 It was a normal shift. Until it wasn't.

Clay had just gotten there, getting his station set up.

Bruce had already been there since open so he continued working while Clay got set up.

The other three were in the front of the house, Floyd and John were taking orders when a pained yell sounded from the back of the house.

Floyd, Branch and John Dory dropped what they were doing and ran to the back to see Clay sat down on the floor, holding a cold paper towel to his hand while Bruce comforted him.

"What happened?" Branch asked as JD walked over to look at what happened to Clay's hand.

"I...I grabbed a pan......to put in the dishroom......but I guess.....the handle had been sitting over the flame ....and it burned the shit out of my hand." Clay whined, tears welling up in his eyes a little.

John helped him up and lead Clay to the office where the first aid kit was.

"Alright, let me see the damage." JD said, grabbing the burn cream from the first aid kit before opening Clay's hand.

The burn mark was red and starting to blister.

The other three hissed at seeing the mark, John grimacing slightly before putting the burn cream on it.

After putting the burn cream, JD wrapped up Clay's hand.

"Ok, Bruce and Floyd get back to work." John Dory said, pointing at the two.

"Wait, what about me?" Branch asked, confused.

"Clay, take off your chef coat." John spoke, motioning with his hand for Clay to stand up and do what he was told, seeming to ignore Branch.

Clay stood up, confused but did what he was told, taking off his chef coat.

John Dory started taking off his button down shirt, confusing the other two even more.

"JD, what are you doing?!" "Branch asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I'm going to cook, Clay is going to host and you, Bitty B, are going to serve." John finally answers, pulling his chef coat out of the closet.

"What?! I can cook!" Clay shouts, stomping his foot a little.

"Yes you can totally cook with that burn across your right hand that is your dominant hand. It's not like you'll be grabbing things with that hand all day." John Dory says sarcastically, rolling his eyes slightly.

"I'll still be grabbing things if I'm hosting." Clay points out in a dead panned voice.

"Yes but the risk of further injury goes down tremendously if you're hosting." JD remarks.

"He's got a point, Clay." Branch interjects but the look Clay gives him makes him decide to get a head start on his tables. Branch hurries back up front, informing Floyd of what's happening.

"You got a button down?" John asks as he buttons his chef's coat.

"No, I'm a cook. Why would I have a button down?" Clay says, irritated and rolls his eyes.

"Fine, you wear mine." JD says, throwing the discarded button down at Clay.

"What? No, I can't wear your shirt John Dory!" Clay shouts slightly, balling up his hand before feeling the shoot of pain from the action.

"Well you ain't gonna be hosting in a T-shirt, so put on the button down Clayton now." John says, gritting his teeth and glaring down Clay.
