While looking into the mirror, Tia Young realized her life was going wrong. Since coming to The Kingdom, she had lost so much of her past life. Walt was gone, her career was stale and her friendship with Mike Jaydon could be ruined by her foolish advancement. To top it off, her brother Ramon was trying to bring the life she had escaped, a life of crime, back to her. She had to admit that the lure of this new temptation was more than appealing. Her life was a mess, so maybe she should go back to her family life where she knew she would have support. Yet she had dedicated her life to helping people, to uphold the law. How could she give up on her principles and go against her life's work? She couldn't. Trying to forget about it, Tia popped a sleeping pill and headed to her bedroom. She needed to sleep, and when she was in slumber, maybe she could just forget. She just wanted to forget.

Angel Blackgreen looked out of the window of her new office, and wondered about her new life, and if it was the right thing for her. She watched the people walking in the streets, watched them in the parks. From so high up, they looked so small. From her old office window, she could see who they were and what they were doing. Now, all she could see were small figures undertaking meaningless tasks. She had thought long and hard about coming to work for the hospital, and the pros had outweighed the cons at the time. Now, with her office so cold and sterile and her silly uniform, she felt so alone for the first time in her career. Even with all these people around her, she felt as though she couldn't connect with them. With her small practice, she could connect and spend time with them. Here, she had to treat and street in order to see the next one. She still had her regular patients, but the others she saw were just faceless people in a faceless hospital. The upside was the hours. She had the power to set her own schedule and spend more time with her children. Also, she could see Mark a lot more. Those things should have been enough for her to get used to her new role. Yet, she was just numb. Maybe she would get used to it, and even start to enjoy it? She hoped so....she really did.

Angel headed for the ambulance bay, where she could intake some much needed fresh air. As soon as she stepped outside, she was hit by the small of freshly cut grass and spring flowers. It was pleasant being out here, even with the large rigs parked in their spaces. She wondered how long that would last. Once the hospital was fully up and running, the cars would increase and the smell would turn to something you would normally smell in the city. This hospital was going to serve all the surrounding towns, it was clear the traffic - both vehicle and human - would increase soon enough. She had to enjoy it while she could. As she neared the front of the building, she noticed Mark chatting to a woman she had yet to meet. Angel looked at her uniform, and felt slightly jealous. Hers was so much nicer. Angel hated yellow. Why was she stuck with that silly colour? "So when we get the unit fully functional, we can start moving the critical cases over here," Mark said. "We are fully staffed so can handle it when the time comes. All we need is the last bits of equipment and we are good to go," the woman replied. Mark turned, hearing Angel's footsteps. "Oh, Angel. I'm glad you came down. This is Dr. Maria Clark, she's the new head of Paediatrics." Angel offered her hand. "Nice to meet you." Maria flashed a warming smiled, and shook Angel's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet the spouse of the Chief Of Staff. I've heard a lot about you." "I hope it was all good." "Of course. Well, I hate to run off now, but I've got a lot of paperwork to get through. Nice to meet you, Angel," Maria said, then headed away from them. "Do you like her? She was the best in her field in Boston," Mark asked as soon as Maria was out of earshot. "I do. She seems a lovely person." "I'm glad we got her to work here. It was tough, three other hospitals were after her," Mark rambled. "I think we got her because of the work the old hospital has done with children." "Your like a kid at Christmas. I'm glad things are working out for you, Mark. This place is amazing and I know you'll make it even better," she told him honestly. Mark kissed her softly and said: "I should get inside. I've got a meeting." Angel watched him leave. She could see how happy he was, and she knew he loved having her here with him. Yet she was still feeling unsure of her choice to work in the hospital. She'd just have to get on with it. She made her bed, and now it was time to settle down in it.
