Chapter 2:
Jack awoke to the soft continuous beeping and the harsh light against her eyelids. She moaned softly and opened her eyes. She squinted her eyes as the bright light flooded into them, and waited a few seconds until they adjusted. She slowly looked around, the ceiling and walls were all white, that same goddamn white. She groaned and sat up, whatever happened last night, it was obviously bad. She swung her legs over the bed and moved to stand up, and stopped in shock. This wasn't her room aboard Riddick's ship. She glanced about wildly, the machines that had awoken her with the beeping were hooked up to her. Oh god, she was in a fucking hospital. At that moment a pretty little nurse walked in, almost dropping her clipboard.
"Miss South! Your awake!" She exclaimed startled.
Miss South? Who the fuck was that? She glanced around confused, what happened?
"Oh, I'm so sorry dear, I didn't even think! I'll go get the doctor and call your fiancée he's been worried sick about you all week!"
With that the nurse practically ran out of the room. Jack moaned and put her face into her hands. What happened? Who the hell was her 'fiancée'? She looked down at her arms, both in bandages. In a sudden flash of memory everything came back, her leaving the ship, finding the nearest alleyway and slitting her wrists to oblivation, and then the sudden rush and then the coldness that seeped through her body, and then, nothing. She moaned and pressed her face into her hands again. Who found her? Who saved her? and why was she Miss South?
"Well Miss South, it's about time you woke up. We we're all getting a bit worried."
A short little bald man walked in with the nurse from before trailing behind him. This was obviously the doctor.
"Who are you?" Jack asked.
The doctor gave a quick chuckle, "I'm doctor Lance Powers, and this is nurse Betty Marlo." He walked towards the bed and started looking at the machine that was still attached to her. "So Miss South, how are you feeling? Do you remember what happened?" he was giving her a funny look.
Jack gave him a curious look and glanced around. "Where's my fiancée? I'd like him to be here. I'm a little shady on the details."
Doctor Powers gave her a small smile and gave a quick nod, "We've called him, he should be here soon, we're hoping, and of course we can wait until he gets here before we talk. You just lie back and rest, I'll be back in a bit to check up on you." With a quick nod in her direction he walked out the door with the nurse still on his heels.
Jack laid back on the bed and looked around, wondering who was her fiancée. She closed her eyes and dozed off. She was awoken with a quick knock on the door and the doctor walking in with the nurse and ..Jeff.
"Jack, darling." He exclaimed and walked quickly towards her, crossing in front of the doctor.
Jack looked at him startled. "Jeff?!"
