What Wouldn't I Give

[Nox]

"How dare he...." The doctor handed Nox back his wallet with a frown, "Doesn't he know who I am?"

Nox laughed. "You never introduced yourself to my friend." Dorian wasn't a friend, or was he. Had he been too hard? Nox growled to himself. No. Dorian deserved what he got for that betrayal. No matter his reasons. This wasn't anything but work. Nox told himself that. Told him Dorian hadn't been like a father while he'd stayed with him. Fuck!

The doctor sighed and took out his stethescope. "Let's see how you are doing?" He then looked at the nurse, "Follow his instructions. If the police are involved we don't want anyone getting exposed to whatever this is."

Nox laughed, whatever this is... he was either crazy, on drugs now or he was telling the truth. At least it was just better than being crazy. He thanked god for the small leap of faith the doctor took. "It could be nothing, I hope it's nothing, but until someone who knows looks you could put your people at risk."

Nox could relax with the doctor there, but at least safety was being taken into consideration. That made him feel better as the doctor ran through all the vitals and such.
