The Center was open and in full swing doing ground breaking work in its area of expertise. They thought it would take a while before anyone would be willing to come forward and start talking about anything but they were wrong. They were booked solid and already helping people. What time Drew and Rick weren't spending at their respective jobs was being spent at the center even Jake was working making the soldiers laugh and smile through their sessions.

Drew was settling in to his new role at the hospital he was still an ER doctor and still had his beloved nightshift but he had a ton more responsibilities now which included taking care of the interns and other residents. He and Kenny were working great together in their jobs also being able to communicate with each other what the nurses needed to do their jobs better and in respect what the doctors needed from the nurses. Hell even the Director had backed off of him lately. He finally felt more like himself again.

He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard a young boy screaming and crying in pain. He went to the exam room. "Hello," he pulled the curtain back, "I'm Dr. Alister." He recognized the man sitting by the bed as Rick's boss Mr. Franks and went to the little boy who Kenny and Holly were trying to calm down. He stepped up in Holly's place and put his hand on the boys shoulder. "What's your name?"

He was still struggling causing himself more pain. "Zach!"

"Zach I'm Drew and this is my friend Kenny. I know you're in a lot of pain right now but the quicker we can look at what's hurt the faster we can help ok? I need you to be really brave for me." Zach nodded his head and Drew carefully unwound the towel that had been wrapped around his arm. There was a deep laceration and you could see the broken radius. "How did you hurt your arm?"

"Fell off my bike."

"What were you trying to do fly?" this was no normal bike crash injury.

"Yes!" he got excited. "My brother does this awesome trick where he jumps on this big ramp and lets go of his bike with his arms and legs then lands! I tried it but I didn't jump high enough and when I let go I hit the bike then the ground."

"Well let's get you to X-ray and then we will talk about what kind of cool colors you want on your cast."

"Cast?" his eyes got big. "I get a cast?"

He and Kenny laughed. "Yeah you definitely get a cast buddy."

Kenny took Zach to x-ray while Drew spoke to Mr. Franks. "I know he broke the radius bone but there are a lot of small bones in the wrist and hand I want to check with x-ray before I definitively tell you what's wrong. I will put a call in to ortho to double check my findings."

"Thank you. Zach thinks his brother is the reason the world revolves and that he can do anything Mark can do."

"He's the older sibling," Drew laughed. "They tend to be perfect in the younger sibling eyes."

He nodded, "Problem is Mark encourages things like this then picks on him when he gets hurt. Kids." Drew could tell that Mr. Franks was exasperated and upset. "I love them both with all my heart and it may be wrong of me to say this but I wish just once that Zach could sit Mark on his ass and prove to himself that he was as good as he is." He looked up at Drew embarrassed. "I'm so sorry just unloaded like that."

"Don't be sorry, I have siblings I understand," he laughed. "Is his brother here?"

"Yes, I made him come in case you needed information on what this trick was or something."

It took about forty-five minutes to get the x-rays and get back to the room. Drew came in and pulled the scans up on the computer. "Ok Zach this is the x ray of your arm buddy. See this?" He pointed to a line on the screen. "That is where the bone in your arm called the radius is fractured. It doesn't require surgery to fix we can just cast it but."

"But?" Mr. Franks asked nervously.

"There is a very small bone here in the center of your wrist called a capitate bone and it's pretty much crushed buddy so we will need to talk to a surgeon about how to fix it." He looked at Mr. Franks, "I have a call in to our best surgeon and he will be down for a consult soon. I am going to have to go ahead and put a pressure wrap on this to hold it stable though ok?"

"Will it hurt?"

"It might be a little uncomfortable for a few seconds while we wrap it but as soon as we are done it will feel better." As if on cue Paul walked in with supplies.

"Hey Zach I'm Paul," he smiled. "I'm going to help Dr. Alister put your cast on."

Drew was as gentle as he could be but he had to manipulate the bone back into place and it was painful. He held the arm stable while Paul wrapped it. "Paul and I were hoping we could get your help with something Zach."

"You want my help?" he was excited.

"Top secret stuff," he looked at him seriously "and you have to follow through or it won't count."

"What is it?"

"A couple of people have been playing tricks on us and we were hoping you would help us get them back really good." Paul had the arm wrapped and secure so he sat it on a pillow on his chest then Drew stepped out of the room and came back with a super soaker. "You remember Dr. Rogosa? We are going to tell him you need something and when he comes in here I want you to shoot him with this and get him good and wet!"

Zach looked at his dad with wide eyes. "Can I?"

He shook his head with a smile, "If that's what the doctor orders, why not?"

Drew stepped into the waiting room. "Mark Franks?" An average teenage skater kid stood. "We need to talk." He led him out of the visitors lounge to the doctor's lounge. "Zach has a broken arm and wrist."

"Great, maybe the runt will stop trying to copy everything I do," he laughed.

"You do know how much he looks up to you right? He copies you because he wants to be like you?"

"Yeah, yeah" he rolled his eyes. "Are a shrink or a doctor?"

Drew laughed a sort of evil little laugh that if anyone who knew him had heard they would have been worried.

"Ahh!" He heard Ragosa yelp and then the sound of sneakers slipping on a wet floor.

Scott knocked on the door and stepped around the wet floor sign into the room. "Mr. Franks?" He shook the father's hand then the sons. "I went over your x-ray and I think as young as you are that we will be fine without surgery. If for some reason something changes I can go in and place a pin through two of the bones to hold things stable but since you are still growing I honestly think we will be fine without it."

"That's wonderful news," Mr. Franks said shaking his hand again.

"Drew said to tell you that he would be by in just a few with the colors to pick for your cast," he told Zach. "There his is," he laughed as Drew and Kenny slid into the room and started fiddling with a bunch of stuff in the cabinet.

When they were done they went over to Zach and started unwrapping his hand. Mark came in and Drew winked a Zach and Kenny nudged his shoulder to watch. "Mark," Drew said, "grab me that box of plaster tape in the cabinet by the door so Zach can pick a color."

He started to say no but his father's glare stopped him. He yanked the cabinet door open and suddenly everything was white and dusty. He coughed and sputtered angrily but Zach was laughing hysterically. Mission accomplished, Drew thought.
