I cringe when she wheels me back in, thankful she can't see me.
I look over Zero's chart and a smile spreads over my face. Finally, some good news. My smile sours a little when I think of how exactly that could have come about... maybe Bran was ste…
"Shit, Janco. I have WORK to do. I don't have time for sleep or therapy." I protest, knowing full well I'll cave and do it. Sometimes I need to be reminded I can't work all the hours in the day.
I stare at her for a moment. She really is a damn fin…
Of course he looked- I grin. I love when they brag about how much bigger theirs is- as if a big dick is all you need. My head cocks a bit to the side. Interesting. "Some aren't for sale. Others negotiable. Who did you have your eye on?" I answer.
I…
To anyone else I'd give them a look and wheel myself away, but Janco doesn't take no for an answer so I just frown and let her push my damn chair. "How long til I'm out of this thing?"
I smile at her cursing. Honestly, what do they expect? I run a very fine establishment and not every girl or boy can work for me.
Outside my door is a shored up dirt hallway. The underground level is not unlike an anthill. It started out more order…
I give her an 'I'm waiting' look without a hint of smile. I look over at the clock and watch the minutes go by, savoring my cigarette. As soon as her time is up I kick her off the bed. "You tried, love. Now PISS OFF." I start it with mock sympathy b…
I roll my eyes and sigh. They all want to work for me. Way back when I took pity on one and I lost a very good customer. Never again. Still...
"If you can get me off in five minutes, I'll consider it." I have a clock radio on my vanity. I put my h…
I quickly turn my sneer into a smile and look at her, blowing smoke right at her face. I consider her for a few moments.
"Your technique was a bit sloppy, but your repertoire was refreshing. And so... flexible." I tell her, smirking. "Unfortunately…
I am the very definition of night owl- if the sun is up and I'm awake, I better be making jingle for it.
I push someone's arm off me- I seem to remember a woman last night... oh, and another man. I grin. That was fun. The man seems to have gone, bu…
Oh, fuck. How the hell am I supposed to introduce myself to these people? I can't just say that I was trained at medical school on the moon a hundred years ago.
"Yep. I'm Stitch. I'm a doctor. I spent some time working at Kim's clinic in Boomtown. …
I'm cursing this damn chair. I don't like being stuck in it and I don't like Nezzy having to make concessions for me because of it. I don't understand why she wants me on this damn council, anyway. I just want to do my work, not waste time in meetin…
"I'm going to dilate your cervix. I'll give you a series of pills, but it will take several hours. Then I'll use an instrument to remove the fetus via suction. This procedure has a very low rate of infection." I put my hand on her shoulder. "It will…
I'm not an OB/GYN, but I've done my fair share of that kind of work at Kim's clinic. I make sure to keep the monitor out of Zero and Kiddo's sight. The baby is a girl. I determine it's age and shut the machine off.
"You are too far along for the pi…
"Ok, let's go to the exam room. We'll see how you're doing and then we can cover options and I can answer your questions." I have Kiddo open the door and lead her to the exam room that has the ultrasound machine.
"If you're not too far along, I have a pill. There are side effects, but it's not as invasive as the other option- surgery." I give Zero the run down on side effects for both options and tell her I should examine her today, but it can be later if sh…
"Oh. Of course." I finish up what I'm doing. "Let's talk in the office." I say and I wheel over in that direction.
Assuming they follow, I ask Kiddo to shut the door behind her. Stupid wheelchair.
"I would need to examine you to see how far along …
I'm in the pharmacy, checking on the stock of medicine we've got. I'm stuck in a damn wheelchair, but it's better than a hospital bed.
"Of course." I reply.
I open my eyes to find Metro next to me. "Hi." I say, my throat hoarse. I can feel soreness, pain, but it's far off. They must have me on meds. I wonder how long I've been out.

I've been trying to avoid Nezzy, which is tough to do when I'm stuck…
I hit the back of the lift and hang there for the longest moment of my life. The vest helped my upper back, but I can tell the backs of my legs are badly burned. I fall backwards but somehow end up on my side, half in-half out of the lift. I'm seein…
