After the team got back from Bosnia Toby insisted on Happy having her ankle checked out by a proper doctor. Whilst she refused Toby's company Sylvester insisted on Paige accompanying her so she could ensure Happy followed doctors orders. The doctor diagnosed (as Toby predicted) that it was a mild sprain but the cut was in the early stages of infection, he prescribed a cream, a round of antibiotics and a tetanus shot. He ordered her to stay off her ankle for at least a week and (as once again predicted) Paige insisted she take the week of work.
Whilst she objected to the babying of the team Happy agreed to stay at Toby's apartment for the week - her apartment was on the 5th floor of an old building in which the elevator did not work as opposed to Toby's 3rd floor apartment of a new building with a working elevator and cable. This was more efficient.
Happy had spent most of the week watching cable during the day and versing Toby in whatever Xbox game they felt like at night - she was a better driver, thriving in car racing games. While Toby was better with guns, he was surprisingly better at Call of Duty and similar - they had gone through countless cartons of cheap beer.
Walter had called Toby early on Thursday morning because they had a job that just could not wait. Toby had been sleeping on the couch - Happy in his bed - so he was able to leave quickly and quietly without waking her. The job had been important but was done quickly and as there's as nothing else lined up everyone went home. Toby was surprised when he arrived back at his apartment to find the TV on but no Happy.
"Physically impaired mechanic, where are you?" He moved silently around the apartment rustling a bag of take-out as though Happy were a dog and would come running. He heard a soft whimper as he approached the bathroom, cautiously he opened the door. What he saw when he opened the door came as a complete shock, Happy was sitting in the bath whimpering into a bowl of fruitloops. With absolutely no idea what was wrong or how to approach the situation Toby knelt beside the bath and pulled a strand of hair away from the mechanics face.
"What's wrong?" He whispered as she slowly tilted her head to look at him. "They killed her" she whimpered before taking another mouthful of sugary cereal. Toby gave her a quizzical look "who?"
She held out the bowl and he refilled it with cereal, "... They stabbed her... Robb Stark's wife, it was supposed to be happy, but they killed everyone" Happy was shaking her head slowly and Toby began to laugh. "You watched The Red Wedding?" She was chewing slowly and nodding her head slower. Toby was laughing but reached out and put a soft hand on her back, "I'm sorry that you weren't prepared for that episode, but to be fair what we're you expecting?"
Happy shivered at his touch and glared at him but continued to munch on the cereal. "I've replaced our beer and we have take-out. Do you think you can watch the rest of the show?" He was grinning and Happy really did want to watch the rest of the show. "I need a towel"
