"I was just wondering what you found so interesting about them."
"I wasn’t finding anything so interesting about them."
"Because you weren’t staring at them."
"Right."
"Then what were you doing?"
She glared at him. "Did you need something, Carter?"
"Can you help me with some traction? I need to reset this guy’s shoulder."
"Is that the 250-pound college wrestler they just brought in?"
"Yeah."
She glanced down at her own small frame and back at him. "Don’t you think Malik would be more helpful?"
"Well… yeah… but then I wouldn’t have gotten to see what was so interesting about Weaver and Legaspi." He grinned, a calculatedly boyish smile that Abby had seen fell lesser women. "Other than the obvious."
"And what might the obvious be?"
"Randi says there’s something going on between them."
"Randi needs to keep her mouth shut," she snapped without thinking.
A puzzled look flickered through his eyes. "You don’t agree?"
"I think it’s none of my business, none of Randi’s business and none of yours."
He inclined his head in cession to her point. "You’re right, but…" He shook his head and glanced back across the desk. "I just hope Kerry doesn’t get hurt."
"What’s that supposed to mean?"
"Come on, you’ve heard the rumors." He leaned closer, ducking his head conspiratorially. "It’s pretty clear that Legaspi has been around a block or three when it comes to women."
"And you know this because…"
"Randi says…"
"Why are you suddenly confusing Randi with NPR?"
"Grapevine broadcasts 24/7," he said, the shrug clear in his voice. "Beats summer reruns."
"Well broadcast this… what makes you so sure that Kim’s out to hurt Kerry? Or that Kerry can’t hurt Kim?"
"Kim?" He looked at her incredulously. "Since when did fuck-with-my-head-fuck-with-my-life-Legaspi become Kim?"
Abby blew out an exasperated breath, irritated that her frustration with Carter had goaded her into opening her mouth. She knew better than to play the telephone-game-of-gossip and should have just pointed out some of the outlandish things that had been bandied about concerning his drug use to make her point. Instead she had rushed to Kim’s defense, when God knows the woman didn’t need some kind of knight errant in a creaky leather jacket and pink scrubs taking up her banner. Still, from the fascinated look on Carter’s face, she knew she wasn’t going to get out of the topic without parting with at least a crust of information. "Since we became friends, Carter."

I have to admit that I stopped watching ER several years ago, but after reading this, two things came to mind. 1. If I could have watched this story, with this dialogue on my TV screen I would still be watching faithfully each and every week. 2. This was a great reminder of why I shouldn’t ever work in a hospital…way too much gossip!!!! LOL Wonderful story…beautiful writing. Thank you for posting this here. And thank you for inspiring Jacky. The degrees of separation continue to prove true. While you were writing this, did you ever think that because of someone somewhere reading it, that a fan site would be established for a completely different show, that would in turn change thousands of lives all around the world? I know, amazing isn’t it…the power of a story. Thanks again.

Gosh! This is fantastic. I love all the characters on ER and you’ve done a truly excellent job with all the conflicting emotions and the power of irresistible forces of attraction between Abby and Kim. I enjoyed every word.
