Chapter 13—In the Hospital
I woke up the next morning, to find both of my companions had left me. I sighed, and looked over to my right where my bed-stand was. I smiled when I noticed a steaming cup of coffee and a note written on a napkin next to me. I went to pick both of them up, and noticed that I had a lot more strength than I did the night before.
I took a sip of my coffee, and sipped it. Milk only, just how I liked it. Casey probably helped with that one.
I then picked up the napkin, with the faded Starbucks symbol behind the letters. The napkin read:
Alec! Casey and I went to the precinct to get to work on who tried to shoot you. We'll be there around four, to sneak you files. UNTIL THEN, please get some rest and heal. Casey says that there is a Red Sox game on at 1:00 (I think she also said that they're facing the Yankees).
Don't code on us again, or I swear I'll strangle you in your grave. ;)
Truly,
Liv
P.S., I better have gotten the right coffee—I had to wait an hour in line for it.
I laughed after I read the note. As I put it down, I looked over at the time—12:55. I grabbed the clicker from the side of my bed, and put on NESN. They were just wrapping up the pre-game show, and Casey was right; they were facing the Yankees.
I settled in for a good game. This was going to take a while.
Then, a nurse dressed in purple walked in. "Hi…" I said, warily.
She said nothing. She just simply put a shot in my IV chord. I felt myself slowly drifting off to sleep, when I heard her say, "Yeah she's out cold. We'll hold her for ransom, and the people who love her most will give their life for her. This'll be good."
