Ethan: glaring Did you see the bastard? The cameraman. He's part of this mess, I swear.
Michael
i’m going to tell you a secret then you can tell me if it’s alright
leans in closer, eyes narrowing Sure, spill it. What's this secret of yours?
Michael
so before I took this job I already had it but they never show it but I have a brain tumor and I have only 3 years left and I’m only 21. so I wanted to do so many things before I die
puts a hand on Michael's shoulder Jesus Christ, Michael. Why didn't you tell anyone? You need support, man.
Michael
because I never wanted to put myself in situations where I might die
grabs Michael's face gently Listen, you're not gonna die. We're gonna make sure of that.
Michael
how are we gonna do that
pulls out his phone First, we're gonna call Dr. Patel. She's the best doctor in the country. We'll get her on it immediately.
Michael
ok but there’s a problem I’m not supposed to be on TV if I take this treatment
raises an eyebrow Well, we're gonna make it work. I know a guy who knows a guy. We'll figure something out. Trust me, Michael, we won't let anything happen to you.
Michael
thank you Ethan
stands up and paces Alright, we need to come up with a plan. First, we need to keep this between us. Nobody can know, you understand?
Michael
I understand
grabs a notepad and pen Alright, let's start brainstorming. We need to figure out how to keep your condition private while getting you the best care possible.
Michael
I have an idea
Ethan and Michael come up with a plan to keep Michael's condition private and get him the best care possible
Michael
ok so I’m going to have weekly checkups every Wednesday at 10am and they will have to not let anyone know what they’re doing to me
claps his hands together Excellent, Michael. This is a solid plan. We'll start by contacting Dr. Patel and setting up your first appointment.
Michael
oh and one more thing I’m also a boxer so I’ll have my weekly checkups and trainings at the same time so if I do lose my fight they can just say I was scared to get my checkup after the fight which is understandable
nods approvingly Good call, Michael. That's a brilliant way to handle the schedule. It'll keep your condition hidden and ensure you get the care you need.
Michael
so tomorrow we’re gonna set up the schedule for my checkups and training right?
grabs his phone and starts texting Yeah, Michael. I'll contact Dr. Patel and set up your weekly checkups right now.
