Bill winces slightly as he surveys the pages of the report in front of him.
“You okay?” I mumble quietly; to anyone else it looks like I am inquiring about the status of the repairs.
“Fine,” he offers me a tight-lipped response. He moves his arm to sign the paper and his face contorts further.
“The frak you are,” I say, “at least take the rest of the day off, I can handle this.” I gesture to the surrounding area of the CIC. “You can barely move.”
He meets my concerned gaze with a steely look of his own.
“Saul, I’m fine. Just pulled my back. I’ll live,” he assures me gruffly.
Hoshi presents another frakking report for him to sign; he turns away from me to complete the task.
It’s then that I notice it. A red mark on his neck, just bellow his collar. It’s only partially visible; but I’ve seen enough to be able to put two and two together and get one helluva result.
“At least tell the Old Lady to take it easy for fraks sake,” I grumble quietly once his attention is mine again.
Bill’s wince of pain morphs into a smug grin.
“Not a chance.”
