Clinic Hours - Tuesday November 22nd 2005

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

The passage of air was LOUD today and Wilson moved very, very carefully in an attempt to keep the air as still as possible. He was late opening the Clinic not because he was late getting *to* the Clinic but because he was moving very slowly…in the hope of keeping the air really quiet.

Getting the doors open, he started a pot of coffee and sucked back the third 20oz bottle of water he’d been drinking since about oh…not too many hours ago. Putting a happy face on, he managed to do rounds without passing out, which was a blessing, checking in on Rory, Logan and Jack before crawling back up to the front desk.

Sitting down, very carefully –DAMN AIR WILL YOU SHUT UP!- Wilson leaned forward till he could cradle his head on his forearms. Seven…liquors….what the hell had he been thinking last night?

That it felt good to laugh a little and not hurt…andohGodI’mnottwentyanymore

Dragging his water bottle down into his lap to snuggle it close, Wilson reached for the half a piece of bagel he’d been trying to choke down for over an hour now. He was about half-way through it. By noon he might be finished with it.

If I live that long…Crowley is going to kill me.

Taking a slow breath, Wilson sat up and reached for a chart. He was being in his charting and really needed to catch up, if the little black squiggly lines would just stay still long enough for him to read them.

Doctor on Duty.

Logan nodded. "I think he's after Veronica. Mars. I don't know if you know her?"

"Blonde girl? Pegged Angelus for Kitty's death? I've met her." Anakin's eyes flashed. "Bel after her for that?"

"That's my understanding of things," Logan said. "Haven't had the chance to ask him myself. Got a little tied up this weekend, but it's on my to-do list."

"If you'd like someone else there to stand in the corner and glower or something, let me know." Anakin grinned, all teeth, no amusement. "Threatening people for telling the truth? Not acceptable."

Re: Logan Echolls -NFB- [Tuesday evening before Caritas]

Logan hesitated. "Do you want to hear the evidence? Hear what Angelus did?"

Re: Logan Echolls -NFB- [Tuesday evening before Caritas]

"You've heard it? Yeah, I think I'd like to." Anakin blew out a breath. "See how bad it was for myself."

Logan got his iPod from the nightstand, and offered the earbuds to Anakin. Once Anakin was ready, Logan pressed play.

As Anakin listened to the recording, his face slowly drained of color. His hands curled into fists.

When he finally looked at Logan, his eyes were very, very cold.

"This is what Belthazor wanted to protect?" he spat. "This thing, this monster? Whatever torture Angelus might be feeling with his soul, whatever torment? Absolutely just."

Logan nodded, his eyes meeting Anakin's in a hard glare. "But he has a soul now," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Re: Logan Echolls -NFB- [Tuesday evening before Caritas]

"Yeah," Anakin said, matching Logan's tone. "I'm sure that makes it all better."

He glared at nothing. "I need to find out more about this curse. Find out if the punishment really does fit the crime." He tried to give an innocent look, but it didn't come close to his eyes. "Jedi are all about the pursuit of justice, after all. Could consider it a personal goal to make sure he's suffering enough."

Re: Logan Echolls -NFB- [Tuesday evening before Caritas]

"If not," Logan said. "It's really our civic duty to find a way he does."

Re: Logan Echolls -NFB- [Tuesday evening before Caritas]

"I agree." Anakin stood up regretfully. "I should probably head down to Caritas now, see if torture by karaoke is at all effective. I'm guessing probably not."

He paused at the door. "Want anything from Vegas? Something hugely expensive that I can charge to Angelus's credit card, maybe?"

Re: Logan Echolls -NFB- [Tuesday evening before Caritas]

[fh_jackass]

"Surprise me," Logan suggested, with a small smile.

Re: Logan Echolls -NFB- [Tuesday evening before Caritas]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Will do." Anakin grinned. "When I get back, you should be out of here. There's something to look forward to."

Re: Logan Echolls -NFB- [Tuesday evening before Caritas]

Logan nodded, and his eyes flickered toward a backpack sitting in the corner, a bright orange water gun peeking out of the top. "I already know what I want to do," Logan grinned.
