Chapter 9

The next day couldn't come any faster for Charlotte. For one thing, she wanted to know who the mysterious person that went around that corner. It could be her mother and brother. It wasn't Nick that's for sure and it couldn't be Alex or Monroe.

The other thing she knew is that as soon as she leaves the hospital, she was going on a mission. The mission was to find who the person was that visited her in the hospital room. She hasn't seen him before that's for sure as well. She hoped that Alex would find something too.

A knock on her door snapped out of her thoughts and she saw surprisingly it was Monroe and Rosalee coming into the room. Deep down, she knew that something was going on between the two of them but of course they didn't show it.

"Hi guys," Charlotte said.

"How you're feeling?" Rosalee asked.

"I'm okay I just wish I could leave," Charlotte said.

"When did they say that you're were going to be released?" Monroe asked.

"Hopefully today," she replied.

"That's good listen you think you can maybe put your investigating mode on," she said.

"Got a story?" Charlotte asked, sitting up more in her bed.

"Well not exactly" Rosalee replied. "Is there any way you can look up something?"

"You can't find it?" she asked.

"It's complicated enough that Monroe and I looked through enough books to know that it's not there," she said.

"Sure I can do it when I get released. Reception here isn't that great on my cell," Charlotte replied.

"Yeah I heard that you might be going home today," she said.

"I hope so. I do have some aches here and there but there tolerable enough that I can manage."

"That's good. At least you have someone who's going to be with you," Rosalee said.

"Yeah and you got Monroe also," Charlotte said.

Rosalee's face flushed a little and Charlotte couldn't help but smirk a little. At least she knew that the girl had something for Monroe.

"Does he even know?" she asked.

"I don't think so and I can't help but not say anything about it," Rosalee replied.

"I see the way he's around you I'm not that blind," Charlotte pointed out.

"Yeah I guess you're right," Rosalee said. "But what should I do when he's around?"

"Just be yourself like you've always been. It's not like you guys have eye sex or anything like that," she said.

"I know but a blutbad and a fusbachu never really got together," she pointed out.

"You guys would be the first," Charlotte said as she got out of bed.

As soon as Charlotte took her first step, she felt dizzy. "Whoa," she said softly to herself as she sat back down on the bed.

"Are you okay?" Rosalee asked.

"Yeah I'm fine it's probably the pain meds or something," Charlotte said.

"Are you sure? I can call the nurse," she said.

"No, no it's fine as if Nick needs to worry more," Charlotte said.

"He really cares about you doesn't he?"

"Isn't it that obvious?"

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Charlotte looked up but relaxed more when she saw her mother and her brother walking in the room.

"Josh," she said as he walked over to hug her.

"Hey sis, I got here as soon as I can," he said.

"Well I'm fine, aren't I?" she said.

At that moment, Nick walked in. He saw the two siblings hugging one another and couldn't help but wish that his parents were around still. There were times that he wanted them here to help him out with living his life at a Grimm but he knew that he was doing a fine job so far.

"Hi," Charlotte said excitedly as her eyes lit up when she saw her boyfriend.

"Ready to leave?" Nick asked as he kissed her before he greeted her mother and brother.

"Almost I got to wait for the doctor, the nurse said he was still in surgery before Rosalee showed up," Charlotte replied.

"I see, so have you slept well?" he asked.

"I slept okay," she replied. She rather wait until later to tell Nick what happened. "How's the case going?"

"What case?" he asked. Little did she knew, not only he was looking out for the serial robber or killer whoever it may be, but he's also hunting down the hit and run driver that caused the girls' accident.

"You know the robbery case? You guys got any leads yet?" she asked.

He blinked a few times before he snapped back to reality. "Oh right, we talked to a few people but nothing yet," he replied.

"Must be difficult when that happens," Josh noted.

"Yep well that's all in a police work I guess," Nick said.

"Does Dad know about what happened?" Charlotte asked.

"Nope and even if he did, it wouldn't even matter since he wasn't around," Josh said bitterly.

"Josh," her mother warned.

"Sorry mom it's just bugging me that he would just pop out of nowhere and it bugs Charlotte too," he said.

Before she said anything, the doctor interrupted their conversation as he walked in the room. After he gave her a brief overview on what to expect while Charlotte is recovering at home. She only took two weeks sick leave because she didn't want to miss any more work than she already is but her boss was understanding and told her not to come back until she's better.

A while after the doctor left, Josh, Rosalee and Nick left the room so Charlotte can get ready and her mother was helping her if she needed the help. Both Nick and Rosalee took the advantage to talk while Josh excused himself to call his wife quick.

"Did you mention anything to her?" Nick asked.

"I only told her about the research but nothing else. You still haven't told her about you looking into the hit and run also?" Rosalee asked.

"Well I was going to but I didn't expect her family to be there," he replied. "They don't even know about well you know…"

"Oh right."

"I'll tell her later tonight," he said. "I just need to find out what I can. I hope that there's a lead on this. I won't let anyone hurt her or get away with this."

"You love her, don't you?" Rosalee asked.

"More than anyone will ever know," Nick replied.

"Hey you two, talking about me again?" Charlotte asked as she sat in a wheelchair. "Mom suggested that she and Josh are doing lunch back at my house before they go to the hotel for the night. Maybe you and me can do dinner later."

"Yeah that's sounds fine. I need to see if they're any leads in the case," Nick said.

"That's cool," she said.

"Remember if anything happens just…"

"Don't worry Nick, I'll make sure to call if any problems," Lynda assured him.

"I'll see you later," Nick said as he kissed her tenderly on the lips before Charlotte was wheeled away.

He hoped that she was okay even if she was with her family.

"Mom, I'm just going to change I'll be fine," Charlotte said.

"Okay if you insist."

"Just remember dear sister if you fall in, don't expect me to grab you," Josh said in a joking matter.

"Very funny," she said as she slowly made her way upstairs.

Charlotte managed to get to her room fine and pulled out some sweats and a long sleeved shirt. She took some gauze pads and tape to change her bandages.

As she got into the bathroom, Charlotte slowly took off her t-shirt and stood in her tank top after she put on a new pair of sweats. Slowly, she lifted to left strap of her bra and it fell halfway down her arm. Biting her lip, she took off the bandage and was shocked to see the wound.

It still have the stitches which was going to be removed in a few days' time and it was still bloodied but not as bad as it was before but then again, she didn't know how bad it was considering the fact that she was out of it while she was in the hospital.

Charlotte leaned over the sink to get a closer look. She lightly touched the scratches and couldn't believe that this was from a car accident. She closed her eyes as the pain started to hurt but not so much. Her eyes opened and a sudden realization hit her like bricks.

These scratches weren't from the glass.

They were from something else.
