“No one likes blood.”

Tom shrugged. There were probably quite a few who did, but it was hardly a discussion he was getting into now. “Doctors?”

“I’m not afraid of doctors!”

“Great. Let’s go, then. I see an evening filled with blood and doctors, but since you aren’t afraid of either of those, we’ll be fine.”

Jason still didn’t move.

“Jason, I’m serious. We need to go see someone.”

“I can’t.” Jason wouldn’t meet his eyes, and he didn’t move from the bathtub.

“Because?”

“I just can’t, okay? No hospitals or health centres.”

“You’re on the run from someone?”

“What? No!”

“Then you have to give me a good reason for not carrying your naked arse out to the car right now.”

“I…I…it’s the needles.”
