A distinctly affable Diane met Nicky when she arrived back at the lab. “Why don’t you take the rest of the day off, Nicky? Right now the details are somewhat sketchy, but you’ll need to get everything you might need ready for the journey tomorrow.”

“Do you have any idea what the departure time is?” Nicky moved toward her workstation and began putting her things away.

“Hmm, not really. All I really know is that you should take as little as possible. They promised to send me the list of the required gear later on this afternoon.” Standing closer to her friend, she patted her hand. “Listen, as soon as I find out the final details, I’ll come by your apartment and let you know the where and when.” Bending slightly so she could see Nicky’s face, she asked, “Are you okay?”

“Diane, do you think Ms. Aristides is still upset with me for saying no to begin with?”

Diane smiled and gave a small snort. “All I can tell you is that when I called her, she seemed truly glad you would be going. You came through for the company at short notice, Nicky; I don’t think that will be forgotten.” Smiling warmly she added, “You did good, kid.”

Placing her personal technological gadgets into a small bag, she looked directly at her boss. “I’m relieved to hear that. It would have been difficult on the trip if she was still upset.” Looking around the area, she shrugged her shoulders. “Guess I have everything, now I’d better go home and get my gear together.” She nodded her head as she hesitated, her feet unwilling to move. “Okay then, I’ll see you later on Diane.” She was almost to the door when she heard Diane call out to her.

“Nicky.”

“Yeah?” she responded, relieved that she could delay her departure a bit longer. “Is there something you need me to do here?” she asked hopefully.

Diane had to laugh at her obviously nervous colleague. “No, you’re all done here.” She walked over to her friend and hugged her. “You need to lighten up. Everything is going to be okay. It’s just a field trip and nothing more.” Stepping back a step she added, “Have a good time, my friend. Try to relax and enjoy yourself. Who knows, you might love it. Now get going and I’ll see you before you go.”
