Tick... Tick... Tick...
These fellows don't belong to me. But I promise when I'm done to pick um up, dust um off and with a kiss on the cheek see them safely home.
This is a short dialoge regarding an emergency at the station. It's just for fun. I hope you enjoy.
Tick...tick...tick...
"Johnny hand me the alcohol," Roy asked.
"Is that gonna help?" Chet was concerned.
"Just give me the alcohol, ok?"
"But Roy, are you sure that's what you want to do?" Johnny's voice was full of worry.
"Look Junior, you want to do this?"
Johnny backed off immediately, "Oh no partner, not me."
Tick...tick...tick...
"Scalpel."
Chet gasped, "Man Roy no, don't do it."
"It has to be done Chet, I'm sorry."
Chet hung his head low, "Ok Roy, whatever you say."
Tick...tick...tick...
"Dang it!" Roy exclaimed.
"What? What Roy?" Mike just didn't know if he could take it anymore.
Roy knew he had to stay focused on his task.
"Do you want me to call in some back up?" Mike asked.
"Who? Mike? There's no one to call in."
Tick...tick...tick...
"Be careful Roy...easy...easy..." Marco chimed in, whispering prayers.
Roy made a heavy sigh, "I can't see...can everyone back up and give me some light?"
Everyone took one step back.
"Roy can you do this?" Johnny was breathing down's Roy's neck.
"Will you get off my neck, your gonna scare him and ME."
"Ok, ok..." Geeze, just trying to help.
Tick...tick...tick...
"Careful with that knife Roy, you're making me nervous." Hank put his hands in his pockets and started to pace the floor.
"He's gonna cut it off, I just know it." Chet was beginning to sweat.
"Give me those tweezers again."
Roy could feel his heart pounding inside his chest.
"I think we should call for help," Hank was about to bust.
"No Cap, I can do this."
Tick...tick...tick...
"Almost..." Roy was so close now.
"Well?" Hank was getting anxious now. This was taking way too long.
"Almost..."
"Hurry Roy," Mike ran his fingers through his hair.
Tick...tick...tick...
"Roy?" " Partner?"
Roy turned around sharply, "Look, I'm doing the best I can, back off!"
Everyone took a step back, at least for a second, and then moved back in.
"Almost..."
Tick...tick...tick...
They stood, holding their breath.
"GOT IT!" ...everyone jumped out of their skin.
Roy turned around to find Marco, Chet, Hank, Mike and of course Johnny breathing down his neck. He held up the pair of tweezers, holding a tick.
Everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Henry rolled his head over backwards, looking at his family, perfectly content.
Man, these guys need a hobby.
