  She retrieves her pistol midway from her purse when suddenly the nurse walks into the room forcing Jamie to quickly hide the weapon back inside.

  She sees the nurse doing a follow-up on a heavily sedated Officer Bob before grabbing her clipboard and making her way to check on an additional patient residing across the passageway.

  Upon approaching the doorway, Jamie gets the nurses attention by saying "Tsssk.."

The nurse pauses, looks back while smacking on some gum and asks "Sir, did you need me for something?"  Without a word, Jamie waves for her to come closer as if she had a secret to share.

  The baffled nurse comes closer as Jamie leans towards her asking in a whisper "What happened to him?"  The nurse responds by saying "Sir, I can't tell you.  If I did, it would violate our HIPA requirements and I could potentially lose my job."

  Jamie's voice goes up an octave as she says "C'mon, please?" The nurse pauses, looks around, then leans in towards Jamie and says "Somebody shot half of his shit off."

  Jamie's eyes widen as she points to her crotch asking "You talking about his... actual shit?" The nurse covers her mouth to contain her laughter as she looks Jamie in the eyes and says "Yes sir....the actual shit."

  Jamie covers her mouth out of shock as she watches him sympathetically and says  "Girl, I love dick too much to do something like that...you know what I mean.."

  The nurse co-signs by saying "Girrl, I know that's right."  As they laugh momentarily, then become silent after realizing that they can be heard from outside of the room.

  The nurse whispers "I'll stop back by here shortly." as she goes about her way to tend to her other patient.  Jamie sits up in her bed looking in Bob's direction.  She cannot believe that he is missing half of his penis and almost felt bad for reaching for her weapon to kill him moments ago.

  He looks to be sound asleep as she watches him and cringes at the thought of how it must have felt.  Curiosity overwhelmed her as she felt the dire need to see exactly what it looked like in his injured state.

  To test to see how deep of a sleep he was in, she grabs a eating utensil that was placed upon her food tray and drops it on the floor allowing it to make a loud clinging sound.

  Looking his way, she noticed no reaction as she began to wonder if he was even alive.  She looks toward the entrance as both of her bare feet meet the cool hospital tiling as she slowly makes her way toward him.

  As she stood before him, she pulls his sheets back to see his sporty hospital gown draped over his nude body.  She glances at the entrance once again before leaning towards him pulling the gown back to see the damage making her eyes grow wider than they've ever been.

  "Good lord!" She says as she witnesses a horrific site that will possibly haunt her for the rest of her life.  In viewing, she suddenly feels his hand make contact with her as he pulls the back of her head closer to his area of interest.

She slaps his hand and pushes it to the side as he strangely remains unconscious.  Figuring he must have done it subconsciously, she pulls the covers back over him and backs away from him.

  "Fuckin' freak!" She whispers as she tip toes her way back to her bed.  She grabs the remote control and flips through channels, as she hears Phillip's voice while he chats with one of  the nurses out in the passageway.

  She pulls the covers over herself and turns to her side acting as if she were sleeping before his grand entrance.

  "Babeeeee....Bae! BAE!" She hears him whisper to him loudly as she opens her eyes at slight to see that he brought her a bouquet of flowers.  In an aggravated state, she sits up in the bed and takes the flowers struggling to put on a smile for him.

  "Thank you Phillip." she says as he says "That's not all sweat heart..." She looks at him strangely as he gets down on one bended knee and holds a box out in front of her. "You got to be fucking kidding me!" she thinks to herself....
