Disclaimer: Not ours. These characters mainly belong to Nancylee Myatt and others. For the most part this is unbeta'd...epp! All missing words and misspellings...are my dog's fault. =0)

A/N: Really it's more like a posters note, 'cause this chapter was brought to you by [livejournal.com profile] nemodoryismyido a.k.a DocWho2100. But I am excited 'cause it's short and funny and probably going to frustrate some of you...I'll muster up guilt after my third trip to the alter. Cup one's almost down so...soonish. =0P

Other than that, read and enjoy. Thank you!



Ch. 5 – DocWho2100


Nora squinted, tracking the thug’s departure through her watery eye. As the door closed behind the man, Nora closed her eye a moment, listening. One of the sweetest sounds she had ever heard punctuated the silence, the raspy breathing of Nikki Beaumont. It meant Nikki was still alive.

She opened her eye, moving her head just a bit to look at her partner. About to lick her lips, a habit she employed often, she instead thought better of it, swallowing, and rasping out, “Nikki.”

Nikki slowly tilted her head enough so brown eyes met green. After a moment, “What?”

A moment passed, then two. Just as the third was about to lapse, “I gotta go pee.”

Nikki stared at her partner, blinking, once, twice, a third time for good measure. “The last words I could hear from my lover and partner are, ‘I gotta go pee’?”

“Well I do.”

Nikki made a strangled coughing sound, which finally eased out into a light laugh, trailed by a groan. “Now my ribs hurt even more.”

“Well, it is a serious thing. There was an incident last time I was in a position like this…”

“You’ve been in a position like this?” the laughter was gone from Nikki’s voice.

“Long story, ask Dan and I when we are outta this, but well, my bladder betrayed me and when they found us and got us out… let’s just say I am going to have a rep…”

Nikki just stared at Nora.

Nora stared back.

Once again a strangled coughing chuckle bubbled forth from Nikki. “Only Nora Delaney could be in a dire situation like this and descend into bathroom humor.”

“Well, isn’t that one of the reasons you love me?”

Nikki winced as she tried to smile. “Yes Nora, and I’d not have it any other way.”

Nora closed her eye a moment, trying hard to keep her calm. “Good, I could have gone for the ‘I love you’ bit, but, I think we already got that. No way in hell I would have sat here this long for Dan.”

Nikki could not help but smile, damn the pain. “Really? I’m honored that you would not go through torture for anyone else but lil ole me.”

Nora also tried a smile, the expression barely discernible amid the cuts and bruises. “You realize we are both messed up to be sitting inches from death and talking about shit like this.”

Nikki inclined her head as much as she could. “I realized you were messed up the first moment I met you. Why would I expect any less?”

“Good.”

Silence descended, the two working on breathing and trying not to hurt… too much. Voices broke the silence, coming from the other side of the door.

They both looked at each other. “Keep being crazy, ok?” Nora’s plea came out more desperate than she’d intended.

Nikki simply nodded, “Always Darlin’ and keep the same flowing my way.”

They both looked then as the door opened.
