"Whoa!" T-Bull called, stifling his own amusement as he walked over to Jessica's car. "Slow down, Jess - you're gonna fall over. Let me help," he commanded, reaching for her shoulders to steady her as she neared before fixing her clothes.

"Oh hi honey," Jessica greeted him, sort of trying to find a balance against the side of her car while T-Bull fixed her wayward shirt. "Aha!' she called out triumphantly finally getting the shoe on straight. "Pantyhose...damn forgot that...oh well, guess nothing but bare legs for today."

Then her phone rang and she dove into her briefcase to pull that out and juggle her overcoat, her briefcase and her phone. "Jess here. What? Really...okay I'll be right over. Thanks for telling me." Trying to turn off her phone, replace it and get in the car at the same time...Jessica only ended tripping backwards into the front seat of her car over her door, legs akimbo and her things everywhere.

"Don't look up...er down my skirt. I'm going commando today," she laughed at TBull as she tried to rearrange herself correctly in the front seat. "And where are you going to be for today? Not getting into more trouble are you?"

T-Bull's mom just shook her head.

"Nobody else better get to look up there," T-Bull complained, half-averting his eyes as he offered a hand to pull her upright. "I'll be at the garage most of the day. When Malcolm and Lamar get in to watch things I'm gonna try and go see Munguia. And I gotta try and get your brother over here."

He sighed. "We found a gun in Malcolm's brother's room, and I got a couple others we took from neighborhood kids this week. They need to be melted down. I wouldn't mind hearing what Jason thinks about Fu Kim, either. And tonight Malcolm and I are gonna try to lecture some sense into his brother."

T-Bull sighed again and then rested his arms against the car as he leaned in close. "But do ya think, maybe, that I can see you and your commando skirt in there, sometime?" he wondered with one corner of his mouth turning up into a half-grin.
 

Malcolm will look around to ward off anyone thinking to listen in than tell Lamar, "Lamar, I not sure I remember what I answered on the tests. I'm pretty sure I did okay, but my head's been full of some crap. Had another run-in with my brother, Jeffrey, last night and he was seriously packing. Then I found some stuff in his room this morning - I'll tell you more tonite at the garage. You heard anything about bug spray, he had a whole box of cans of bug spray in his room."

"Anyway, keep you ears open and ask around where you think its okay, cause Jeffrey made some comments about something going down soon. The sooner we know what the sooner we can hope to deal with it."

Malcolm will drop back into small talk mode when guys approach and hang out trying to be a regular guy for a while. He will also try to listen and ask a few questions when he hears stuff, just to see if he can find anything out.
 

Swearing, Mike goes back to the phone and starts to dial in the number for the police. Then, stopping, he changes his mind and hangs up, trying to remember what the name of his friend from the 5th.. maybe she'ld know someone...
After thinking for a while he says to himself "Ah, f*ck it. I'll just call the cops so they don't blame me for whatever goes wrong."
He then calls the cops.

9:15am


Amy led Carlos through the Texas Medical Center. The county's two trauma facilities were located in the center, as well as institutions specializing in every imaginable aspect of health care, including care for children, cancer patients, heart care, organ transplantation, terminal illness, mental health, and even wellness and prevention.

All 42 of the Texas Medical Center's member institutions are not-for-profit. These institutions include 13 renowned hospitals and two specialty institutions, two medical schools, four nursing schools, and schools of dentistry, public health, pharmacy, and virtually all health-related careers. It is where one of the first, and still the largest, air emergency service was created; a very successful inter-institutional transplant program was developed; and more heart surgeries are performed here than anywhere else in the world.

Through all this, the duo made their way to the University of Texas Medical School--Houston. Through the building they went and into the basement, past the morgues to a small back room with the ominous label of BIOHAZARD on its door.

Amy led him through this to the laboratory in back where all the hospital samples were kept. A few technicians were gathered around tables doing their work. She walked up to one of them, a handsome young Indian man who looked like he was still in school.

"Shashi," she spoke up with a smile of welcome. "This is Dr. Carlos Munguia, a collegue of mine at Ben Taub. He's a first year resident."

The technican nodded, unable to offer his hands since they were incased in gloves. "How-do ya do, Dr. Munguia."

Ferris stepped off the bus, a little confused. He had figured that perhaps heading toward Fifth Ward, he could find someone to help him. The news told him this was sort of contested territory between the Panthers and the Lobos. Looking around, he wasn't sure where the hell he should go. (no he does not know anything about auto-garages).

But he did see something that caught his eye. Over on the street a beautiful silver mercedes looked out of place here in Fifth Ward. And it was definitely familiar as was the driver who was talking to a huge black man. Ferris immediately recognized the young woman as the pretty girl from the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Jessica laughed cheerfully, giving T-Bull an affectionate pinch on the arm. "Are you coming on to me, sir?" she spoke with a twinkle her her dark eyes. "Having sex in a garage, what kind of proposition is that to a proper young lady like me?" She leaned in closer and whispered, "I'll try and get out of work early, you just make sure the place is empty."

"As for Carlos, you could try calling my sister. I'm sure she'll have the most recent number for him."

"Thanks." T-Bull moved just a little forward to give Jessica a somewhat tame but foreshadowing kiss. "I will. And I will," he added suggestively. "Call me. And watch your back, huh?"

T-Bull stepped back from the car so Jessica would have enough room to pull out while he watched her go. Some days it was irritating to no end that for the time she was actually here, both of them were always working. Boston was so damn far away.

Misty is furious at the old man, how could he sell his house, this is all he has, and a one of few places that Misty has. She'll wait for him to get in and then starts yelling.

"HOW COULD YOU? you let someone like that walk over you THAT easily? PUT UP A FIGHT, old man. Don't be doing nothing you don't want. where are you gonna live? WHERE'S YOUR LITTLE GIRL GONNA LIVE? You are liked around here. You are known around here. WE'LL fight FOR you if you don't."

Misty now calms down and softly she says:

"Why, old man, why? This is all I have as well..."

She walks to the sitting room, sit down and starts crying, everything is falling apart. why always her? WHY?

"Nice to meet you...Shashi, was it? Amy has been nagging me relentlessly, " smiling at her, " to come down here and look into this stuff. To be honest, it's not really my field but we all get a passing study in everything don't we? Let's see what you've got and I'll try not to ask you for too many interpretations."
