Summary: Suspicion missing scene. How exactly did Liz already know that Rodney was fine before John told her? Carson POV.


"How's he doing, Carson?" Elizabeth asks as I walk into the room. She's sitting by the lad's side, holding her hands demurely in her lap, though anyone with eyes can see she wants to hold his hand to comfort him.

"Well, Rodney's stubborn as a mule, but he'll be about in an hour or so." I smile to her, and think for the umpteenth time how sweet it is that she comes in to see him when he's in here, which is quite a lot, actually.

"So he'll be okay, then?" She looks back down to his unconscious face and sweeps a piece of hair off of his forehead. Such a caring gesture from a friend, or more than a friend, as I've heard from some. But ignoring those rumors, she's such a sweet lady and I'm so glad she's a friend of mine.

"Aye, he'll be fine." A shining smile comes to her lips, softening and brightening her face.

"That's good." She stands up to go, turning to me and giving my hand a slight squeeze. "Good work, Carson."

"It's not much of my work, I'm afraid. It just takes time to regain balance after a stunner." She nods andwalks out with a lighter step, and I know that he'll be fine. In fact, I'll make sure he's fine just so he can see how much she cares.
