piece of paper from my scrub pocked and looked at the number I had carefully transcribed from my arm.
                  With my heart thudding near my ears, I pulled out my cellphone and dialed the number.
                  The deed was done and I was put on the roster for the Unchartered Relief Aid mission to Qunar. But even still, I wanted to meet this mystery man once more before I left if for nothing else, just to see him when I was sober.
                  But perhaps if I saw him before I left…and the sparks flew again….Well, three months wasn’t too terrible a wait. Perhaps if I set things up now, we could pick up again when I returned.
                  The line rang. I swallowed nervously.
                  Then suddenly I heard a click.
                  “Hello? Hi. Um. This is—”
                  But my nervous greeting was cut off by a recorded message.
                  “ This line is no longer in service. We are unable to connect you. Please check the number again.”
                  I sighed and threw my head back.
                  Figures.
                  Well, at least now I could head to Qunar without any loose ends. Without any ends. All my beginnings and endings were about to start again but this time, half way across the world.

                  Bear sighed as he leaned back in his chair and crossed his feet in front of him. “I gotta say, Cap,” he said, his eyes closed in relaxation, “this is a lot easier than most of our missions.”
                  I snorted as I took a sip from my canteen. I looked out at the barren wasteland. A few hundred
