Chapter 6: Awakening
When I awoke, all I saw was white. It was a familiar scene for me. The hospital…
"Hey look he's finally awake," I heard Ghost say. I tilted my head to the left to see him and Captain Mactavish sitting by my bedside.
"How you doing?" Captain asked.
"My head hurts," I said in a weak voice.
"I bet, the doctor said you might have suffered a concussion," Ghost said.
"How's Pig?" I asked, wondering about my injured squad mate.
"Well he was injured pretty badly, but it looks like he'll make it," Captain said.
"Yeah, he's over there," Ghost said pointing to the right of me.
I turned over to see Pig asleep in another hospital bed. His leg was elevated in a splint, and he had a large bandage on his fore head.
"And Yak?" I inquired.
"Poor chap didn't make it," Ghost replied.
"Oh," I said with sorrow in my voice. "Well what exactly happened out there?" I asked.
"Well…," Ghost began, but was cut off by the nurse.
"I'm going to need you two to leave," the nurse said as she entered the cramped hospital room, "It's time for them to take their medicine and sleep."
"We'll debrief you later," Captain said as the two soldiers left.
The nurse hurried over to Pig and gave him a shot in the arm, and then she came to me. "I'm going to need you to swallow this," she said as she handed me a pill.
I downed the pill then asked, "How long will I be here?"
"I think you're out tomorrow," the nurse replied, "But for now, sleep."
I suddenly felt the drowsiness of the pill take over me, and the white of the room, turned to black.
