AFTER THIRTY DAYS– by YANNIK.

ChapterFive – THE DOC.

>>

"Name the nature…" Oh, that was Paris again. Was it another day already? "When will you do something about it!" Doc yelled at his assistant. If he wasn't working on medical issues, he could take a look at that stubborn, annoying programming.

"Mhm" was the answer Doc received. It made him look around and stare at usually so talkative Lieu… ehm, Ensign.

"You look pale" Doc's programming kicked in again.

"I didn't sleep well"

"Do you need anything? Let me…" Doc took the tricoder, and pointed it at Paris.

"I don't need that, thank you!" Ensign pushed Doc's hand away. "I'm fine."

But Doctor managed to catch some of the data.

"Yeah. From what I read here, your level of melatonine is… less than zero!" he smiled at the joke he managed, but Paris stared at him not amused at all.

"That's supposed to be funny?"

"Well, isn't it?" Doc was surprised that Tom – such a laughable person – didn't get it. So he started explaining. "No blood work level could be less than…"

"I know, thank you" Paris interrupted. "I didn't sleep well, so my levels of whatever can be on a low side. Is there anything else, or may I go back to work?"

"Phhh…" Doctor suddenly had no answer.

"Thank you."

"Your level of adrenaline is high though" he mumbled, knowing, he shouldn't leave it like that. "Not that the reading is sufficient, since you interrupted the test, but…"

"Let me work!" Paris yelled now. Yes his adrenaline level check was not wrong then. But if he was that stubborn, than… Let him have it.

"Alright. Computer deactivate EMH."
