Joseph looked down at the scrap of paper in his hand, then up at the house in front of him. He nodded to himself once then knocked on the door. He didn't really want to be here. He wanted to be sat down eating his Aunt's pancakes, not stuck checking out some kids hunting wound. The sound of clattering came from within the house, Joseph stood back expectantly, the door opened to a large man, most of his forearms and hands covered in blood. "Um. Hi. I'm Richard's nephew. You wanted me to check out your brother's wound?" The man nodded frantically.
"Yeah, he's on the sofa. Please hurry."
Joseph smiled briefly and stepped into the living room. It was not a pretty sight. The boy couldn't be older than 12, his bandages were blanketing the floor, and his eyes were glazed.
"Fuck me sideways..." He went over to the boy and tapped his face. "Hey buddy, anyone in there? Hello?" He got a weak nod in response. He looked over at what he could only assume was the boy's mother.
"The wound's infected. I need something to clean the wound, fresh bandages, and some antibiotics for his bandages.
"We have some bandages, but I don't have the money to buy anything else". Joseph nodded solemnly.
"But some other people came through town not too long ago, they might have some of the stuff you need." Joseph's eyes lit up. "Which way did they go?" The woman pointed out past the houses. "They went out towards the old mineshaft". "OK. I'll be back as soon as I can."
Joseph exited the house and looked down at the small device on his wrist, as he was walking. He upped the voltage to 30 and looked around him. Clear streets. He smiled and pressed the shock button. He felt the electricity surge through his body, the volts making his finger tips tingle, and the world slow down. In a burst of speed, he shot through the streets of Nobles, heading directly for the mineshaft.
