Chapter 30

The new orderly arrived for his first day at work in the intensive care and trauma ward. He showed the security guard his badge with an unfriendly demeanor of annoyed accommodation.

“New guy, huh? ICU, I see.” Floyd Melton grinned at his word play and squinted at the badge, sizing up the new employee. “All right, mister, ah, Lawrence. Do you know where to go?”

“Yes, sir.” The orderly looked around and down, not making direct eye contact with the security guard.

“All right, then. Have you worked in a hospital before? You look a little sharper than most of our orderlies. Better shape, too. Military man?”

The orderly looked up. “Sir, if you don’t mind, okay to go? I don’t want to be late.”

“No problem, Mr. Lawrence. I was in the Marine Corps thirty years. You sure look like a military man. I’m sure I will be seeing you around then.”

The orderly nodded and continued walking down the corridor making the hard left that visitors and new employees typically miss on their first time to this wing.

“I’m impressed. You do know where you are going. Pretty good, new guy!” the guard called out. “I’ll see you around.”

A maintenance man approached the guard to check in.

“Hey, José, man, saw a new big-ass orderly. Military man, looks like, but no Marine, I’ll tell ya. Looks Army. Probably fresh out. Think I’ll pay a visit this week to Meredith in HR upstairs and see who our new friend is. Be a good excuse to say hey. Is she is still sweet on that new administrator?”

“Yo no se.”

“Mmm-hmm. Well, riddle me this, then. Why they starting a new guy on midnight shift? You ever seen that happen?”

“Man, I don’t see nothing, Melton. That’s your job.”

“Mmm-hmm. Every soldier’s a sensor, José. You’re my soldier and my sensor.”

“I’m just a janitor, boss. They don’t tell me anything.” He waved over his shoulder as he walked away. “I just work here.”
