Business is business

That might be it. Early meetings are never a start to a good day, unless they end up on a positive note.

Exactly. Well, here's hoping this one does. I could use it.

Obviously. 

I can see them now, already huddling around and conspiring about taking me away from the warmth of my bed.

Seven? Ugh, that sounds like a nightmare.

I'm pretty sure the secretary that scheduled it in is trying to send me to an early grave.

Clearly people that want to piss you off.

Clearly. They're obviously against me.

We’ll see. Well then, if it’s alright with you, I will head over. Might take me a little while, going to at least change so I look somewhat presentable.

Perfectly fine, take your time and bring whatever you need - I've been working from home today so I'll be here when you get here.

What can I say? I let an emotion or two seep in there. Not a mistake I’ll make again. Best leave it a few days then, him seeing me like this won’t help, I look a mess and the medic hasn’t been around to stitch me up yet. Unless you still have some supplies there? Might need a splint for my hand.

No, no...you just need to learn to let the right ones in. You're only a child, Jeremy...it takes a while. I've still got some things here, I'm sure we could get you cleaned up in no time - I'm not a doctor but...I'm a father of a boy was was all too fond of climbing on things and standing in high places. I've splinted an appendage or two in my time.

More rude ones that nice ones, I assure you. I’m just being petty because I trusted that shit though. Was ‘seeing’ him, technically. I think that’s what the ‘young people’ call it these days.  …. I was, but I’ve been in my own house since yesterday. Didn’t fancy getting blood on Legos things. You’ve had enough of that. I can though, if it would make you feel better.

You're too young to be getting involved with such stuff, especially 'involved' like that. Oh he can man up, I've had twenty years of him getting blood on my things so I'm sure he owes me here or there. It would...I'd rather not have to deal with Legolas getting upset because someone beat his best friend to death. It makes it easier to keep an eye on you both too.

Some prick from some mafia and his hard ass friend.

Then go to bed.

I tried. Couldn't sleep so I got up to finish these stupid reports....

Never Again...

....Are you alright?
