Chapter One

Daniela England was raring for a fight

The day felt like it’d been a whole week long already and it was only four o’clock in the afternoon To begin with, she’d been part of a team that hadn’t been able to resuscitate a stroke patient Then she’d had another patient leave against ued by the Eency Department director for e nurse position on the 7AM – 7PM shift Which, no way He kept pitching it as a promotion, but it came with massive headaches for only another 150 per hour, so Dani had been saying no for weeks

Tara flushed “Nothing’s up Things are just good right now”
