Steph   I start  my rotation tomorrow So if I don't answer right away I'm with a patient 

Jordan  felt his phone vibrate and immediately looked at his phone  reading the text.

Jordan  Thanks for letting me know. I'll try to be patient

Steph  Hopefully we won't get shit stormed I'm not in the mood to deal with a bunch of nuts or to go harpooning 

Jordan  Harpooning ?

Steph  Um… what we call our severely obese patients

Jordan  Oh .I wasn’t sure what you meant but I figured it was something along those lines and honestly I don't blame you there" 

Steph   Where's the next city?
 
Jordan  I'm not sure. I'll have to ask Victor

Steph It's probably hard to keep track I'd imagine. And thanks I've had my phone blown up from my nosey neighbors

I'm sorry  Jordan replied  chuckling to himself 

Steph  Why do I have a feeling you're not and you're laughing ? 

Jordan  Damn you caught me

Steph  It's not that  funny .I'm sorry if I'm keeping you from something

Jordan  You're not keeping me from anything, babe. We're almost to the bus then we'll be heading out on the road

Steph  I'm sure you're excited for the next show

Jordan  I would be if you were going to be there

Steph  Trust me if I could be at every show I would be I usually try to go to multiple .I did this year too. Pittsburgh was before Hershey .Vip killed the bank account

Jordan Sweetheart you don’t have to worry about that shit anymore .Whenever you want to come to  a show  let me know. I'll make sure I have  special  passes waiting for you and whoever you want to bring

Steph   Jordan I couldn't ask you to do that!  

Jordan   You didn't

Steph called Tiff and Laura into the room showing them his message  before she replied.

"Is he fucking serious?" she murmured when they walked into the room.
“What did he say ?” Tiffany demanded narrowing her eyes
“Just read it “ Laura told her after she had read it several times herself.
“I think he’s serious sis “

Jordan  I'm serious.  

  Laura smiled sheepishly. “I told you !“
Tiff eyed her mother
"You're gonna do at least one right? Where are the last five shows ?" she asked  as Laura pulled up the tour schedule.

Steph   Do you have radar or something how did you know what I just said to Tiff and Laura ?Or did that sneaky  little brat message you before she came in here ?
 
Jordan  I just figured you didn't believe me so I wanted to let you know I'm serious. No one messaged me babe 

Feeling like an ass for questioning him Steph looked helplessly  at Tiff
"What the hell do I say to that?" Steph mumbled  as Tiff snatched her phone

Did he just call me babe again ?

Steph Let me know the cities and  their dates, if I’m off from work I’ll find a way to be there .I miss you

“Done stop whining “Tiff told her smiling devilishly .
Reading what her daughter sent Steph glared at her

“And just how the fuck am I gonna do that?  Who said I missed him?”
Before Tiff could answer the phone buzzed again

Jordan Let me know when you’re off and I’ll take care of the rest. I miss you too baby 

Baby ?

  “I have the dates pulled up. You’re off for almost all of them” Tiff grinned sheepishly.
”Which ones am I not off for ?”Steph asked her daughter wondering if what she was about to was the stupidest she ever considered doing.
”There’s a show in Uniondale and the rest are in Canada” Tiff told her.
”Looks like it's just gonna be Uniondale. I don't have my passport “Steph sighed defeated.
”Maybe there’s something Jordan can do ?“Laura suggested.
“I gotta work the night of Uniondale that’s the next city” Steph reminded her.
”Fuck that place .Bang out. Dad will survive .And you never call out. You should have PTO available too ”Laura reminded  her.
Reaching for the phone Steph dialed the number for the base. When one of the dispatchers answered she asked to immediately be transferred  to Bill  explaining  that there was an emergency. She needed to take some of her PTO time. Bill grumbled but gave her the time anyway because she never missed a shift and worked overtime every time she was asked. Pulling the paper Victor gave her out of her pocket she dialed Victor’s number.
