“What about his job? Can he go back to it?�?
“Well, he can try. But … he's been away for four or five days and he hasn't called in to say he would be sick. And if they phoned his wife to find out if he was OK, then they still wouldn't know because she didn't know.�? He stopped for a minute. “Maybe … maybe I can get a medical certificate. From the doctor who examined him. I dunno. It's going to come out some time. And when it does, his employers won't take it well.�?
“But it's not his fault!�? cried Jason.
“They won't give this as the reason. Oh, no! They'll say he wasn't doing his job properly or something. And in the office …. His mates will start avoiding him.�?
“Well …�? Jason paused for a think, “ ...what about getting a certificate anyway. Just in case he does want to keep his job. And maybe it won't come out for a while by which time they'll have forgotten that he took four days off. And anyway, two of those days were on the weekend.�?
“That just makes it look as if he took a long weekend.�?
“Yeah. I don 't know what to do.�?
“Well, first, phone the doctor. Get him to post you a certificate.�? When Luigi hesitated, Jason prodded him in his rock hard tummy. “Go on, gayboy. Make yourself useful!�?
