My Fingers Slipped @partyplanningforsuckers The heat only seemed to be packed in at the circus, with the hundreds of citizens that had swarmed like ants and the intense rides that seemed to have a life of their own. The smell of sugary cotton candy and popcorn was enough to lure anyone who had just come from a days work, the circus was the place to be. With a circle of sand and tigers, along with swinging trapeze and double jointed dancers, the main stage was selling ticket for such a view.

Carlos hadn’t been to a circus in years – not since he was little. But there had been a raffle at work and Carlos had won a coupon for a free ticket. He kinda hoped that his brother and/or his dad were in town so he could invite them to go with him.

Carlos made his way to the ticket office that was set up, standing in the line with his coupon as he looked at everything around him. Some things were different than what he remembered or imagined a circus to be like, but not everything could be a dated cliche trope he supposed.

Once at the ticket office he smiled and offered the coupon. “Hey… this any good?” he asked in a joking manner.

It
was hard not to be embarrassed by the question, it was like your dad
asking you if you wanted to talk about the kid you punched in the face
or not. He twisted his fingers into one another, quickly and eagerly
shaking his head. “Ah, no..? There’s nothing. Why?” He asked with
suspicion in his voice, sure that Carlos was looking for something wrong
with him.

“I just wanted to ask… see if there’s something else you wanted to talk about before I… you know, go off into the land of big words and science jargon. Heh…” Carlos laughed, like it was funny, but really he was worried about boring Skip all over again. Nothing hurt your interest in your hobbies quite like someone ignoring everything you have to say about it.

“Maybe I could learn something-“

Probably not.

But he would certainly try to at least distract himself in the confusion of what the scientist was about to spout on about, he seated himself next to Carlos and glanced over the microscope wondering how much it costed. “I bet you’re so much smarter than me I could never even hope to process what you’re saying, so I’m sorry if I.. get jumbled? Science wasn’t my forte in school, sorry.”

Carlos hummed. “I’ll… try to make this as easy to understand as I can,” Carlos said. “There’s just… already so much that’s different with your biology just from this sample. For instance, the structure itself is very different from what I’ve seen before…” Carlos started to describe the shape and attributes of the cells, as compared to ‘normal’ cells. He tried as best as he could to explain things in a way that Skip might understand, but sometimes he couldn’t avoid using a big word or phrase.

You know that kid, Dedneil? Dan* actually threatened to break his neck and kill him.

Neil, is this true?

@dedneilsearchhistory

*He hesitated before nodding,* I.. Yes. Yes I am.

Okay. On three…. three. *Carlos quickly snaps the arm back in place*

*Neil tightly closed his eyes, flinching as Carlos snapped it back in place,* OH G- *he covered his mouth with his other hand, taking a deep breath to calm down.*

*Carlos held the arm.* It’s okay, Neil… you’re doing great buddy. I’m going to wrap this up now. Give me a second, okay? *Carlos starts to arrange the straight pieces of wood he found and he starts to tape the arm as best as he can.*

*Neil, after a while of breathing deeply, kept relatively calm, watching as Carlos carefully wrapped up his arm,*

I have some ibuprofen that i can give you once I’m done with this.  There’s some things I need first before wrapping it up… I also need to see if your feeling comes back before I do anything else.

*He slowly removed his hand,* Okay.. okay..

Alright… this should be good eough for now. Come on… let’s go to my tent. You’ll be safe there while I try to get Max back.

Alright… *He sighed,* Max.. he and I had a little phone call yesterday.. he wanted me to tell you and Dan to not get near the imposter. And not give him what he wants… but to get him back you have to get neat that guy..

Just be careful around him, alright?

I will be, Neil. I’ll get Max back and safe, I promise.

Neil, is this true?

@dedneilsearchhistory

*He hesitated, but nodded* Yes…

A man is going to die tonight.

Where is Dan* now…?

I dont know… but he also broke my arm…

Jesus Christ… Neil, have you gotten help for your arm?

*He shook his head* I’ve kind of just.. tried to ignore it…

Oh… Neil, no, that’s the worst thing to do! Hang on –  I can help. I don’t have access to an Xray, but I know how to set a bone back in place.

Will… will it hurt?

…

I’m afraid it will, Neil. But it’s better than hurting forever because it healed improperly. I’ve got some ibuprofen to give you afterwards to help you deal with the pain too. Trust me, Neil – I’m a scientist.

…Alright, it’s better than just ignoring it… *He sighed* I just wanted that guy to leave Max alone…

I know you did, Neil. I’ll go get Max, after I fix your arm, okay? Lemme quickly splint it for now – if you don’t do anything, I can plaster it after I get Max. Sound good?

Mhm.. yeah… *At this point, Neil didn’t really seem to care about his arm* I hope he gets arrested for the shit he’s done….

At least. *Carlos pulls gets some medical tape out of his bag and gets a couple sticks.* I’m going to have you wait in my tent where it’s safe while I go find Max, okay? Come here… lemme see that arm, buddy.

Okay.. *He stepped closer, glancing away as he let Carlos inspect his arm*

*Carlos looked at the break* I’m going to touch your hand. Tell me if you feel anything. *Carlos takes Neil’s hand and gently squeezes his fingers*

*Neil remained silent, sighing* No.. nothing..

*frowns at that* Really? Nothing at all? No pain, or even just me pinching your fingers?

*He nodded* Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

…I-is that a bad thing?

Yeah…. it kind of is. It might mean there is a nerve damaged. God damn Dan*…

I’ll still get this set and splinted because I need to get Max. But before I plaster it I need to see if your feeling had returned at all. So… you ready to get the bone set again?

“You. Your imposter has my kid. I need you to get him back.”

“He what!?”

“Don’t worry; I’m already planning on kicking that impostor’s ass after I rescue Max.” Dan reached into his pockets & took out his brass knuckles. “Do you know where they are right now?”

@the-perfect-scientist

“Knowing him, I honestly wouldn’t doubt it. We need to get Max away from that douchebag as soon as possible.”

“I
swear to God if he tries anything I’m going to set him on fire.” Dan
started to head towards his apartment, clenching his fists.

Carlos just followed him. Dan seemed like a slightly unsteady man, but Carlos felt alright since they were on the same side of this ordeal.

“What’s the plan when we get there? Do we just walk in, or are there any windows to peer through first?”

You know that kid, Dedneil? Dan* actually threatened to break his neck and kill him.
