The Vampire And the Paramedic
“Brooding all night, James had been striving to understand what he had done wrong. He had built the new emergency medical services station, purchased equipment and the ambulance. All of that should have been a signal that he appreciated things a certain way. The presentation of the Jeep was merely more of the same. And yet she had accused him of bribing her. Bribery! It had been years since he had had to bribe anyone.
Not since he was in the old country, where such greasing of palms was so commo...n. He prided himself on assimilating here in the United States and fitting into the social customs and norms that made polite society. Bribery was frowned upon. He understood that. So, how could that woman, that girl, tell him he was trying to bribe her? It was preposterous. James had just wanted to show his appreciation to the individual as well as the system that both, together, saved his vassal and friend. That should be an easy thing to do. No one at the Elk City Fire Department even blinked when he proposed to help fund a new ambulance station in an underserved section of town.MoreLess
