When Alex came back to reality she was back in the hospital. This was getting old fast. She felt stiff and shifted to move. The sudden movements set off waves of pain. She felt like her body had been run through a blender. Her eye was puffy and she could feel at least one broken rib. As she looked down her body she noticed that her already injured arm was in a cast. Sheesh, this guy had beat her to a pulp. She was happy when her nurse came in, Becky, she remembered. "I didn't want to see you back so soon." Becky said, smiling at her. "Well, to be honest, neither did I." Alex said returning the smile. "What exactly happened to me? I don't remember a lot." Alex questioned. "You and a suspect came in, both with severe injuries. We stabilized you pretty quickly but we almost lost the other guy twice." she explained. She didn't have time to fight, so how had the suspect been injured? Oh god, she realized, it had to be Bobby.
The 5 days she was in the hospital she never saw Bobby. It was hard to admit, but it made her slightly angry. She knew he had come though, that much was clear. Everyday she would wake up to the smell of a different flower. On Monday it was a calla lily. On Tuesday it had been tulips. Wednesday it was a marigold and on Thursday it was a big sunflower. Her last day in the hospital she received 2 beautiful roses. She knew Bobby could be thoughtful, but this was so sweet. The sweetness that the flowers brought also turned her thoughts sour. Alex had overheard the nurses say that Kurtis intended to sue for police brutality.She felt her normally completely solid world begin to shake. How was she supposed to act? Her partner, her best friend, might lose his badge for protecting her.
