The Zombie RPG - IC Season Thread

I think I'm breaking some kind of speed record as I develop the x-rays. "How's it coming?" Kincaid says from the other side of the door.

"Faster than I expected," I say, wiping sweat from my forehead.

"Are you serious? You've been in there forever."

I check my watch. "It's been 10 minutes. Normally you'd be lucky to get these in under an hour."

I work for a while longer and wonder how much it's driving Kincaid crazy. I still can't get over what he's done. Hell, I still want to call him Spenser. After what seems to be both the fastest, and longest, few minutes of my life, I finally get the x-rays finished.

"Done," I shout to Kincaid. He walks in as I put the films under the lights.

"Well?"

I study the images for a few seconds. "He's lucky. No broken bones, major organs look healthy. I thought for sure he had ruptured his spleen."

"So what do you think it is?"

I point to a blob. "He's bleeding internally. I'll have to go in and stop it."

Kincaid sighs. "How long will that take?"

"By myself, couple of hours." I look at him. "But if I had help..."

"...sonuv*****."

I smile. "Let's get back and get Jacob ready."
