The orderlies finally managed to get Dawson to suck on the very large, very chocolatey milkshake they brought, and the next time he came to, Angie was beside him, stroking the beard that had grown in the eight hours since last he shaved.

“What the hell happened?” she asked when he looked like his brain was ready to process something. “They took x-rays, patched you up, and the doctor set you up with a bunch of bandages and—no! Stop! Lay down, jackass!”

Dawson groaned heavily and clutched his bandaged side. “That... hurts.”

“You have eight broken ribs and a gash the size of my arm down your side. What the hell happened? The cops that went to Tenner’s told me the whole place was a giant mess, you apparently saved a bunch of people’s lives when some guy went nuts and started chopping at you. You... shifted? And shook him around by the neck?”

Dawson lifted his right arm, and let out a yelp of pain, then switched to the other to rub his head. “How much morphine did they pump into me?”

Angie shot a glance at the drip mechanism. “Well,” she said, doing math in her head and chewing on her lip. “A lot. You were, uh, not very happy with the orderlies and then you got really pissed off about mashed potatoes and Jell-O they were trying to feed you.”

“You can’t blame me,” he said. “I hate gooshy food. I’d rather eat a tin can out of a garbage can than mooshed up beans or potatoes or,” and then he shivered, “Jell-O. What flavor was it?”

“Green. Er, lime, I guess.”

“Green’s more accurate,” Hibby had come in at some point in the past few moments, and had another needle in her hand. “Sorry about this sweetie, but we’ve got to make sure you ain’t gonna end up gangrenous and rotten. That wouldn’t be a good look. And before you ask, we can’t just do it in the IV. Bears have curious veins. For the sake of keeping your lunch down, I’ll stop there.”

“I dunno, green would look pretty good with that gown, I think,” Angie said, considering it. “Although it ends up more black than anything else, right?”

“Necrosis?” Hibby asked. “Yeah, black and generally with a lot of pus. But, you know, even if it gets that far we can generally get rid of the infection. Whatever it’s already gotten to is beyond saving, but what the hell, you know?”

Dawson started gnawing on his straw.

“Can’t have it both ways,” Angie said. “Well, I guess since he’s going to be a big whiny baby about the whole thing, we just have to hope he doesn’t catch anything from being cut open with that dirty bar glass.”

“Tenner washes them a lot,” Dawson said, although obviously not with any sort of confidence. “I’ve had a tetanus shot.” His voice began to waver.

Hibby shrugged and put the cap back on her syringe. “Sure, yeah, those will save you from dying. But then again, if you didn’t have
