Joseph Higgins Memorial Hospital, Arcadia Bay Oregon, October 10th, 2013, 9:23 AM

James entered the parking lot before getting off of the bike, he walked the bike over to the front of the building before propping up the bicycle against the wall as there was no bike rack like at Blackwell, he walked through the doors and up to the receptionist's desk. The woman, who was about thirty years in age was typing on a computer before looking up at James "Can I help you?" she asked raising an eyebrow

"I'm here to visit someone.." James stated his intentions flatly, the woman nodded typing on her keyboard

"And who are you seeing?" she questioned

"Kate Marsh, the girl that tried... to kill herself" James hated to have said that as it seemed to blunt, but that was the truth. The woman put the information down in the computer

"Poor girl's been getting a lot of attention lately, two other people just went to go visit her" She informed James, "Third floor, fourth door on the right" She said staring at her monitor while pointing at the stairs, James thanked her before walking up the staircase.

Finally reaching the third floor James took a second to catch his breath before walking to the door only to find Chloe Price leaning against the wall next to the door "Wasn't expecting you of all people to be visiting Kate Marsh" James said crossing his arms

"Cause I'm not. I'm just waiting for Max to finish yukking it up in there" Price said gesturing to the door "Oh by the way. Sorry for acting like a douche back the Whales."

"Chloe Price admitting she was in the wrong? This never happens" James said sarcastically which caused Price to flip him off

"Laugh it up Sherlock". Not wanting to interrupt Caulfield's conversation by entering the door James leaned against the wall next to Price "You wouldn't believe the shit we found in Step-douche's files, he's got a bunch of notes, maps, and pictures of the folks that 'peaked' his interest. Hell, he could give you a run for your money with all the snooping Sherlock" Price informed

James scoffed at the idea that Blackwell Security guard David Madsen of all people could rival him in terms of gathering information, but if it was true then the information found may prove useful in his investigation.

"We were gonna head back off to Blackhell to look through Nathan Presprick's room care to join?" Price asked

{CHOICE}

{STAY BEHIND/LEAVE}

"You guys can go off ahead without me, just don't start until I can get there." James stated "I came here for a reason and I'm sticking to that"

Just then Max walked out through the door "Well, how is she?" Price asked with apparent concern

"She's still Kate Marsh. Thank God." Max sighed with relief

"Pleasant change from a couple of days ago, thats for damn sure..." James crossed his arms, thinking back to earlier in the week.

"Now let's go pay a visit to Nathan Prescott. That little prick is not gonna be glad when he sees us..." Price smirked thinking about Prescott's reaction. The two girl's walked off down the hall leaving James all alone, he took a deep breath and walked through the door.

James opened the door knocking on the wood while holding on to the handle "Knock Knock" He said rhetorically

"James!" Kate said apparently perking up seeing him, she had been sitting on a metal folding chair apparently working some kind of illustration but had gotten up, ran over, and wrapped her arms around James in a warm embrace as soon as the door shut behind him. James was taken aback by the action and was left standing awkwardly

"Pleasant to see you too Miss Marsh.." He said blankly waiting for Marsh to end her embrace, once that was done they both walked back over to the chair she was sitting in before, while Kate went back to sitting in the chair James simply stood crossing his hands behind his back "I trust you are doing well?" James asked initiating a conversation

"I'm doing a lot better than I was earlier this week. Thanks for asking." Kate looked up and smiled "I got the card Miss Grant had everyone sign, it was... Really nice to see that your name was on it as well". She smiled and then seemingly remembered something"Hey, I wanted to know if you found out anything regarding what happened that night?" James thought about the question for a couple of seconds trying to find an answer

"I'm... Close, I can feel it, I will notify you if I find anything immediately relevant" He finally informed his client, there around a minute silence filled the room "I have a personal question Ma'am" James began "And, it's quite alright if you don't answer." he paused trying to think of how to phrase what he was going to say in a sympathetic way "Why did you do it?" He finally spoke, now it was Kate's turn to think over what she was going to say

"It just felt hopeless" She began "Like everyone had turned their back to me, but thank God I was wrong. Thanks, for being there. I never got a chance to say that before"

James adjusted his hood and placed his hands in his jacket pockets "I shouldn't have sent you to Jefferson. I had no idea he would have been so. Cruel" He said thinking back to the event in the hallways "I should have intervened, thats on me..." James began to scold himself like he had done the night before,

Kate simply smiled "James, its probably for the best that you didn't do anything. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.-1 Peter 3:9" quoting a verse from the Holy Bible,

James looked at his watch and realized that he probably had to leave, he didn't what to have to abandon Kate so soon but he had work to "My sincere apologies Miss Marsh, but I have to get going, I'll be sure to come to visit by at some point again soon" James said preparing to walk out of the door

"Real quick, I have to tell you something" Kate said from behind James causing him to turn back around. Yet again she wrapped her arms around him in a warm embrace "Thanks for believing in me" Kate smiled "You are like a Guarding Angel"

James shook his head "I am no Angel.." She let go of him allowing him to leave "You're a good man James Makintosh.." Kate called out, James gave a two-fingered salute before walking through the door and back out into the hall.
