Henry stares into thin air for a second before he returned back to reality and run out of the elevator who stayed open, trying to catch up with Catherine who is nowhere to find already when he finally got out of the elevator making him look around trying to catch a silhouette but she is really no where to find that he sighs putting his hands on his waist and pinching his both sides. “I will deal with you later.” He said to himself before he heads towards where he is being called or where he was told to go when his phone rang while searching for her. “Dr. Altman.” His intern said meeting him on the way towards the consult room where he is being called. “What happened?” Henry asks his intern as they walk together. “I heard someone was transferred here for a treatment.” The intern said. “And me being called means I might be his or her doctor for the stay here.” Henry said. “One of, I heard a lot of doctors have been called from different department of our hospital.” The intern said as they both hurried towards the consult room. “Just what kind of situation do we have here?” Henry said before opening the door of the consult room where he could see everyone from different department, the attendings listening attentively to what Dr. Bailey is saying. He entered completely, closing the door behind him as silent he could while looking around. And mouthed “There you are.” As soon as he caught a silhouette of someone, he has been looking for earlier. “I am hoping for the very best of your work to help me save this man’s life.” Dr. Bailey said in pleading, solemn voice while he looks around. Henry who is looking straight, listening attentively, surprisingly at him after getting a glimpse of Catherine got a nod from Dr. Bailey and so is Catherine that he quickly felt that he would need something from the both of them. “That is all people, now I dismiss you and let you go back to where you feel comfortable enough to present me a plan for this man.” Dr. Bailey said and soon people in the consult room started dispersing out of the room leaving no one but the three of them, Catherine, Dr. Bailey and Him. “I called you two both not because of I needed you guys to participate, instead I needed you two because this man is really in bad condition, having these complications from a plane crush, the one who made the number of survivors to rise, whom I think deserves to live in the best state he could for being such a hero.” Dr. Bailey said as he walks closer to them, although that being said, Catherine and Henry are on the both sides against each other. “So, as we heard.” Henry said. “Yeah. I thought of off loading you this time since I made you had too much on your plate the last time something big like this came.” Dr. Bailey said towards Henry. “No offense sir, but how would you do that?” Henry said in teasing tone who seems to be forgetting something or someone. “Well, as to what I can see, you are pretty hyped about it, forgetting that we have Dr. Stevens with us now whom I think you should fear because once she decided to suddenly change her specialty at this time, I am more than happy to give your spot since she is not inferior to you based on what I found out.” Dr. Bailey said back pointing to Catherine who is just so quiet the whole time in his teasing voice. Henry looked at him shock and speechless as he did forget about the fact that Catherine is not only knowledgeable in her own cardio specialty but also to his making him in danger if what Dr. Bailey said happens. “Sir, that is a mean joke. Even though it is true that she is not inferior to me and with a fact that I am, I am the one who felt inferior to her from the moment I saw that clean cut of a skull.” Henry said in joking tone trying to hide the fear Dr. Bailey made him realize. “Well, you should be. But right now, I do not need your inferiors towards each other but your cooperation.” Dr. Bailey said changing his tone from joking to a flatlined seriousness. Henry stood up straight putting his hands on his pant’s pocket and Catherine did the same thing looking at Dr. Bailey with their full attention and concentrating on what he is telling them that they should do. “It will be a long count of procedures. And so, I want you guys to be present the whole time, the family is requiring a certain amount of time of our chance or else they would send him to another hospital in another place or might be worse country. This man has suffered enough and he does not deserve to die just because we could not give the time they asked in his behalf.” Dr. Bailey said as he changes the things displayed on the big screen which has been shown to everyone to know the situation. “It is a big opportunity and honor to help sir, to help someone who have tried his best to save some people.” Catherine said nodding her head to Dr. Bailey who gave her a smile while Henry looked at her with a smile as well. “Soft hearted, are we not?” he thought to himself. “Well then, let me get through of everything once again as to where and what you should stand there for.” Dr. Bailey said starting their three-man discussions. Dr. Bailey have told everyone what these two doctors’ roles would be and he just wanted to be clear to them. Telling Catherine to do nothing but to make sure that his heart would be in best shape to go under and during while Henry needs to make sure that every nerve in his body will be safe and even the ones that got damage would be repaired as soon as he could. Giving them the sense of responsibility of this man’s life as they hold the two main thing of his life, his heart and his brain and making feel their importance as well that seems to be making a good effect on both of them as they look so eager but concentrating thinking while studying everything there is to know about this man who have broke a few bones which are all near his spinal cord and a heart who just recently gone of transplant.
