"Chapter 11- Mr. Volonsky"
"I think he is coming to!" someone said.
Dmitry opened his eyes which wasn't reliable for a moment until they settled back into position. He was back at his station of Voikovskaya in the infirmary. He had a really nasty head ace and he couldn't move his right leg.
"Stay in bed buddy. Its over, you did it." Someone else said.
He vision finally restored and Vera was standing next to his bed.
Sukhoi was on the other side.
"What happened?" Dmitry asked.
"You got pretty beat up out there kid. Your leg was broken and you skull was cracked. Not as bad as your friend over there." Sukhoi said.
"Friend?" Dmitry asked.
"Karmin." Vera said.
"He survived, how is he?"
"He is going to be in that bed for a while kid." Sukhoi said.
"How long was I out?" Dmitry asked.
"About two weeks, you're lucky to have a friend who cares so much for you. Vera stayed at your side the entire time." Sukhoi said.
Dmitry looked at Vera who was giving a sly little smile.
"The um… water is purified once again and we have been getting to work fixing all that we lost over the past few weeks, but I'll leave you two to talk. Don't want to bore you with all this." Sukhoi said and left the room.
"Vera, I can't thank you enough for all this, for going to get help and staying with me all this time." Dmitry said.
"After what happened to my father and what you did for me I thought I should have stayed with you." Vera said.
"You never had to."
"I know. I wanted to. I say you owe me."
"Um, what did you want?"
"How about you take me for a nice meal when you're better, then well see what happens next."
