Chapter One

"Need a break…." That's what the head Administrator said to Dr. Jordan Alexandar after her verbal blow up with the council member from downtown San Antonio; who was demanding that the Night Shift only take care of his son and no one else. That wasn't going to happen on her watch. To smooth feathers the Administer of Medicine recommended that she take some leave and very politely told her that she shouldn't follow the thorn in the hospital side while dealing with the city. Maybe she was taking after Thomas Charles (T.C.) Callahan, he had taught by example. After being with T.C. for over 10 years and working with him again, Jordan could see why they wanted her to take a break.

Jordan sat on the bench in the doctors and nurses locker room. Where was she going to go? Working on the night shift gave her a break from the emotions that were swirling through her mind and heart. 'Well that didn't work out well did it, Alexander?' Jordan thought.

Jordan started putting her stethoscope away as well as her name badge, when she felt her cell phone vibrate in her pocket that she had a message. 'Gang coming down to your state. Our team leader will be helping with police and S.W.A.T and whoever is interested in our line of work, more the better.

Jordan smiled as she read the message that Lucy Dodson sent. Lucy was and is a friend of Gwen's, who was long time friend before her and T.C. became friends with her in Baltimore. Jordan appreciated Lucy's calm amongst chaos. She typed back a message, 'When?! Gwen and I will meet you.' Jordan's inner excitement was contagious.

'Leaving end of the week' Lucy replied back.

'Send me details when you have them', Jordan typed back.

'Will do', was Lucy's returned reply.

Jordan put her cell in her locker and she changed out of her scrubs and into her civilian clothes. T.C. and Syd Jennings were still in Syria with the UN Relief Group. Jordan hadn't heard from them in a while. As she was leaving Jordan ran into Dr. Andrew Alister or Drew to every staff member. She was wondering if Rick had heard anything, "Hey Drew have you heard from Rick recently?"

"Not that I know of, why?

"Gwen and I have a friend that lives in the D.C. area and will be coming for a visit."

Drew shook his head that he understood, "I haven't checked my phone we've been swamped."

Jordan nodded her head in understanding to both points.

"I heard what happened, are you going to be okay?"

"I will be and thank you. This break will help me deal with some emotions that have been building for awhile."

Drew smiled lightly, "Call Rick or I if you need anything."

"I'll let you know." Drew went to check on his patients while Jordan headed out of the hospital, to contemplate her next move.
