"What?!" Tami, Dustin and Joey all said at the same time.
"She is awake." the nurse said, letting everyone breath again. "Finally, The doctors were beginning to get worried. It was difficult to get the bullet out and she ended up needing 22 stitches, and she lost a lot of blood. She needed a blood transfusion, it's not dire anymore. But her body was low on plasma. She is still hooked up to the I.v. so she isn't supposed to move much… but it should be okay for you to go see her.
"Thank you." Joey said. "What room is she in?"
"Here I will show you she said, walking down the hallway. The group followed her.
The nurse a young women, know older then 25. She had shoulder length blonde hair. Her hair was wavy, which really framed her face.
"She is in this door here." The nurse said pointing to a door.
"Okay thank you!" Tammy said.
Dustin opened the door slightly and saw Mary starting at the wall.
"Knock-Knock!" he said opening the door all the way and walking inside.
"Hi!" she said with a small smile.
"How are you feeling?" Tami asked with a smile.
"Okay… despite from all the needles… I am beginning to feel like a pin cushion. Mary said.
Everyone laughed. The for a few minutes everyone was silent. Joey sat down in a chair beside Mary's bed, and Tam I and Dustin sat in chairs on the other side of the room.
"You guys…" Mary almost whispered. "What ever happened to the man?"
"Uhhh…" Dustin said. "The doctors didn't tell you?"
"Mary shook her head. "I don't even know how I got to the hospital. I just know I was shot."
Tami was the first to speak up. "As soon as Joey hung up the phone he dropped what he was doing and drove as fast as he could over to my house." "Leaving some of us very confused." Dustin said with a smirk.
Tami smiled. "Anyway…" she continued. "He heard gunfire and you scream so he ran inside. Which caused to man to run away." "So the police didn't catch him?" Mary asked looking worried.
Joey shook his head. "I almost chased after him… but I saw you were hurt so I took you to the hospital via ambulance."
Mary nodded.
But then they were interrupted by the nurse coming back in.
"Hi Hon, How you feeling?" the nurse said to Mary.
"Hi Maggie. I am feeling fine just tired of needles." she said with a smile.
"That's okay… it's time for the iv to come out anyway." Maggie said taking the needle out of her arm.
"I will be back soon to check on you." Maggie said leaving the room.
"Ughh…" Tami groaned.
"What?" Dustin asked.
"Why do the have to keep these rooms so empty and colorless! It's depressing!." she answered.
"Maybe it's to contrast with your outfit." Dustin joked.
Tami was wearing a bright red mini skirt with bright yellow tights under it. Her shirt was the same color as he skirt and had a bright yellow smiley face on it. She had big hoop earrings on, they were also red.
"Haha very funny." Tami said sarcastically.
"Joey and Mary laughed.
"Tami original?" Mary asked.
"Yep." Tami answered.
"I thought so." Dustin said.
Tami elbowed him.
"What?!" he shouted.
Tami just rolled his eyes.
Mary giggled and Joey smiled.
"No! Seriously! What did I do!?"
Everyone besides Dustin laughed.
"Whatever." Dustin said with a shrug of the shoulders.
Then Mary said, "The man… that shot me… did you see his face, Joey?" Joey nodded.
"What did he look like?" Tami asked.
"He was middle aged… had a rather large nose… rather tall." Joey stated. "I didn't a really good look at him… he ran away so quickly." "And we may never see him again." Mary said.
Everyone let her words slowly sink in.
"In other words, we may never know what he wanted."
