The night had soon ended and Nick was now sitting at home. He had had a shower, got everythingready for tomorrow morning and was sitting in front of the TV watching the news. It was talking about last nights riots and then it came on about the stabbing.

It showed the crime scene and Nick remembered what it was like inside. He read the bottom of the screen and a man was under arrest fortwo attemptive murder charges. Nick was confused. That was the man that rang them, the paramedics. Turns out that he was the one that hit the boy and stabbed Zoe. He was stupid enough to do it infront of store camera's.

Nick kicked the coffee table in anger. The man was the attacker. And he stood face to face with him at one point. How dare he lie like that. He could have killed two innocent people that night.

He had had enough of watching the news as he had anger coursing through him. He turned off the TV and headed up to bed. He figured that the quicker he went to bed, the quicker morning would come. But he was wrong.

He couldn't sleep easy that night. He had the news on his mind, and of course Zoe. He was wondering how much sleep she was getting while wearing the halo. He figured that nurses would have given her pain relief to keep her sleeping throughout the night.

"Morning." Sarah said to him as he walked through the door with his bags. "How are you?"
"Not great this morning." He said. "Didn't get too much sleep. What about you?"
"Oh i'm alright." She smiled at him. "From what I understand, Zoe had a good first night."
"She did?" Nick said. "Thats good. I thought she wouldn't after the halo."
"They give them pain relief to help with the pain and help with their sleeping." Sarah explained. So Nick was right.
"I see." Nick said. "I'd better go and see her."
"They have moved her into a different room as she has recovered quite a bit from the surgery's yesterday."
"Okay. What room?"
"Room 26, second floor."
"Thanks." Nick said, and walked to the elevator.

Walking into Zoe's room, he could see her arms move as she heard the door open.
"Nick?" She said.
"Yeah its me." He replied, and walked over to her beside so she could see him. "How are you doing?"
"Alright." She said. "Could be better, obviously. What about you? You don't look too good."
"I couldn't sleep." He said. "Did you hear about what happened on the news?"
"No." She said. "What happened?"
"The man that rang the paramedics..."
"The one that stopped that boy attacking me?" She spat.
"Well..."
"What about the man?" She pressed, and Nick sighed. "Tell me!"
"He did this to you. Not the boy!" Nick said. "It was on the news last night."
"What?" She screached. "No. Then what about the boy?"
"He is okay, bad concussion though." Nick said.
"How do they know it was him anyway?" Zoe asked, angry tears in her eyes.
"The store had CCTV camera's, and his wife handed him in." Nick explained.
"Oh." She said.
"I bought you some stuff." He said.
"What did you bring?" She asked him.
"Stuff for you to do." He shrugged. "Pretty much everything you can't go a day without."
"Thanks." She smiled and Nick put the bags down. He held her hand kissed her knuckles. "There is nothing wrong with my face you know." She smiled, so he leaned over and kissed her gently. "Im not a china doll." She said, and he hardened the kiss.
"Sorry." He apologised.
"Don't be sorry." She said. "I know why your being gentle." He smiled. He loved how she understood him. "So who is visiting me today then?"
"I think Lenny and Linda." Nick said.
"That will be fun." Zoe smirked.
"I know, Lenny's a joker." Nick laughed.

They spent the whole day chatting and having some time to themselves, and time really got away from them. When they realised they had visitors, the knew they had been talking for most of the day.
"Wow, if time goes as quick as it did today, I will be up in no time at all." Zoe said, as Nick opened the door to welcome Linda and Lenny.
"Alright Dr Hanna?" Lenny said, walking in to the room and plopping himself down in the chair.
"Yeah Im good." She said, and watched Linda sit on Lenny's lap. She thought they make a good couple.
"Great." Linda said.
"How are you guys?" She asked, and they all soon got talking.

Nick made himself comfy on the chair at the back of the room, and soon his eyes were beginning to shut on him. He fell asleep on the chair, and the rest of the people in the room were oblivious to it.

Later, around nine, Lenny and Linda had agreed to leave as it was getting a bit late an they had an early shift in the morning.
"Oh look." Zoe said, looking at Nick, and they all turned to look at him.
"Aww." Linda said. Nick was fast asleep. His mouth was open wide as he leant up against the back of the chair.
"Could you wake him up?" Zoe asked. "It won't be good for his back and neck if he stays like that all night."
"Sure." Lenny said, and walked over to him. He shook him gently, and this took Zoe by surprise. She thought he would have clapped loudly in his face or something like that. "Mr Jooooorrrrdaaaaaan."
"Hmm what?" He said, opening his eyes. "Oh. What time is it?"
"Gone nine." Lenny said, and Nick sat forwards and rubbed his eyes, then placing his arms in his lap.
"Nick, go home and sleep."
"Okay." Nick said, and got his bags together while he had a series of yawns.
"Bye Nick. Sleep well." She gave him evils. "Or else."
"Haha." Nick said. "See you tomorrow morning."
"Bye. Love you." She said, as he left the room.
"We had better go too." Linda said. "Do you want anything before we leave?"
"Nah, i'll be fine." She smiled.
"Well, we'll be off." Lenny said, picking up his coat and his car keys. "Sleep well Dr Hanna."
"I will thank you." She laughed. Lenny was a real character.
"Bye Zoe." Linda waved and smiled as she left.
"Bye guys." Zoe waved with he arm that wasn't in plaster.
