Chapter Twelve

Atticus had already made three phone calls by the time he and Jasper made it to the maternity ward. From what Jasper could gather from the one-sided conversations, his cryptic friend had arranged for someone to come collect Jasper's phone from the hospital, sent a surveillance team to Virginia, and set his tech team on Dominic like a pack of well-trained dogs.

Jasper was seriously impressed.

"There's an opening on the team, if you're interested." Atticus told him nonchalantly as they passed through the doors into the ward. He'd turned his phone onto silent and shoved it in his pocket, so his full attention was back on Jasper. "I know the EMT gig wasn't the right path for you, but you have an aptitude for learning. Send you on some courses, get you trained up and in the field. You'd be an asset."

Snorting, Jasper shook his head. "I've had enough training to last me a fucking lifetime, Att. I wanted to help people instead of...otherwise," he said quietly, taking note of where they were. "If you wanted me to fight, to do wet work, the old me would have been perfect for you. What I do now is enough for me. It brings in a decent wage, makes me happy."

"Bullshit. You're not happy with your life. It's had a serious upgrade with little bit dropping into your lap, but the rest of it? No. I saw you with Bodie that night, J. Out of the three of us, you were the one who rose above the shock and got the job done. Hell, I'll admit that what was in that room took me out at the knees. In the end, you saved Boadicea. You prevented her from losing her feet. Medicine is your gift."

It couldn't be. No one could cause pain like he could, take pleasure from it, and then go forth and heal people. Sadism and medicine didn't skip merrily along, hand in hand. "Atticus—"

"I get what you're doing with the landscaping work. Like everything you turn your hand to, you do a damn good job. Yeah, I know about that; it shouldn't come as a surprise. I'm good at finding out what people don't want known. Don't see why you're embarrassed about it, personally, but that's your shit to deal with." Atticus smiled at a nurse as they walked by. "Working with your hands is honest. Gets you back in touch with the earth, with your roots. Physical enough to beat the demons you can't flog out of some sub's ass, right? I can give you more."

Okay, the big lummox was piquing his interest. "Fine, enlighten me. What would this position entail?"

"I need a medic to go on missions with me and the team. We don't often get injured, but the times we do, it's a waiting game for treatment. Getting back to transpo, sourcing a local clinic or even trying to patch things up ourselves until we get home. My men deserve on-site treatment, and they deserve the goddamn best.
