It's slim pickings for decent doctors on Westerley, and slimmer since Pawter's death. But Killjoys gonna killjoy, which in this case means they've still got warrants to fill, and, if you're Dutch, wars to fight. That also means, inevitably, that she's going to get banged up along the way.

The first time they meet Simon Tam was, actually, years ago. Level 3 warrant, what was supposed to be a simple job for Dutch and Johnny, easy payout. It would've been easy, if not for some ex-Company creeps, a dose of illegal human experimentation, and a very nasty situation for the Tams. It wasn't easy, but they got things sorted -- completed their warrant, saw the Tams to safety, and parted on decent enough terms. Those terms got better the next time they ran into each other, a year or two after that, when Johnny had a nasty leg gash that needed real medical expertise.

Today, it's Dutch stopping in for the good doctor's help. There's blood soaking into her sleeve (hers), and a bruise blossoming along her temple, but she still offers a smile.

"Knock knock."
