Thanks as always for the reviews.

"Are you sure about this?" Fin asked, talking on the phone with Munch who was still in the hospital.

"Yes I'm sure. Just take care of it and I'll owe you for it." Munch said, trying to get the phone call finished before Sara came back from finding the doctor and going to the cafeteria.

"Alright man. I'm looking it up online and I can get her in by tomorrow night."

"Okay. Well I probably won't be out of here for a few days."

"Well, I wouldn't think you would be out right away."

"Thanks Fin."

"No problem. How're you feeling?"

"Not too bad, the pain meds are still working their course so that's pretty good."

Fin laughed. "Good to hear that. I'll be by later."

"Okay, bye." Just as Munch hung up the phone Doctor Miller entered the room.

"Detective Munch. Miss Cohen said that you were up." The doctor said, pulling out a pen and going over a clipboard of work. "How are you feeling?"

"Not too bad. Whatever pain meds you've got me on are working." John said with a smirk. He looked towards the door when he heard it creak open and Sara walked back in carrying a wrapped sandwich and a can of pop.

"I see this isn't the first time you've been shot." The doctor tried to contain his laughter. "I assume that that injury has healed?"

"Yeah, that one was a while ago." John said, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Well. You should be ready to go home in a few days. I'll have a nurse come in and change the dressing for your wound. She'll also show you how to do it yourself for when you go home."

"Thanks doc." Doctor Miller left the room and Sara sat back down in the chair she had been in earlier.

"So what was so funny about the last time you were shot?" Sara asked, opening her sandwich.

"I was shot in an unusual place."

"Where was that?"

"In the ass. I was shot in the ass."

Sara tried not to laugh… but was unable to contain it. "You were a pain in your own ass." She giggled.

"That's exactly what I said to Fin."

"Excuse me." A nurse said, coming into the room. "Doctor Miller asked me to come in and change your bandage.

"Hey, by all means." John said, pushing the sheets off of him. By the time the nurse had finished putting on a fresh bandage another knock came from the door.

"You're a popular one today." The nurse smiled kindly at him.

"I guess so."

"Hey man." Fin said coming into the room.

"Hey." John said, glad to see his partner.

"You're looking alright… good enough to get your ass back to work." Fin said with a laugh.

"Wow, you already forgot that I'm the witty one in this partnership."

"Well, you have to be witty somewhere." Sara said, standing up. "I'm going to go find the ladies room. Do you need anything John?"

"Nope. I'm good."

"Alright, I'll be back in a little bit." She said walking out of the room.

"So is everything set?" Munch asked as soon as the door shut behind her.

"Yup, just let me know when you get out and I'll make the appointment."

"Doc should know when that is, said I'll only be in a few days."
