A Doctor at bay!
Tuesday, September 4, 2007

Saffron struggled, pale faced as she tried to rise from the med bay couch, lip bitten back, hand touching the rawness of her wound. She looked at the doctor and noddded in comprehension.
“It was you I guess, Dr Tam as tracked me? You found me... now I owe you my
life.” She was smiling now despite the pain, but her voice still came in tiny gasps. “I thought I musta been dumb leavin some kinda obvious trail – but now I’m glad of the fact.”
Tam eased back the bandage – cleaning and re-dressing the wound. Oddly, it did not appear to be quite as bad as he’d imagined. He was relieved. He shook his head.
“It wasn’t obvious, you can be very... subtle when you want to be – I just – I had access to the security visuals.”
“So you saw me – on TV?”
“Uh-huh”
Saffron’s smile began to widen, opening out like a pair of welcoming arms.
“Did you – was I good... to watch? Simon?”
Tam drew back – and instant rage lit saffron’s face like a flare.
“God – what IS it with you people! you're not human!”
Simon shuffled uneasily. “I – I’m a doctor saffron, I have to be more than human –
I have to be... humane.”
Saffron flinched - as though struck. “Is it inhumane to feel Simon? – you can feel can’t you, you have... feelings, I know – for your sister... for River – you love her don’t you.”
“Of course I do.”
“But do you Simon? Do you even know what love is?”
“I think so.”
Eyes soft with understanding, Saffron leaned forward her finger tips touching the doctor's shoulder.
“Have you ever been with a woman, Simon? Put away your scanners and your stethoscope – you don’t need them to listen to a heart... I can hear yours
right now...”
