Maxie and the grunts entered the infirmary and walked to the girl's room. When they entered they saw that the doctor was still fussing over her, and they noticed that the girl was asleep.
"So, doctor, how is she?" Maxie asked.
"Better, but she still needs to stay in bed for a while……" The doctor replied.
"Do you know what illness she's sick with?" Maxie asked.
"I have yet to identify it, but whatever her illness is it's making her very weak. She couldn't even sit up without help." The doctor replied.
"Oh, my…….. Well keep on trying to identify it, and try to help her get well." Maxie said.
"I'll do that." The doctor replied.
"By the way, these grunts……" Maxie gestured behind him. "…….Will be guarding her for me, as I can't afford to let her try to escape or allow someone to rescue her." Maxie said.
"Okay, as long as they stay out of the way and don't interfere with her treatment, I have no problem with them being here………" The doctor said.
"Good." Maxie said.
The grunts spread out throughout the room and moved so that the doctor could get to her easily. Maxie now turned and left the infirmary to go get some work done, and the grunts continued to guard her. A few minutes after Maxie left, the doctor left the room to go get a shot for her, and he returned with it in a couple of minutes. When he returned with it, the doctor walked over to the girl and took her left arm and administered the shot. The girl didn't stir when he gave her the shot. Now the doctor left her room again and went to get a couple of things, and when he returned with them, he put the girl on an IV. Once again, the girl didn't stir.
One of the grunts commented, "She must really feel bad if she didn't stir when she was given a shot or when she was put on an IV……"
"That's true……. Hopefully she'll start to feel better soon……." The doctor replied.
The doctor now left her room, and the grunts continued to guard her while she slept. The girl appeared to be in a deep sleep, and it seemed like her dreams were peaceful. The grunts stood around her and wondered how long it would take for her to get well, but only time would tell for sure.
