HER PHONE DIDN’T actually ring very often. More often than not, people just dropped in, whether they needed something or whether they just wanted to say hi, and she liked it that way. When the New York number not programmed into her phone had rung, she’d been surprised to hear his voice on the other side. — Honestly, she’d thought that the last time she’d stitched him up and he’d flown off was the last time she was going to see him, considering he’d been thin in the air for... how long, now? Had it been months?
Still, she got on the subway and went to the precinct in The Bronx, walking in just as he looked like he was going to impatiently break his way out of the police station himself.
“I’m not gettin’ them to do anything,” Becky replied in greeting, hands on her hips as she spoke over the divider. “Also, hi to you, too.” Turning to the officer who had been filling out paperwork, she shrugged. “Is he under arrest or no?”
Being answered in the negative, Becky looked pointedly at the cuffs still on, rolling her eyes when the officer asked are you his girlfriend or something? “I’m his nurse,” she said wryly, glancing at Eros with a weary look.
“You gonna tell me what you were doing that made me come all the way to The Bronx from Brooklyn?”
