Rupert Willis groaned as the doctor removed another jagged piece of shrapnel from his neck .The last weeks one or two metal pieces had worked their way out of his wounds every now and then .Some microscopic fragments -others that made quite the plink in the steel bucket when the doctor finally dropped them in ther eafter using his tweezers to yank them out .

"This one was a hard one " the doctor said .The plinking metal sound in the stainless stell bucket was loud and clear .removing it had hurt like hell.

He peered over to see into the bucket .The metal object ,bloddy and jagged was lying among drops of dark red blood at the bottom.A familiar shape somehow.Then he realized -it was the top part of the armin lever on the PacGov frag grenades they used.who in the F**ck had used them around him lately ?

Then it struck him .That bloody Irish lout had tossed two of them behind him self and almost on top of him when he had tried to run away - or so he had gathered from the debrief.He had been stabbed repeatedly in the head at the time and details were hazy .But he could just see the lumbering shape of the Irishman runing away from him , frags dropping and bouncing on the floor behind him -where he himself had lain fighting for his life .

"Ooops!A little agitated , Sir? " The doctor got franticallly busy pushing gauze swabs into the open wound underthe stitches -the veins had started pumping harder and blood was squirting out .

Willis didnt answer.He popped the lid of his pillbox and downed two.His eyes shot dreadful ,threathening looks at the clerk at the end of the room .

Unable to comprehend why he was being targeted by the boss` anger ,the clerk pretended to work hard at his notes.

Willis gasped in pain as the bandages were being pulled taut again .Someone would pay for this .


Dearly.
