Joe's private hospital room was empty when Winston came in to visit his new husband. The first thing he saw was the stripped hospital bed . The next thing he saw was all of Joe's belongings gone. What he did not see was Joe.
His eyes grew wider and his mouth opened slightly as he tried to figure out what was going on. Where the hell was Joe Jacobs ?
A nurse was passing by in the hallway so he motioned her inside the room. He pointed at the bed and then the door. The simple gestures seemed to confuse her so he took out his dry erase board and wrote on it " Joe Jacobs. Where is he? Is he okay? "
The nurse said," Oh. He was really groggy from his pain medicine but his husband checked him out of the hospital. "
Winston's heart began to thud like a herd of elephants trampling a rose garden. He grabbed her arm and tried to force words from his mouth. " No...... I..... No....."
He erased the previous words on the board. He wrote out ," I'm his husband. I didn't check him out. Where is he? Where is Joe? Please tell me. "

Joe Jacobs woke up in a room but it was not his hospital room. And it was not his room at home. Or even Winston's which he had been sharing with the man more than his own.
He was in a small cramped bedroom in a double bed. And he was handcuffed to the bed.
What the fuck.....
What the hell was going on? Where was he? And where was Winston?
Then the door to the room opened swiftly. In walked David HighTower with a big smile on his handsome face. He was holding a wicker tray with a bowl of cereal, buttered toast and orange juice on it.
" Well , about time you are awake, lover. I've missed you. "
