Clutching his rejected jacket and now out of the way of the three of them freaking out, Majima just nods about Tatsuo's request. He gets it, to say in the least.

"She's the best option we've got for shit like this."

[cattack]

"Who's Grell?" Cleo can't spare much more energy than the one question- She's anti-social by nature, so she doesn't know much of anyone. But now this seems important.

Calling Grell

[blondferret]

Fuck this.

[Derek kneels down and reaches into right front pocket of Tatuo's trousers. Typing "G" in the contacts, he quickly finds the number this "Grell" person.]

I don't know who this Grell person is, but I'm calling them.

[PICK UP YOUR PHONE GRELL!]

[thisloveisjustice]

Doctor. Fight Club.

[Tatsuo is torn between being glad no on is trying to argue with him about not going to the hospital... and a little sad. But mostly he's glad no on is arguing, because he doesn't have the energy to explain.]

Ask her...

[Tatsuo winces thanks to whatever it is Cleo's magic is doing (aka keeping him from bleeding out all over the dojo's lobby).]

Ask her to go to my place.

[sotenbori]

"Back to your place. She'll come." He believes in Grell - she's always been there for everyone on the network. He's really not sure how she does it.

Then, he turns back to Cleo, who'd just shoved him away, "You gonna carry him, or what?"

[cattack]

"I can't." She shakes her head, ears drooping low like a scolded cat. "If I take my hand off of the wound, the healing will stop."

[blondferret]

[For Derek, Grell picked up the phone. Thank God!

Hello, are you Grell? Tatsuo is hurt and he said to call you. We think his injury is retrospec related. It looks like a gun shot wound to the abdomen.

[She tells him to immediately keep pressure on the wound, keep him warm, watch for shock symptoms, and give her an address if they don't want to go through the hospital.]

Yeah he refuses to go. He says to go to his place, it's at [insert address here]. It's a large complex, with six stories buildings. He lives in building E, 5th floor. Meet us outside that building.

[Grell also adds to not let Tatsuo fall asleep and move him as little as you can manage.]

We'll do the best we can. We're at the dojo right now, we'll be there as soon as we can.

[Derek quickly hangs up the phone and looks at Cleo and Majima.]

Goro, you'll have to carry him to the car, I'll drive. And Cleo...

[Derek places what he hope is a reassuring hand on Cleo's shoulder.]

You keep doing what ever you're doing and don't let him fall asleep alright?

[Derek looks back at Goro.]

Do you need help picking him up?

[thisloveisjustice]

Don't fall asleep? That's going to be a fun task. It would be so easy to just... no, no... have to stay awake. Tatsuo takes a breath, shallower than usual because of the pain, and looks up at Derek.

"Goro can manage. He's strong."

[sotenbori]

"Thanks for the confidence." He tries to grin weakly. If Tatsuo's trying, he's gonna try too. He moves to pick him up, careful not to get in Cleo's way so she can keep healing.

[cattack]

Cleo nods, and rises up with Goro. "Just stay with us, Tatsuo." Her hand is pressed against his side the whole time.

[blondferret]

[Trusting Goro and Cleo can help Tatsuo to the car, Derek quickly stands up and pulls out his keys.]

Alright, I'll go ahead and start my car, I'm just out front.

[Derek quickly sprints out the dojo and goes to his car. He puts the keys in the ignition and then goes back around and opens the back door so Goro can carefully put Tatsuo in.]
