I own nothing.


As Wade left the stifling heat of the Rammer Jammer to take out the garbage, he was met by the oppressive heat from the Alabama heat wave. For about the third time in the past hour or so, Wade wished that the heat wave was over. Usually he didn't mind the heat waves- everyone became more interesting and having a free pass is always a plus. But it seemed that he couldn't get a certain New York doctor out of his head and with the heat wave, that could be a very bad thing.

With a sigh, Wade started to drag the trash across the parking lot towards the dumpster. There was stillness in the air, which Wade knew it would break the heat wave. Which means the free pass would be over and as far as he knew, Zoe had not used hers. This left Wade with mix feelings. On the one hand, he's glad that she stuck with her morals and hasn't done anything "irresponsible". On the other hand, he really wished that she would use the pass on him. He dropped hints at breakfast and he thought she was going to kiss him. Instead, he got a pitcher of ice water dumped on his head. One thing for sure, Zoe had a fiery spirit.

By this time, Wade had made it to the dumpster and tossed the garbage over the fence. If he had been more focus on the task at hand and less focus on Zoe, he would have remember the fence had a little piece of metal sticking out. But he wasn't paying attention and next thing he knew, he had a gash on his chest.

"Well, that's just great." He mumbled as he looked at the damaged. It wasn't very deep, but it looked pretty wide. Wade pulled a handkerchief out of his back pocket and pressed it against the wound. He went back into the Rammer Jammer. "Hey, boss! I think I need to go see the Doc!"

"Why?" His boss asked from the kitchen.

"The fence took me by surprise." Wade replied, moving the handkerchief to show the wound.

His boss grunted. "Go, but don't spend too long there."

Wade didn't reply, just left the bar. He was going to see Zoe's work first hand and he was looking forward to it.


As Wade opened the door, he saw the office was mainly empty, besides Zoe and Shelley. They were talking and Wade only caught the end of what Shelley was saying "…feels good to be bad. Don't you think?"

"We're close, Wade." Zoe called out as she saw him walk down the hallway. She turned her attention back to Shelley. "Here's the acetaminophen, it's the best I can do."

By this time, Wade had joined them. "Hey look, I'm sorry to barge in on after hours, Doc, but uh, I was taking out the trash out at the Rammer Jammer, and the fence kind of jumped out and got me." Wade explained as he lowered the handkerchief to show the doc what she was dealing with. "You think it needs stitches?"

"I have to clean it up to see. Why don't you go sit down in there and I'll take a look."

"Alright." Wade replied. As he walked into the next room, he flashed what he hoped to be a charming smile. Before he closed the door, he heard Shelley speak up.

"You should totally hit that."

Wade couldn't help but smile as he took his shirts off and sat down on the examining table. There might just be hope for him and Zoe yet.


My take on what happened when Wade cut himself in the episode "In Havoc & In Heat". I might continue it, might not. Depends on my inspiration.

Hope you all enjoy it. Feel free to leave a review and happy reading!
