“Does it matter?” Milo asks.
She sighs out loud and waves her hand around. “Put him on the bed.”
We do as she asks, dragging him all the way to the bed.
“Turn him over,” she says, grabbing her supplies.
He groans from the pain as we flip him over. “Fuck.”
“You want my help? No swearing,” the old lady grumbles.
He groans again. “A little hard when you’ve been shot in the back.”
“Is he going to be okay?” Milo asks.
“Let me check,” she says, rolling his way on her little chair.
She grabs her tools and starts digging into his wound. He roars from agony.
“That’s a bullet,” she says, and she eyes us both suspiciously. “Yours?”
I shake my head. “We’ve made enemies.”
“So it seems.” She narrows her eyes.
“Can you take it out?” Milo asks.
“I’ll try,” she replies, grabbing a syringe.
She shoves it into his side, and he hisses from the pain. “Jesus, did you have to get a needle that big?”
“Stop whining, boy,” she says. “It’s a sedative.”
“Oh …” Nathan sighs, and Milo hides a little bit of laughter.
“It’ll still hurt a little, though,” the nurse says as she digs into his back.
Suddenly, the door bursts open, and Lana storms in, completely covered in blood. “Is he alive?”
The nurse looks up, her tool still stuck in Nathan’s back, and her eyes widen in shock at the sight of all that blood. “Oh my God.”
“It’s not mine,” Lana says swiftly, laughing it off.
“What happened to you?”
“Good question,” she says, grasping a few paper towels to wipe herself off, but it’s no use. “I’m fine. I just want to know if Nathan’s okay?”
“Working on it,” Nathan groans back.
She immediately walks to him and grabs his hand. “I was worried.”
“Worried? About me?” he retorts, coughing, then cringing from the pain. “I’ll be fine. It’s just a flesh wound.”
I laugh. “You’re only saying that because she’s here.”
“Shut up,” Nathan retorts.
The nurse plucks out the bullet, and he grunts in pain again, gripping the bedding with his free hand. “Goddammit.”
