Everybody Lies [Red]

@"Red"

"Sorry Kiddo. That present taste on your tongue is what I take. It helps me forget the pain."

She admitted calmly. The drug while overly relaxing left the users mind very clear. It made the user feel as if there was no care in the world and relaxation was reached. Perfectly reached.

"Lochlann. How long have you been using drugs? The test results here show that you have been abusing for nearly a year now. Do you have any idea what this can do to your body?"

standing once more she unhooked his wrists from the cuffs. With a step towards him she slipped her hands under the covers and under his gown. The comforting heat of her hands being place on the center of his chest while the other was placed on his lower stomach , right above his member.

"I'm going to do that one test down. It will take a few minutes. Don't worry about the medicine I gave you.. It will burn out of your system a little as I do it."

It was another reason why she was dosing so many times. Her power burned it out of her system a bit faster and her metabolism made it hard her to stay out of pain. After a moment a glow in her chest sparked and rapidly spread from her skin and into his.

His body warmed significantly as the touch felt more intimate, more inviting. He could feel the warmth of her touch and the warmth of a power swirling through him touching him in places that he couldn't even tattoo.

However, she was correct when she said that would help burn the chemical from his system. It wasn't fully out, but there was a great deal of added clarity.

@"Red"

"Well to put it simply. I have something that you hear about it cheesy novels about ninjas called Ki. What I am doing right now is spilling my Ki, which is technically an extension of my soul into you. Pretty intimate huh?"

She chuckled a bit as she continued to let her warming Ki flow into his body and search out everything about him physically the longer that they stayed connected the more she learned.

"Its cheaper than the other scans we have and its a lot safer too. But, that's why I get paid big bucks and as long as I'm in working condition when I'm here. The bossman doesn't care what I do. And no.. Not more than a hug could hurt."

Loch could see her frown as she moved her hand up to where his liver was and left it there for a long moment.

"Loch. I hate to say this.. But your liver is starting to fail. I can feel the damage.. Its... Hm... Loch. If you decided to stop doing drugs completely come back here and ask for me. If I'm still around I will help you."

Then she moved down his body to touch his leg where the bullet wound was. Her other hand was busily undoing the cuffs around his ankles.

"This bullet here needs to come out. Before it does further damage. You're lucky you haven't gotten heavy metal poisoning. Or gangrene."

@"Red"

"It is a lot easier, however I get tired and hungry very easily. So I guess its about the same thing." Though she smiled at his comment on seeing medicine and magic becoming one for the betterment of humanity. "I am a dividing line between magic and medicine. Plus, I am a universal donor for blood and organs. Which means. With enough time I can grow an organ to replace a bad one.. Just as long as it isn't my heart or brain."

At lochs comment of 'it cant be that bad.' She shook her head and made him look her in the eyes. Her eyes looked glassed over.. "If your liver fails you will die. No magic wand to bring you back. I'm pretty magical as a phoenix. But, I cant perform that large scale of miracles."

Nodding quietly at his thanks she tensed at him asking about what she gave him and sighed a little bit. A shake of her head.

"You will not find it anywhere else. I am the only person with it. Its.. Eh.. Specifically formulated for me."

She refused to look him in the eyes as she continued to run her fingers over his body. The last of the drug she had given him to calm down and wake up burnt out of his body as she let out a quiet sigh.

"That's everything. I want you to find me once every two weeks. either here at my personal address. I want to do a check up on you and make sure that you're not getting worse. Understand me?"

Reaching into her pocket she wrote down her address and her cellphone number before putting it in the pant pocket of his jeans as she grabbed his clipboard and signed it.

"Everything about you has checked out. The drugs are out of your system and except for the stress of being in here.. You are fine. I will tell the nurse to give you the rest of your things and release you. See you around kiddo."

She looked at him sadly as her hand went to her ring finger. She was married? But she looked so young. With a shake of her head she turned to walk out of the door.

@"Red"

She was in her own little word after she signed his papers and told him to go.. She was staring at her ring and her expression filled with pain. Pure and unaltered. She lost whomever gave her that ring. Her body began shaking the longer she looked at her hand.

It was as if staring at it killed her buzz more than tending to him did. It was as if she was incapable of moving on. Or moving from the sight of the ring. After a moment, without even realizing it she dipped her hand into her own pocket and pulled out the bottle and poured four tablets into her hand She then put them back in shaking her head.

With a deep breath she looked up to Lochlann and finally found the words she needed to answer him with. "Lochlann. Drug abuse. Drug abuse is wants caused your liver to start failing. If you keep on the road you are on.. You will die."
