Dr. Ariana Cole stood in line at the hospital cafeteria waiting to get some food before she had to introduce herself to a patient and get things ready for another day in paradise. Ariana loved being an anesthesiologist but lately the hospital drama and her boyfriend’s sudden death just got her. She was given the go ahead by her boss to take as much time needed to cope with her boyfriend’s death. The red head sighed as she got what she was going to have for lunch that day. A bag of chips, water, and a salad would do for her. She placed those items on a tray and went to the checkout line. She paid for her lunch and headed out of the cafeteria to go get some fresh air outside.
Ariana took her tray and headed outside to a beautiful day. The sun was shinning for the first time in days and it was just a gorgeous view. Ariana stood outside for a moment looking for a peaceful table to sit at and she found one. She hurried over to that table and placed her food on the table as she pulled up her the sleeves of our surgical gown. She sat down and took out her phone to see if she had any important messages on her phone. Ariana didn’t and decided to text message her twin and see if he wanted to hang out this weekend. Ariana was close with her brother Jacob, since that was her twin, and it always seemed obvious that they would hang out during the weekend. If their schedules allowed which wasn’t quite that often Jacob was a forensic scientist while Ariana was an anesthesiologist.
Ariana sent the text message and placed her phone by her tray as she began to eat her lunch which wasn’t very much, but it would hold her until she had that snack. It was kind of odd, but the neurosurgeon she was to work with this afternoon always allowed her to go get a snack. She didn’t know why, maybe it was because she was a diabetic and always needed sugar in her system or it was flirting. Ariana really didn’t seem to think it was the flirting or maybe he was flirting with her and she was just stupid to realize it. She sighed as she took a drink of her water and glanced around the courtyard.

Richard sat in the car, going through the many papers in the file. It was all information on a young woman he was here to recruit. He had gone over her information earlier, but had just attained new information regarding the fact that her boyfriend had recently died. His dark eyes skimmed over the papers before he put them down, closing them in the folder. Putting them away in his suitcase, he straightened his tie before getting out of the car and closing the door behind him. He headed up the slight walk to the hospital before entering the main doors. Without hesitating, he went to the front desk.
"Could you tell me where Ms. Cole would be?" Richard asked politely. He waited a few moments for the woman behind the desk to rifle through papers, but had hardly had any chance to say anything before a younger nurse who was passing by spoke up. "She just went on lunch break, she's probably in the courtyard." Nodding his thanks, Richard turned and headed for the door to the courtyard. No one seemed to be questioning on why he was there, assuming he knew Ariana.
Pushing the door open, Richard stepped outside and glanced around the courtyard quickly, spotting where the young woman sat eating her lunch. He wore a dark navy suit and carried a suitcase; clearly he was not a doctor or patient at the hospital, he looked like he was a businessman. He approached the anesthesiologist, coming to a stop by her table, allowing a friendly smile to cross his face.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Cole. I was told you would be eating lunch out here," Richard spoke smoothly. He shifted th suitcase to his other hand as he offered his to shake. "I am Richard Alpert, I am a representative for a company called the Mittelos Bioscience." Richard paused here, allowing time for Ariana to react. They had done thorough research on Ariana's background and knew that recently her boyfriend had died. He didn't want his sudden appearance to startle her.

Ariana glanced up as she removed one of her red glades of hair from her eyes as she heard the man speak on behalf a company called Mittelos Bioscience. She had not heard of Mittelos Bioscience before but maybe they were a new company looking for people. Ariana opened her bag of chips and ate one as she debated in her mind to speak to this person. As she finished chewing her chip she bit her lower lip and responded, “Mr. Alpert is it? Would you like to sit down?” she asked as Ariana held out her for a hand shake.
The anesthesiologist was trying to be polite towards Richard. She wondered what he had to say and would most likely listen to what he had to say. Ariana wasn’t one of those people to ignore people who were representing companies. She always liked to hear what they offered. However, it would to seem that if they wanted her she would most likely turn them down. Moreover, but that was only because she didn’t want to relocate anywhere else she wanted to stay in Portland while her boyfriend was in Iraq. Ariana sighed at the thought of her boyfriend.
“So Mr. Alpert is this Mittelos Bioscience a new company because I have never heard of it before” Ariana responded.

Richard smiled slightly as he sat down at the table on the seat across from her, putting his suitcase down. He only allowed a few seconds before he replied. It was a common question asked when he was trying to recruit someone; everyone asks if it is new as it is not hear of. He opened up his suitcase slightly and pulled out a brochure for Mittelos Bioscience, handing it to her. "The Mittelos Bioscience has been around for a couple of years," Richard stated vaguely, although he did not wait for her to answer before ploughing on with his speech. "We offer the facilities, doctors and scientists needed for our research. We heard of your work as an anesthesiologist and would like to offer you a spot in our team," Richard said with a smile, pausing now to allow her time to look through the brochure.
The brochure was quite simple, bearing the company's logo and name on the front. There was a description of the company and what they do with their work inside, along with some pictures of well kept buildings as well as places to live on company grounds, along with recreation and activities to do in spare time. Apart from the brochure, Richard usually has a slide show to show when recruiting, but due to the fact they were in a courtyard and did not have the room or video player needed, that would not be possible. Of course, he could always return another day if she wanted to think about it and wanted to meet again.

Ariana nodded as she heard Richard speak. She went through the pages of the brochure that he had headed her. She carefully examined every page with care as she turned the pages. She finished reading the brochure and closed it as she drank some of her water. She gazed around the courtyard and saw the neurosurgeon that had been flirting with her since she started work here walking towards her. “Well, Mr. Alpert, Mittelos sounds something I would like to do” She paused for a bit as she turned her head toward Richard. “However, there is one slight problem I would want to join your company as of right now, but my boss over their Dr. Gayle seems to not let me allow to leave” Ariana bit her lower lip. “However, if you could do something to make him change his mind, I would love to start working at Mittelos possibly start tomorrow, hell or even today, but with background checks that might take a while, right?” asked Ariana who eagerly wanted to go to this company to get away from that odd neurosurgeon.
The anesthesiologist turned her head away from Richard for a bit as she grabbed a chip out of her bag and watched the neurosurgeon sit with a bunch of nurses. She shook her head. She didn’t like the neurosurgeon because all he wanted to do was have sex with her and she always refused yet he always had her assigned to his team no matter how many times she turned him down for sex in the on call room. Ariana turned her back as the neurosurgeon glanced up at her. She looked over at Richard as she placed her empty chip bag on the tray that was in front of her.

Richard waited patiently as she went through the pages of the brochure. Her willingness to come and work for the company had made this quite easy, although there was the slight problem of Dr. Gayle. Richard did not see how he would have much control over Ariana, but it was something they could easily deal with. "We have already done background checks," Richard said with a slight smile. "We have done a thorough background check and everything is in order."
Richard paused as he glanced over to Dr. Gayle, knowing the situation would be dealt with. Having a doctor such as Dr Gayle would not hold them back from recruiting Ariana. "As for Dr. Gayle, we will speak to him though I assure you he will not hold you back from joining us. If you are ready to start right away, we can pick you up at the Union Station at one o'clock this Friday." Friday was not that far off, but Richard thought it would be better to give her some time to prepare to leave and make any good-byes she would want to make. He had only approached her with the proposal of joining the company that day, although he would admit it had been easier getting her interested in joining as it has with others in the past.
"Do you have any questions?" Richard asked, turning his attention back to Ariana. He did not have anything else to explain to her about the company, now that he has gotten her so interested in joining and leaving her job with Dr. Gayle. If the doctor was the only thing holding her back from taking this position, he would easily be attended to. This meeting with Ariana had been rather short and abrupt, but it was all that was necessary for that time.

“Yeah where exactly is this company located at?” Ariana asked she had not seen anything in the brochure that she had just read didn’t seem to mention where the company was located. She didn’t mind relocating to a different town. She just had to get away from Portland and away from this hospital. She sighed as she looked back towards Dr. Gayle and noticed that he was standing behind her. “Dr. Cole” The neurosurgeon begun, “I couldn’t help, but overhear that you were going to Union Station at one’clock on Friday, I hate to beg to differ, but as your boss and the man in charge of funeral arrangements for my brother I have decided to move services to one o’clock” Dr. Gayle annouced as Ariana rolled her eyes at Dr. Gayle. “Carl, you can do whatever you want because I won’t be in attendance” Ariana said pleasantly to Carl Gayle as he glanced at her and just walked away for now.
Ariana shook her head as she watched Carl walk away and sighed in relief. “I’m sorry about Dr. Gayle that was kind of a bit rude, I will speak to him this afternoon or I will speak with Dr. Mitchell she is really my boss, he just acts like he the Chief of Surgery, but he really isn’t.” Ariana said as she made a comment on Dr. Gayle’s sudden appearance to Richard and her. It was kind of odd for Carl of all people to do that when she was talking with people. He had never done that with the other recruiters from the other companies, but with this one it just seemed odd.
