Chapter 40 - Have a leave

When I was waiting for news about Joe, Marcus comes out after some time, and when he looked at me, he said: "he is good now."

"Tell me what the fuck has happened," I said, while looking into his eyes. When I was doing it, he looked at me, and then he said, "I don't know exactly."

"So tell me what you know," I said.

"Someone close morphine and disconnected device which Joe had to contact with the nurse," he said while looking at me, and when he was doing it, he takes a deep breath, and he added, "we are moving him to VIP sector."

"OK, I will contact Alice to check everything," I said.

"OK," he said, and when he comes back to the room, I take my phone, and when I called her, she answered, and then she said, "what's up."

"Check who was in Joe's room," I said.

"Why," she asked.

"Someone has attacked him," I said.

"OK," she said, and when she ended the call, I looked at Joe, who was moved out, with his bed. While seeing it, I looked at Marcus, who comes closer to me, and I said, "I will go now. Inform me if something else happens."

"OK," he said, and when I walked out of the hospital, I go directly into the car, and while being there, I drove to the company. While being there, after some time, I go directly to Alice's floor, and without knocking, I come to her room. While being there, I looked at her, and then she said, "I have nothing."

"What," I said.

"Each of the cameras in the hospital was off then," she said.

"Street," I asked.

"I'm checking them too, but nothing," she said, while looking at me. While she was doing it, I said: "OK, continue checking it, I will be in my office, inform me when you find something."

"OK," she said, and when she comes back to work, I walked out, and as I come to my office, I sit, and then I started looking at the wall. While I was doing it, I slapped myself a little on my face, and when I had done this, I started working. While I have done this, I couldn't do it for longer, as still, I was thinking about Joe, and how he is feeling now.

In a hospital. (Joe POV)

When I wake up again, I moved a little, and then I could hear Marcus' voice, "so how are you feeling?"

"Pain," I said somehow.

"Don't worry, all be good soon," he said, and when I could hear that he walked closer, he asked me, "do you remember if something happened after I walked out?"

"I don't know at what hour someone come, and as he or she walked around, and then walked out," I said to him.

"OK, thanks," he said, and when I could feel that he is doing something around my face, he said, "today, you might see a little."

"Good," I said while being in the total dark is so bad. While hearing me, he said, "tell me when you will not feel pain."

"OK," I said, and when slowly pain started disappearing after some time, I couldn't feel it at all, and then I said, "now."

"OK," he said, and then I could feel something cold touching my face. While feeling it, I said, "what is happening."

"Don't worry, it is ice, to help your face to come back to normal faster," he said, and when he walked a little away. He added, "when you are here, I checked all one again, and only you had a little broken rib not totally, and your nose is broke."

"Fuck, that is why I can't breathe by it," I said.

"Yes, but don't worry, it was repaired, when you were unconscious. So soon you can use it, but the small scar will be there," he said.

"As I care about it," I said, and then I asked him, "which hour is now."

"Nine will be soon," he said.

"Fuck my work," I said while trying to move, but then all the ice which I had on my face, go down. While hearing me, he said, "don't worry, she knows what has happened, and you have a leave."

"OK," I said while moving a little of my head, and when I had done this, he said, "I will be going now, don't worry, all is working, and soon food will come."

"I'm not hungry," I said.

"You will eat, doctor orders," he said.

"OK," I said, and when I lay like that for some time, I could hear that someone come, and then I could hear "food has come."

"OK, but I'm not hungry," I said.

"Oh, don't worry it's liquid," the woman said, and when I could feel that she moved closer to my mouths drinking straw, I started drinking what was there.

When I drank for some time, I could hear that she walked out, and as it was awful, I moved it out, and like that, I waited. When I was doing it, I could hear that some doctors come as they discuss around, and as they were checking me, I answered a few questions, and as all was done, I had only peace here. As it was happening for who knows how long, I could hear that someone come inside, and then I could hear the boss voice, "Joe, how are you feeling."

"Better than it looks, boss," I said.

"OK, rest here until you will heal fully," she said.

"I will be, and as soon as I can see, I will come back to work," I said.

"You don't need to," she said, and before I could say something, someone else come inside, and then I could hear Marcus' voice, "oh Megan, you are here."

"Yes," the boss said.

"Oh, babe" I could hear another female voice, and then Marcus said, "Alice, you are here too."

"Yes, I want something," she said, and then I could hear Marcus' words, "we will be outside."

"OK, I'm fine now, so don't worry about me," I said, and when I could hear that they walked out, I waited with hope. I can see one again as ice on my face was changed. As being in dark isn't so nice, and once again, I want to see light, not only dark everywhere.
