Blood Stains

“Jack, what the hell?” Rudi held up a blood tee shirt. “What were you thinking? I've told you not to wear my clothes.” 

Jack winced. “I didn't realize it was yours until I got to work. I was late and I just grabbed the shirt on the top of the pile. I didn't even look at it. I'll buy you a new one, okay?” 

“No, it's not okay.” Rudi sighed. “You're buying me two.” 

“Fine, I'm buying you two.” Jack grabbed his jacket. “I got a shift.” 

“How did you get so much blood on this anyway?” Rudi wrinkled her nose. 

“The patient severed an artery. When I was trying to stabilize him, the makeshift tourniquet came loose and I got sprayed.” Jack explained.

“Did the patient make it?” Rudi took in the large amount of blood on the shirt. 

“No”. Jack picked up his keys. “He had lost too much blood before we could stop it.” 

“Sorry.” Rudi felt sad for him. She knew he didn't like losing patients but being a doctor in the E.R. he was going to lose one sometimes. 

Jack sighed. “I'll be fine. I'm just glad that I have a little sister who loves me even though I ruin her clothes on occasion.” 

“Yeah. Just go save some lives.” Rudi walked over to the trash and dropped the shirt in. “You can settle up later.”

“See you in the morning, Rudi.” Jack waved as he walked out the door. 

Rudi said a silent prayer that he would have a good night.
