Thanks to everyone who sent in a review. Been listening to a lot of E-Rotic lately and though that this song fit in this chapter. It's called "Gimme Gimme Gimme". I don't own it but it's very good.

Thursday
I stumbled into work on edge and feeling like I hadn't slept at all. My right wrist was bandaged from the fall yesterday. Just a sprain luckily. I did my usual routine of shower, dress and loading my cart before checking in for the day.
"V checking in. Good morning." I pulled my hair back into a ponytail and strapped my radio to my shirt once again.
"Morning V. Room 4217 needs cleaning patient in therapy." The radio cut off with a soft click.
"Oh goodie." I stepped into the elevator and pressed 4 once again. The elevator hummed softly and the doors opened with a soft ding. 4217 was unguarded so I let myself in and began cleaning. It was a mess. Edward had scribbled my name several times across his room. There were new green question marks all over his cell that I once again needed to scrub off. Once I got to the metal above his sink I noticed he had written a riddle there for me. 'What is red, dresses in blue and will break my bed right in two?' I closed my eyes and shook my head. The riddle scrubbed of easily and I polished the metal to a mirror shine. I made sure nothing was left behind before slipping back out into the hallway. "V done with room 4217." I rubbed my wrist absently while waiting for my next room.
I won't hold it back on you
Come on come on, our dreams come true
I want you so don't you deny
That you, you, you want to fly
Forever we can make it tonight
I really want to hold you tight
A little bit is not enough
So gimme gimme gimme your love
Oh baby
Gimme gimme gimme your love
'Cause I need it so
Gimme gimme gimme your heart
Come close and
Gimme gimme gimme your passion baby
Let your body take part
So let's go
"V report to room 4335 patient in protective lockup. Room has been searched for contraband. Linens safe to handle."
"Here we go." This one sounded easy and it was. I pushed the mattress back onto the bed support and began stripping the linens and cleaning the floor. I set a new pile of sheets on the bed and wiped down the walls and fixtures. The metal didn't need much polishing and saved me some time. With a click I was back out into the hallway and dumping the dirty towels into my cart. "V done with room 4335 awaiting orders."
"V please report to room 4653. Patient in therapy safe to clean unescorted."
"Finally!" I quickly hurried to the room and let myself in. My hopes were dashed when I found the room looking like a tornado struck it. He had written "Ha Ha Ha" over a hundred times on the wall and his sink was covered in black, white and red paint. His bed had spots of green dye over it. I rubbed my wrist before grabbing my mop, this had better clean up on the first go or I'd kick his ass myself.
Gimme gimme gimme your love
Baby heat me up
Gimme gimme gimme your smile
I want you
Gimme gimme gimme your body babe
And stay with me for awhile
So come on
Gimme gimme gimme your love (your love)
Gimme gimme gimme your heart (your heart)
All you do is call to me
It's not so easy can't you see
I want you, but I want you too much
But I'm so wild 'till we touch
Oh baby give me all you've got
Come on let my mind get hot
Baby make my engine start
Gimme gimme gimme your heart
I was sitting on the now clean bed staring at the squeaky clean room around me. My feet and wrist were killing me. I lifted my arms above my head to stretch my back out when the door swung open.
"Oh hell yes finally. Finally a mint left on my pillow." 4653 was struggling against the guards holding him. He was smirking and staring right at me. My face paled and I quickly lowered my arms and stood up. I couldn't leave the room without getting close to him.
"Hurry miss this ones slippery." One of the guards pulled him back with a grunt of effort. I quickly fled the room and heard the door slam closed. I started loading my cart and froze. I had left a bottle of cleaner in the room. I turned and found the guards gone already.
"Oh crap." I looked in the room and 4653 had gotten out of his restraints and was shaking the bottle at me with a giant smile on his face.
"Oh no look what someone forgot." He laughed and reclined onto his bed. "Better come and get it."
I grabbed my radio to call for a guard but stopped when one walked around the corner. I looked back into the room then back at the guard. "Hey can I get a little help here please?" The guard noticed what room I was in front of and quickly rushed to my side.
"Miss I'm going to need you to step back." He pulled out his tazer and brashly flung open the door to the room. "Joker that's enough now give me the bottle and no one gets medicated with watts today. I've packed a double just for you."
"Oh Steven you've ruined all my fun. Was going to get that tasty mint all to myself today." I heard the zap of electricity and the guard walked out of the room with my bottle. Closing the door he looked at me smirking.
"Next time don't leave anything in his cell. I won't report you if you don't report me." He tossed me the bottle and as he went to leave I felt a firm pinch on my ass.
"Hey don't do that!" I jumped away from him and he strode away as if nothing had happened. This was so not my day. I slammed the cleaning bottle down on my cart and took a moment to calm my nerves. "V finished with room 4653. Awaiting next room assignment."
"V please report to room 4513 patient in medical ward. Hazmat guidelines applied." I was rushing down the hall even before my radio clicked off.
"Oh god Edward you didn't do it did you?" I slipped my name tag into the reader and fumbled with my code. I was expecting a scene from a horror movie. The door opened and I noticed that there was only blood on the bed. The walls were clean, the floor had a small trail of blood leading to the door. Nothing was out of place. My throat was dry as I clicked my radio on. "V to maintenance please respond."
"Hey V this is Larry at your service what's up?" He sounded chipper.
"Need a new mattress for room 4513. Hazmat protocol." I slipped my gown and gloves on then covered my feet with the rubber booties. Was he hurt because of me?
"Be right there babe." The radio went quiet and I stripped the linens from the bed. I mopped up the blood and dumped everything into my basket. I didn't wait for Larry and shut the door behind me.
"V finished with room 4513. Larry to finish Hazmat cleaning. Dumping my Hazmat material awaiting next room assignment." I pushed my cart to the elevator and made it to the laundry room before my legs gave out under me. Was he dead? Did I cause this? With great effort I dumped everything into a red bag and shoved it into the chute. I cleaned up and restocked my sanitized cart before heading back to work.
The end of the day didn't come fast enough for me. I signed out and headed home to nurse my wounds and finish off my pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Oh baby
Gimme gimme gimme your love
'Cause I need it so
Gimme gimme gimme your heart
Come close and
Gimme gimme gimme your passion baby

Friday
I trudged to work hoping that I wouldn't have to clean up anymore blood. I had been up most of the night with nightmares. I finished my usual routine and pushed my cart onto the elevator.
"Good morning V checking in." I tried to sound more upbeat then I felt.
"Morning V. Please report to med wing on second floor. Doctors request assistance for care of patient."
"I'm needed to clean a patient?" Was I being 'promoted' again? I was a housekeeper not a nurse.
"Temporary assignment V. Don't worry." The radio clicked off and I pressed 2 waiting for the doors to click shut.

I left my cart outside the door to the medical wing as a nurse quickly grabbed me and pulled me into a room.
"Finally you got here. He won't take his medications or let us treat him until he sees you." Her eyes were accusing. I assumed that Edward was here and putting up a fuss. She pulled me into the room and up to a bed. "Here she is now take your medications and let us help you." I looked down at the bed and saw Crane sitting there looking like hell. He was pale and had bags under his eyes. He looked like he hadn't slept in awhile and was handcuffed to the bed. He was topless and I could see a long cut going down his chest from his shoulder to just above his navel. It didn't look deep but had apparently been bleeding a lot, the sheets around him stained with blood. He didn't have any IV's and was struggling against his bonds.
"Hey baby, come to take care of me now?" He tried to smile but his head fell back against the pillows. He was gasping for air and beads of sweat trailed down his body. Was he in pain? Did he have an infection?
"Crane." My throat was dry. I didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry baby I'll be good now. I'll take that IV and those meds now. But I want her here, get a chair." His eyes were barely showing as he seemed almost unconscious. The nurse let go of me and suddenly had an IV with a bag of blood and fluids next to him. I flinched as she jammed a needle into his arm to start the IV. I hated needles. A guard came in with a chair and set it next to his bed, but not too close.
"I'm supposed to be working. I don't think they want me in here all day." I wanted to leave, this was getting to be too much for me.
"Sorry miss, orders from the boss. If he'll take his meds and behave you'll stay here till he's healed." He walked over to the door and stood facing in at both of us. "Don't worry I'll be here all day if I need to be." He smiled and stood at attention making me feel a little bit safer.
The chair was uncomfortable, a small plastic seat on metal legs. I scooted away from the bed and sighed to myself. What a great day this turned out to be.
Gimme gimme gimme your love
Baby heat me up
Gimme gimme gimme your smile
I want you
Gimme gimme gimme your body babe

It was nearing time to check out and I was ready to go. True to his word the guard stood all day making sure Crane didn't do anything to me. The most that happened was Crane breaking out of sedation for a moment to make sure I was still there. How anyone could not be unconscious after being pumped full of sedation was beyond me. I couldn't even leave the room when the nurse stitched him up though. I watched her put forty-seven black stitches across his chest. I felt queasy and had to look away. I was so looking forward to going home when my radio crackled to life.
"V hope your not heading home. You've been assigned overnight weekend hours. Hope you're comfy in med ward."
The guard's radio crackled to life and he stepped into the hallway to take it. He looked troubled when he stepped back in. "I'll be back as soon as I can miss. Trouble in the cafeteria, need to help break it up." He looked at Crane then hurried down the hall.
"Seriously!" I hung my head into my hands and leaned over the side of the chair. Not only was I stuck here till Monday but it seemed I was now babysitting. He was already attached to me as it was, how will he act knowing I was going to be sitting next to him all weekend long?
"Oh yes just stay right like that." His voice was horse. I looked up and found him staring intently down my shirt. While I was loathing in self pity I had created a nice gap for him to stare down.
"You're wounded Crane. Keep it to yourself." I sighed and quickly sat up adjusting my shirt. I was angry and tired. Thanks to him I hadn't eaten all day and I was quickly becoming cranky. He sat up a bit and looked as if he had something to say but was interrupted by a cafeteria worker strutting in with two trays.
"Hope you're all hungry." He smiled as if nothing was wrong and set a tray in front of Crane and one by me. "The special today is a hot turkey sandwich smothered in gravy with mashed potatoes. There is cherry jell-o for desert. I snuck some Mr. Pibb in for you all to drink too. Enjoy!" As quickly as he came in he was gone leaving me holding my tray and trying not to drool all over.
"Smells almost as good as you do." Crane smirked until he tried to lift his hands to eat. Both had been cuffed to the sides of the bed and growled a bit while tugging on his restraints.
"Crane stop, if you promise not to touch me I'll feed you." I set my tray on the table next to me and stood up. He almost looked as if he could break the handcuffs and I most certainly didn't want him having free hands around me. He smiled a mile wide as I pushed a button raising his bed to a sitting position.
"Oh I won't touch, but can you keep your hands off me?"
"Oh look jell-o." I shoved some into his face to shut him up. Maybe I should have used a fork because he sucked on my fingers for a moment. Not making that mistake again I used the plastic fork to feed him and 'accidentally' stabbed his tongue with it. He ate his meal silently and drained his soda before laying back down and just watching me.
I ate in silence and tried to ignore him. He would make noises in his throat every time I would eat some jell-o. I couldn't help it that I could only eat jell-o with my hands. Every time I slipped a cube of jiggly goodness into my mouth he would groan and tug on his restraints. I sucked my fingers clean and finished my Pibb. I prayed that he wouldn't get free because he certainly looked like he had enough blood in him now to fill all his extremities. I just really wanted to get back to work and hoped he would heal fast. I would rather clean cells then being eye fucked by a man who could probably break his restraints if provoked enough. I stacked our trays and set them to the side for pickup. I was really hoping that the guard would come back soon. Crane was fully out of sedation now and was staring at me as if he could will my clothing off.
