FTEC, Wednesday day

It hadn't taken long for Tommy to shake the nurse down - not literally - to find out who had put his truck on the roof.

Getting the truck off the roof was another matter entirely.

Tommy kept making phone calls, all the while plotting his revenge.

"I bet your parents are so proud of you."

"My mother's dead and my father hasn't seen sobriety or his testicles since the fifties," Tommy replied. "So can't really say as I've asked them."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"My heart bleeds, and hey look, so does my hand, funny that."

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Tommy said, folding his arms. "Sucks to be you, huh?"

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"See, there's a world reowned sympathy of the medical profession," Seely deadpanned.

"Firefighter," Tommy said, pointing at himself. "Technically I don't have to do squat until somebody throws a match at you."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'll bet you don't get paid if you let patients bleed out all over your nice, shiny, clinic floor."

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"I'm in charge, I get paid regardless," Tommy said. "Plus I've got minions to clean the mess up. On the other hand if you'd like to quit yapping and sit your ass down in Exam 1 I suppose I could put a bandage on you."

"Whatever you say, you're the gut without the medical degree."

"Oh fer Christ's sake - sit," Tommy told him.

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"I'm sitting, I'm sitting," Seely said, then actually sat.

"Thank Christ, now I can stop waiting for the Vatican to declare it a miracle," Tommy said. He snapped on some gloves and got to work cleaning the wound.

"Why? You looking for canonisation or something?"

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Peace and quiet, but I'll take what I can get," Tommy said. Appropriately enough, he squinted at the wound. "What faggoty dog did you piss off, anyway?"

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Not a dog," Seely said. "Unless the dogs around these parts are green and two legged."

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Actually around here I wouldn't rule that out so quickly," Tommy said.

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Your science experiment escape?"

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but the less said about Colleen the better," Tommy replied.

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"You named a green, scaly thing Colleen?" Seely raised one eyebrow. "Lemme guess, ex-girlfriend."

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Daughter, asshole," Tommy told him. "And one more smart word out of you and you'll be bleeding from new places."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Seely could have said something, but he did possess some sense of self-preservation, so he kept his mouth shut.

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Good choice," Tommy told him. He finished cleaning and bandaging 'Seely's' hand. "Okay. Keep it clean, try to control the urge to play with broken glass, blah blah blah..."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"I look stupid to you? Don't answer that."

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Have a nice day, princess," Tommy said, waving him off.

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"I will," Seely said, putting a hand over his heart. "Don't forget to write."
