Thanks you for all the lovely reviews it was a bit of a surprise what the will had in it, I got my info from my own will ( bit morbid I know Hee Hee) . I'm also going to do this in three parts.
This is the part where Patrick and Teresa take Lucyanne to Ireland on their belated honeymoon and to sort out the will. But something happens and the honeymoon to Ireland has to be postponed.
I don't own the Mentalist.
Chapter 6
A Year Later Part 2
She was woken up sharply by the shrilling ringing of their house phone. She turned over and picked up the handset and put it to her ear.
"Lisbon" she said with a sleepy voice.
"Mrs Jane is that Mrs Jane" said a soft female voice.
"Yes it is how can I help you"
"Well this is the hospital it's about your husband I think you should come in ASAP I will explain everything when you get her." She said as she waited for Teresa to answer.
"Ok be there as soon as I can" she said with worry sounding in her voice. She put the phone down and then got up and went to get ready to go back to the hospital.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As she exits the elevator on the fifth floor she is met by a young man who has short dark hair and deep blue eyes that has a white coat on.
"Mrs Jane" he asks.
"Yes" "What has happened. She asks with worry on her face.
"Well I'm sorry that we had to drag you out but we are having problems with your husband".
"Why" "He should be still under though I thought you used a stronger sedative".
"We did and he still is but he seems to be having nightmares and is thrashing about and that is not very good for him, we cannot seem to calm him, we've tried sedating more but it just making him worse it seems" He looks at her with worried eyes.
"Ok I will try for you" see said with a tired frown on her face. "I think I might know how to get through to him." She says as they walk through the ICU's door.
They walk up to the cubicle and she then walks in and up to the bed. She see's Patrick thrashing his arms around and shouts "No don't, not again" "Leave her alone".
She looks up at the doctor and say's "Yes I know what this is" "Can you leave us alone for a few minutes so I can talk with him please".
"Yes of cause" and leaves her in the cubicle on her own.
"Patrick" "Can you hear me" "It's Teresa" "Why are you making it so hard for me" "They have called me in because they cannot control you why".
While she is talking with him Cho enters the cubicle. She turns to him and gave him a weary smile.
"Has he been really bad". She asks Cho.
"Yeah it started when one of the nurses was talking about something on the TV that is on out in the hall. I think he heard it in his subconscious because at first he just kept thrashing about and then he started shouting".
"I think he was having a nightmare about Red John and his first wife and daughter". "He told me once after he had one in bed and I had to wake him. At first he comes home then he sees the letter then goes in at first he see them but then it changes into us me and Lu Lu, that's when he starts to shout".
"We'll he seemed too calm down when I talked to him for a short while he stopped thrashing but was still shouting and crying for you". Cho said. "That's when I told them to ring you as you are the only one he will listen too". "And also they gave some more sedation and that seemed to stop the shouting for a short time".
"Yeah well he was shouting something when I came in but as soon as I told him I was here and he heard my voice he quieted down".
"Look Chow why don't you go home and I will sit with him now as I won't get back to sleep, or if you still want to stay go and have a break and get yourself something to eat and drink in the restaurant" she said with a smile.
"Ok I won't leave but will take that break though thanks for coming". "I'll see you shortly" as he turned and left the cubicle.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After Cho leaves Teresa turns back to Patrick and captures his hand in hers. She then leans over and gives him a kiss on the lips and brushes some stray curls from his forehead. She then sits down next to him still holding his hand and starts telling him how stupid he is being and that there was no need for him to get upset. She told him that she knows he is board and he needs stimulations but he has to try to be patient and go into his mind and tidy up his palace as something to do. She told him what the doctor told him this afternoon before she left that he was progressing but still needed a few days more in the coma so that it can heal by itself, and with him being awake will only make it worse. She also told him about what happened when she got home how Lu Lu wanted a photo of him to take with her.
After a while a nurse came in to do his vitals and Teresa asked if it would be ok if she help her to move him over slightly so she could lie by the side of him, she told the nurse that that would calm him down and stop him having nightmares. So the nurse helped her to lie by his side and it seemed to calm them both because when Cho came back from his break he found both Teresa and Patrick fast asleep in each others arms. So he moved the chair back slightly and sat down and picked up his book he had been reading and settled down for the rest of the night.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At six in the morning Teresa was woken up by the nurse who came in check Patrick's vitals.
"Good morning Mrs Jane" the nurse said as she realised that Teresa was awake.
"Good morning" Teresa replied with a tired weary smile.
"You seem to be the right medicine for Mr Jane" she smiled "Every thing seems to be in order" she said as she started to walk out of the cubicle but turned just before she exited and asked Teresa if she would like some breakfast as there was plenty left in the trolley.
"No it's ok thanks" "I more like, will be having something with the gent that was here last night" she said "And where is he".
"Oh he just went to the rest room when I came in to do the checks" she replied then left the cubicle to tend to the next patient.
As soon as she left Cho poked his head around the curtain and gave Teresa a smile, even if it was short lived.
"How are you this morning he inquired" "I came back last night and you were both asleep so I just sat and read my book" he said and went to pick it up said article so that he could leave.
"Cho would you come and have breakfast with me I just need some advice" she asked with concern in her eyes.
"Yes of course come on he should be ok until you get back" he said as he turned to walk out.
She turned to Patrick after she got of the bed and gave him a big kiss on the lips then told him that she was just going to get some coffee and something to eat and she should be back shortly and he's not to be naughty with the nurses he is to be nice to them she says with a smile. Then she turned and followed Cho out of the cubicle and then out of the ICU.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
After they had got their drinks and food they then sat down at a table on opposite sides.
"Cho I have been thinking" "She said with a frown. "What if we swap the times that we stay with Patrick" "What if one of you sits with him through the day read him books and things and I do the night shift. "You see I don't sleep if he is not at home and as you saw last night if I'm with him he doesn't seem to have nightmares". "Maybe have a word with Abbott and see if he is in agreement". "I don't mind as it would mean I would get some sleep also and Lu Lu is staying with Jen the baby sitter for a few days". "What do you think".
"Well I think it is a good idea" "Then if you need to do things through the day then you can, like go to see Lu Lu". "Yeah I will put it forward to Abbott and I'm sure he would agree to it" "If he'd been here last night he would have suggested it himself".
"Ok then I will stay for a short while now I'm here and have had a sleep" " But I also have to have a word with the doctor and nursing staff first to see if it is ok with them".
"Ok then I will get going and I'll see about coming back this afternoon" "so you can go home and get a few things like a go bag means you can freshen up in the mornings, there is a shower in the rest rooms down the corridor from ICU." He said as he gets up walks around the table and gives her a big hug.
"Thanks Cho for doing this" "He does appreciate you all you know and thinks a lot of you" "You're his family now".
"I know" said Cho with a rare smile, before breaking the hug and then leaving the restaurant.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
She made her way back up to the ICU and when she entered she asked the nurse if she could see her husband's doctor as she has a proposition for him.
She walked down the line of cubicles and slipped in to the 8th one.
"Good morning Patrick" "I think we both had a very good night after I came back". "I had a word with Cho and I think that we may be changing the times I come to see you and coming to stay with you at night instead". "I know you will like that, because I'm finding it difficult to sleep with out you at home".
She sat talking with Patrick while holding his hand for half an hour before the doctor who was looking after him came into the cubicle.
"Mrs Jane" "I hear you wanted to talk with me" he said while looking at her with wonderment.
"Yes" "Well since the problem you had last night with him I have had a word with the gent that was sitting with him last night".
"Ah yes Mr Cho I think".
"That right well all three of us have worked together for many years and he thinks it would be better if I do the night shift and he and his colleague between them will keep him company through the day". "You see the nightmares have been going on for a long time ever since his first wife and daughter was killed by the serial killer Red John" she said. "He relives the scene every time of him finding them and now he is picturing us as well". "You see if I'm not with him at night his highly trained brain starts thinking the worse because he finds he panics, and since he cannot control it himself when I 'm not there to help him" she sighs and sits back down.
"I see" the doctor stood there thinking. "I cannot see any problem if like last night we had not problems after you laid down next to him" "It also seems you both got some comfort and you some sleep it seem". He said with a smile. "I will inform the nurses to this new arrangement and you can inform your colleagues that it will be alright". He said as he turned and walked out of the door.
"Did you hear that Patrick" "I'm going to sleep with you at night so you don't have to be afraid for me because I will be with you". Now just relax and enjoy the sleep and get that brain working properly" she said with a smile.
She sat down and took hold of his hand. After a while her eyes began to close and soon she was sleep with her head on the bed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
She was woken up by a light tap on her shoulder. She looked and smiled as she see's that Wiley had come to take over from her so she could go home and get a go bag so that she could come back and stay the night.
"Wiley" she said "Thanks ever so much for doing this he will appreciate it when he comes around, he thinks the world of you all you are his family now". She said with a tired yawn. "What have you bought to amuse him"?
"I brought some books about making things as he is good with his hands" "I thought I could read them to him" he says with a wry smile. "I was not sure what else to bring but maybe Cho will give me some pointers.
"That's sounds good for now" "Maybe tell him a little about your self he'd definitely love that". I'm going to get off now since I'm coming back later". "Thanks for doing this for us".
"It's my pleasure". "See you when you get back".
"Ok" she says as she turns to Patrick and tells him she will be back later to lie with him and gives him a big kiss on the lips before turning back and walking out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
She gets home shortly after and makes her way to the bedroom to pack a small case. She then goes and gets a shower and dresses into something more casual than her work clothes. She goes down stairs and picks up the post that she got from the post box at the end of the lane as she drove into the lane. She went down the stairs and picked up the house phone and rang Jen and Lu Lu. She has a long talk with them about what they had done today and also told her that her Daddy was getting better. She then went into the kitchen for a coffee and then back into the lounge to start reading the post.
She noticed a couple of letters from Ireland for Patrick but did not recognise the writing it certainly was not Paddy's. I wonder who these are from she thought. I won't open then Patrick can do that when he comes home. There were a couple of bills which she put with the other bills so they can be paid at the end of the month. She saw one for herself. Strange she thought turning the envelope over to see if there was a return address on the back but she could not find one. She looked again at the address on the front and noticed that someone had not put the right name on it and her suspicions got the hair on the back of her neck. It was addressed to Mrs P Lisbon and their address. She got out her mobile and rang Abbott.
"Abbott here".
"Abbott it's Teresa I have just received an unusual address envelope and I think it maybe about the attack yesterday" "Are you still at work because I can come and bring it to you before I go to the hospital for the night"? She asked with a little bit of concern in her voice. There are also some letters from Ireland for Patrick but I know they are not from Paddy, do you want me to bring them too.
"Yes I think you should bring all the things that you are not sure about then we can open them and have look". "Cho is here also so we have another set of eyes.
"Ok I will be with you shortly I have just got to go and check on the other building before I leave for to come to you". She says getting up and then walking towards the kitchen to put her empty cup into the dishwasher.
"She got all her stuff that she is taking with her and then turned on the emergency lights and shut the main ones off then went out the back door so she can lock up for the night.
After she had checked everything she made her way towards her car and got in and drove away from the buildings down the back land to take the short cut to HQ. She did not see the car that had been following her after she came out onto the main road. She turned and drove into the parking lot of the FBI HQ. She got out of her car and walked in through the door.
"Good evening Agent Lisbon" "I hope you are well tonight". "How is Mr Jane doing I here he is not well" George the night guard who was on the scanner as she went through and then collected her things from the other side.
"He is being kept in a coma at the moment as he has had a very bad head injury" She told him.
"Well I hope he is better soon" "We do miss his high jinks around here" "He was always able to make you laugh". He said with a smile.
"Well we got a few more days to go first before they will bring him out of the coma". She said as she walked towards the elevator. She looked back and said that she will tell him that you asked after him, and then the elevator doors open and she walked in.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As she walked out of the doors into the bullpen she notices Cho and Abbott in the fish bowl. Just as they noticed her they beckoned her in. She went in and handed Abbott the letter who had put gloves on as she walked in.
"Thanks he said". "Right here goes". He uses a letter opener to open the first letter. This is the one addressed wrongly to Lisbon. He takes out one piece of folded paper and slowly opens it and both Abbott and Cho gasp with disgust.
On the piece of paper were a threat to kill Patrick Jane as soon as possible and that they will be doing it tonight at the hospital. But at the bottom of the paper was a black smiley face.
"This is not good" says Cho and Abbott together.
Cho takes out his phone and rings Wiley. After 2 rings Wiley answers.
"Wiley here"
"Wiley its Cho is everything alright at the hospital as Lisbon has a letter sent to her with a threat that they are going to kill Patrick tonight at the hospital" "Are you in his room".
"Yeah sat beside him and he is still sleeping".
"Ok can you inform the doctor and nursing staff quietly and tell them to keep a look out for anyone suspicious" "Then tell them to inform you and we are on our way".
"Ok".
"Look Cho you and Lisbon go to the hospital to help Wiley" "I'll carry on here opening these other letters and inform you what I find ok".
"Yes Boss they both say together".
"Let's get going" he says as he ushers Lisbon out of the fishbowl and towards the elevator. "I'll meet you there ok"
"Yes" Lisbon replies and the each get into their own cars and drive out in convoy out of the parking lot.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"They still hadn't noticed the dark car parked opposite the HQ. But Cho noticed that they were being followed as they came up to a red light. Cho got out his phone and rang Lisbon who was behind him.
"Lisbon we are being followed a dark car one car behind you". He said as the light was still red. "We'll split up ok at this junction you take the left and I'll take the right and we'll see who they follow, ok then if they follow you I will turn and follow behind ok". He said as the light started to change to green.
They were following Lisbon so Cho turned around and then followed them behind the dark sedan car.
Lisbon then turned towards the hospital and so did the dark car.
Cho could not make out the number plate was it was obscured with dirt. That's illegal on its own he thought to himself he could arrest them just for that, but he wanted them to try and get into the hospital and onto the ICU ward.
Lisbon goes and parks in the long stay parking lot and takes her ticket with her. She then turns into the hospital's entrance and then takes the elevator to the 5th floor.
While they were getting over to the hospital Wiley had alerted the security staff that there was going to be someone coming in to get to Mr Jane to do him harm. Everyone was on alert.
While Lisbon exited her car and then walked into the hospital the dark car occupants exited theirs but did not realise that they were being watched and followed by Cho.
They walked into the reception area and looked around to see if the could detected where Mrs Jane went.
Cho walked in behind them and stood near the reception desk. The receptionist recognised him from the night before and gave him a nod. The two men who looked in their 30's were wearing black suits and both had black cropped hair. They introduced themselves as FBI which Cho smiled as that is also illegal. Then they asked where they could find Patrick Jane as they were going to be the guard for the night. The receptionist was aware that Mrs Jane was the one staying at night time so she looked up at Cho as though to ask what she should do. Cho went over to the receptionist and walked behind her and talked softly in her ear so only she could hear.
"Tell them that he is in ICU and that only hospital personal and family can go on that floor". Cho whispered to her which she related back to the two men.
While they were trying to argue with her that they were here for his protection. Cho got his phone out and rang Lisbon to inform her that there are two men in reception who are saying they are from the FBI, and asking which floor Jane was on and that the receptionist has told them that they cannot go on that floor only hospital personal and family are allowed. So he told her to keep an eye out for two men with short dark hair and wearing black suits they may go to find some white coats and try and get on the ward don't let them. Any hospital personal has swipe cards to get onto the wards if they are genuine; these are also their ID so they will have their pictures on them. And they also have number pads for back up so they swipe their cards then they need to put a number in the pad.
"Ok" she said then went onto the ward to relieve Wiley for the night.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The two men where apprehended as they walked out of the hospital by a number of FBI agents after trying to get onto the fifth floor. Because their faces had been sent around they were kept an eye on by the security cameras. The elevators to the fifth floor were stop going to that floor unless of course you had a swipe card that you could stop and start the elevator. The men even tried to take the stairs but as they reach the fifth floor they found all the emergency doors locked from the inside.
They were taken back to the FBI HQ and placed in interrogation rooms.
Cho went up to the fifth floor as he had been given a pass so could swipe him self onto the floor. He also could use the card to get into the ICU so that he did not need to disturb the nurses or patient with ringing the bell. He nodded to the receptionist as he walked passed and walked down the corridor towards the ICU. He let himself in and then turned to walk into the cubicle but stopped as he saw Teresa asleep on the bed and Patrick with his head on her stomach both fast asleep. He didn't want to wake them as he knew that they both did not sleep enough, he went down the ward to the nurses station and asked for a piece of paper and left them a message for them instead.
After he had done that and updated Teresa about the men he asked the nurses if they would give it to Teresa and then left to go back to the FBI HQ.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Teresa woke up about nine and after getting her bearings she noticed that Patrick had shifted himself down the bed to finally rest in the position he prefers to sleep in, resting his head on her stomach. She smiled because that means he is comfortable and calm.
She rang the call bell at the side of his bed and when the male nurse came in she asked if he would help her to get Patrick back into a reasonable position so that he did not pull out any wires or tubes.
After they got him settle she thanked the nurse and then got ready to go to the rest room for a shower and to get dressed. Just as she was going out of the cubicle a small nurse came up to her and handed a folded piece to her.
"Mr Cho left this last night for you as he did not want to wake you" She said with a smile. "I'll just go in and take his vitals and make him comfortable while you go to the rest room" she finished off.
"Ok" "Thanks" she then turned and went down the ward towards the main doors to the ward and turned towards the rest rooms.
After she had got showered and changed into clean clothes she picked up the note that was left by Cho.
Lisbon.
I did not want to wake you as you both looked so peaceful. But I just wanted to update you that the two men were arrested last night walking out of the Hospital. They have been taken to HQ and later on today we will be interrogating them. Is there anything particular that you want us to say or would you like to come in later and talk to them yourself. If you want us to say things on your behalf, then just give me a ring and tell me what you want to do.
I have gone home for a couple of hours sleep so I can be ready to do the interrogation. I hope you are both ok, but I'm sure that there will be others that will try it again. I also had a word with Abbott and he has decided to send Fisher today to your baby sitters house so that Lucyanne is also protected because we think that they will try and harm her to get to Patrick.
I will look forward to your call or seeing you later. Have a good rest of the night.
Cho.
She placed the message in her pants pocket and walked back to the ward. She had also been given a pass key so that in the night she can go to the rest room without having to disturb any one else.
She walked into the cubicle and was shocked to see Patrick moving around like he was in a terrified panic. She rushed up to him and caught hold of his hand which slowly stopped thrashing about.
"Patrick what is happening why are you panicking". "You have to calm down". "Is it because I left" "I did say I was going to go and get showered and I would be back" "Now calm down". But Patrick was slowly waking up from his induced sleep and would not calm down.
"Teresa Teresa" "They have got her our baby" he said with a slur in his voice. "Patrick Lu Lu is with Jen and Fisher is with her" His eyes slowly opening then wide looking as he realised he was waking up.
Teresa rang the call button and a nurse came rushing in.
"He was thrashing again and I tried to get him to calm down but he would not have it" she said to the nurse.
The doctor was summoned and they tried to get him to calm down but nothing would. He kept repeating that they had got Lu Lu and that Fisher was dead. She kept saying that it was only a dream but she new that if he said that he was normally right. So she got out her phone and rang Fisher but it went to voice mail so she left a message. After she had done that she rang Cho.
"Cho"
"Cho" "Patrick is starting to wake up he keeps saying that they have Lu Lu and Fisher is dead" "You know he is always normally right can you check for me please, I have tried ringing her but it just goes to voice mail" she says with fear in her voice.
"Ok" I will go around there and see" "But you have to phone Abbott so that he can send some back up both too me and you ok". "Now go back to Patrick and lets us find out what is happening". "I will contact you when I find out.".
"Ok" she says and closes the phone. She then rings Abbott and relayed again what she told Cho. He said that he would make sure that they were ok and ended the call.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
She goes back into the ICU and she could hear voices. "I wonder what she will do" one nurse said, The doctor then replied "Well its all I could think of, he was going to hurt himself".
At that moment he noticed her looking at Patrick flat out on the bed not moving at all.
"What have you done" "You have not…. And she was lost for words.
The doctor then went up to her and took her arm and sat her down. "Mrs Jane we had to put him right under with a drug that we use to put patients who are going for an operation. He is totally under" he said.
"Why" she asked.
"Well he was getting out of bed and trying to walk out of the ward but as he put his feet on the floor he collapsed again so not to cause any more damage I give the drug". "It was all I could think of" with a bit of fear in his eyes.
"Oh ok I suppose it was the right decision and I was not here to help".
"Are you ok Mrs Jane you don't look to good".
"Well you see he is a mentalist and a little bit physic, and what he said could actually be the truth". "You see he has had dreams before and they have been right". "That's why I left to ring my colleagues so they can go and check".
"Oh" said the doctor "I can see what you mean and why you had gone out". "Look he will be ok for the next 4 to 5 hours that's normally how long the drug lasts".
"Can I talk with him you see if I tell him that Cho has gone to find out it might calm him down a little because if I don't he will only try to beat this drug also" she says with a deep sigh.
The doctor nodded his head with agreement and Teresa walked over to the bed and took hold of Patrick's hand.
"Patrick" "Sweetheart". "I have asked Cho and Abbott to go and make sure that nothing has happened to Lu Lu, Jen and Fisher". "He is going to call me as soon as he as found anything out" she says to him. For a brief moment she actually thought he had squeezed her hand". Anyway she must have been dreaming herself.
About 3 hours later Teresa's phone rang and woke her up it seemed that she had at still next to the bed and still holding Patrick's hand. She must have fallen asleep.
"Hi Cho" "Is everything ok". She said with still some fear in her voice.
"Yeah" "sorry that I have not got back to you sooner, but there had been an instance. They did try to get to Lucyanne, but because Abbott had sent Fisher earlier they were not aware that there was a guard with a gun with them". "They started firing when they new that there was someone else there and Fisher killed one and winged another but she also got hit in the arm" he said. "It was good that Jen was a first aider because she was able to stop the bleeding".
"How is Lu Lu"? She asked.
"Slept all the way through was in bed when the dust had settled" he said with a chuckle. "Nothing seems to faze her dos it" Chuckling again.
"No she had floppy doll so no she would not have woken up". She smiled also.
"What's happening now then they cannot stay at the house anymore". "They could all stay at our house as the security there is the best in the country" She says with sigh. At least I can come home knowing that they would be ok".
"Well that could be an option but we would have to talk with Abbott as he would want to make sure that there would be enough back up".
"Well that won't be a problem as they could stay in the quest rooms above the garages. There would be enough room for 6 in the suite under Jane' Office as there are four bedrooms and in the lounge there are two couches that fold out into double beds, and over the other garage there are two rooms with en suite on the first floor". "And you have seen the security of the place". "And as you know if you want to go around unnoticed then you only have to use the tunnels, but only the people who we have entrusted with this knowledge that is" she added before asking if Lu Lu was awake yet.
"Can I talk with her"? She asks.
"Yeah" and she hears him shout Lucyanne your mums on the phone and Teresa could hear a squeal in the back ground and then was handed the phone.
"Ma Ma" "Da Da ok he in dream.
"Yes daddy ok he asleep at the moment". "How are you my baby I've missed you". "Now you be a good girl for Jen now, and can you put Cho back on the phone please".
Next thing she heard was Lu Lu passing the phone back to Cho saying Ma Ma talk with you.
"Cho I need you to talk with Abbott and get him to take them to our house I think that is the safer bet". "He can ask Wiley to work from the security room it has WIFI and all computer access. He could then log on to the FBI data base so that he can get what info that he needs to help and still make sure that the house security is up and running".
"I will ring him when we get off the phone".
"Ok" "I'm going to stay with Patrick". "If you need me just call and I will come home and let you into the house".
She closed the phone and placed it back into her pocket then turned around and got hold of Patrick's hand.
She explained to him what happened and also told him what the doctor had told her what he did.
She then told him what Lu Lu had said, that she had seen him in her dream. Is that how you new there was a problem. Is that how you to communicate between yourselves, because there are times you both seen too know what the other one is either going to do or say. I think I'm losing it.
She then told him that she had offered the cabin as a safe house for Lu Lu, Jen and Fisher to stay. She also said that the guest rooms could be used for the agents that would be guarding them. She told him that she would feel safer if Lu Lu was in their house. She then told him that she was not angry with him for warning them, but he must try not to make him self worse as she would listen to him if there was a next time, and she did listen to him the first time, she thought that he trusted her. She also explained that as soon as he had said Fisher was dead she had gone out to ring Cho so that he could go and find out as she was not leaving him in the hospital alone. Mind she might have to leave for a short time later if they are going to use the cabin as she will have to go and let them in and give them his key so that they can get in and out but she will only give the key to Abbott or Cho, as she trusts them and it will be one of them who will be needed to stay until this is over and they are at home.
She was not taking much notice of his face while she was talking to him and did not see him opening his eyes and was smiling at her. He stayed still and just watched her as she was looking at her and his hands.
"I think that's a good idea" he said with a very hoarse crocky voice.
She looked up and smiled but that disappeared as she realised he was awake.
"How long have you been awake" she asked with concern,
"Not long" he said but winced as he turned his head, and closed his eyes as the light in the cubicle was blinding. "Can you dim the lights" "please" "They are blinding and not making my headache any better" he wined. "And I'm so thirsty".
She turned and first pushed the call button then went to the switch to dim the lights.
"Is that better" she enquired. Then she went to the head of the bed helped him to sit up and picked up a glass and helped him to take a sip.
"Oh that's so nice" he said with a sigh.
At that moment a nurse came in and noticed that he was awake.
"Mr Jane how are you feeling" she said with a smile that did not get to her eyes.
"Tired and still got a headache and feeling a little dizzy and nauseas" he replied with a tight grin. "Never better".
Teresa gave him a nudge on the arm. "Be nice to the nurse she is only trying to make you more comfortable as you're suppose to be still asleep" she told him. But he just looked at her and smiled.
"Stop fussing woman" "I'm only teasing" he said with a sigh. "And stop shouting everything seems so loud".
"What is the matter Patrick the only thing that you can here is the quite bleep of the monitor machines" she says. "They keep the noise down on this word because of the vulnerable patients". Why do say it's loud".
"Well my head is ring very loudly ad I can her voices and they are not stopping talking someone is talking load" he said "And it's driving me crazy".
"Sit down" she said sternly. "I will go and ask the doctor to come and see you it's more like the injury you have received that has made you more sensitive to noise".
"Ok" he said and sat down as ordered with a deep sigh.
