_Blair's View_
Well it's 2003, now, and what a way to spend New Year's Eve. Here we all are: Simon, Joel and the gang sitting in the waiting room waiting for word of one of us hurt. All I can do is pace up and own the room 22 steps from one wall to the other.
Is this how Jim feels every time I'm injured - hopeless - For him and his Blessed Protector it must be hell?
Brown and Rafe have been for another coffee round, I've told them a couple of times to go home and I'd call them as soon as I knew what was what.
It started out as a pretty good New Year's Eve, we decided to do a pub crawl for the beginning and end up at Simon to see the New Year in, but we didn't get that far. Damn how did it all go to hell?
It all happened too fast; one minute Jim and I were walking into Mallory's Pub and the next, Jim was on the ground with a knife in his stomach. The rest of it's just Blood and images, next thing I remember is Simon beside me with a wet cloth for my hands, with Jim's blood on them and my clothes. I guess that's why I'm in green doctor's clothes; Joel got them for me to change into.
All we can do is wait.
_Simon's View_
Damn what a way to end the year, as if we haven't spent too much time here in the last year as it is, I hope this isn't going to be an omen for things to come; if so, I might retire early. I can't handle too much of this kind of thing for those two.
I wish Blair would stop pacing, it's making me fell dizzy, at least none of us are too drunk to see the new year in, another two hours to go. I hope Jim's out of surgery by then so that at least we will have a good new year.
Blair's told us to go home a couple of times, but I know it's a waste of breath; no one is moving until we know one way or another about Jim.
It all happened so fast; one minute Jim and Blair were walking into Mallory's Pub in front of us; the next; Jim was on the ground with a knife in his stomach. Rafe and Brown jumped on the guy who did it along with Joel. I have to remember to ask Joel what the guy keep chanting.
I couldn't hear him under the guys, anyway. I was too busy on my cell phone calling for an ambulance and backup to take the guy away, while watching Blair attend to Jim, I could see the knife sticking out of his stomach. At the hospital, I was able to get Blair into the Men's toilet to change into some scrub clothes Joel got for him as his clothes were all stained with Jim's Blood. I also got him to wash his hands and face, as well.
Two hours till 2003, and all we can do is wait.

What a way to end the year, as if we didn't spend enough time here in the last year with this kind of thing for Jim & Blair.
I wish Blair would stop pacing, it's making me feel dizzy; at least none of us are too drunk to see the new year in, another two hours to go. I hope Jim's out of surgery by then so that at least we can go somewhere to have a few drinks so that we will have a good new year.
Blair's told us to go home a couple of times, but there's no way anyone is moving until we know one way or another about Jim. It's got to be good news, right?
How did it happen so fast? One minute Jim and Blair were in front of all of us, while walking into Mallory's Pub. This crazy or drunk guy had walked up to Jim and said something, the next Jim was on the ground with a knife in his stomach. We just let instincts take over and jumped on the guy, pinning him to the ground. He was still putting up a good fight when Joel jumped in.
At the hospital, Simon was able to get Blair into the Men's toilet to change into some scrubs Joel got for him, as all Blair's clothes were all stained with Jim's Blood along with his hands and face.
Two hours till 2003, and all we can do is wait.
_Jim's View_
Well I must have put one over this New Year's Eve, because I feel like hell, everything around me is too loud, the dials aren't working. I wonder were Sandburg is, I can't hear him near, in fact this doesn't sound like the loft at all, damn I know those noises, and I'm in the hospital again. So what did I do this time? What a way to end the year, as if we didn't spend enough time here in the last year, it almost became our second home.
Okay, so what happened to get me here this time? I remember walking with Blair and the MC gang into Mallory's Pub to have a few drinks; we were in the front, talking about something with Joel and Simon bringing up the rear.
This drunken guy came up to me and asked if I was a cop, I confirmed that we all were and that I hoped he wasn't driving. I started to say something else when I felt a burning in my stomach; I looked down and saw a knife stuck out of it. I could hear Blair calling my name then nothing until waking up now.
I hope Blair's ok and no one else was hurt. The doctor has been by and told me I'm doing fine and that the surgery went well, he also said that he'd tell the guys in the waiting room that, so I guess that the guys are all here too. Yep, now I can hear my guide's heartbeat, it was fast for a bit there but as the doctor tells him I'm going to be fine, his heartbeat is going back to normal. I also hear Simon telling everyone to go home and wishing them a Happy New Year as well.
I know that any minute know now, Blair will come into the room and sit with me. What a way to spent New Year's Eve. Welcome to 2003.
