Chapter two

Rosa's POV

I sit in my car for a few minutes. I take my meds and breathe. I grab my bag and get out of my car. I thought the walk would do me good. It did. Kind of. I walk calmly into the emergency department and up to the desk. There is a nurse standing there and a woman behind her.

'Hi, I'm Rosa Sánchez. Your new trauma fellow. I'm looking for Sharon Goodwin.' I say. Just then, the woman standing behind the nurse walks up to us.

'Sharon Goodwin, chief of services.' She says as she puts her hand put for a handshake. I shake it and she continues. 'Great to have you on board.' A few moments later I hear a familiar voice behind me.

'¡Dios Mío! Oh my god! Rosa Sánchez?' He says. I turn around and see a doctor in scrubs standing behind me.

'Connor Rhodes! Fancy seeing you here.' I respond.

'How do you two know each other?' The nurse asks.

'We both grew up in Lake Shore Drive. Our families were close.' Connor replies.

'Well. I see you're in the capable hands of Dr Rhodes. He'll show you the ropes.' Ms Goodwin says. She then walks away.

Connor's POV

'You've met Maggie. She's the nurse in charge. Come on. I'll show you your locker.' I instruct her. We walk into the doctors lounge and I give her the combination for her locker. She takes out some personal belongings including a bottle of water and puts them in the locker. She gets out a picture of us. 'I remember that day. Our joint 16th birthday. That was one crazy day.' We laugh amd she sticks in on the inside of the locker door. She then goes to change into her scrubs. A few minutes later she returns and gets out her stethoscope. It's got an engraving on that say,' felicitaciones a mi bebé niñas', it means, 'congratulations my baby girl'. Her mum got it for her for her graduation from med school. She puts it in her pocket, closes her locker and we walk back out of the doctors lounge. As soon as we walk out Maggie calls around all the doctors and nurses.

'Listen up guys. We have a new trauma fellow. Rosa Sánchez. Make her feel welcome and show her the ropes.' She announces. The doctors and nurses all nod their heads and gets back to their duties.

Rosa's POV

My first shift goes well. At the end of my shift Connor approaches me. 'Fancy going for a drink. Celebrate your first shift?'

'Sure.' I reply.

We go to a pub called Molly's. It's owned by a man who is later learned goes by the name of Herrmann. I have a few glasses of lemonade and then drive back on. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be but I feel that's all going to change soon.
