The aftereffects of drugs

"Next time we leave that fool at the hospital 'till he's right in his mind."

"Now BA, you know we can't hang around the hospital for long. Besides you know how he get's when he's injected with those kind of drugs and there was no way around it, they had to perform surgery on him after all. He's injured; you should be a tad more understanding."

"Injured or not, next time he gets like this I ain't the one carrying him round."

"Calm down BA, he helps carrying you around all the time."

"Yeah, after he helps you drug me. If you want me to let up on him you better don't get me started on this."

"BA, look…"

Face was hearing voices from far away that slowly drifted closer to him. As he came closer to awareness the memories came back to him; how he fell down the stairs and how they told him his arm needed to be set in surgery. He was still feeling as if he was floating and there was this strange happiness, as if he had no care in the world. He could now identify the voices as one angry BA and a soothing Hannibal.

"Hi there Faceman, you're finally up. Thought you would miss bugs bunny too, it's up in a few minutes. How are you feeling."

"Hi Murdock, I'm floating that's far better than using a plane, you should try it. What's BA grumbling about?"

Murdock had a silly grin on his face "Oh nothing much, Hannibal is only trying to talk him out of killing you once you are conscious."

" Me? Naah, come on, why would BA want to do something like this."

"You remember anything of what happened after your surgery?

"No. Wait, yes, I do. There was this really cute little nurse, great curves, short black hair…."

"Uh oh."

"What's uh oh? You saw her; a real stunner."

"You might have had a tiny little hallucination caused by the drugs."

"No, I was coping well with the drugs this time. She was real, trust me, I know when I feel a real woman under my hands."

"If that's the case I may better not ask you for advice with the girls again."

"Why? Oh that, it was frustrating but will wear of, it's just the drugs. I swear I used all my seduction skills but she wouldn't have any of it. She was strong, even carried me around which was kind of embarrassing and I don't know why because we ended up at the bed again, but anytime I tried she just kept pushing me away and onto the bed, telling me to sleep. But don't you worry, the Faceman skills will be back in no time."

"Oh I'm sure of that you bid ol' charmer you."

"See, no worries, and no hallucinations. I'll try to track her down at the hospital after I'm healed and take her out for dinner."

"Ehm…you better forget about that. Uhh….actually…do you recall what that nurse looked like exactly?"

"Sure, short, nice curves, lot of muscles, short black hair….."

"You got the muscles and the short black hair right, buddy."

"Murdock, why are you still wearing this smug grin? It's unnerving."

"Actually, there was a cute little nurse. That was the one that gave you the extra shot so you would not be in any discomfort since we took you out of the hospital at the first signs of waking up after surgery. The extra shot that made you high like a kite."

"Murdock, what is it you're trying to tell me, I wasn't high."

"If you weren't I would be worried. What I'm trying to tell you, muchacho, is….that you might ….just a little bit….have hit on BA all day long. You mistook him with the nurse that you saw last before your extra shot."

"I what? ... Oh no, that's surely the end of me."

"Take it easy Face. I'm sure Hannibal can calm him enough so he wouldn't kill you."

"Huh? Oh BA, no he would never hurt me. What gets me worried is my little black book. Murdock, half of the names in there are nurses."

"And so?"

"And so? How can I ever again date a nurse? I'll get a mental image of BA at the worst possible times. That's just my end."
