Lou blinked rapidly to adjust to the bright lights above his bed. He slowly turned his head to take in his surrounding as he remembered what had happened to place him in the hospital. 'I got shot, I'm guessing.' He thought as he looked down to see the bandages wrapped around his upper right-hand chest and shoulder.

"You're awake, Mr. Young. How are you feeling?" A nurse asked as she stepped into the room.

"I'm a feeling alright." He told her as she stepped forward, letting him get a glimpse of her name tag. 'Nikka', it read.

"That's good. You were out all night, Mr. Young." She informed him, checking his bandages as he watched her, with her short brown hair held away from her face with a few clips.

"What happened to me?" he asked, watching her jot down a small note on her clipboard.

Nikka looked up, her blue eyes meeting his brown ones. "You were shot straight through the shoulder. You lost a bit of blood but you should be out of here in a day or two." He nodded as she finished jotting down notes on her clipboard. "Can I get you something to eat, Mr. Young?" she asked as she clipped the pen onto the clipboard.

"Could I get some food? I'm a little hungry." He confessed as his stomach growled loudly.

Nikka couldn't stop a smile from emerging on her face. "I'll bring some right in." She promised before leaving the room. She returned shortly, holding a tray full of hospital food. "Here you go, Mr.-"

Lou cut her off as he grabbed the tray from her hands, their fingers touching for a moment. "You could also call me Lou. And you're Nikka, right?" He asked her, noting how warm her hands were.

Nikka smiled at Lou as she replied. "Then Lou it is. And yes, it is Nikka. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Could you call my team? I'd bet they're worried about me." Lou asked as he dug into the hospital food. As cardboard like as it was, it was still food. "And ask them to bring some real food." He added as an afterthought.

Nikka laughed openly at that, and agreed. "I'll make sure to tell them." Nikka left the room to make the phone call to the SRU headquarters, leaving Lou to think. Nikka was pretty, no doubt about that. She had short brown hair, stunning blue eyes, light brown skin and was just a little bit shorter than him. She seemed interesting, he mused as the object of his thoughts stepped back into the room.

Nikka was also thinking about the new person she had met. Lewis 'Lou' Young was a handsome man around her age. He also had deep brown eyes and an amazing smile. "They're glad to hear from you, and promised to pop by later with Timmy's. Is there anything else I can do for you, Lou?"

Lou quickly decided what he was going to do. "I was wondering if you'd go out with me."

Nikka's breath froze in her throat for a moment before she managed to answer. "I have to decline, Lou. It's against hospital rules to fraternize with hospital patients. If that's all, I'll see you later." Nikka made a swift exit, not trusting herself to stay inside that room any longer. She slowed down a few doors away, and quietly damned that hospital rule. If it weren't for that rule, she would have taken him up on that offer.

Lou himself could easily tell what the answer would have been if not for..."Hospital rules, huh? I guess I'll be coming back here after I'm discharged." He murmured to himself as he relaxed against the pillow with a smile on his face.
