"Not again!" Lily yelled as she heard her pager go off.

Kyle just watched as Lily got up and started searching the room for her beeping pager. When she finally found it and saw who was paging her she frowned.

"What?" Kyle asked.

"Can't they survive one day without me?" she said with a sigh as she pulled on her coat and grabbed her keys.

"Wait I'm coming with you" Kyle said starting to get out of bed, but Lily grabbed his shoulder.

"Not this time" she said forcing him back down.

"But" Kyle protested.

"I'm going to the hospital" Lily cut him off, "and your staying here and sleeping" she said as she headed to the door.

"But" Kyle said again.

"No buts you aren't coming, you're sick" Lily said opening the door.

"But..." he said once more but Lily was already out the door.


Lily was just getting ready to leave the hospital when Lloyd stopped her in the hall.

"What do you want now Lloyd?" she asked and kept walking.

"Didn't you hear the news?" he asked.

"What news?" Lily asked really not interested.

"Remember the psycho who came in here the other day and shot Kyle?" Lloyd questioned.

"Yeah..." She said looking at him like he was an idiot; did he really think that she was going to forget that anytime soon?

"Well it was on the news today that he escaped from jail" Lloyd told her.

This new information startled Lily but she didn't let it show, "So what, it doesn't have anything to do with us"

"You aren't the least bit concerned...?"

"Aren't you supposed to be working?" Lily asked when they reached the door and she didn't wait for his response before she left.

Lily had been thinking it over in her mind the whole car ride home from the hospital. It actually really did worry her man who had shot Kyle was now out rooming the streets and she didn't know how Kyle would take it, so she had come to the conclusion not to tell him. If he found out later that would be fine, but he didn't need to know just yet.

When Lily entered her apartment the first thing she saw was Kyle asleep on the couch in the living room with the TV blaring. She smiled, walked over turned off the television, then went and got a blanket and draped it over Kyle's still form, noticing as she did so that he still had a fever.

'Yeah' she thought 'he definitely doesn't need to worry about it just now'.
