I’ve been at RangeMan Trenton for 2.5 years and I can honestly say that the core team doesn’t usually pull surprises on the rest of us unless Bombshell is involved. So to get a call at 0115 to report to Tank’s apartment had me assuming Bombshell was in trouble. I was there in 15 minutes with full gear and my sniper rifle.
You never know.
There are a lot of places in the world I would rather be right now than in the ‘Burg for a Plum Family Dinner. Tajikistan is nice this time of year and I hear Belize….no, not Belize. Maybe Somalia. Yeah, the pirates aren’t that bad. Unfortunately, since I am the authority on all things medical, I’m forced to endure a Plum family dinner with Bomber and Tank. I was doing so well. Four years of knowing Bomber and this is the first one I’ve been forced to attend. That’s not to say I haven’t heard about them. Oh god, have I heard about them, but this is the first time I’ll experience it for myself.
A/N: And now for a comedic break!

OWWW! The pain in my leg is so bad it wakes me out of a dead sleep. Actually, everything hurts but the leg hurts most. I look down and there’s a cast on my leg. What the hell? Where did this come from? I notice a Dixie cup, a bottle of water, and a note on the bedside table. Bobby’s handwriting.
Steph,
TRY NOT TO MOVE AROUND!
You have a hairline fracture of the tibia and moving around is only going to make it worse, so try to move as little as possible. If you can hobble to the fridge to eat the pizza Morelli promised to leave, have a few slices, then take 2 of the long white pills and 1 (and ONLY 1) of the round white pills and get back into bed. If it hurts too much to stand, call me. If you wake up in pain, you can take that same dosage every 8 hours. Do not mix it with other medication (birth control excluded) and absolutely no alcohol.
I’ll see you in the morning.

I pull up to the scene of the latest Bombshell near miss (or should that be near hit?) and sit quietly in the truck for a moment processing the scene. Bombshell is in the middle of a shouting match with the Cop, tears running down her cheeks, blood everywhere, left leg looking….odd. Trenton PD is doing the DtD (door-to-door) for witnesses, Trenton FD is putting the fire out, and the EMTs are trying to convince Bombshell to allow them to treat her.
I snort. Typical. Continue reading
