Remote Paramedical pain in the ass
Rebuilding Lives, Bit by Bit
Violet found herself for the first time wishing they had Tim’s big ass SUV. The only thing they had with more than two seats was Veronica’s convertible surplus G-Wagon. Even with the heater cranked all the way up, they were thankful for their jackets.
“OK, we need to focus on some unpleasant things. Right now, we need to replace your lost clothes. Lots and lots of underwear. Tons of socks, undies, t-shirts, long underwear, 20-30 pairs for both of you. Short sleeve shirts, long sleeves, pants, shorts, coats, jackets, hats, gloves, everything. Shoes, boots, all of it.”
Violet was expecting something, anything from Derek and Gretchen. Instead, they were quiet. She looked over at them. They seemed lost in thought.
“Guys! Each grab a cart and shop quickly. I will look for other stuff we might need like sleeping bags and packs and such. I’m also shopping for me and Veronica. There are five different outdoors shops we can hit. If they are all open, we will be in good shape.”
Derek had the first question.
“So, we don’t know if any of them are still open?”
“Nope, we don’t. So, shop in each store like it’s the only one we can. When we go to the next, we shop to fill any gaps from what we get from the last one.”
Violet could still see some hesitation in them.
“Look, don’t worry about the cost, or getting too much. We need to take advantage of the opportunity. When we get in there, I am going to talk to the clerk or the manager. I will tell them you lost everything in a house fire, which you did. I will not tell them about your parents. They may come over to try and help. I didn’t want them to bitch about us loading up the carts”
