Ever since the graffiti appeared, Dr. Holden had been leaving her apartment as little as possible. The graffiti was bad enough, but as news trickled in that a girl had been killed, it was enough for Kelly to realize she wasn't about to take a chance. It got her thinking about other things too, which is why her days of self-imposed house arrest had been far from lazy. She'd spent most of the previous day outlining ideas for a Clinic and sent a request to the highest authority in the sector that she had an e-mail address for. The idea for a clinic was something she'd always thought about in the back of her mind: something she'd like to do when she got tired of the hustle and bustle of the ER and wanted a quieter assignment for her later years in life. Back in Ottawa she'd harbored thoughts of moving to one of the outlying towns and setting up a small private practice. Being on a first name basis with her patients, seeing entire families and helping them for years. Hoakey, sure, but it was something she wanted.
Now that it wasn't going to happen, she figured this would be the next best thing. If it was greenlit. of course.
Other than checking her e-mail compulsively every half hour, Kelly had been avoiding the network and its gossip. Focus, instead, was on tidying her apartment and gathering the medical supplies she'd horded in one place. She was at the terminal researching some medical supplies when there was a buzz at the door. She silently cursed herself for the surge of adrenaline and then made her way over to it. "Who is it?" she asked through the intercom. Once she was satisfied that it wasn't some disgruntled Normalis wanting to kill her, she opened the forcefield so she could greet her guest properly.
