Crazy Stories With The Crew

The Good Doctor - Blind Storms: Part 3

Shaun walked up to Dr. Kalu and Dr. Browne and sat down beside them.

"Hi, Shaun." Dr. Kalu said, whispering.

"Why are you whispering?" Shaun asked in a normal volume. Dr. Kalu shushed him.

"Claire is sleeping." Dr. Kalu whispered strictly. Shaun covered his mouth.

"Okay," Shaun whispered and pulled his knees to his chest.

Dr. Melendez sat beside Shaun and turned his flashlight on. He made a dinosaur hand puppet with his hands and put it towards the light. Dr. Kalu quietly chuckled at the dinosaur puppet. Shaun looked down at his hands. He made a bunny puppet and put it in front of the light.

"Hello...Mr...Dinosaur." Shaun improvised, moving the head up and down. Dr. Melendez just laughed at the name choice.

"Hello, Little Bunny. Are you lost?" Dr. Melendez asked, opening and closing the dinosaur's mouth. Shaun waited a couple seconds and moved the bunny's head up and down, to indicate the answer 'yes'.

"Here, let me help you. Follow me Bunny." Dr. Melendez said and made his hand puppet walk along. 

Shaun did the same thing and followed Dr. Melendez's puppet. Dr. Kalu had been quietly watching the puppet show, and suddenly had an idea. Dr. Kalu reached over Dr. Melendez's phone and turned it a bit, to make the walk seem longer. Dr. Melendez winked at Dr. Kalu, as a way to say 'thank you'. Finally, Dr. Kalu made a house with his own hands.

"Is this your house?" Dr. Melendez asked, making the dinosaur's mouth open and close once again.

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Dinosaur." Shaun said and brought the bunny puppet over to the house.

"You're welcome." Dr. Melendez said, waving bye and walking away. Shaun moved one of the bunny's paws up and down, to wave the dinosaur goodbye. Dr. Kalu turned off the flashlight.

"The end." Dr. Kalu said. After that, Shaun pushed himself up against the wall. Dr. Melendez grabbed his phone and did the same thing.

After another hour in the darkness, Shaun checked his phone for the time. It was 5:01. He closed his phone and looked at his friends. Dr. Browne was still sleeping, Dr. Kalu had also fallen asleep and Dr. Melendez was playing a hunting game on his phone.

Suddenly, all the lights came on. Shaun gasped and covered his eyes.

"My god that's bright!" Dr. Melendez said, shading his eyes. Then, everyone started cheering and applauding. There was finally light.

"Wh-when did the lights come on?" Dr. Browne asked, wiping the sleep out of her eyes.

"Just now." Dr. Melendez replied. Dr. Browne lifted herself up and woke up Dr. Kalu.

They looked outside and found that the roads were clear enough to drive home on. So, the doctors got up and grabbed their winter attire. Shaun grabbed Dr. Glassman's coat and boots and dropped it off at his office for him. Lastly, Shaun looked up his bus number online, to see whether his bus was running or not. The bus seemed to be running, so Shaun put on his stuff and waited at his bus stop.

Dr. Browne walked out and found Shaun sitting on a bench outside the hospital. She decided to sit down beside him, instead of heading to the car right away.

"Hey, Shaun." Dr. Browne said as she sat down.

"Hello." Shaun replied, holding his scalpel. Dr. Browne looked towards him and looked at his scalpel.

"How come you always carry a scalpel?" Dr. Browne asked. Shaun ignored her and continued to look around.

"I guess I'll have to guess." Dr. Browne assumed. Shaun took one of his hands off the scalpel.

"It's a childhood toy?" Dr. Browne asked.

"Correct," Shaun said, starting to look towards her direction.

"Oh. Someone must've bought you it for your birthday or Christmas." Dr. Browne guessed.

"My brother...gave me a Kid Connections Doctor Kit for my birthday," Shaun said. Dr. Browne smiled.

"Can I look at it?" Dr. Browne asked. Shaun presented the scalpel to her, turned it a bit and put it back towards his possession. Dr. Browne chuckled.

"Shaun..." Dr. Browne said playfully for taking the words 'look at it' literally.

"Claire..." Shaun replied, mimicking Dr. Browne's tone. Dr. Browne guffawed.

After about 10 minutes, Shaun looked at his watch.

"My bus was supposed to be here 5 minutes ago," Shaun complained.

"Hm. Maybe the bus is late. The weather was pretty bad half an hour ago." Dr. Browne mentioned. Shaun nodded and continued to wait.

Eventually, the bus did come. Shaun sat up from the bench and grabbed his bag.

"Bye Claire. See you tomorrow." Shaun said and walked towards the bus.

"Bye Shaun." Dr. Browne said as he walked onto the bus. She watched as the bus door closed and drove away. Then, she got up, pulled out her keys and started heading towards her car. 

THE END!
