A Once In A Lifetime Love
Part 3
Justin looked at the couple, unwilling to believe what he was seeing. He was angry and jealous; Lance should be his and AJ kissing him. Justin vowed to make Lance see that AJ was the wrong person for him. He wanted Lance, and would do anything and everything within his power to get his friend. He was sure that Lance only needed someone to explain how bad AJ was for him, and he would leave the Backstreet Boy. Justin felt sure that only one good enough for Lance was him.
“Maybe we should leave them alone.” Kevin suggested, feeling like he was intruding on a private moment.
“Yeah, Kev and I are going to go and tell the doctor where AJ is.” Joey said as he gave Kevin a flirtatious grin.
Kevin just stared at Joey, then grinned back. He had to admit Joey was certainly attractive, and had always come across as a decent guy. Kevin simply smiled and started walking down the corridor with Joey.
“I’ve got to get out of here. I’ll see you later.” Howie said as he quickly walked away from the room, Nick trailing after him.
“Want to call Lance’s mom? She’s bound to be worried if she caught the news.” JC said as he spied the look on Justin’s face, confused at the jealous look in Justin’s eyes.
“Yeah, I promised I’d call when we found out what happened.” Justin said as he walked down the corridor, leaving JC to stare after him before running to catch up with him.
Brian looked at Chris and could see that the other man was desperate for something to do, something he could understand. Smiling at the worried Chris, Brian said, “Want to go and talk? We need to think of something to tell the fans.”
“Yeah. Did you know about Lance and AJ?” Chris asked as the pair walked away from the room, talking quietly.
“No. I knew AJ met someone about two years ago, but because he never said anything I figured they had broken up.”
“I can’t believe I didn’t know about them. I mean, what kind of friend am I?” Chris said half to himself.
“None of us knew. I don’t know about Lance but when AJ wants to keep a secret, no one ever finds out at least from him.” Brian said, stopping Chris so that the other man could see the sincerity of his words.
*******
“Excuse me, but I need to talk to Mr Bass alone.” A stern looking doctor said as he woke the sleeping couple.
AJ looked at him for a few seconds, not knowing where he was. Then all the images of the previous day flashed into his mind, on instinct he turned to look at Lance. Seeing his love was okay, he looked back at the doctor and realised he was in bed with Lance. His heart and mind knew that was where he belonged, but he figured it probably wasn’t a good way to keep their relationship a secret.
“Okay, I’ll just wake him up.” AJ said briefly glancing at the doctor. Turning back to Lance, he gently ran his hands through the blonde hair. “James, babe. Time to get up.”
Lance simply muttered and arched into AJ’s fingers, the doctor narrowed his eyes at his patients’ response. Lance Bass wasn’t acting how he expected someone had just experienced major trauma to act, but he could see that AJ was good for Lance.
“Come on, wake up baby. Someone needs to talk to you.” AJ said, flashing the doctor an embarrassed grin.
“No, comfy. Tell them to come back later.” Lance complained as he nestled into AJ’s arms.
“James, we need to talk.” AJ said, jumping a little when Lance froze completely.
“What’s wrong, love?” Lance said opening his eyes and looking at AJ. “You’re not in pain, are you?” Lance said worriedly as he searched AJ’s face.
“I asked him to wake you up. I need to talk to you alone.” The doctor said to Lance, only briefly looking at AJ.
“Anything you want to say to me, you can tell Alex. He’s my next of kin; we filled in all the paperwork. You want me to get someone to get the papers from the hotel?” Lance said as he glared at the doctor.
“No, that’s quite alright. My name is Doctor Luc Merchant; I’m the head of neurology. I’ve looked over your file and have some questions to ask you.” Seeing Lance’s nod he continued, “What’s your full name and the name of the man beside you?”
“My name is James Lance Bass and the man beside me is my partner Alexander James McLean.” Lance replied quickly.
“Who’s the President of the USA? What year is this?” Dr Merchant said, writing notes on his chart.
“Bush is the President and its 2001.” Lance said, wondering how long this was going to continue.
“What’s your job?” Dr Merchant asked, his voice revealing nothing.
“I’m a singer in a music group.” Lance replied with a wide grin.
“Do you recognise the pictures of these four men?” The doctor asked as he placed pictures of the other four members of Nysnc on the bed.
“That’s Joey, Kevin introduced me to him a couple of hours ago. I don’t know any of the others.” Lance said, not noticing the look of alarm on AJ’s face.
“Do you recognise these four?” Dr Merchant asked this time placing pictures of the other four Backstreet Boys on the bed.
“Of course I do. How could I forget the members of my own group? That’s Nick, Brian, Howie and Kevin. They are in the Backstreet Boys with me and AJ.” Lance said with a small laugh.
“What year did you join the Backstreet Boys?” Dr Merchant asked calmly.
“1996, after my old voice coach recommended me.” Lance replied, a little annoyed at all the questions.
Dr Merchant looked at Lance as he said, “Can you tell me the names of your immediate family?”
“My parents are Diane and Jim Bass, I have one sister called Stacy.” Lance said sounding tired.
“I’ll let you sleep. I’ll look over the notes and tell you what I find later.” Doctor Merchant said a calm look on his face.
“I’m just going to call your mom, why don’t you go to sleep? I’ll be back in a second, babe.” AJ said tenderly as he walked out the room seconds after the doctor left.
“Okay, but don’t be gone too long.” Lance replied as he closed his eyes.
*******
“Doc, what’s wrong with him? His memories are all screwed up about Nsync but he remembers everything else.” AJ asked as he caught up with the doctor at the nurse’s station.
The doctor said quietly after making sure the coast was clear, “Mr Bass has amnesia; it’s fairly common after a trauma. With this type of amnesia the patient normally only has a gap within one area of their memory and the memory they retain can be distorted. In this case he has forgotten he’s a member of Nsync and the other members. As far as I can tell he remembers his career in music but he simply thinks he joined the Backstreet Boys instead.”
“Will his memories return? How can I help him?” AJ asked desperate to do something, anything to help the man he loved.
“The memories may never return but you should spend time with him and so should the members of Nsync, sometimes familiar faces and places help people to remember,” The doctor said seconds before his pager beeped, flashing AJ an apologetic grin, he ran towards the elevator.
*******
“Mrs Bass, I’m at the hospital. It turns out the news was right, Lance was in an accident.” Justin said into the phone, hearing Diane Bass gasp he continued; “The doc seems to think Lance is going to be okay but he’ll have to stay in the hospital for a couple of days.”
“Thanks for telling me Justin, I’m going to book a flight and come up to take care of my son,” Diane Bass said making it clear that there would be no discussion.
“Okay, I’ll tell the others.” Justin said as Diane Bass ended the call, already thinking about arrangements that had to be made.
“How did she sound?” JC asked Justin, seeing the worried look in Justin’s eyes.
“She sounded okay, a little worried. She’s going to get the next flight here and take care of Lance.” Justin replied with a grin; he knew Lance would love having his mother with him.
“Did you tell her that Lance has lost his memory?” JC asked, noticing the guilty look on Justin’s face; he already knew the answer.
“No, I couldn’t just tell her something like that through the phone.” Justin defended himself.
“Want to go and get something to eat?” JC offered, knowing that they couldn’t do anything to help Lance.
“Sure, but I don’t want to talk to AJ, okay?” Justin replied hotly, hissing out AJ’s name. He didn’t notice the look of enlightenment on JC’s face as they walked down the hall.
Ten minutes after they left the secluded relatives room, AJ walked in. Picking up the phone he dialled a number from memory; hoping that he wouldn’t have to be away from Lance too long.
“Diane, it’s AJ. I’m at the hospital with James, we were in a crash.” AJ said as he heard the familiar sound of Diane Bass’s voice.
“I know son, Justin called me. How are you, really?” Diane Bass said her voice comforting and soft.
His voice full of fear and pain AJ answered, “Not too good. James has amnesia; he thinks he’s a member of Backstreet and can’t remember any of Nsync. He got both his legs broke and his spleen was ruptured. The doctor said that the best thing is to have familiar faces.”
“Now that you’ve told me about Lance, tell me how you are. I’m going to come and care of you and Lance. I’ll be there tomorrow morning. Don’t worry about coming to pick me up, I’ll meet you at the hospital.”
Crying into the phone AJ said, “I’m okay now that I know Lance is alive. When I woke up no one would tell me anything, Kevin looked in on him for me. He guessed who I meant when I was asking for James. I just need someone to hold me and let me know that everything is going to be okay.”
“It’ll be okay, Alex. Where you hurt in the crash?” Diane asked, shocked that AJ was moving around.
AJ sighed knowing she was going to be upset at him for roaming around the hospital, “I was stabbed in the stomach; I’m not supposed to be out of bed yet but I sneaked out to see James. I was just so scared that he was really dead and no one was telling me the truth. James was hurt the worse, because the car hit his side. I wish it was me that was seriously hurt.”
“Don’t talk like that. I’m coming to take care of you, I’ll be there soon.” Diane Bass said, praying God would let them all come through the latest crisis.
“Thanks mom. I’ll see you later, love you.” AJ said as he ended the call.
*******
“Howie, should we tell them?” Nick asked quietly, looking around the cafeteria.
Howie replied his voice full of worry, “Not yet, wait until everything has settled down a little. We should go and see how Lance is doing.”
The pair looked up as they felt someone approach, seeing Brian and Chris they relaxed and smiled at their friends. The four friends sat in silence to worried about Lance and AJ to make small talk.
“Do you mind if we join you?” Justin asked cockily.
“The more the merrier, have you heard anything about Lance?” Nick answered willing to forget everything that had happened between them.
“No, but we’re going to see Lance soon.” JC answered, taking a drink from his can of Pepsi.
“They probably won’t appreciate the interruption, we should let them have some time alone.” Joey said as he and Kevin sat down, making them all jump.
“They need each other right now, more than we can imagine.” Kevin said, smiling as Joey gripped his hand under the table.
“Lance doesn’t need AJ. What he needs is his friends, us!” Justin shouted. Thankfully there were very few people in the room with them.
Knowing that it would probably do more harm than good of they tried to separate Lance and AJ. Brian said hotly, “Yeah, but he also needs the person he loves.”
“Let’s just go and see how they are doing.” Brian said determined not to argue now of all times.
The eight quickly stood and walked towards the elevators; not noticing the confused stares. The ride up to their friend’s floor was done in complete silence; each one taking the time to try and organise their thoughts.
*******
“What are they doing in the same room!?” Justin shouted in confusion as he saw that Lance and AJ were lying next to each other in separate beds. He couldn’t believe that the hospital was allowing this.
“Would you calm down? I don’t care who you are, if you disturb my patients I’ll have you banned,” Dr Elise Smith said as she walked over, her face full of anger.
Glaring at each one Dr Smith said calmly, “They are in the same room because their medical records state that they are in effect married. It helps if the significant other is placed in the same room, that way they don’t spend their whole time trying to sneak into each other’s rooms; as I believe happened earlier. It was stated in their medical records that if they were both injured they were to be placed in the same room; and I respect my patients’ wishes.”
“Is it okay if we talk to them?” Howie asked looking over at the couple.
The doctor said firmly “No, it is not. They were both in severe pain; I gave them medication to help with the pain and to help them sleep. Come back in the morning; and get rid of the press.”
“Can you tell them we were here?” Joey said with a smile.
The doctor just nodded and waited for them to leave.
As they rode the elevator down to the car park Kevin thought over the very unusual events that had occurred. Kevin couldn’t help but feel a little envious of the pair, they seemed so happy together. When he had spoken to them; their first concern had been for the other. Looking at Joey, Kevin wondered if this time he might have found the man for him.
Part 4
Diane Bass walked out of the airport, ignoring the waiting press. As she walked she cursed her husband angry over his behaviour. She couldn’t believe he was being so cruel and heartless to her and to Lance.
“New York General.” Diane said as she got into the cab, hoping that she would be strong enough to get her sons through this.
Ten minutes later the car arrived at the hospital, looking out she wasn’t surprised to find the entrance besieged by reporters. As she walked inside, she made a mental note to call Johnny and ask him to remove the press. It could upset her sons and she wouldn’t allow that, nothing would hurt either of them while she was alive.
“I’m Diane Bass, I believe my son and his significant other are here.” She said coolly to the nurse as she stopped outside their room.
“Can I see some identification?” The nurse asked, regarding her suspiciously, there had been too many hoaxes already.
Diane quickly took out her driving license and showed it, angry at the hold up but also pleased to see that there was security to protect the two. She had been afraid that something might happen while they were in the hospital unguarded.
Positive the woman wouldn’t upset his patients Dylan said, “You can go in. Mr McLean is awake at the moment. My name is Dylan Jones; I’m the nurse responsible for their care. Doctor Smith is going to be here in about two hours. We’ll let you stay as long as you don’t upset either of them.”
Diane Bass nodded and walked inside, sighing when she saw that AJ was out of bed and sitting next to Lance. Looking at AJ she could see a patch of red had formed on the white hospital gown. Pressing the call button she walked over to AJ.
Diane Bass said calmly as she helped AJ to lie down on his bed, “Alex, can you just get back on your bed for a minute or two. It looks like you might’ve opened some stitches.”
“What’s wrong?” Dylan said as he walked in, seeing the blood on the gown, he quickly opened it to find the bandages were completely soaked in blood.
“Erm…oops?” AJ said at the glare both Dylan and Diane gave him.
At that moment, Lance woke up and immediately looked over at AJ. Seeing the blood soaked bandages he tried to move only to find his mother stopping him from getting out of bed.
“Don’t even think about moving James.” Diane Bass said sternly, bending down she whispered, “That will only upset Alex more and you don’t want that, do you?”
Lance quickly lay back on the bed, watching the nurse uncover his husband’s bandages. He couldn’t stop the gasp as he saw the large line of stitches on AJ’s stomach.
As he left to get some bandages Dylan said, “It’s not as bad as it looks. Just your body’s way of telling you not to move around, I heard you where strolling around the hospital yesterday. I’ll redress the wound, but this time you have to stay in bed.”
“Alex, this is all my fault,” Lance said as he took in his husband’s grimace of pain.
“It’s my fault for moving around too early,” AJ said quickly, not wanting Lance to start on one of his guilt trips.
“Hush, both of you. No one’s to blame,” Diane said firmly causing the pair to quiet down immediately.
Dylan returned and quickly dressed the wounds, grinning at the matching contrite expressions on the men’s faces. Obviously Mrs Bass had been at them; it was amazing how men could look a little child when their mother told them off.
“Now don’t get out of bed and everything will be okay. You have to give your body a chance to heal.” Dylan admonished before leaving the room with a grin.
Lance said in a rush, “What are we going to do about the concert?”
“James, I’ve got something to tell you.” Diane said sharing a look with AJ.
“When you were in the accident your memory got a little mixed up. You’re not in the Backstreet Boys with me, you’re in a group called Nsync,” AJ said quickly, worried at Lance’s sudden silence.
“Oh, will my memories come back?” Lance asked confused, were all his other memories right?
“We don’t know. That’s the only thing your memory is mixed up on. I mean you can still remember me, Stacy and AJ, right?” Diane said looking at Lance for confirmation.
Lance said with a grin, “Yeah, it’s not important as long as I’ve got you and Alex.”
*******
“Don’t even think about it, J.” JC hissed as he looked at his best friend.
“I don’t know what you mean.” Justin replied quickly feigning innocence.
“Just get over your little crush on Lance. He’s married to AJ and he’s happy. Don’t try to interfere!” JC said, not believing Justin. He knew his friend too well.
Justin said confidently, “That’s only because AJ’s been lying to him. As soon as Lance sees what AJ’s really like, he will realise that he’s supposed to be with me.”
JC snarled, “Get real, he’s in love with AJ! You try to break them up and I’ll stop you.”
“What’s wrong?” Chris asked as he walked into corridor and saw the pair whispering intently.
JC replied quickly, “Nothing, he’s just being an idiot.”
“We should take Lance some clothes and things.” Chris said as he walked towards Lance’s hotel room, taking a key out of his pocket.
The three grinned, as they looked at Lance’s room, tidy as always. The young bass singer seemed to be a compulsive neat freak, something they had always teased him about.
Chris walked straight over to the drawers and started placing clothes in a bag. He walked straight over to the wardrobe and started folding clothes neatly, knowing Lance would freak if they were untidy.
“What you got there?” JC asked as he looked at the frozen Justin.
“There was a fake back in Lance’s briefcase…this was in there.” Justin said as he took out a leather bound book and a large brown envelope.
He opened the book, and groaned as pictures and letter fell out. Picking them up he looked closer, and could see they were love letters. From AJ to Lance and went back three years. Just how long had they been dating?
JC said as he read the documents, “It says here that they got married last year and that in the case of an emergency the other must be contacted immediately. There are four phone numbers and three addresses for each of them. ”
“Looks like there’s a lot we don’t know about Lance. What’s that book?” Chris said as he looked over at Justin.
“It’s Lance’s journal, it’s full of photos and stuff. Think we should take it for him?” Justin said, maybe he could get rid of the photos and love letters on the way.
“Yeah.” JC said taking the book from Justin’s hands.
JC didn’t trust his friend not to “accidentally” lose anything that mentioned AJ. It was just like Justin but it would upset Lance and he would allow that to happen. Lance’s memory might be screwed up but he could apparently remember AJ just fine.
*******
Kevin sighed as he looked over at Joey; he’d had a good time the night before. They had stayed up all night just talking and confiding in each other. He was pleased to discovered that he had been right about Joey-he was a great guy.
“What’s wrong?” Joey asked as heard Kevin sigh.
Kevin swallowed audibly, “Just thinking. I know this isn’t the right time but where do you think we’re going?”
“I don’t know about you but I think we could have something good together. Why don’t we just date a little at first?” Joey said with a smile.
“That sounds great.” Kevin leaned in and gently kissed Joey.
The kiss quickly turned passionate and started to get out of control. His tongue explored every inch of Joey’s mouth, taking, owning and possessing.
“Excuse me guys.” Brian said with a smirk as Kevin looked up and glared at him.
“Chill, Cuz. I just thought you might want to know that we’re going to the hospital in ten.” Brian said with a small laugh.
“Okay, we’ll be ready. Nsync meeting us to go?” Kevin replied ignoring Brian’s smirk.
“Yeah, apparently they’ve found a journal of Lance’s they think will help him remember.” Brian said as he left, closing the door behind him.
“Nick, you ready?” Brian asked as he banged on Nick’s door, hearing only breathless moans.
“We’ll be out in five.” Howie answered, making Nick groan in protest from the sudden loss of suction.
Looked like he had the great joy of waking up all the gay couples today Brian thought as he replied, “Okay, we’re meeting Nsync in ten and then going the hospital. Just hurry up whatever you’re doing in there.”
*******
“Hey Lance. How you doing today?” Chris asked as they walked into the hospital room.
“Not to be rude but who are you?” Lance said looking at the hyper man in confusion.
“He’s in Nsync with you, his name is Chris.” AJ said quietly noticing the looks everyone was giving him.
“Oh yeah, them.” Lance said dismissively, not noticing the worried looks in the eyes of the rest of Nsync.
“We found this in your room.” JC said handing the journal over to Lance.
Lance immediately glared at them, he knew that he had hidden the book. They could only find it if they were rooting through his things. He started checking the contents, relieved to see that everything appeared to be there.
“How are you two?” Howie said with a grin as he walked in, immediately noticing the tension in the room.
Lance said with a grin, “We’re good D. Although, Mr Stubborn over there caused his wounds to bleed.”
“You know you’re worse than Kevin.” AJ said playfully rolling his eyes.
“Where’s Kaos? Let me guess you passed a video game on the way and he got hooked,” Lance said with a laugh.
“Hey, I’m not that bad!” Nick protested, thinking to himself that he liked Lance like this.
“Yeah right (!) I remember when we where at your house, you didn’t stop playing for five hours!” AJ interjected with a laugh.
“Is Kev still in bed with that Joey guy?” Lance asked as Brian walked in.
“Nah, they’re downstairs. They mentioned something about balloons.” Brian replied, noticing that Nsync looked like they where feeling left out.
“How did you get up this early, Nick? Let me guess Howie woke you up.” Lance grinned impishly.
Nick just blushed slightly and glared at Lance who laughed, as did the other Backstreet members. Nsync just looked at Lance in confusion, unable to understand the sudden change in Lance’s personality.
“So what are your names?” Lance said, turning to look at the JC and Justin who were looking at Lance in shock.
“I’m Justin but you always call me Curly or J.” Justin said angry at the camaraderie between Backstreet and Lance.
JC said with a grin, “I’m Josh but you call me Jayce.”
“Excuse me, can everyone apart from Mrs Bass leave?” Dr Smith said as she walked into the room.
*******
“Feel like telling us something?” Justin hissed at Nick, it was obvious from the way Nick had acted that he had spent time with Lance before.
Nick snarled, “Okay, I knew about them, but it wasn’t my place to tell.”
“Calm down, love.” Howie said softly as he put one hand on Nick’s shoulder.
“You knew, as well?” Chris asked looking at Howie with betrayal in his eyes.
Howie said reasonably, “Yeah, we double date sometimes. Look, they asked us to keep it a secret.”
“Stop fighting! Our friends are in there injured and you’re acting like spoilt brats!” Kevin said angrily, he didn’t even have to raise his voice.
“I’m sorry but this has been a little trying.” Howie said quickly, not wanting to get on Kevin’s bad side. He grinned when he noticed the way Joey was hovering at Kevin’s side. It looked like Lance was right about them!
Part 5
“So when are we getting out of here?” Lance asked ignoring the shouting from the corridor, obviously the Nsync guys didn’t like his friends.
“That depends on you, as long as you don’t go strolling around the hospital again and give your body a chance to heal you’ll be out within a week.” Dr Smith said giving AJ a meaningful look.
AJ sighed and said honestly, “You don’t have to worry, doc. Now that we’re in the same room there’s no need for me to go searching the hospital.”
Dr Smith said apologetically, “Mr Bass, I’ve spoken to Dr Merchant and we agree that at the moment we just don’t know if you will ever regain your memories. The best thing I can suggest is that you spend time with Nsync and listen to the music it might jog your memory.”
Lance smiled, “I’ll ask D to bring in a Nsync CD. Alex opened his stitches earlier, will he be okay?”
“From what the nurse has told me everything appears to be okay,” The doctor replied seriously.
Dylan walked into the room and said, “Sorry to interrupt but there has been a twelve car pile up. All docs needed on deck!”
“I’ll have to go, but if either of you have any problems or questions just ask someone to give me a page,” Dr Smith said smiling at her patients.
Lance said with a grin, “Thanks, could you ask Howie and Nick to come in here?”
Dr Smith nodded and left the room. She walked down the corridor purposely, she had warned the singers not to cause trouble and they hadn’t listened.
Her voice deceptively sweet she said, “Your friends have just experienced a major trauma and they don’t need this right now. Stop being so selfish, you should be thinking about them not about yourselves!”
Kevin said charmingly, “I apologise for the rude behaviour, it won’t happen again.”
Dr Smith nodded as she walked away saying over her shoulder, “Oh, Lance asked if Howie and Nick could go in.”
Howie and Nick quickly headed to see their friends, happy to get away from Nsync. They could understand why the others didn’t like the fact that they had kept their friendship with Lance secret but it was hardly the time to get into an argument.
Kevin said in disgust, “I can’t believe you, Justin! How can you do this to them?”
“You don’t understand. They shouldn’t have kept it a secret!” Justin said stubbornly.
“Look, right now that doesn’t matter. Lance’s life has been turned upside down, imagine how he must feel,” Joey said seriously.
Justin declared angrily, “It wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t been in the car with AJ!”
Brian exclaimed shocked, “You’re jealous!”
Chris said, “Look, whatever feelings you have for Lance don’t matter. In case you’ve forgotten Lance is happily married.” He was shocked as he had never imagined Justin could have feelings for their green-eyed friend.
Justin shrugged, “He’s only happy because AJ’s been lying to him! If Lance knew what AJ was really like he wouldn’t be with him.”
Knowing that the injured couple couldn’t handle a jealous Justin as well as everything else Kevin said, “Maybe we should talk to them and then you’ll see that they’re the real thing. I get the feeling that Lance, wouldn’t get married unless he was sure it was a long-term relationship. Those two wouldn’t fuck around about something so important.”
*******
“You okay, Lance?” Nick asked as he walked in the room.
Lance laughed, “I’m okay as long as I’ve got Alex with me, you know that.”
“I’m sorry about all the shouting.” Howie said seriously not wanting to upset his friends.
AJ asked curious, “What happened?”
Nick shrugged, “Justin isn’t too happy that we’re friends.”
Howie said filling Lance in on the situation, “Chris was my friend in college, he’s not happy that I didn’t tell him about you two.”
“But I remember asking you to keep our relationship a secret when you came round to my place.” Lance said with a grin.
Howie commented with a smirk, “I think they were a little unhappy to find out about you two by catching you kissing.”
Nick laughed, “I was just shocked that you weren’t a little more careful, but if something happened to Howie I would do the same thing. I bet Kev will give you a lecture about it.”
“What a surprise (!) Kev has a lecture for everything,” Lance said rolling his eyes.
