Sawyer

Alright, Timmy. I’ve got all your stitches out. Your knee will be fine. Try to take it easy on those bicycle ramps,” Sawyer laughed, patting the boy on the shoulder.

“Thanks, Doc,” Mrs. Simmons said. “Those bike ramps are going to be the death of both of us. How many times have we been in your office in the last year for stitches and one broken arm?”

Sawyer laughed. “Well, I can’t say too much. My mother had ten kids. She probably spent more time in the hospitals and doctors’ offices with us than anywhere else.”

“Didn’t your brother, Colton, recently wreck his airplane and almost die from his injuries?”

Sawyer shook his head. “Yes, Ma’am.”

“See, Mom. Stitches aren’t so bad. I’m going to be a pilot when I grow up.”

She groaned. “Alright, Dr. Johnson. We’ll see you in a week or so for whatever else he might do to himself.”

Timmy hopped off the table. “Bye, Doc.”

“Bye Evel Knievel,” Sawyer replied.

“Mom, who’s Evel Knievel?”

Mrs. Simmons groaned and shot Sawyer a dirty look before she answered, “A famous daredevil who broke every bone in his body doing stunts.”

“Cool. I’m going to look him up when we get home.”

Sawyer smirked. “Look at me inspiring young people to learn.”

Martha, Sawyer’s nurse, said, “You know that woman is going to murder you the next time she sees you, right?”

“Yeah, but I’ve got to pay your salary somehow.”

She smacked him lightly on the shoulder with the file. “You’re incorrigible.”

“That’s what my mother always said.”

He pulled the folder out of the next patient’s wall holder and looked at it.

Denise, his receptionist tapped him on the shoulder. “You have a visitor.”

“Who is it?”

“Some guy named Lucas Hampton.”

“Well, I’ll be darned. I haven’t seen him in ages. Bring him back, please.”

A few minutes later, a tall red-haired man stood in the hallway. “Hello, there, Sawyer. Long time no see.”

“It has been a long time. How are you?”

“Great. I see you have a thriving business.”

Sawyer nodded. “Yep. What brings you my way?”

“I need a vacation and I think you should go with me. I was thinking of planning a week’s stay at the ski resort on Montagne Maudite.”
