Scardino was nervous.
The moment he opened the door of his office, Lois knew that he was nervous.
"Ms Lane," he said in a choked-off voice.
His nervousness confirmed Lois's suspicion. This was the end. They were taking her from the operation. Her focus now had to be about ensuring they allowed her one final shift.
Scardino sat on his side of the desk and fidgeted with a pen before gathering enough poise to look in her direction.
"Is this about your meeting with Menzies?" Lois asked.
Scardino took a moment to compose his reply. "It's about the outcome of that meeting," he admitted.
Yup, Menzies had ordered her removal.
Many thanks to the person - you know who you are, but I'm not sure if you want it publicised - who helped me with the medical terms and what I would need for some field surgery.
And Jonas is Iolanthe's improvement on my original idea.
Thanks!
Corrina.
