Dr. Victor came back with Kerry into the clinic, eyes slightly puffy. As he approached, he patted her hand on his arm, escorting her right up to Sharma's make-shift room. He glanced around, seeing if the patient was ready to talk or still unconscious. The good doctor tapped Thierry on the shoulder, motioning him to move to the kitchen while he left Kerry at Sharma's side. Thierry went with him. He made sure neither Columbo nor Dr. Melange were in the kitchen. Melange took his meaning easily and headed out. Columbo himself was sleeping in the restaurant lounge, part of his labor sharing with Thierry on ReeHeeHee watch."Thierry, how is he doing? He's not struggling too much, was he? No sweats or anything? We might have to get him a urine bottle for now; I really don't want him moving if he can help it. Well, he's so dehydrated he might not need the bottle still for a day yet." Thierry- "He does seem... Very hurt, but in good health otherwise. I'm glad he was not a smoker."
He tried to keep his voice from becoming to clinical and sterile, changing the subject suddenly. "Do you think he would move in with you and Columbo? The space is pretty cramped, no offense. I was thinking about moving out of the swanky apartment upstairs. I know you live in the building, but there's three rooms up there, all very well furnished and even an office that Sharma could have all for himself. He'd be right up there with you and Columbo on the sixth floor..." Thierry- "I've been thinking about it. Some of our fellows are very interested in the social aspect of fitness - seem like they're wanting a gym. Maybe I could make my place more habitable by donating my workout equipment to that purpose."
He let his words trail off, moving to the medicine cabinet to begin his inventory of drugs and logging the small sheet. Okay, way to pull a Bryce move in terms of style. How do you plan to recover from that, Chuck?"Well, I guess I've been spending too much time thinking and not enough time actually doing for this building. I... I see your face as it is now and I can't help but ache for what you're going through. I don't exactly empathize with very many people, but... I just want to make you feel as calm as you make me, you know?" Thierry- Thierry's forehead creased gently in an emotional look. He smiled, damn what doesn't make that guy smile? But these smiles all mean different things. "I'm glad to know I can help you, and I tell you Charlie, that does make me feel better."
He felt his face flush again, stepping up counting the vials at almost blistering speeds. Dr. Victor's voice was a little defeated as he spoke, but married with a kind of compassion which almost made himself blink a few times. "If there's anything I can do for you, please ask... I don't want to be the last person asked for anything just because I'm a doctor... okay?"

Thierry- He relaxed back into a more measured demeanor. "Of course. I'll take one of the bottled waters on my way out. Should I wake Columbo, or is Kerry going to join our rotation?"

Dr. Victor nodded. He turned to face Thierry and closed his eyes. Biting his bottom lip for a brief second he stepped into the man, wrapping his arms around Thierriy's waist. A heavy sigh left the good doctor as he leaned his head up to plant a gentle kiss on Thierry's lips. That moustache... It still felt weird; there was no way to deny that. He separated himself from the soccer player after a few moments. "Kerry is here to help Sharma get through this on an emotional level. She has quite a power to calm people down. I'm not sure if there is a need for her to do much more than that. I can have Kerry wake Columbo when she is finished. Do... Do you want to go talk? Or do you need some alone time to clear your head. Your day is free. I can sit with him tonight as well if needed so the pair of you could sleep in something more comfortable." Thierry- "Sleep. I will go to sleep, and soon. And for a long time. But first, I must do something." Now Thierry pulled the doctor close, kissing him more ardently, holding his back with strong, firm hands.

Thierry let his body conform to Charlie's, rubbed his back muscles sensuously, and continued the kiss.

Dr. Victor let his tongue dance, giggling at the way Thierry's moustache tickled his lip in between kisses. He moved his hand to the back of Thierry's skull, sliding downwards to rub his neck and pull him closer still. The good doctor braced himself against the cabinetry with his free hand. One by one, a piece of that stone heart caved outwards. Something gave him pause, and he broke the kiss, eyes wide. "Thierry... you're tired... I... Yeah... Thank you." He stole kisses in between phrases. "We can always finish this conversation after you sleep... if you want to... upstairs... tonight?" His finger idly traced shapes against Thierry's back, smiling, really smiling, with no malice, hidden agenda, or even hint of sarcasm. His face hurt.

Thierry- "Certainly. Let's make sure Columbo has some Sisyphean ordeal to occupy his time then. "

"Or, I can show you the space upstairs, right? Micah has the living room, but the bedroom has a nice area and soft bed... and thick walls." Dr. Victor blushed again for what felt like the hundredth time in the man's presence. Thierry- "What can I say to that? I'll be in my room or the community center when you like."
"You might want to bring a pillow because the exhibition may take a while and I don't share pillows well... really great Egyptian cotton sheets, though." Thierry- " "
He stole one more lingering kiss from the man, pondering what it would be like without the moustache, and proceeded to tend back to the clinic duties and other things. His eyes drifted over to Thierry every now and again, smiling warmly when no one was looking.

Thierry went for his much deserved sleep, and eventually Derek came down to the clinic. Derek- "Dude, it's still crazy to me that I got shot. You never think that sort of thing is gonna happen to you until it does." That was before Seth's retrieval of shotgun from Derek upstairs. He is a big wuss compared to Ashley.

Dr. Victor smiled, nodding at the younger man as he approached. Something actually made him chuckle a bit; the thought of running a clinic at the end of the world versus trying to develop a new monetary system where he'd come out on top. He offered the man a stool in what little privacy was left in the kitchen. The good doctor's rational was Derek could be trusted around the make-shift dispensary since he ran one of his own- albeit one with far more deadly ingredients. "Good to see you moving about, Derek. Yeah, guns are some pretty unrealistic things in the grand scheme of the world. Funny how now they're pretty much useful on the living and hardly a deterrent on anything else. Why not have a seat and I'll go ahead and look at your wound." Derek- "OK, doctor."
The doctor helped the man adjust and gave a moderate nod and doctor-esque 'hmm' while administering whatever was needed, fresh gauze, more ointment, drawing salve. "Still doing okay with mobility?" Derek- "I admit, I don't feel comfortable moving it much yet. That shit fuckin' hurts."
"Any additional tenderness, soreness? What about fevers?" He was responding well to medicine and treatment previously administered. It did look like it might be a good idea to use on of the immobilizers from the hospital to keep the area from moving for a little while.The good doctor took all the knowledge in hand. "I'll give you one thing, you're pretty tough. Not many people can handle the kind of pain you can. Here, I'll get you some pain medication. Take it on a full stomach, but not with food, all right?" Derek- "Thanks, man, you're a lifesaver."
Dr. Victor handed Derek four 200mg ibuprofen with a solemn nod. Leaning against the counter, he removed his latex examination gloves with all the crazy finesse of a move doctor or surgeon. "Now, how are things going with you and your roommates? They aren't being too insensitive are they?" Derek- "Man, people don't get it, but fuck it. Guys aren't supposed to be sensitive, are we?"
"Have you decided to help with the patrols at night or day? Who do you rather patrol with through the building?" Derek- "I'm off patrol duties for a bit, but I still do my job with the supplies."
"Have you talked with Jonah about the injury or anything? I think he'd really be able to help you with a lot of things, especially any possible emotional trauma that may be triggered or lingering from being shot. Injury is always the worst reminder of trauma. Kerry's great too, but I think Jonah would be more empathetic to you. Just a suggestion, not an order or anything." Derek- "Thanks, man, but I gotta be a man and take care of my own shit, y'know?" Previous rumors that Derek might be cracking up have not been dispelled in the doctor's mind, but he seems much less agitated in relaxed circumstances than he did, say, at the party the other night, or shortly after being shot.

Volya came down a little later. Volya- "Hey man, how is it going, doctor? Is this Sharble man going to be zombie or what?"

Dr. Victor handed Derek the second immobilizer, nodding as he left. It wasn't that long before Volya came in, still bland per usual. "Oh, hush, Volya. Some people may not appreciate your humor... it was humor, correct?" Volya- "Oh yeah, funny haha. But seriously, Mr. Sharble won't be zombie? That's good."
He moved the Russian man into the same stool that was occupied by Derek before he left. The good doctor helped him roll up his sleeve, turning his face as he glanced at the wound. "Anyways, you should be a little sensitive, Volya. After all, what would you do if everyone thought you were going to turn into a zombie just from a little bite? And Sharma didn't even have a scratch on him." Volya- "Huh. Oh yeah, that would probablies suck."
He pulled on a new pair of gloves, seeking out the scalpel and antibacterial ointment. Performing all he could, he continued the small talk. "How is it going with the ladies, Volya? Any prospects?" Volya- "Maybe I hump somebody already. I don't remember too good, but kinda fun."
"What's going on with your roommate, Hector. He seems like an all right person." Volya- "He helps me out of trouble sometimes."
The doctor cleaned the wound again using some spare saline and dabbing it with a gauze pad. He reached for the tape, reapplying a cover over the wound. "What have you been up to here at 403? Everything going all right for you so far? Heard any gossip?" Volya- "It's 'all wash a dish, move a couch, watch this thing.' Eh... could be worse... Gossips? Nothing much. People are racistic against Ukraine."
Dr. Victor tried to smirk as he finished nodding with a feigned disinterest.

Volya- "Thanks, doctor. It's pretty good." The antibiotics are making all the difference, but he should probably stop drinking and getting into trouble... That's about it.
Not sure when to expect Ashley & fairly sure Marie wouldn't make it down, the doctor went upstairs - and followed Bryce onto the roof during the chaos. From there...?

Dr. Bebe- "Wow. What a lovely bunch of new faces! Who wants to find Dr. Victor for me?"
Davin- "I'll do it. Didn't get much of a workout this morning anyways. Wil, you guys are going to be fine now. I'll be back in a jiff."
Wil- "Thanks, Davin."
Dr. Bebe- "Nurse Columbo, get all the water you can, then help me get them cleaned up."
Columbo- "Right on."
Dr. Bebe- "Everyone who isn't a patient, please stand over by that wall. Now Seth, be a dear and explain the situation?"

Seth- "Well, I think it went something like..." *screen goes all wavy and fade to black*
...
*Fade in from black* Seth- "...So that's the long and short of it."
Dr. Bebe- "That's really interesting. Especially that part in the middle, between the first sentence you said and the last one. I think my life will be forever changed by those words." Everybody got checked out. Colonel Teddy's family was in very poor health, and stayed with Dr. Melange. After some inspection and care, the Cornish kids were cleared to go upstairs with strict instructions to get fed something soft and palatable, and drink lots of water. Some set to work setting up bedrooms for them on the 5th floor, they would stay in the two remaining three bedroom apartments there.
By this point, most of the running crew were out of the clinic. At the end of it all, only Melange, Columbo, Col. Teddy, Wil, Kaya, and Davin remained.
