Jacob dio un suspiro, "como sea" dijo, mientras abría la puerta, dejando pasar al anciano. "Noe esta al fondo en su habitación", le dijo al viejo.
"NOE TIENES VISITAS!", Grito Jacob, mientras se dirigía a la cocina.
El anciano vio con desagrado a Jacob, era grosero y maleducado, nada comparado con el serio y respetuoso dragón.
"No sé cómo pudo mezclarse con esta gentuza" pensó el anciano mientras se dirigía a paso lento hacia la habitación de Noe.
Abrió la puerta y entro, y entonces abrió enormemente su ojo sorprendido, al ver en la cama semi sentado estaba Noe, desnudo aunque con apenas una cobija cubriendo sus genitales. Pero eso no era lo que le había sorprendido al viejo Ricardo. Lo que le sorprendió fue ver el estado del dragón, lleno de moretones, un ojo inflamando y una respiración agitada, casi forzada.
"Pero que rayos te paso muchacho!", dijo el hombre acercándose a Noe.
"Don Ricardo, b-buenos días, nada tuve un pequeño accidente... de tráfico, me... me aventó un carro y pues eh…, solo eso, pero no se preocupes, estoy bien, pero dígame que lo trae por aquí?, respondió Noe intentando cambiar el tema.
"mi... ya veo" dijo el viejo, "Pues los vecinos y yo estábamos preocupados, no hemos visto a Juanita, ni a tu muchacho Lot, en días, y solo veíamos a ese odioso oso entrar y salir de tu casa, por lo que decidimos investigar que todo estuviera en orden" dijo el anciano mientras tocaba la pierna de Noe.
"Oh, gracias por preocuparse Don, pero todo está bien", respondió Noe, haciendo un gesto de dolor al sentir como el viejo apretaba ligeramente su pierna.
"Y dime que te dijeron en el hospital?" pregunto el anciano mientras movía sus manos presionando ahora el muslo del dragón, lo que hizo que este soltara un ligero gemido de dolor.
"Puede por favor parar de hacer eso" dijo Noe con una voz agitada y algo molesto.
"Ya no eres un jovenzuelo muchacho" dijo mientras presionaba el abdomen del dragón" lo que hizo que este diera un alarido de dolor.
Jacob entro rápido a la habitación preguntando qué pasaba.
El anciano le hizo un gesto para que se acercara, Jacob lo hizo y entonces recibió un bastonazo en la cabeza nuevamente.
"Maldita sea!" dijo sobándose la cabeza.
"Donde esta Juanita, es obvio que un imbécil como tú no sabe que se debe de llevar al hospital a alguien en estas condiciones!", dijo el anciano presionando el pecho de Noe, haciendo que este se retuerza de dolor.
"Oiga no haga eso!" dijo Noe mientras se interponía entre el anciano y Noe.
"Si no se le trata adecuadamente puede tener secuelas importantes, necesita ser tratado por un profesional, y por cómo te veo, tú tienes de profesional lo que yo de joven", dijo haciendo aun lado al oso con el bastón.
"Llamare para que vengan por ti" le dijo a Noe.
Este se negó rotundamente, y le pidió que por favor se retirara de su casa, que él se recuperaría a su manera.
Entonces el anciano presiono su pecho ligeramente lo que hizo que Noe, jadeara de dolor.
"Tienes un par de costillas rotas, las piernas están bien, ese ojo hay que desinflamarlo" dijo el anciano, "tu inútil" le dijo a Jacob, "sirve de algo y ve a mi casa, hay encontraras un maletín café justo en la entrada, date prisa" concluyo.
Noe se le quedo viendo con cara molesta, "que se cree este anciano demente", pensó.
"Si no quieres ir al hospital está bien, pero esas heridas te las voy a tratar, ahora mismo", dijo el anciano.
"Que acaso usted se cree doctor o qué?" dijo Jacob más como burla, y estuvo a punto de recibir otro bastonazo, pero esta vez lo esquivo.
"50 años en el servicio médico, exdirector del hospital de especialidades san buena aventura, para que lo sepas, tu barrendero!", dijo despectivamente.
"Óigame yo..." trato de replicar Jacob molesto, pero lo interrumpió el anciano.
"Ahora ve, y no tardes, estas heridas no son de un accidente de tráfico, tus nudillos me dicen más de lo que cualquiera de los dos puede decir, no me interesa meterme en sus asuntos personales, pero no pienso dejar a este tonto así, ahora vete" dijo Ricardo mientras continuaba examinando el cuerpo de Noe, el cual se quejaba.
Noe...
--------
Jacob sighed, "whatever," he said, as he opened the door, letting the old man pass. "Noah is in the back of his room," he told the old man.
"NOE YOU HAVE GUESTS!" Jacob yelled as he headed for the kitchen.
The old man looked at Jacob with displeasure, he was rude, nothing compared to the serious and respectful dragon.
"I don't know how he was able to blend in with this crowd," the old man thought as he walked slowly toward Noe's room.
He opened the door and went in, his eyes widened, surprised at him, seeing Noe semi-sitting on the bed, naked, although with just a blanket covering his genitals. But that was not what had surprised old Ricardo. What surprised him was to see the state of the dragon, full of bruises, a swollen eye, and heavy almost forced breathing.
"What the hell happened to you, boy!" Said the man approaching Noe.
"Don Ricardo, b-good morning, nothing, I had a small traffic accident, I... a car hit me and well eh... just that, but don't worry, I'm fine, but tell me what you're bringing here?", Noe replied trying to change the subject.
"I... I see" said the old man, "Well, the neighbors and I were worried, we haven't seen Juanita, nor your boy Lot, in days, and we only saw that hateful bear go in and out of your house, so we decided to investigate that everything was in order," said the old man while touching Noah's leg.
"Oh, thanks for worrying Don, but everything's fine," Noe replied, wincing as he felt the old man squeeze his leg slightly.
"And tell me what did they tell you at the hospital?" asked the old man as he moved his hands now pressing the dragon's thigh, which made it let out a slight moan of pain.
"Can you please stop doing that?" Noe said with an agitated and somewhat annoyed voice.
"You're not a youngster anymore, boy," he said as he pressed on the dragon's abdomen, "causing it to yelp in pain.
Jacob quickly entered the room asking what was wrong with him.
The old man gestured for him to come closer, Jacob did, and then he received a cane to the head again.
"Dammit!" he said, rubbing his head.
"Where is Juanita, it's obvious that an idiot like you doesn't know that he should take someone in these conditions to the hospital!" Said the old man pressing Noe's chest, causing him to writhe in pain.
"Hey, don't do that!" Noe said as he stepped between the old man and Noe.
"If it is not treated properly, it can have serious consequences, it needs to be treated by a professional, and from how I see you, you are as professional as I'm very young," he said, putting the bear aside with the cane.
"I'll call to have them come for you," he told Noe.
He flatly refused and asked him to please leave his house, that he would recover in his own way.
Then the old man pressed his chest lightly which made Noe gasp in pain.
"You have a couple of broken ribs, your legs are fine, that eye needs to be deflated," said the old man, "you worthless," he told Jacob, "it's worth something and goes to my house, you'll find a brown briefcase right in the entrance, hurry up" he concludes.
Noe stared at him with an annoyed face, "what does this crazy old man think he is", he thought.
"If you don't want to go to the hospital, that's fine, but I'm going to treat those wounds right now," said the old man.
"Do you think you are a doctor or what?" Jacob said more like a mockery, and he was about to receive another blow, but this time he dodged.
"50 years in the medical service, former director of the San Buena Aventura Specialty Hospital, just so you know, your street sweeper!" he said dismissively.
"Listen, I..." Jacob tried to reply annoyed, but the old man interrupted him.
"Now go, and don't be late, these injuries are not from a traffic accident, your knuckles tell me more than either of us can say, I don't want to get involved in his personal affairs, but I'm not going to leave this fool like this, now go," Ricardo said as he continued examining Noe's body, which was complaining.
Noah...
