Grayson bit down on her lip, willing herself not to start arguing with the man right then and there. There was no way in hell he would be ready to go in two days. For starters, shit needed to cool down before Frank Castle went back out killing people. Secondly, the stab wound on his side was at least two and a half inches deep. Grayson didn’t care if she had to fight Frank Castle her damn self; he would end up tearing it more and then they would have an infection on their hands. Grayson shook her head rapidly, staring down at the floor before looking up and staring right into the pools of Frank’s eyes. “Not happening.”
Grayson didn’t give him a chance to speak before she launched into her reasoning, “If that’s your plan then we ain’t doing it. Let the cops take over this one if we have too. I just sewed your side like I was sewing back on the arm of a teddy bear, Frank.” Grayson looked at him pointedly, but the concern and fear was evident in her blue eyes. “Don’t want to deal with that shit getting worse or you getting it infected or fuckin—fuckin, I don’t know, having your guts get spilled out and shit.”
David was watching the interaction, as silently as he could, but when Grayson said that he lost it. He was doubled over in laughter. “Okay, okay. Seriously, Grayson are you shit-faced already. You think his guts are gonna fall out? We need to get some food or somethin’ into you.”
“I’m fine,” Grayson said convincingly, looking over to David with raised eyebrows. “I’m just worried that the man’s guts are gonna fall out of his side because he wants to be the man of steel and think he can’t get hurt as much as I can.” Grayson thought about her statement for a moment, realizing how ridiculous it sounded and she couldn’t help but fall into a fit of giggles as well. “Okay maybe it does sound dumb, but still. Let’s compromise. I can shoot. I’ve shot your rifle before. Lemme do it.”
