I had never heard of Lucinda Williams before now…I like what I’ve heard…now that I know about her…I want more

you might remember i said it would be fun to watch Caitlin and Aliyah together ... then i was sooo disppointed by their early play. the connection just wasn't there. but they're figuring it out, together. by the end of the year, teams are going to be in over their heads trying to stop them.

hello

how'd you like Carwheels? i think Williams is a poet in her own right, and there are some incredible songs on that album. best album of 1998 (a VERY good year) according to the 'Village Voice' ... won a grammy too

I think you do…

NCPD
"Corporate Immunity."

"Step aside."

He flashes a handheld screen with Bargain Brigg's policy on it. The price tag puts it into a category known as Platinum. That thief. The one who fired on cops. The one who is currently having a heart attack on cell smuggled drugs. He's going to walk out, or carried, of here free because that's how it works.

The young initial responders on his side don't fully get what's going on. They still have their guns up.

The NCPD officers watched too many NUSA cop dramas and think their law means anything against corporate cash.

He stands there, policy in hand and view.

"Step aside, officers."

Firm. Cool. Like a man who had his guts shredded two weeks ago and lived through it.

The younger officers finally relay the info to their Precinct inside. The higher ups verify that yes, this happens.

The NCPD officers outside the precinct, bitterly, lower their weapons and step aside. They learn a lesson that all the old grizzled officers also learned, and hate.

How did it get to be July 1st so quickly!?!

Out

NCPD
Sebastian hears them over the microphone enhanced speakers on either side.

"Trauma Team! Step aside and allow access to the patient or we will open fire!"

"Stand down! NCPD!"

It goes back and forth. He sees one of the NCPD officers swap their mag to one with red tape. On the street, these often cue a use of AP ammunition.

Updated orders from Trauma Team have not yet come.

NCPD is not backing down.

Sebastian steps out of the vehicle, no weapon drawn because he's just the surgeon. He walks out towards the first team, and the NCPD squad, where tension is so thick it could be cut with a monofilament blade.

He can tell immediately that these are hot heads on both sides. Younger professionals. Twenties. They both think they're right, and they're all not willing to back down. Trauma Team firing on cops is a bad look. NCPD firing on medics is a bad look. Bargain Briggs is not worth it.

But he's a Trauma Team employee. This isn't his free clinic. He's not the boss and can't be impartial here. He does have rank on most everyone on Trauma Team, but it's fuzzy when it comes to the pilots and security officers.

He walks directly towards the NCPD squad with his hands out to his sides.

He's about to make their day a lot worse and make himself feel even dirtier.

He's going to use two words that the NCPD hate, the newbies don't fully understand, and highlights what he hates most about corporate medicine.
