Samantha chuckled and said after looking over Katâ€™s expressions to her orders, â€œI promise there will be no more needles after today. All I really want to do is check your vitals and make sure the rest of you, is in tip top shape. You are being release right after one more round in the machine thatâ€™s it. I will be the one to take full responsibility for your stubborn attitude if you get out of line or overwork yourself.â€ She looked at Kat once and then listened to what she had to say. She was relieved at Katâ€™s decisions and pulled the machine over.  Looking over at Eric she said, â€œit is alright if he stays, it never really occurred to me to send him out.â€ Frowning a bit at his uncomfortable position she said, â€œOh come now, I swear I wonâ€™t be doing a colonoscopy today.â€ Setting the machine next to the bed she told Kat to lay down and then preceded to run the machine.<br/><br/>Eric was a little relieved but as a little nervous about the today part of her words, and he was flattered that Kat had wanted him to stay. Well not so much flattered as he appreciated it. There was no way he wanted to go back into that room where that nurse had been.  As if she had heard his thoughts she walked in and stood next to Samantha who looked irritated at her being there. They whispered about someone else on the ship having a heart attack. Samantha gave her orders and the nurse turned to leave giving Eric one more of her smiles. Shaking his head he felt uncomfortable again when he heard Samantha, â€œJenny, quite being childish and work on Mr. Ashton.â€<br/><br/>The nurse turned to Samantha in shock but the Dr. didnâ€™t turn around. Deflated Jenny went on her way as a smile spread across Ericâ€™s face. Still smiling as he looked to Kat and was about to say something when he lost his thought. Trying to remember he heard a knock on the door and Samanthaâ€™s exasperated sighs. â€œEric find out who it is and if it is Mr. Murdock tell him to beat it, Iâ€™m working and he can have the two of you when I am finished.â€ she hadnâ€™t even bothered to turn around again and he wondered briefly if she knew what some peopleâ€™s reactions were when she did that.<br/><br/>Getting up obediently he opened the door and sure enough it was the captain. He was looking in past Eric to Samantha, â€œShut the door Eric, heâ€™s not welcome yet.â€ The doctor said keeping her attention on Kat. Murdock frowned and was about to say something when Eric apologized and closed the door once more. Samantha winked at Kat and finished with the machine.  â€œYou did very well, I think youâ€™ll be doing summersaults in no time.â€ She said putting the machine away. â€œIâ€™ll have a talk with our impatient captain as you two talk to your heartâ€™s content.â€ Walking out the last think Eric heard of Samantha was her telling the captain off as the door slowly shut.<br/><br/>Murdock sat like a child as he was scolded by the head doctor. This wasnâ€™t right, he was the captain, she was supposed to be taking orders from him. Then again the thought of her putting something untraceable in his food made him very uncomfortable. So he sat and listened. â€œI think you are doing a fine job Samantha, keep up the good work. Iâ€™m going to see my subordinates now if that is alright with you.â€ He got up and Samantha frowned and shook her head a chuckle threatening to escape.<br/><br/>â€œAlright, but donâ€™t exhaust them.â€ She said walking in to the room first. â€œThe captain would like to have a word.â€ Glaring at the guy as he came in she went to work with cleaning up and discussing things with her own team in the next room. Murdock watched her go and exhaled slowly. â€œSheâ€™s quite the woman.â€ He said referring to her temperament. Looking from one to the other he smiled like a father would to his good children. â€œI assume she has said when you would be discharged.â€<br/><br/>Eric nodded and Murdock continued. â€œI would like you both to take a few days off, weâ€™ll handle things for right now.â€ As if anticipating an argument he held up his hand and said, â€œthis isnâ€™t up for a debate, the trouble will still be here when you two come back.â€ Eric frowned and leaned back in his chair.
