Six or Ten Sentence Sunday

This is possibly the start of something rolling around in my empty head. I have a few scenes down, but nothing is put together yet.

“Hello Mr. Hawkins, I’m Lt Poldark. It sounds like you’ve gotten yourself into a bit of a mess there. Were you involved with the shelling that some of the civilians caught themselves in?”

Jim’s eyes flashed when the physician introduced himself. “Nice to meet you Lt. Umm no nothing that exciting. I’m afraid no purple heart for me.”

The doctor raised a dark eyebrow at the patient, “Right. What happened?” He could tell the patient really didn’t want to fess up to what happened. “I really need to know for the purpose of charting.”

The patient sighed, “Alright doc.” A midwestern American accent was now evident in the patient. “I’m a pretty bad clutz. I was looking through my lens on a tripod, and this mangy cat came up and kept walking around my legs. I couldn’t get it to leave me alone, so I gave it a little push with my foot and it attacked my leg and the little fucker dug in with it’s claws!!! I was hopping around trying to get rid of it and I tripped on something and fell on some equipment. Luckily I was able to save the camera before it landed on the ground.”

Ross’s eyes got wider as he listened to the story, and was biting on his lower lip trying really hard not to laugh at the patient.

“It’s okay doc, you can laugh at me if you want. I can take it.”

“No, no I’m not going to laugh. I just have to ask if you landed on the cat? For charting purposes of course.”

“No, the damn cat ran off. So, can I have something for pain?”

“First we’re going to get some x-rays. This is an obvious fracture, but we have to see if there are any other fractures. Do you have any allergies?”

“No, no allergies.”

“Good. That type of fracture we can’t just put it back together with a cast. You’re going to have to have surgery on that arm. While you’re getting the pictures done, I’ll call surgery and let them in on what’s going on and see if it’s alright if I can give you some pain medicine. It probably is, but I just want to make sure.” Ross caught himself staring into Jim’s eyes but hopefully the patient didn’t notice.

“Are you from Cornwall, Lieutenant?”

Ross raised his eyebrows in surprise and smiled, “Very good Mr. Hawkins, I’m impressed. I didn’t think I had that much of a Cornish accent anymore.”

Jim gave a side smile, “Eh I’ve been around.”

Ross cleared his throat at that remark, “And your accent… is that from Wisconsin?” Ross was relieved when an orderly came to push his bed to the radiology department. “Here’s your ride Mr. Hawkins.”

Jim offered his hand for a handshake.” Please call me Jim. And it’s Ohio.” Ross caught a twinkle in ’s eyes when they shook hands. Jim yelled ‘O. H. I. OOOO!’ as he left the department, but Ross had no clue why!

Ross smirked at him, “See you when you’re done .”

Ross walked back into the nurse’s station and sat down to start charting. Captain Preston sat down next to him. “He’s a little hottie,” she said with a knowing smirk.

Ross knew she was talking to him, but he wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of biting and kept charting. “Hmmm. Are you talking to me?”

“Well I’m not talking to Prince Wills! Your new patient on bed three! He’s got beautiful eyes!”

“I hadn’t noticed.”

“Like hell you hadn’t noticed Ross! I know you better than that!”

Ross was losing his patience with his friend, “Shhh keep your bloody voice down! I don’t need the entire hospital hearing you!”

“What are you afraid of! People don’t care that you’re gay!”

“Billie stop! Just because you have no problem flaunting your girlfriend around, doesn’t mean that I don’t. I prefer to keep my private life private. So please respect that!”

“Take it fuckin easy Ross! You don’t have to go all barmy on me. I won’t bring it up again.”

“Good. Thank you.”
