'What's the situation?' Adam asked.

'No bite marks, from what I can see… Pierced leg… This should be simple' Dr. Freebird said as he examined his patient.

'Alright! I'll be assisting you! Let's do it!'

'Are you sure you're up for this? I mean…'

'Don't worry' Adam smiled. 'This might've been one heck of a first day, but I can do it!'

'Alright then, let's begin…' Hank said and made the incision.

'Wow… Will it be alright to remove that?' Adam noted the piece of metal sticking from the bone.

'It should be alright. If we replace the missing fragment with a synthetic bone, it should heal up nicely…'

'But the sign has pierced through the leg's artery! There will be massive bleeding if we remove it!'

'That's why I need your help, Dr. Bertrand' Hank looked at his assistant. 'As soon as I remove it, I need you to cauterize the wound with the laser. Can you do it?'

'Yeah, sure'

'Alright… Cautiously extracting the metal…' Dr. Freebird said and cut it off. 'I'm going to pull it now, are you standing by with the laser?'

'Yeah,'

'Alright… Now!'

The orthopedist pulled the metal out, and Adam turned on the laser.

'Gah… There's so much blood!'

'Drain it!'

Adam quickly grabbed the drain and sucked out the blood, then cauterized the wound.

'The other end too!' Dr. Freebird noted.

'Where?'

'Right here!'

'DAMN IT!' Adam yelled and cauterized it.

'That was it. Proceeding on'

The young surgeon wiped the sweat off his forehead.

'I… I… I'm sorry, I panicked'

'It's alright. Happens to everyone. No damage was done, so don't worry about it. Prepare the synthetic bone!'

Adam sighed and took the bone out, then handed the laser to Dr. Freebird and watched as he quickly shaped it and inserted it in the hole.

After drilling in and securing the new bone, the surgery was almost over'

'Now, Dr. Bertrand, I need you to help me reconnect the artery we cauterized earlier. You're a brain surgeon, so this should be easy for you, right?'

'Yeah… Yeah, it is. I won't panic…' he said and picked up the scalpel, then made a clear incision and quickly connected the artery back to its original state.

'Very good! Great work, Dr. Bertrand'

'Yeah… Thanks…'

The two surgeons quickly finished up the operation and left. Just outside of the OR, they noticed a familiar face.

'Hank!'

'Maria! What's wro… Oh my God…'

'The bastard got to me! I didn't see him!' Dr. Torres said as she showed the bite mark on her arm.
