Trudy paced the room nervously. Her husband was in the hospital. A bullet was lodged deep into his chest and now he was having surgery to get it out.

"I know how you're feeling," Leland told her

She was so distracted though she didn't even hear him.

((Flashback))

Trudy was supposed to fly out and meet a friend of hers she hadn't seen since she was 19 years old. This proved to be impossible however due to certain circumstances. Adrian could tell she was disappointed. Figuring that out wasn't a matter of detective work. It was a matter of common sense.

She tried to pretend she wasn't disappointed but he wasn't even pretending to believe that.

"It's okay to be disappointed," he told her

"I know," she said, "but I'm… I mean okay I'm a little disappointed sure but I know that I'll see her again"

"Of course you will," he told her as a slow smile spread across his face

She didn't say a word but she knew Adrian was up to something.

Later that day Adrian had gone out. Leland stopped by to see how she was holding up.

"I think," she told him, "Adrian has something up his sleeve besides his arm. He's been acting mysterious all day. Has he told you anything?"

"No but how is he acting mysterious," Leland asked

"Well I said about my friend that I know I'll see her again and a slow smile spreads across his face like he has an idea. He starts acting all mysterious. Later I heard him on the phone but when I came into the room he said goodbye and hung up"

"As if the call were over," Leland asked teasingly

"You don't think he's up to something he shouldn't be," Trudy asked concerned.

Leland lifted an eyebrow.

"Point noted and taken," she said laughing

He wasn't back for hours and when he came back he was smiling

"Trudy," he told her, "I have a surprise for you"

Trudy's friend Ellen was there. She squealed excitedly. Since Trudy was unable to visit her friend Adrian had used his bonus to fly Ellen out. That was Adrian. He was always doing things like that.

((End Flashback))

He was always doing things like that and now she could lose him. That would be the worst thing that could ever happen especially now. Yesterday she had found out that she was pregnant. It killed that he might never know his child. It was a damn shame that grief and worry can't be arrested because they are killers.
