Kyle awoke to the smell of someone cooking, and he opened his eyes slowly, blinking a few times to allow his eyes to focus.
"Well look who's finally awake" Kyle head Lily's voice say and he looked behind him to see her walking towards him carrying a tray with a bowl of soup on it, "are you feeling any better?"
"Some" Kyle said, surprised at how rough his own voice still was.
"I thought you might, your temperature seems to have gone down a little" Lily said with a slight smile, "are you hungry?"
Kyle wasn't really all that sure that he could eat anything, but he knew better than to argue with Dr. Lily Reddicker.
"Sure, I guess I could eat" Kyle said.
"Good, I made you some soup" Lily said still smiling, and Kyle forced a smile also.
Lily got some more pillows and used them to help prop Kyle up so that he was sitting. She then placed the tray in Kyle's lap, sitting down next to him.
A few bites was all that Kyle could stand to eat and luckily he was saved from the inevitable argument with Lily about how he hadn't eating anything since yesterday when the phone rang and Lily got up to answer it.
"Oh, great where'd the phone go?" Lily said looking on the table where the phone should be but wasn't.
"Just let the machine get it" Kyle suggested setting the tray on the coffee table.
And after about three more rings Lily's voice could be heard as the answering machine picked up.
"You've reached Lily Reddicker I'm not here right now leave a massage at the beep"
Beep.
"Hey Kyle its Amy. I tried calling your apartment but there wasn't an answer, then I tried you cell but it was turned off, so I called here remembering that you were staying with Lily. But anyways I called to ask you how you were doing I just heard the news about how the guy who shot you escaped from jail and wanted to see if you were alright. So I'll talk to you later, bye"
Kyle was shocked he hadn't heard anything about what had happened to that psycho, and the thought that he was out there roaming the streets wasn't a comforting one.
Lily watched Kyle as he processed what he had just learned in his head, she didn't know how he was going to react to the news, one of the reasons she didn't tell him herself.
"Are you ok?" Lily asked Kyle after a few moments.
"Not really" Kyle said now a little scared.
"Hey I really don't think you should worry too much about it" Lily said reassuringly.
"Why don't you seem too surprised by this?" Kyle asked suspiciously.
"Uhh" Lily started "because Lloyd kind of told me this morning"
"What!" Kyle said getting mad, and standing up so that he was eye level with her. "Why didn't you tell me!"
Lily just looked at Kyle she had, in some way expected him to be a little mad at her for not telling him.
"Whoa" Kyle said moving his hand to his head as his whole world started to spin, then everything went black.
