    IN THE

    DESERT

    By S.C. Wynne

    CHAPTER ONE

    The kid was obviously out of his head and had no idea what he was doing. So I didn’t take it personally when he tried to stab me with a scalpel. His skinny, tattoo-covered body was shiny with sweat, and his eyes were dark and vacant.

    I said don’t touch me, and I fucking mean it, he growled.

    We just want to help you. You’re bleeding. I stayed a safe distance away now that it was apparent we weren’t going to be BFFs. I felt for the kid, but I was exhausted. I’d just finished two twelve-hour shifts in the ER back to back and was irritated he had to have his freak-out right as I was about to leave.

    No way. He kicked over a chair and shoved his weapon toward me again.

    Out of the corner of my eye, I could see one of the ER nurses making a call. Where the hell was the cop who’d brought him in? I was more than a little pissed they hadn’t stayed with him since the kid was obviously high as a kite.

    Standing next to me was the oncoming physician, Dr. Snyder. I’d just signed out to her. She looked less than thrilled to be here, and I couldn’t blame her.

    Sawyer licked his lips, and his gaze darted toward the sliding glass exit. He waved his weapon toward the group of us but seemed to have second thoughts about leaving immediately.

    Where do you keep the Oxy? Sawyer demanded.

    Nobody answered. They all turned in unison to stare at me. Aw, how I loved my coworkers sometimes.

    You’re in charge, right? He swallowed nervously and stepped up close to me. He smelled like sweat and fear. Where do you keep it?

    You know I can’t just hand you OxyContin, Sawyer. I did my best to sound reasonable. From his nasty expression, I could only guess he didn’t appreciate my efforts.

    Listen, Doc. He looked down at his blood-splattered shirt. I’m already in a lot of trouble.

    I can see that.
