After putting the bucket down, Leroy pokes his head out the door looking for a clock. Not seeing one, he turns to Samantha. "Excuse me, Ms Walton but I need to go pick some things up from home. I'll be back in five to six minutes.."
"Good. I'll start the stitching now. You might feel a bit of tugging. Just keep your leg nice and relaxed for me, just like that, and let me know if you feel anything and especially if it hurts, OK?" Samantha picks up her needle and suture and begins working.
"Sure thing, Mr. Jenkins. I should have Vera ready for you by then. Sandy!"
"Yes, Mom?"
"Show Mr. Jenkins out, will you? Oh, and give those bloods on the bench there to Kandi while you're out there. Thanks." After the men have gone, Samantha turns back to Vera and begins chatting to her to distract her from the stitches being inserted.
"You're doing well. You're being very brave. You're lucky you haven't injured the muscle at all. That makes my job and yours a lot easier. I'll put a bandage on you when I'm done here to help keep the wound clean but I'll need you to keep it dry and don't go walking on it for a couple of days either, just so the stitches can take. Have you ever been on crutches before?"
Vera shook her head, unsure of what crutches even are.. Are they those things some humans have on their teeth?
Leroy nods to Samantha and follows Sandy out the building.
As soon as Sandy left him outside he hops straight into the car and off down the road to the park..

He gets there in almost record time under the speed-limit, and parks up right where he had dropped Aron and Leslie off.
They were nowhere to be seen. Had he come too early? Where were they?
Just as he was about to get out and look for them, Aron appeared from behind a bush, Leslie close behind, still talking.
"
Hey! Come on, slowcoaches!" Leroy shouts out the window, a slight nervous grin on his face.
"
Hi Leroy, are we a little late?" Aron asks, pulling open the rear door for Leslie to get in.
"
Nah, we're a little early for it I think. Oh, you'll have a surprise when we get there too.." Leroy said, checking his mirrors.
"
Oh, great.. What? An extra-large lollipop?" Aron said sarcastically, strapping Leslie in once he hopped on board.
"
Oh, don't be like that.. It's not that bad.." Leroy says, leaning over and opening the passenger door for Aron.
"
Riight.. We'll see.." Aron murmured, getting in.

Exchanging her now bloody pair of gloves for a clean pair, Samantha squirts some alcohol onto a swab and carefully wipes around the wound to remove all traces of blood and after patting it dry with a paper towel, wraps a bandage around the leg.
"There. How's that feel? Any pain at all?" After cleaning up her mess and washing her hands, Samantha pulls a jar of lollipops out of the cupboard and offers it to Vera.
Vera looked a little puzzled at the jar of lollipops, unsure of how to respond. She picked one out anyway, even though she didn't know what it was.
"
I hardly feel my leg at all, and uh, I still feel a little sleepy.." She murmurs, twirling the lollipop in her paw. "
..Do the crutches hurt? I don't even know if I need them.."
(Ooc: Late, I know.. Real life stuff got in the way.)
