Jai had a problem. A huge abscess that sat right on towards the end of his buttock. He hid it from Rax and everyone else, until he decided to dress up like a gorilla to enter into the zoo for a scheme Rax thought up to retrieve a rare bird that should've been in the pet store. Unfortunately for Jai, Rax's kind, caring father, Jonah- a zoologist/veterinarian, mistook Jai in a gorilla suit as an actual gorilla who was due for its checkup. 

"Poor thing," Dr. Jonah cooed. "The scan shows a huge bump on this little guy's bottom." Jai's cheeks burned from those very words. The sugary affection of concern from the doctor worried Jai. But he was flipped over, and the buttock part of his costume was shaved. Fear laced through Jai like a lightning bolt. Orange cleansing solution was spread over his cheek by the nurse. The sound of latex gloves snapping and the clicks of loafer heels sent a shudder up Jai's spine. "Okay little buddy, we're gonna take a little looksie at that swollen bump." Jai tried to protest- wriggle himself from the sterile sheets placed over him. "Oh no, no little guy- just hold still and it'll all be over." Dr Jonah cooed as he was filling the syringe with lidocaine. "Maybe he'll need two shots- it's a big bump." Jai's eyes popped open from the sudden realization of the anticipated painful injections he was about to endure. The nurse restrained Jai's arms and legs. Rubbing his back, while Dr Jonah sprayed the bump with cool spray. He sprayed for nearly two minutes, hoping to numb some of the pain that would come from the shots.

Jai- feeling the cool numbness and tension- he still mentally prepared himself for the shots. "I'm going to stick you with two shots, buddy. You're going to feel some pinches, okay?" Dr Jonah's cooing made an unwanted safety sense float through him. It fluttered like warm butter sliding around in a mixing bowl full of cake batter. "Okay, one, two, three," And Dr Jonah poked the needle into the bump. A shrill wail eroded from Jai's cords. Wiggling and squeezing his toes and fingers as the needle pierced his cheek. "I know.... I know..." Dr Jonah cooed. "All done with the first one," he said, removing the needle. Flicking the other one, Dr Jonah focused it on tip of Jai's bump. A yelp scratched the walls of the room. Gently, the nurse rubbed Jai's back as Dr Jonah kept focus on the injection. "All done sweetie..." Dr Jonah wiped Jai's bottom a bit. "I'll let the medicine work around a little."

Jai spent the next few minutes recapturing his breaths for air. The thick pain of those needles knocked his breath from his lungs. "Alright.... I'm going to open the bump now and start the draining... you'll feel some pressure." Jai gasped as Dr Jonah's scalpel sliced through the bump. Pus shot out like a geyser. Collecting and soaking the sterile cotton wipes, Dr Jonah had to keep replacing them with new ones every few seconds. As the drain mellowed and some blood started to mix in, Dr Jonah decided that pushing down and adding some pressure to the bump to drain it would help. More pus oozed out along with Jai's grunts of pain. "So brave...." Dr Jonah said. "Bravest little gorilla ever." Jai could feel his cheeks sting with Dr Jonah's fingers pushing around the bump and squirting more pus out from the opening. Finally standing out of being exposed with his one cheek gaining attention from a well-meaning and caring doctor, made Jai finally feel the self- consciousness he anticipated to feel.

Feeling the pus trickle down his cheek and neatly smear over to the sterile sheet that separated his crack and other cheek from the infected one. The more Dr Jonah pushed around the cheek, the more muffled grunts and welps came from Jai. Sticking a qtip inside and collecting samples of pus, and then squirting saline inside the opening to help ooze more pus out from the bump, Jai wanted to bury his head into the earth. Jabbing another needle into the side of the opening, Dr Jonah took skin samples and then stuck his finger inside the opening. Jai squirmed and yelped as Dr Jonah's finger made its way around the abscess. "We're almost done! Just another peekie inside." Jai's cheeks felt numb from the embarrassment and pain. "Just as I suspected, another pus pocket. We'll have to drain that one too to make sure the infection doesn't return." Dr Jonah ushered for the nurse to rub Jai's back, except with more force. 

The lidocaine didn't reach too far inside from the inflammation, so Dr Jonah took a deep breath and brokenheartedly, stuck his finger deep inside the incision and jabbed at the pocket and let the pus roll over his finger. Jai shrieked, making Dr Jonah apologetic. "I'm so sorry, Champ... I know this isn't fun." The pus came out in buckets, soaking through the sterile sheets and pads.

Jai didn't even feel the packing and then the stitches. Plopping a bandage across the left and one across the right, it made a perfect X over Jai's stitches. The bump- much smaller and less painful than before- although Jai was sore at Raxton for putting him through that. He would get his revenge for the embarrassing procedure. And he knew it would involve his father, Dr Jonah.
