Bones finished slicing two apples and set them on a plate before setting them aside for Wash and Casey to nibble on while he worked on the rest. One good pie took quite a few and he needed to get on it. Without a mandolin he had to work by hand- not that he rightly minded the extra work. Something to keep his hands busy while he went over none too pleasant news.

Not that he missed the stiffness OR the bleeding hand. Wash what the hell did you get yourself into?

"Casey, why ain't the kit in the closet? G'wan and grab it if you moved it." God knows he didn't. "Or grab the one from my room, should be on the counter in the bathroom."

Whichever was easier.

"Greg..." It's never easy, this bit. So he pared it down. Made it simple. Clinical. "...suffered penetrating abdominal trauma with damage to the stomach, spleen, and kidney that resulted in massive hemorrhaging. I didn't get there in time t'do much of anything. From what Miz Rose said- Peridot was attack'n, Rose was gonna defend herself and Greg...took the bullet for her."
