YOU CAN GO HOME AGAIN
Chapter 1
It had been a week since Miles had been back in the United States from Central America. And he'd ended up spending those days in the hospital recuperating from life threatening bacterial meningitis. Those first few days hadn't been too bad, he'd been alone in the room and spent a lot of the time sleeping and trying to regain his strength. that way he'd be ready the next time the team regrouped for their latest case.
Three days ago the hospital in its infinite wisdom had seen fit to give him a roommate. Instead of some quiet person who'd leave him alone, he'd ended up with someone about his own age. Someone who spent the time either playing annoying rap music on the radio or entertaining his seemingly never ending stream of female visitors.
In those three days Miles had found there were so many times he cared to reread the same journal or walk up and down the hallway. Now he was bored as Hell and starting to wonder if he'd been forgotten. The only member of the team who'd been in to visit was Natalie and he had the idea that it was partly to keep track of his recovery process.
That made perfect sense as she'd more or less taken over treating him once he'd been rescued. Still he looked forward to those daily visits as it broke up the monotony of his days. And it also gave him time to catch up with what was going on with the others since they'd stayed away waiting until he was up to having visitors.
In the meantime he'd stared up at the ceiling long enough that if someone were to ask him how many holes were in it, he could probably give them a pretty accurate answer. Still it was better than trying toignore his roommate's visitors. Which with the drawn curtains and the noise, left him with the suspicion that more was going on than just hugging and kissing.
