“Mrs. Patty, thank you so much for helping us out,” Tony said as he walked into an exam room at the veterinarian clinic where Zoe was cleaning Alicia’s wound.

Patty grabbed Tony by the arm when he took a step toward Alicia. “You might not want to go where you can see everything. You can kinda see her chin meat. That’s why my husband is waiting outside looking as pale as a ghost. We’re gonna go ahead and go, but if you need anything else just give us a call.”

“Thank you so much,” Tony said with a warm smile. He watched Patty walk out and turned to Alicia and Zoe. “Okay, y’all tell the truth, did y’all get in a fist fight?”

“She got too mouthy and I had to shut her up,” Zoe replied with a smile.

“She’s still kicking my ass because she won’t give me a dog tranquilizer,” Alicia said from between clenched teeth with her eyes clamped shut.

“I know it hurts, but I have to get this wound really clean before I close it. Have you had a tetanus shot lately?” Zoe asked distractedly as she gently scrubbed the gash in Alicia’s chin.

“Needles—I can’t.” Tony backed toward the door.

Alicia opened her eyes as she thought. “I had one a year and a half ago when Tony threw a piece of metal and hit me in the arm. He fainted when the doctor began to stitch me, so he wasn’t around for the shot. Do you have to give me one?”

“I’m not allowed,” Zoe replied as she cleaned dried blood from Alicia’s neck. “I was going to suggest you get one if you hadn’t had one in a while. Why did Tony throw a piece of metal at you? Were y’all fighting?”

“No, we were cleaning junk out of an old boat, and he didn’t realize I was behind him.” Alicia squinted at the light above her. “Can that thing get any brighter?”

Zoe chuckled. “I thought it would soothe you since you have a thing for lamps, even though there’s no lava,” she said and adjusted the light.

“Hey, Mom is kinda going crazy right now, Alicia,” Tony said as he walked into the room staring at the floor. “Mrs. Patty told her Zoe’s doing emergency surgery on you in a vet’s office on a table where she treats animals because your chin meat is hanging out. Dad didn’t tell her you destroyed his boat, and she’s maniac pissed. She kinda calmed down when I told her Zoe was just cleaning a scrape on your chin and it was no big deal, but she keeps calling every two minutes for an update. I just need to know how long this is gonna take in case I need to talk her out of sending an ambulance over here.”

“About fifteen more minutes,” Zoe replied. “I need to take my time and get the closure strips on properly.”

“She’s gonna have to use a six inch needle to—” Alicia grinned. “He ran didn’t he?”

“Yeah,” Zoe replied with a laugh as she took off her gloves and gazed down at Alicia.
