"Are you alright, Win?" Wright burst into the emergency room with his helmet still on his head, making everyone around jump in surprise at the sudden intrusion.
"Sorry for disturbing your sleep, Wright. I can't think of anyone else to call, my sister is still on her way back from out-of-town at the moment and..." Win began to profusely explain but the words died on his tongue the moment Wright removed his helmet with a flourish revealing his gorgeous features that made not just one heart within the room leap in excitement.
"Tell me what happened," Wright immediately went to Win's bedside. The younger agent is sitting with his right leg extended and the right ankle bandaged up.
"It was really clumsy of me, I tripped on my own feet and sprained my ankle," Win chuckled awkwardly at how close Wright was sitting next to him as he can feel eyes staring at the two of them out of curiosity.
"Was it him? Was it Joss?" Wright asked in a strained voice while Win cleared his throat and the nurse attending to him seems to have gotten the hint and immediately addressed Wright.
"It's a mild sprain, sir but he might have some difficulty walking and moving around on his own for the next 24 hours. It would be better if there is someone who could stay with him for the meantime," the nurse explained in an even tone despite the blush tinting her cheeks as she stared at the two handsome men in front of her.
"No, don't oblige him. He has kids waiting for him at home," Win exhorted the shocked nurse who blinked several times before finally absorbing the information.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I thought you are his..." The nurse stammered to explain but Wright was quick to supply an answer to the unasked question.
"Friend, I am his only available friend at the moment. It is okay, Miss. I'll take him home. Have you settled the bill yet?" Wright asked in a perfunctory tone as he turned to Win and the nurse silently backed away from the two men.
"He...he paid for it already as my HMO isn't active yet," Win answered in an awkward tone. He hasn't reached the needed tenure to be eligible for the medical coverage an HMO offers.
"He paid for it and then left you here?" Wright asked incredulously.
"He said that he has a shift tonight. I understand that," Win said in a placating tone as he sensed the annoyance in the older man's voice that is drawing attention from the other persons inside the emergency room.
