“Don’t laugh. It’s not funny.”
“I’m not laughing.”
“You’re trying hard not to, but on the verge of failing miserably.”
“It is pretty funny, Munch.”
“How about you get shot in the ass and see how hysterical you find the situation.”
“You’d be cracking wise nonstop if that were the case. Admit it.”
“I’ll admit to nothing seeing how I’m drugged up on painkillers that are impairing my judgement. Why else would I put up with your teasing right now?”
“Because I smuggled in your favorite milkshake. And when you’re better, you know I’ll do more than kiss it.”
“True.”

Fin watched over his sleeping partner, glad to see him finally at rest. Out in the corridor the hospital activity buzzed on, but in here all was quiet, peaceful.
Quiet enough to leave Fin with his thoughts on how today could have gone so much worse.
They laughed and teased because it was easier than confronting that potential reality-the constant risk they faced almost daily, whether from a stray or a targeted bullet.
John had been lucky this time, as Fin had been, the year before. He didn’t want to imagine a day when that luck might run out.
