Bad memories were like malaria, they always came back and mostly at times when you didn't need them. He had his own memories to deal with, although up here they weren't so bad like down in the tunnel with Bull. When Maria asked him to help her he held the leg of the man and then he gave her a reassuring smile.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Don't worry, Maria. Her father and her brother were miners too, they died on the job, her brother in some bad accident while being full of drugs. It is the reason why she joined the MP and is so relentless. But she understands pretty well, what we have accomplished here and she knows that if her brother would have been in such an environment he may still live. Even if she finds me guilty of everything else, she would never say a word about the hospitals to her superiors. She understands that it is a good thing to have it. And by the way, I doubt she will tell anything about me either, once she leaves this place with me in six weeks."</span><br/><br/>Maria chuckled while her fingers moved carefully over the leg of the miner to look for broken bones. <br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF00">"You're quite a man, Vik, but don't overestimate your sexual attraction on her. She may like what you give her, but she has some strong will."</span><br/><br/>Peter chuckled too and then he lifted the miner up, when Maria told him that he had a broken bone and that he had to go into the room of Phil.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Oh, I know that she is falling for me hard, but that she is still troubled that I might be a bad guy. You know that I am no angel but far from a bad guy too. Once she understands that too, she will give into that love with all her heart. It may need some time, but it will happen. And she is a bright person, she will see what I am after and what I want to achieve. She already hates the UE guys for what they are doing. Once she understands that it isn't only the UE guys but the politicians and MP too, she will change side with flying colors. You will see..."</span><br/><br/>Peter walked over the hallway to the room of Phil and Alice. They were busy working, Phil aligning bones and Alice with already white hands was wrapping cast bandages around the limbs. She was so focused in her work that Peter didn't even speak to her. He just placed the guy on a stretcher Phil showed him and then he took a stretcher with an already finished patient to roll him to a room. The guy looked at Vic with wide eyes and then he turned his head to Phil. <br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF00">"Hey Doc, I thought in a hospital they have nice nurses to take care of you. I hope you don't expect me to let the Viking clean my private parts?"</span></div>
