" Code Silver! "
Nigel heard the sharp page over the hospital intercom just as a nurse was in his room taking his regular vitals. What was a code silver? , he thought. He also wondered where Richard was right now. Probably outside smoking those disgusting things.
" What does that code mean? "
The nurse was trying to sound as calm as usual but he could almost feel a tension growing in the room. He could also hear a slight nervousness in her voice as she said," Oh nothing for you to worry about. You just concentrate on getting better. That husband of yours is very handsome. How long have you all been together? "
Nigel ignored the reference to his " husband" and leaned closer to where he could hear her voice. " What does it bloody damn mean ? " He hated that the more stressed he got the deeper his British accent got. He could literally hear the Cockney in his voice at that moment.
He heard her sighing. " It means that there might be a weapon in the hospital. Or an active shooter. But I am certain it's just a false alarm. Don't worry. "
A shooter? A cold feeling crept over Nigel's body. Where the fuck was his Richard at ?
