Jack catches the curious, appraising look that Cottle throws Renee's way, but he's not sure whether it's what she's saying or her tone that's caught Doc's interest.
"You should know better than to pull the knife out," he says, turning his attention back to Jack.
"I know, I didn't have a choice. I needed it," Jack grinds out between his teeth as Cottle prods the wound.
"I'm going to give you a local anaesthetic so I can see what's going on in there without cutting you open," Cottle says brusquely, grabbing a syringe from a drawer. "If things don't look good, then I'll have to knock you out."
Jack gives Cottle a tight smile. Cottle might not have much of a bedside manner, but Jack kind of likes it that way. "Stick to the local; we're in the middle of something."
"That's too bad, because this's going to knock you on your ass for a good half an hour," Cottle says, prepping the syringe. Once it's ready, he looks back over at Renee. "You staying for this? Because if you're not sure you can handle it, you'd probably better go now. Or at least grab a chair."
