Subj: So...
I know things have been nuts, but do you think you girls can do without me for two weeks?
Doctors without Borders asked if I could go to West Africa to help fight that Ebola plague that's going around. I was inclined to tell them to fuck off, but it's clear they need the help, and they swore it'd be a limited stay.
Besides, I'm probably safer there than here.

I'll see what I can do, but I have a feeling it'll be tough to get anything out of the country?

We'll muddle through. :) When do you leave? I'll get in touch with Amelia so we can coordinate our schedules to cover your shifts.
Be careful. If you need anything don't hesitate to call. We do have a super sonic jet.

I leave Wednesday night! Very exciting stuff, in the most terrifying way possible. I'm happy to do it - it's important, and everything I read suggests that MSF is struggling in the worst possible way - but still, makes a girl wonder.
Promise I'll be in touch if anything terrifying should happen. Drinks before I go?

That kind of dedication to a cause is something to be admired. They're lucky to have you.
Please do. I'd like to have at least a couple of months between rescue missions.
Drinks would be fabulous. Do you have anywhere in mind?

God, thank you for saying that. Wade thinks I'm crazy, clearly. I think I'm crazy.
Harry's? Haven't been in there in a surprisingly long while. But honestly, I'm not picky.

He's in protective friend mode. You put yourself in harms way the moment you came back here. Going there will also put you at risk but it's for a good cause. Perhaps you are a little crazy, but crazy is often what's needed to get the job done. Sometimes it won't get done any other way.
Like I said though, just be careful. Disease is something that's always been a worry for me. Broken bones I can treat. Viruses...
I'm all for Harry's. I get the occasional free drink for being a frequent flyer.

I know. You can talk him off the ledge when I ignore his demands that I call him from an un-tappable satellite phone every day.
Perfect. I have yet to make an impression on anyone there, but that's probably a factor of not sticking around long enough. And yet here I go again. Let's do it.
