The sickeningly bright lights prodded her eyes open. Jamie blinked, adjusting her sight to the strange environment. The stifling scent of sanitizer and antiseptics greeted her nose. The metal structures beneath the foreign bed squeaked as Jamie propped herself up into an almost seated position. The stir had woke Liam, who had been peacefully sleeping on the armchair beside Jamie.
Liam sprung up and engulfed his sister in a hug. He buried his head into her neck and sighed. His familiar breath was warm and comforting against her cold exterior. She broke off the hug wanting to know what had happened, but before she could question him, she saw a policeman standing at the door of the room. Then her memories came crashing down. Those men were probably dead, and it was all her fault. She was a coward and for that, she could never forgive herself.
Before she let the sadness take over her, she observed the policemen he remained silent, raised his chin slightly above himself and focused his attention straight ahead, almost as if he was on guard. His presence piqued her curiosity, but her caution forbade her from asking who he was.
"Liam what day is it? H-how did I get here?" Jamie asked wanting to know how long she had been unconscious for.
"It's Saturday, the fourth. They brought you in here about two in the morning."
Before Jamie could ask Liam who brought her here, two women entered the room, both wearing scrubs.
"Afternoon Ms. Evans, I'm Dr. Carter and I've just been running some tests on you, I'm glad you're up, mostly because I couldn't take one more minute of Liam breathing down my neck," she laughed.
"I wasn't breathing down your neck, Linda, I was merely ensuring that you had run all the necessary tests Jamie needed and enquiring if you've gotten any results back," Liam defended.
"Liam we've been working together for about six years now, I would think you would be assured of my competence by now, and if you'd have let me finish my previous sentiments, you would know that I had just received Jamie's MRI and CAT scans."
"So are you gonna tell us or not?" Liam questioned impatiently.
"You know Liam, for a nurse, you're awfully impatient. Anyway, back to you dear." Dr. Carter focused on Jamie. She motioned for her assistant nurse to hand her a folder. She pinned up the scans on the board, inviting Liam to take a look.
