Day 146, Saturday, October 25th
Sundown, The doctors' offices
Sundown brings a bite to the night air. I am still warm from my recent visit to the farm. I laugh at my own ritual of placing the sign out front the office. The sandwich board seems a better indicator of my presence than any kind of regular office hours. My routine lasts only as long as my amusement.
My dear colleague has been around more often of late. I have not asked of course, his evident annoyance at my good cheer is pleasure enough. What I have not let him see is my own annoyance. I am about to burn the damn paperwork rather than deal with it any longer. Actually staying in one place and treating patients means ridiculous notes. The alternative of actually committing their little problems to memory is worse of course.
As if to mock me, a stack of papers falls to the floor in front of the desk. "¡Maldito sea!" At first I think the sharp crack is my back as I bend to pick up the papers. But that familiar scent of sexy musk and gunpowder have me look up to see a bullethole smoking in the wall above my desk. About chest height had someone, someone like myself perhaps, been standing in its way. Looking over my shoulder, I raise my hands and grin, "Hola, mi amor."

My face goes blank at the light in my love's eyes. As she turns to the doctor, I do as well and nod in acceptance. I shall find a way to pay this one back, more than petty teasing on his latin lover Tez. What was the Matriarch saying in her guise of innocence? Something about not one, but two females of his?
"May as well keep the business in the family, don't you agree?" I'm left with caramel eyes waiting to flay me alive. I could handle her when she could not stab me to death in a fit of pique. The question is, can I do so when she truly can kill me? "Yes, of course. The shock, of delight, in seeing you flew the thought from my head." Leaning forward, I wrap my arms around her and kiss her cheeks in welcome. At least I can keep an eye on her here, though it may be safer to burn the paperwork rather than let her file it.

I beam at her and watch her eyes train back on Lokan. Buddy, if you have any self preservation, you'll agree to this. Granted, she may be a wild card, but damn! If it won't be a ball to watch. Glass and I can make popcorn.....
"Yes, of course. The shock, of delight, in seeing you flew the thought from my head."
Maybe a bit late for the save, but at least he recovers my hugging her. "Well, that was easily settled." I say lightly, setting down the syringe on the exam table behind me. "Shall I leave you two alone to catch up? I really don;t want to interrupt your reunion."
After all, my work here is done.
