He stepped off of the carriage, offering a tip and a little more to its driver. The fresh snowfall had made his bike all but useless for traveling through the streets. He reminded himself for the eighth time since the season had started to get rivets set into his tires, though this was probably the eighth time he'd forget to do so. A good two inches had built up just outside the awning drafted over the ER's front enterance. It made certain that despite his kicking and shuffling moments, his ankles were soaked once he stepped inside.
"Good evening." The nurse appointed for the evening nodded to Spider as she shifted the handset from one shoulder to the other. "No Mr. Douglas, the test results were sent up just prior to closing time....well I'm sorry you didn't feel like doing overtime tonight, you'll just have to read them in the morning." The nurse hung up the line with a sigh, glancing up to the drow. "Don't tell me it's supposed to get worse out there, I've half an hour till my shift's up."
Spider absently tried to shake some more loose flakes off his jeans. "There's a reason the horses are getting their exercise tonight. Hasn't anyone even shoveled out the front lot yet?"
"Yeah, an hour ago..." The nurse sighed louder as the ringer went off again. "Looks to be a busy one tonight Dr. Savaris."
"I suppose so..." He trailed both his voice and his feet off to the locker room to change into something dry. His left wrist tilted up to check the time.
11:06 PM.
Something told him the minute hand would be moving slow tonight. He had just punched in and it wasn't already going faster.
