Epilogue

"You look like I feel," James teased Lewis.

"Don't talk so loud, please," he held a cold compress to his forehead. Keeping his eyes closed tight.

"Okay," James whispered. "It was still funny to see your faces when that nurse found you here at two in the morning, drinking."

"Don't remind me," he flinched. "Has the doctor been by?"

"He stopped by while you were loudly sleeping," James lowered his voice when he saw his partner cringe. He looked a PC Bell sleeping in the corner with Yulissa laying her head on his lap. MacGim snored softly in a chair near the door. Laura left when the night nurse barged in. Luckily she let the rest stay after James told her he could see again.

"What did he say?" Lewis moaned when he spoke too loud.

"They're move me to rehab tomorrow," he happily announced. "I'll be there for about two weeks. Then I get to go HOME!"

"SSSHHHH," MacGim reminded him to keep his voice down.

Whispering he leaned close to Lewis, "I want some real food. Can you smuggle a burger in here?"

"Only if you eat if quietly," MacGim answered for Lewis.

"Yes," James cheered. Mindy barked loudly causing the hungover men to moan. "Make that two burgers."

"I'm beginning to like you better when you were quietly sulking," Lewis quipped.

James was not listening. He was dreaming about the juicy burger and more. "A candy bar! Yeah, can you get me a Yorkie," he asked. "And please try to sneak in a pint." Moans erupted from the men and pillows flew toward James.

Author Notes:

I hope you enjoyed my first attempt at writing Lewis Fanfiction. I'm sorry the story was so long in length and in the time for me to finish. If you have time, please review the story.

My little knowledge of UK police procedures I've learned from reading, searching the internet and watching shows like: Midsomer Murders, Morse, Lewis, Foyle's War, The Sweeny and Thin Blue Line.

My medical and rescue knowledge are like my knowledge of police procedures. I've learned from reading, searching the net and watching shows like: House, ER and Emergency

A few interesting facts –

RAF Shellingford:

In the story I had James trapped at an old airfield. This airfield really existed, it was RAF Shellingford near the town of Faringdon in Oxfordshire. It was a WWII flying training base from 1931 to 1948. You can search on Wikipedia for more information about the historical base.

Mindy:

In the story Mindy is a rescued dog from Afghanistan. Many of the soldiers have rescued stray and abused dogs and cats while deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. To bring these loving pets to the states and the UK cost a lot of money. With the help of rescue groups like Nowzad and Puppy Rescue Mission soldiers are able to give forever home to their four-legged companions. Please go to Facebook and search Nowzad and Puppy Rescue Mission and read these heart warming stories about the rescues they have done.

Cherwell Boat House:

Cherwell Boat House is a real restaurant in Oxford. The pictures of Cherwell Boat House reminds me of a scene in the Lewis episode: Point Of Vanishing.

Google Maps UK:

I used Google Maps UK for research while writing this story. You can search the maps and see the streets that I wrote about. I enjoyed hours trying to find the right house for James.

I chose Cherwell Street because I needed a house with some woods nearby and a river.
