Ubiquitous one

Dominic and Brandon unbuckled themselves from Thunderbird Two's jump seats as Virgil gave the all clear. He kept a calm exterior, but both new recruits could tell he was more than a little worried. He has good reason, Dominic thought as they followed Virgil back to the lounge, I wish t' God that it was me in there assisting the surgeon. This is the sort of thing I've been dealing with for years.

There was a flurry of movement as the three men entered the lounge. John sped over to Virgil and grabbed his arm, quizzing him for any new information, even though he seemed to know he would get none. Dominic stretched, wincing as a series of pops issued from his spine. Brandon clapped him on the shoulder, and Dom gave him a smile.

"Well done," Brandon said, "we did good."

"We make a good team." Dominic said. "If only the situation hadn't been quite so close to home, as they say."

Brandon nodded, and the two headed over to where the new recruits were clustered, their faces pinched with worry, but with curiosity, too. Brandon and Dominic were the first of them to go on a rescue. Nikki went straight to Dominic and started quizzing him on Jeff's condition, how he had been, what had been done for him. The two spoke in a strange medical shorthand that the others didn't quite get. Christopher, Kat and Callie questioned Brandon, both about Jeff and about the equipment they had been using.

"Daddy!"

Dominic whirled around as the high-pitched squeal went out. Cherry had been watching Joshua, who broke free and ran as quick as his small legs would carry him to his father. Dominic scooped him up and gave him the hug he obviously wanted. Cherry followed and heaved a sigh, shaking her head.

"He wasn't very happy that you were gone," she said. "But, it was a nice distraction, in a way."

Dominic patted the girl's shoulder and nodded his head.

"Yes, he's going through that 'terrible-twos' stage, not that I like to call it that. Josh seems to know that he can't misbehave, but he does. It's natural. And Cherry, sweetie, your Dad will be okay."

"I hope you're right."
