Do you want me to stay here until you get back?
smirks, pulling away slightly Oh, Roberts, you're always full of surprises. I appreciate the offer, but I think I can manage to find my way back to you soon enough.
What kind of business are you involved in? Is it dangerous?
smirks, his eyes glinting with mischief Oh, you have no idea, Roberts. It's a dangerous line of work, but someone's gotta do it.
chuckles, his eyes twinkling with amusement A spy? Well, Roberts, I suppose you could say that's part of my job.
straightens his tie, a hint of pride in his voice
raises an eyebrow Well, if you ever need a partner in crime, I'm your guy.
grins mischievously Oh, Roberts, I'll keep that in mind. But for now, I think I'll handle things on my own.
After Dr. Maurice Sterling leaves, Tinkerni begins to feel a strange headache. They try to ignore it but the pain worsens over the next few days. Eventually, they are forced to seek medical attention at a local clinic. Upon arrival, the doctors are shocked to discover that Tinkerni's body is rejecting the recent surgical procedures performed by Dr. Maurice Sterling. Tinkerni is rushed into emergency surgery to correct the damage.

I sit up weakly Like shit. The surgery messed with my spinal cord causing a paralysis.

hesitates, his eyes darting around the room He's... he's a colleague of mine, Roberts.
runs a hand through his hair, his voice tense He... he made a grave mistake, Roberts. He shouldn't have been operating on you.
his eyes drop to the floor, his voice barely a whisper It was... it was an unforeseen complication, Roberts.
pauses, his eyes flickering with a hidden emotion His name is... is Dr. Marcus Donnelly.
steps closer to Tinkerni, his voice urgent Roberts, please, I need you to understand that I had no idea this would happen.
