A/N: again…NO MEDICAL BACKGROUND! (
Chapter 4= Coming around…
"So four days huh?" he said roughly, his throat still sore. Benton had left about an hour ago, he had been a little glad too. He could stand to see the pain in his eyes, the pain that had probably reflected from his own. He was also happy to have a slightly happier company now. Deb sat next for him bed, she was very quiet but she always had that I-am-going-to-cheer- everybody-up smile on.
"Yeah…you scared the crap out of us, John" she said looking out the window.
"So, how have things been down stairs?" he asked changing the subject.
"Busy, umm…Kerry called in some back up from Mercy till you come back though." She told him. A long silence fell over the room, and every twinge of the monitors could be heard.
"You should get some rest, I'll be back after my shift." She said rising from her chair.
Carter heard a knock on his door, still half asleep he really didn't want to deal with any one at the moment. It was probably just another nurse or Benton, he really didn't want to talk to him now. Kerry had made the police leave already so it couldn't have been them either. He just let himself pretend to fall back asleep. When the nurse saw that he was asleep, she made her work fast and left him to rest. He flicked on the TV and searched for something other then the news. Jerry Springer…great.
"Jerry, Jerry, Jerry…" was heard by Benton as he came towards the door. He knocked and opened the door not waiting for a response.
"Ah, a bored mans best friend!" said hoping to get a mile from his friend. Carter put the television on mute.
"Hi Dr. Benton" he said lest then thrilled, and slowly turned his head toward Benton.
"Hey, how you doing?" he asked for the 300th time that day.
Carter gave him that look that he didn't want to talk. Benton knew it, he had to have, it was how carter had been acting since he woke up. He hadn't told him right away about Lucy but Carter seemed to have gotten the idea on his own. Benton left quietly and sadly as he saw his friend start to retreat into himself. TBC…if u want…sorry its so short and it took so long but, well I don't have an excuse really so…REVIEW!!! (
