Mordecai woke up and looked down at Rigby, surprised to see he was already awake. "You're already awake?" he asked.
"Yeah." Mordecai noted that he didn't look like he'd just waken up. "How long have you been awake, dude?" Mordecai asked raising an eyebrow. Rigby looked at the clock and looked up at Mordecai.
"About two hours I guess." Mordecai laughed. "You could have woken me up Rigby," he said sitting up and spreading his legs out. Rigby shrugged. "I didn't wanna wake you up." Mordecai smiled. 'That was nice of him.' He was pulled from his thoughts when Rigby spoke.
"So Mordecai," he said looking up at Mordecai with eager eyes. "When can we leave?" Mordecai looked down at him. "Are you ready to leave?" Rigby nodded his head quickly. "Yeah, man. I'm just a little worried.." Mordecai frowned with sadness.
"What are you worried about Rigby?" he asked softly. "Tim."
Mordecai hugged Rigby tightly and looked in his eyes. "I'm not going to let him near you Rigby. If he even thinks of coming near you, he won't know what hit him." He pet Rigby's head and Rigby started purring and smiled at Mordecai. "Thanks Mordecai."
"Hmm.. I wonder if he would let me scratch behind his ears. I don't want to be weird.' Mordecai slowly moved his hand behind Rigby's ear and he scratched gently. He smiled as Rigby closed his eyes and purred even louder. Mordecai chuckled and kept scratching behind Rigby's ear as he reached with his other hand for his phone. He had a message from Benson.
Rigby opened his eyes when Mordecai stopped scratching his ear and saw Mordecai smile and look at him. "What are you so happy about?" Rigby asked curiously peering over Mordecai's hand. Mordecai thrust his phone in front of Rigby. "Read it," he said grinning. Rigby laughed at the look on Mordecai's face. "Dude, you should see your face right now!" Mordecai rolled his eyes smiling. "Just read it dude."
Rigby's eyes moved as he read and he smiled. Benson's message said the police had arrested Tim. Rigby's eyes brightened. "Can we go home now?" he asked with a cheerful smile. "Yeah, dude. Let me go talk to the doctor." Mordecai put Rigby on the bed and got up and walked out to talk to the doctor. He came back in. "I'll call Benson and tell him we're ready to go back," Mordecai said dialing Benson's number and sitting on the edge of the bed.
Rigby smiled and scooted next to Mordecai and put his head on Mordecai's shoulder. Mordecai ended the call and got up and pulled Rigby to his feet. "Let's go home, dude." Rigby smiled at Mordecai and moved closer to him as they walked out of the hospital and they sat down on the bench waiting for Benson to come pick them up.
Mordecai put his arm around Rigby and pulled him to his side. Rigby laid his head against Mordecai. They didn't care if anyone saw them. They're best friends and best friends stick close together.
