Code Blue: The Surgeon's Scalpel

Summary

"Who gave you permission to use Operating Room 7?"

I had just pulled down my mask, my hands barely out of the sterile field, when the question hit me like a slap to the face.

I looked up. Liam Carter stood in the center of the hallway, his lab coat crisp, his ID badge glaring under the fluorescent lights.

"As of right now, you are suspended."

The surrounding area instantly fell silent.

The lights at the nurses' station were on, and several doctors stopped dead in their tracks, all eyes turning toward us.

I let out a short laugh. "Excuse me?"

Liam took a step forward, his voice louder.
