”Mr. Brian Long, the doctor has arrived,” John announced, interrupting his thoughts.

He averted his gaze to conceal the conflicting emotions he was feeling. After several seconds, his expression turned cold and indifferent like it usually was before acknowledging the doctor's arrival.

The doctor moved efficiently. He was all business and in greeting, he said,”Mr. Long, where shall we perform the surgery?”

He removed his bloodstained coat and white shirt, exposing his strong, tanned body. Blood had begun to harden around the small hole where the bullet pierced his shoulder. The area was already swollen and made worse by the blood which was now deep red. It was a ghastly sight.

After inspecting the wound, the doctor frowned deeply. He wondered why Brian did not immediately deal with his injury and took time to summon him. He began taking out supplies and implements from his professional medical kit and started working to treat the wound. As he began to cleanse the wound, he asked,”Do you need anesthesia?”

The doctor grinned secretly and kept quiet. He began to sterilize the scalpel and forceps in preparation for the surgery.

The bullet clanged loudly as it landed on a surgical tray.
