    " You bloody bastard!" Half yells John. 

   I flinch slightly at his words, " Be quiet, everyone in the whole hospital will hear you."

    " I don't give a shit!"

     " John, I'm sorry. I didn't think he'd be so bold as to have someone shoot you."

    " It's Moriarty!" John shouts, exasperated, " No one can predict what he'll do! Not even you!" I'm about to apologize again, but John cuts me off, " I don't like being an experiment, Sherlock. You could've at least told me what your plan was!"

    I sigh and nod. " I know, I know. I should've told you.  I'm sorry."

    John sighs and we sit in silence, letting everything soak in. I glance up at him every now and then, trying to read his emotions. He's angry, but he's intrigued. I smile a bit. John looks at me and sees my smile.

    " What are you grinning about?" He asks, trying to sound angry.

    I let out a short chuckle. " Nothing. It's just... You're angry at me, yet I know you want to know more. "

    John shakes his head but he can't hide his smile. " Sherlock, I'd punch you if I weren't hooked up to these machines and had a head injury. "

     I laugh, " But I'm right, you want to know more."

     John looks at me and smiles slowly, " You're always right."
