“Do you…are you…agynecologistto the women in the swamp?” The three second span of silence brought her, “Oh God you are.”
“I do everything, Tegan, yes. Andwhyare you asking that?”
“Oh, I bet you can guess.”
“Actually, I can’t. Where are you?”
“Hiding in the apartment, away from Sarah, Geraldine and Martha. Ring any bells?”
“What the fuck are they all doing there?”
“That’s a good question,” she muttered. “Besides telling me how gentle you are when you finger them, they’re mocking my accent.”
“Fuck,” he muttered. “Stay put, I’m calling Sarah.”
“Donotfucking call her!” she shrilled, panicking. “Do not!”
“Fine, I’ll wait till I talk to you. I’m a doctor Tegan, it’s what I do, but it’s nothing like what they make it sound like, that’s for damn sure. It’s the one part of the job I detest doing.”
“How thehellare there no women for that! You can be soverysure you will not be ever doing that again.”
“There are nurses who do it, but so do I when I need to. Tegan, I see vaginas all the time, I deliver babies, it’s a job.”
“Well, it ain’t no jobyou’llbe having!”
“So, you’re a vagina doctor too?” Tegan heard Tater ask.
“Do not tell him it’s me!”
“Uhhh.”
Shit, he already said her name. “Dammit!”
“We’ll figure it out when I get there,” Patches said.
She hung up, back to pacing and fuming. She stormed to the door and opened it, heading back up the stairs.
“Well, if it ain’t Juliette, the gawjus Bayou Bishop.”
Juliette was there?
“Hey ladies, what you all up to like that? Hey Miss Sarah, Patches around?”
“No, he had an errand, how can I help you?”
“What about Tegan, she around?”
“She’s inside,” Sarah said.
Tegan waited, then took off toward the door, not about to hide from anybody. “Hey Juliette,” she greeted.
“Just the little lady I wanted to see,” she said. “How’d all that bat stuff work out?”
“Went perfect,” Tegan said.
“And I heard you were with Patches when that Viking circus happened? I wanna know everything!” She walked toward the other side of the porch and Tegan kept up. “You know I’m stillshockedto learn they’re even for real and not a legend. I thought that’s what they were all these years, I mean I heard about them when I was like seven.”
“I was pretty shocked too,” Tegan said, sitting in the chair next to her. “Never heard of Cajun Vikings.”
