summary: audrey received new orders and though she wasn’t surprised to be given this task, the blonde still didn’t expect to see it coming.
saying she was nervous was an understatement. though it wasn’t anywhere close to being audrey’s first surgery, she felt like there was a little more pressure with a patient who was fully aware — not like he’d be making it out of this alive. richie’s eyes on her should of added more pressure, but they did the opposite. his presence helped her focus, she told him that she’d be able to do this and she wasn’t about to go back on her word. looking back at him for a moment, she let out a deep breathe and approached the struggling body that was strapped down on the med suite bed. there were three coolers nearly filled with ice, ready and waiting.
avoiding the man’s eyes, she grabbed him by the forearm stretching it out so it was flat while digging into her medical coat pocket to pull out a syringe filled with morphine. she tapped the crook of his elbow, taking a moment to search for a good vein before injecting the drug into him. the drug was fast working thankfully, giving her the opportunity to do this without him flailing around and getting in her way. she walked her way over to the cabinet where the extra sheets were located, taking out a small one and twisting it into a tight roll with a thick knot in the middle. once she reached the body she tied it around his head, a gag acting as an extra precaution, just in case she needed it. if cutting into this man’s flesh didn’t cause him to pass out, the drugs coursing through his veins would definitely speed up the process.
she pulled a pair of gloves on her fingers before finally reaching for her scalpel, steadying her hand as she slowly approached the man once again. her hands moved to the buttons of the man’s shirt, taking a deep breath as she undid them and moved the fabric away from his torso. she repeated over and over in her head that she could do this, she did things like this all the time, though her patient was usually supposed to be there and not the subject for organ removal. it was fine, it had to be fine, now all the was left was for her to focus — the difficult part was just beginning.
