Leaving Lex and Siva's room, heading toward and arriving at the hospital

[sheriff_lex]

Lex thought more and more about a stag party for Bray. He was tired of sitting around in his room. He remembered about the case of champagne in his room, but wasn't too keen on sharing. I suppose I could bring one or two I guess, besides, wasn't there some alcohol in the hospital? Maybe I can just hit the hospital before I go and look for Bray.

"Yeah I'm in here." Patch replied softly to Lex after a pause. "The alcohol's in the back; you know where it is."

Patch watched Lex carefully a few moments while remaining in his corner. He was in no mood for a party and would probably ruin such an event but maybe he could help a little and then sneak off before the party began. He needed to feel useful, but also needed to be alone with his thoughts.

Lex barely heard Patch's voice as he walked through the hospital. "Hey there Patch!" Lex continued on his mission to get the alcohol from the cabinet. Nothing can sway me from this one. "Where ya hiding kiddo?" Lex went to the back of the room and headed toward the rolling cabinet. He knew that the things he needed were somewhere in there, but out of the sight of the general public. As Lex was rummaging around through the bottles, he mentioned the potential stag party for Bray. "Patch I was thinkin' about holding this stag party thing for Bray, you know, being the nice guy that I am. Wanna come?" Lex wasn't too concerned whether Patch did or did not come; he didn't have time to be counselor. Lex continued being focused getting his goods

Patch nodded at Lex's question. "Yeah..... Women...." He shook his head with this last statement and sighed. "Why do we bother trying to understand them?" Of course Dee was only part of the reason he was upset, but he couldn't tell Lex the rest of it - about feeling weak and useless. Lex would not understand and Patch did not want to admit those thoughts.

"I'm in no mood for a party Lex.... Would probably ruin it anyways..." Patch was feeling sorry for himself again, still. "Besides I have work to do..." No he didn't. He was just making excuses but why? It would be good for him to get out of the hospital, but he refused for now.

Lex was glad to see that at least Patch was talking. He knew there was still hope to get him to the party. "Listen Patch, it's like I always say, ..if you control the woman, she can't control you. See, that's what I always try to do, why do you think I have Siva in the palm of my hand? She adores me. Let me give you some advise Patch...don't give them an inch to work with. The minute you do, they'll be walkin' all over ya." Lex knew he was pretty much spouting off a great big line of bs, but he could never blow his cover as the smoothest sheriff around. Boy, thank God Siva isn't around when that comment came out of my mouth, she probably wouldn't have talked to me for days."Patch, it's not doing you any good to sit around her and feel sorry for yourself. Sure, it might seem like a good idea now, but we've got the guys, the liquor, the cards, and best of all..freedom from the women for one whole night. How many times does that happen Patch?" Lex knew he would have to be as convincing as ever to get Patch out to the game. "Ok
