There was no chance of getting any of their clothes back, they had been incinerated as Grumpy Doctor had said they had. But at least their shoes and personal effects had been returned. Between them they had enough cash to get a cab to Harry's, and now they were stood in the hospital pick up bay waiting.
"I feel like an idiot in these scrubs," Nikki whispered to Harry.
"I don't think it's the scrubs," Harry replied gesturing to the silver foil blanket over her shoulders.
"You two escaping from there, for the rest of the weekend or something?" the cabbie called out to them, as he pulled up.
"Something like that," Harry replied as they climbed in.
"I don't normally pick up from the East Wing, but seeing as you two had the gumption to make it all the way round here to the main entrance I figure I could do you two lovebirds a favour," The cabbie continued.
"We're doctors" answered Harry.
"If you say so," the cabbie replied. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone I've seen you."
"East Wing?" Nikki asked.
Harry looked out of the window as they crawled towards the entrance of the hospital and studied the map.
"Mental Health," he said and smiled.
"He probably doesn't want to know where we've actually come from," Nikki giggled.
"I doubt they advertise it on the car park map either!" Harry suggested.
"Nikki?" Harry asked sometime later as the cab finally got moving and Nikki reached over and took his hand.
"Hmm," she replied.
He looked across at her, she'd only been waiting outside for the cab for five minutes but a bit of colour had already returned to her cheeks, and her eyes had lost their defeated look.
"You know you said 'Let's go and find out?' back when we were in your room."
"Yeees?" she answered.
"You were referring to having sex weren't you, and not shopping for one of those expensive tests. It's just that you could have meant it either way. I'm not sure which way is up anymore. It's been a bit of an odd weekend."
"Harry!" she laughed and kissed him again. "Of course!"
