Kate quickly confirmed that the lab technician was OK as the escaped creature was safely removed and contained. She then stormed out pinching her nose and calling out over her shoulder that she wanted a full report on how this had happened.
Several staff tried to stop Kate as she left but she dismissed their concerns and headed straight for her private office. Sitting down at her desk she wiped at her nose with a tissue. Blood droplets falling and hitting parts of her desk and floor.
A few moments later Christofer barged into her office and saw her huffing to herself. "Kate..."
"Look at the state of this I've got blood on these documents now, they'll have to be redone. Christ and there's blood on my shoes, that won't come out these are my favourites and..."
"Kate! Stop worrying about your shoes! You need to get checked over"
"Oh I'm fine it's just a nose bleed it'll stop, its nothing, look at this mess though, are my spare shoes behind you in that cupboard? oh no they might be in my locker..."
"Kate! Stop. It isn't nothing. You grappled a volatile alien away from a lab technician and got slammed into the ground!" Kate tried to interrupt but Christofer continued "Your nose is bleeding, you have a cut on your cheek, a black eye coming, and you haven't moved your arm, you've been holding it to you since you got up. And you're worried about your shoes?! "
"Well they were really nice shoes" Kate responded but Chris glared at her, he wasnt going to let her make light of this and dimiss the attention she needed.
Kate sighed "Look I've dealt with worse, I'll pop down to medical later"
"Or you could let the medic in who I've got waiting in the corridor, and do exactly what they advise"
Kate took a steadying breath and narrowed her eyes "fine, I'll see the medic...but only if you go down to my locker and get my other shoes"
