Exploring the Damage

[Sage]

Christian reassured his doctor. "I don't think Nox will let him plug in. He has the wireless piece on him. Sage has a habit of trying to steal it. But if he wants to go home I think he'll make promises."

Sage sighed. "If I have to. I'll return to my roots and only type."


Even Christian looked at him like he didn't believe him. And when the doc said he'd be here till he got everything fixed and wasn't going to die he shook his head. "I'm not staying in bed that fucking long. Alone in this crap hole hospital."
He looked at her and frowned, "No offense intended, but I'd rather die in my bed at Dorian's."


He pleaded. "How long do I have to stay to 'recover' from this surgery. Not the whole thing? Doc, I know I'm going to die if I push too much. I know I'll die if I plugin. It's fucking hard, but I know. I don't want to die. But I'll die if I have to lie in this bed for weeks or months."
