either.”
    Tuck left the pleasant sur roundings of the waiting room and walked to the intake desk.
    “ Can I use your phone, please?”
    “ There is a payphone in the lobby.”  The intake worker didn’t bother to lift her head. 
    Thanks for the help .  Tuck didn’t normally play the law enforcement card, but he didn’t want to walk clear across the hospital lot to get his cell phone.  He pulled out his wallet and showed her his badge.
    “ Can I use your phone?  I’d use my cell but it’s across the parking lot and this is time sensitive.” 
    She picked up her ph one.  “What’s the number?” 
    Tuck relayed it.  She passed him the phone.
    “Department of Public Safety.”  Kevin, the Green dispatcher, chirped friendly as ever.
    “ Kevin, do you ever have a day off?”
    “ Living the dream man.  How the hell are you?  I heard you got pretty messed up on that rescue.”
    “ Nothing a couple of staples didn’t fix.”
    “ Jesus.”
    “ Can you do me a favor?  Run Darren Caldwell, about thirty five years old, see if he has any warrants.”
    Kevin typed away on his computer.
    “We have….one for unpaid fines and fees…one for unpaid fine and fees….one for more unpaid fines and fees.  Hmmm, see a trend here?  He’s got about $1800 bail on all three warrants.  Nice.”
    “ He’s here in the waiting room of Newall Hospital.  Do you have their dispatch’s number?”
    “ Give me some credit, of course I do.  I’ll connect you with ‘em, hold on.”
    Tuck spoke with their dispatch center and they sent a pair of Newall officers whom arrived less than ten minutes later.  Tuck waited outside the ER entrance door and greeted officers Jensen and Tyrone.  They followed Tuck to the waiting room where he nodded in the dirt bag's direction.  They too were familiar with him.
    “ Darren.”  Tyrone approached him on the left, Jensen on the right.  Tuck stayed at the waiting room entrance.  “What are you up to tonight?”
    “ I fucking knew it!”  He stood and pointed his finger at Tuck.  “You dirty fucking pig!”
    "Are you here for treatment?"  Tyrone asked.
    "I’m fucking here because my wife cut her hand and needs stitches, can’t you pigs leave me alone!"
    “ Darren, make this easy on yourself. Don’t make a scene.  We have three warrants for your arrest for unpaid fines.  Turn around and put your hands behind your back.”  Tyrone ordered nicely.
    “ Fuck you.”  He puffed his chest out. 
    “ Last warning, turn around, hands behind your back.”  Jensen warned.
    “ Fuck you!  If you want me, here I am!  Come fucking get me!”  He hit his chest with a balled up fist mimicking a gorilla.
    “ Have it your way.”  Tyrone said.
    Darren tried to charge his way through them.  Jensen and T yrone scuffled with him, Tuck joining in the fray.  Chance came out from the exam area to see them rolling around on the floor together. 
    “ Stay back.”  Tuck warned Chance and the nurse.  Not that they needed to be told to stand back, it wasn’t their first reaction to dive into a brawl with a dirty meth user.
    “ Sit your ass down now, or you’ll be next!”  Jensen yelled to the dirt bag woman who stood and took a step their way.  She continued.  With his left hand, Jensen pulled out his Taser.  Too bad he hadn’t been as quick to pull it on Darren.  “Now!  Sit your fat ass down!”  The chair wobbled when she swiftly retook it.
    “ Stop resisting!”  Tuck ordered.
    The nurse held Chance at a safe distance.
    “Ahhhhgg, stop!  Stop fucking hurting me!  Assholes!  Police brutality!”  Jensen and Tuck each held an arm while Tyrone cuffed his hands. 
    “ Do we need to get leg wraps and hog tie you, or are you going to cooperate?”  Jensen asked.  Tuck had him firmly pressed to the ground, knee is his back.  Jensen had the same position on the opposite side.
    “ Fuck you!”
    “ Hog tie time.”  Tyrone jogged back to the cruiser and grabbed
