Tegan Chronicles

Affairs of Love 7

"Kiser." Tegan picked up the phone in her lab.

"Tegan, its Janet." She didn't need to identify herself, but did anyway.

"Hey, what's up?" Tegan's brow wrinkled, she was used to Janet just dropping in the lab and not calling her.

"I'm a little behind with pre-mission physicals. I'm supposed to do a CPR review and recertification at 1000 hrs, could you cover for me?"

"Review and recert?"

"Yup, basically review what they already know, and then test them on their skill and knowledge. If you let Paige do hers first she can help you make sure everyone else is doing the manual part correctly."

"Sure."

"You don't mind?"

"How hard can it be?"

Janet laughed.

"Who's in the class?" Tegan was starting to second guess helping Janet out.

"Paige, Colonel O'Neill, Sam, Julie, a couple of the other medics. I've got the list posted in the racquetball court."

"We're doing it in the racquetball court?"

"Yeah, the acoustics are great."

"Real great." Tegan rolled her eyes.

"I've got to go, thanks for covering for me."

"Don't mention it." Tegan dropped the phone back in its cradle. What had she gotten herself into.

"Boring!" Jack listened to the echo in the room as it was absorbed by the ten warm bodies standing there.

"Does anyone not know how to perform CPR?"

The shuffling of feet were annoying and Tegan glanced at Paige before kicking the CPR Dummy Annie. "Oh no… I've just come up on Annie and she's laying on the ground what do I do?"

"Well you don't kick her." Jack pointed out as he yawned.

"Look, I want to be here as much as you all do. I could be in my lab studying the life cycle of a protozoa."

"Cause that's oh so much fun."

"Colonel?"

"Sorry." He shrugged.

"Ok, let's start over. I walk around the corner." Tegan pretended to be walking, and suddenly stopped her mouth gapping open. "Oh no! Annie's lying on the ground."

She ran up to the over used dummy and in her best Michael Jackson falsetto started singing, "'Annie are you ok? So, Annie are you ok? Are you ok, Annie; So. Annie are you ok, are you ok Annie?'"

She dropped to her knees and shook the dummy. "'Annie are you ok?'"

"'Will you tell us that you're ok?'" Paige picked up from where she stood.

"'Annie are you ok? Are you ok Annie?'" Tegan checked for her pulse. "At this point if Annie isn't responding she's probably not conscious, so you need to check for a pulse, see if she's breathing, and call for help. I'm sending Major Carter to call for help. If you actually leave this room I'll fail you." Tegan grinned at Sam. "Next you want to turn the head to the side and sweep your finger in to make sure there isn't anything there, before giving two rescue breaths."

"What did you do? Janet asked when Tegan entered the infirmary that afternoon for her permission physical. "Everyone's talking about what a good job you did. I always hate doing the review when Colonel O'Neill is there, and even he's still in a good mood."

Tegan shrugged. "I just reviewed the whole 'Annie are you ok' thing and let them do their testing."

"'You've been hit by a smooth criminal.'" One of the medics who'd been in the review walked by and gave Tegan a thumb's up.

Tegan nodded and looked back at Janet with a shrug. "I guess some guys like playing with dolls?"
