Practice Makes Perfect
Jack takes his arms from around Owen, saying, “Not bad. Technique could use a little work, but it gets results, so I’m not complaining.”
“As long as you get your results you don’t care,” Owen says dryly, checking the gun and the target, apparently pleased with the session.
“Never used a gun before?” Jack asks, going back to the table and settling down on the edge, rapidly putting one of the other guns together and then taking it apart again, purely to give his hands something to do.
“Not much call for them in the hospital,” says Owen in response, and swaps his gun for another, then returns to the targets and gets right to the point of pulling the trigger, aiming squarely at the paper Weevil before he asks, “Mind if I carry on?”
Jack looks up at him and tilts his head a little, and says, “Go ahead. You’re gonna miss that one, though.”
Owen snorts and tells him where to shove his opinions, then takes the shot. The bullet clips the edge of the target, well outside the point zones, and Jack laughs quietly as Owen frowns at his gun, then clicks on the safety catch and sights along the barrel, trying to find some twist in the gun to account for the miss.
“Here,” Jack says, putting aside his pistol and moving back over to Owen. “The trick with that one is it pulls a little to the right. Sights are as close as they get, though.” He presses up against Owen’s back and adjusts his aim, adding, “Try now.”
The shot takes the Weevil right through the heart.
“Good,” says Jack, grinning. “As long as you get into trouble with me around to hold you, you should be okay.”
“Fuck off,” Owen laughs, elbowing him in the chest, and Jack backs off, still grinning.
Owen practices a little more, and this time he’s close to the centre of the targets. By the time he calls it quits he’s not doing badly at all, and Jack’s dismantled and reassembled each gun at least twice. He praises Owen’s progress, trades a few friendly insults, and decides that the doctor’s first week has gone pretty well, all told.
When they get back upstairs and Owen’s gone, Jack finds Toshiko still at her computer. It’s a fair bet she’s been watching the CCTV – she’s almost green with envy, and he pauses a moment, considering. It’s been three weeks since she started, and while she hasn’t had to use a gun out in the field yet, it’s probably in everyone’s best interests if she stays in good practice. Besides, he doesn’t mind keeping her here a little longer tonight.
“Hey, Tosh,” he says, and she looks up quickly. “Want a refresher session?”
Slowly, she smiles.
