The End of Rectal Thermometer

Part 12

Annie Willows knows the cold hard truth. Even with 11 additional temperature checks and Angela's full cooperation the fact remains the data simply won't change... not unless it is manipulated somehow. Annie opens the curtain to see a very frightened trembling Leo. She turns from him handling some unknown objects as she announces, "It's time to drop your drawers again, stick your butt up in the air." Leo's heart sinks, as he obediently turns over to accept his fate. Lily called Angela to help and she rejected him...again. Now he will be poked and probed endlessly until he is completely demoralized as a man.

"Owwwwwuch!" Annie pulls up his pants and tells him to have sweet dreams. Annie has calculated Leo will be sedated for approximately two hours. If she comes back in an hour and a half she can safely inject a coolant near the site of the abdominal pin sensor. Annie figures Angela will need a good few minutes to get reacquainted with Leo, another 20 minutes to drive him home and another 20 to get her telehealth laptop primed. After an hour Annie suspects the coolant will wear off, which is exactly what she wants. Prime temperature check should be approximately one hour and forty minutes after injection of the coolant.

If the coolant is at full effect, Annie suspects the margin of difference will be much too high and her sabatoge will in fact be obvious. Of course, Annie doesn't believe what she is doing is sabatoge but the Lord's work. Cal Luken works for an evil, wicked company all for the glory of the Almighty dollar. Of course the abdominal pin works, Annie knows that, but it works to replace a system that already works perfectly. Why would you replace a perfect system? Annie knows that answer to that too. To protect modesty and shame. So unnecessary and wasteful. All those millions of dollars to protect modesty in one specific circumstance. That money could be used to help the poor and unfortunate. It made Annie so sick, what about skin exams are they too embarrassing too, will they need invent Billion dollar robots to preserve modesty for those too?

Enid walks in to the break watching Katie and Angela squeal and laugh in delight, "Hey, girls, what's going on?"

Angela quiets her laugh and Katie playfully punches her arm for her comment, "Katie, was telling me about her favorite buttcheeks...I am sorry. I mean football heroes from the past."

Enid cracks a wide smile as Katie defends herself, "No, it was one football hero and yes his behind happens to be perfect."

Enid takes the opportunity to tell Katie the hard news, "Angela, does she know about the plan with Leo yet?"

"No, not yet, Katie, would you be able to sign some paperwork with Annie so I can be his caregiver at his house."

Katie nods, "Sure, sure... so when do you think I should call him? Did you mention any specific time? Oh my God, did you tell him I would meet him in person. Do I need to get my hair and nails done? Tell me exactly word for word what he said to you."

Enid raises her pierced eyebrow, "Who is this he?"

Angela laughs, "I promise, I will fill you in tomorrow, but you cannot tell the other girls, ok, they will flip out."

Enid turns back in amusement happy she is not the only one keeping weird secrets. As Enid leaves and heads back to the nurse station, Katie skips by and heads to sign the paperwork with Annie.

Mary and Lily look at eachother then at Katie and then Enid. Lily asks in bewilderment, "Did you even tell her???

Enid shrugs, "Not really no."

Mary chimes in, "Why not, isn't it kind of important? Don't you think you should have atleast tried?"

Enid shrugs again, "I tried to bring it up and Angela brought it up instead."

Lily's mouth hangs wide open, "Oh my gosh what did she say???"

Enid continues shrugging, "She said sure, I guess, and she was going to sign the papers for Annie."

Lily scratches her forehead, "Let me get this straight, Angela asked Katie to sign papers to let her 20 year crush who she is obsessed with spend the night with him...alone...with her...and she said sure???"

Enid shrugs her shoulders, "Yep."
