    Air Supply…Chapter 13

    “Shane would you come with me please?”  (Shane follows Dr. Schmidt as they approach Bette, who is now standing and holding Angie’s hand.  They talk briefly as Tina looks on from afar.  Bette hugs Angie and hands her over to Shane.  Madeleine then walks Bette to her car.  Bette avoids looking in Tina’s direction and Madeleine walks back towards Tina and Shane but just passes them as she walks towards the hospital entrance.  Tina quickly tells Shane she has to go and will see her later.  She kisses Angie and then catches up with Dr. Schmidt who keeps walking.)

    “Dr. Kennard I can’t discuss it with you.”

    “Is she all right?”

    “I think she’ll be ok.  We’ll see how things go when she returns.  We’ll see where things stand with Bassey.”

    “Bassey?  What do you mean?”

    “The leave of absence…it was a forced leave…she’s essentially suspended informally.”

    “What???!!!  Why?”  (Dr. Schmidt slows down and then stops walking as she addresses Tina.)

    “Because Bette had the audacity to show up almost an hour late for a patient conference without so much as an excuse.  She had decided to visit Marti in ICU instead.  When Bette finally showed at the meeting, Dr. Bassey unleashed on her…tore a strip off…in front of everyone.  It wasn’t pretty.  Bassey’s had enough.”

    “Enough of what?”

    “Of Bette…of seeing Bette falling apart.  Things don’t usually affect their professional relationship…when that started unraveling, even just a bit…well…fear comes in many forms…Bassey had been giving her some leeway during all these antics and whatnot and she finally just blew a gasket…Bette’s never ignored a direct order, at least not so blatantly.  I guess that’s a sign of losing control that Dr. Bassey just couldn’t ignore.”

    “I don’t know…it’s not been that bad.  Things just get stressful…”

    “Speak for yourself, Dr. Kennard.”

    “Well, I’m surprised she’d walk into a meeting so late…especially for Dr. Bassey…but…”

    “But what?”

    “I don’t know…I just…”

    “You just?  Just what?”  (Tina looks at Dr. Schmidt, wondering why she’s getting testy.)  “You know I don’t think you’re that far off from where Bette is right now Tina.  You haven’t been yourself.  Both of you seem to be…digressing, if you will.”

    “But Dr. Schmidt…”

    “Forget it…just…you need to get your act together.”
