Lansing stared at Brandon wide-eyed "Yes, I do"

"Yes, I do, what?" Brandon raised his voice just slightly, but there was notone

Lansing stood up a little straighter, blinking a little faster "Yes, I do, sir"

"Then I suggest you go get hiht, sir" Lansing glanced back at Ms Brady and down at her ankle again "But, uh, I apologize for any disrespect I assure you there was none intended, and, uh, I can get her those painkillers no proble Ms Brady is in a lot of pain Go get them now"

"Yes, sir," Lansing said, nodding at Brandon and then at Ms Brady

"I still want your supervisor’s name," Brandon inforain before walking away in a hurry

Yeah, no shit That’s why he should’ve given it to her a long ti warned "Just because it won’t hurt to do so any it lanced over at Brandon, a silly s a little "I feel better already," she said with a slight slur

Brandon nodded at her but said nothing and certainly didn’t offer any smiles He knew all too well from his own past injuries and those of many of his recruits what morphine could do to you--e any such behavior fro had probably given her a big fat dose of the stuff

Lansing went back to what he’d begun to do before Brandon had deht, Brandon understood a little nohy Lansing had wanted to get all the infor her up with the pain ht and coherent answers from Ms Brady in this inebriated and confused state of er than it would have if he’d done so before Still she was out of pain now, and that’s all thatquietly as she answered all the pertinent questions, Brandon took note of soly did She wasn’t ency contacts were her parents, who lived more than an hour away in one direction, and her sister, who lived a half hour in the opposite direction She enty-seven, and the only medication she was on was one she said was for anxiety, but she hadn’t taken it in weeks He noticed how she lowered her voice when answering that and a few other more personal questions, such as she just finished her nant once but never full tero
