Damage Control Party

Morgan and I got on either side of the unloved Vampire and we were careful to avoid his ribs. In IR I could see all my intentional damage easily. Morgan was scanning him too.

"This rib here is not broken all the way." Morgan criticized, pointing.

"Sorry. He fell over too fast." I said. "I was hoping he was made of sterner stuff."

"Nah. It was obvious to anyone watching he was a complete pushover." Morgan said.

"Dick jokes. Pushover? You are on a roll tonight." I complimented.

"She wants to get rolled tonight." Jessica said. "And she is going to be. I love a 'good ribbing'."

Everyone is a comedian.

Jessica pulled a chair up next to the counter that had all the medical supplies.

Alexander said nothing at all the jokes being told at his expense. Just moaned and winced.

Morgan examined her side of Alexander with a tilted head. "I have to say, Adrian, I don't think there is a mob enforcer that could have done this better. Hardly any broken skin on this side, but lots of damage going in a few inches. No internal organ involvement at all. Excellent blow calibration. Just the one missed rib opportunity, but I guess if he lets me beat him up later, I can take care of that one. Give him a matched set. Please let me beat you up later? I am asking nicely. DO something really stupid again!"

Alexander sighed. Did not look at her.

Jessica pulled open swollen eyes and studied pupils. Checked his ears. Rotated his head about. Looked at his nose and his lips. Said things like "Hmm." And "Interesting". She lifted his arms and felt his ribs on both sides. Studied the bruising patterns.

"Morgan, would you get me the salad tongs?" Jessica requested.

Morgan retrieved them from the kitchen and slapped them into her hand as if they are a medical instrument, complete with Morgan calling out : "Salad Tongs!"

"You are really goofy today." I told her.

"I am having a good day. Alexander got his penis pulped. I am getting laid. Alexander is going to do something stupid and let me beat on him." Morgan explained.

"He did not agree to that." I pointed out.

"He will." Morgan said. "Mark my words. I know his kind."

As Alexander watched, Jessica used the salad tongs and lifted his penis out of the way to look for ball and perineum damage. Jessica continued to move his genitals around with the food implement and flipped him up, left, and right. "I don't see any obvious serious damage to this ugly-ass thing. A little bruising is all. Nothing like the ribs or the face. Looks like this pecker shall live to degrade women another day. Unfortunately." Jessica diagnosed. Jessica looked over at me. "Don't feel too badly, my love. If you had damaged it too much, he would have grown a fresh one. New balls and all. Vampire healing can be a curse sometimes. At least you didn't have to touch the goddamn slimy thing like some people I know."

Jessica shuddered.

Jessica stood fully upright, handed the tongs back to Morgan the same way Morgan handed them to her. Morgan promptly plopped them down on paper towels. "Yuch. Going to have to sterilize these. And my hands. Simi: Where is the bleach?"

"Show you in a moment. Watching this now." Simi said as if this is riveting reality TV.

Jessica said "I am amazed at this work, Adrian. Just perfect. Except for his genitals. Why did you not pound that thing a few times more? Calibrate it just to the edge like you did the ribs? You literally kicked William's balls off, and that asshole never touched me like this thing did. If that misogynistic flesh stick was a little more damaged, I would have an excuse to cut saw off with a steak knife."
