Dr Devin O'Connor , 16th of August 2277, time 12:00pm, Audio log # 0115, Patient file VD 0025- Lucy Palmer.
Ms Palmer was brought in to the clinic by security officer Gomez earlier this morning with injuries she claims were a result of tripping over something in the hallway. However after closer examination it's my opinion that the injuries sustained weren't consistant with just ""tripping"" over something but rather they were a result of an assualt, The nature & location of the injuries, the most serious of which was a broken collar bone. were remarkably quite similar to those i sustained the night of my tenth birthday at the hands of Butch & his "gang" - the Tunnel Snakes...appartenly he was still upset about the comment i made about his mother after he tried taking my present... that ironicly enough was given to me by Ms Palmer, who is a kind & gentle woman that wouldn't even hurt a radroach.,which... is what makes this even more appaling. I can't prove it but my gut & personal experience tell me that Butch & the Snakes are to blame for this, I wasn't going to push the issue though she had been through enough. Anyway i used Med-X to eliviate the pain,applied a cold compress to reduce the swelling,& put her arm in a sling - the standard course of treatment for such injuries then walked with her to the cafeteria to get the tea that she likes , says it calms the nerves , grabbed myself a extra large coffee then we sat in a booth and talked. It was the least i could do , her and Jonas are practically family. I ..
.The sound of of something dropping on the floor stops James mid though he looks up to see his father standing in the doorway, eyes beaming, grin a mile wide.
How long have you been standing there?
Long enough son, long enough. So... you really believe that Butch is responsible for this?
Believe it? Yes. Prove it? No . It's... frustrating, i mean i can understand her just wanting to put all of this behind her & not wanting to stir anything up down here but for them to get away with this, the harassment, the intimidation,people living in fear it's just.. not right.
I have to go tell Jonas, but how do i break the news to him, is he still there, wherever the two of were?
No. He said he was going to stop by the cafeteria to get a bite to eat before going back & finishing up a few things.
Hmm... Everything go well? Care to share what you two were working on? ... yes i know you two are up to something, would like to be a part of it, whatever ""it"" is but , you must have your reasons.
James . taken back by the questions & observation stood silent for a few seconds...It did, i'm quite pleased with the results, & in time my son - you'll know i promise.
Devin sitting at their desk with his hand resting on his chin ,. Ok... i'm going to hold you to that.
So you up for poker night with the guys, relieve the stress,break up the monotony, unless of course you're afraid that i'll clean you out again
James let's out a hearty laugh, Beginners luck, i may have taught you everything you know, but i didn't teach you everything. Your old man still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
Oh really, ok then. You bring your "" tricks"" & the scotch, i'll bring everything else. Sound good?
Perfect, I believe I have a bottle in my private reserves for such an occasion. James says pointing to the hidden wall safe in the office..
Devin stands up from the desk and walks over to the door. Right then I better go find Jonas before he ''disappears '' again.
