As they walked in the smell that every hospital carries greeted them, sickness and bleach. Benny was first, with Roger right behind him. The pair couldn't have looked more different; Benny was in one of his best suits with his face cleanly shaven and his shoes shined, Roger was in an old pair of torn jeans and he obviously hadn't seen a razor in several days.
If one saw them and didn't know any of the history they wouldn't be able to point out a single reason for them to know each other. But in all reality they had been best friends and roommates for several years. Money had split them up but Mimi had brought them back together.
Their varying appearances also gave two different greetings at the front desk. Benny was greeted with a smile and a prompt answer. Roger was stared at and had to wait several minutes to be told the room. He wouldn't have been told at all likely except Benny turned around and met him with a handshake. The nurse only then told him staring at the two friends with a very, very confused look.
