Coincidences Don't Happen ((1919))

[Meadowlark]

"The phone's on the end table next to you." He returned his attention to his puzzle.

Mac turned, looking at it. It took him a couple tries to get the phone, and he managed to strain his arm, but he got it in his lap, calling up Coricopat first.

[Meadowlark]

"Hello?"

[victoriousscarf]

"Heya Cori, worried about me yet?"

[Meadowlark]

The voice on the other end took a moment before it was heard again. "Mac? Where are you?"

[victoriousscarf]

Macavity looked over at Cohen. "House of a doctor," he said after considering how to phrase it for a couple moments.

[Meadowlark]

Another long pause followed by a sigh. "What happened?"

[victoriousscarf]

Mac almost shrugged, but it would have been pointless while on the phone. The only one who could see him would be Cohen. He drew his uninjured leg up to his chest. "'ot shot. The entire operation was stupid in the first place and I swear if Hensen is still alive, I'm shootin' him for that mess," he paused, remembering Cohen's presence and almost winced. "I 'ot shot in the leg though, and I might not be able ta leave for a while."

[Meadowlark]

"You need me to come get you?" Coricopat's tone was almost a growl, figuring that he might deal with Hensen at this rate.

[victoriousscarf]

"Maybe later," Mac said, wincing at the very thought. "I am not facin' those stairs again until at least after mornin'."

[Meadowlark]

"...You're at a doctor's place with a shot leg and he made you go up stairs?"

[victoriousscarf]

Mac glanced back over at Cohen out of the corner of his eyes. "Just two flights," he said quietly. "Without much other options."

[Meadowlark]

"Two flights?" He sighed. "Alright. Do you want me to call your brother or are you going to?"

[victoriousscarf]

"I will," Mac said. "I'll call you again tomorrow then?"

[Meadowlark]

"Mhm. Take care."
