Partners Against Crime

Recovery (Chapter 2 Start)

Judy's PoV
I walked into the hospital. I knew which room he was in so I walked slowly. I strolled to the room and asked to be alone with Nick.
"He is restrained, it's hospital protocol, he is harmless!" Said a doctor. I understood yet I still hated them for holding him down like a psycho! I walked in. He was in the hospital outfit. Yet there was a set off straps holding him down by his wrists. He was sleeping. I closed the door blinds so it was actually private. I saw his eyes flutter.

Nick's PoV
"Judy?" I said.
"Hey Nick!" She said. I tried to sit up and hug her or do anything to know this wasn't another cure caused dream.
"When can I go home Judes?" I asked.
"I think it's in a few days, I'll come in everyday!" She said. I smiled. Only a few days until they take out these stupid wires. Heart monitor beeps, gone. IV wire, gone. And Judy always there.
"You know, you look better without a cop outfit, that shirt looks better..." I said, energy drained from my voice and coughs interrupting my speech.
"Thanks Nick, can't say the same about that hospital stuff!" She joked.
"Oh shut up!" I said, she chuckled. I didn't feel at all as sarcastic or happy with this cure, practically a virus or vaccine or whatever it is in my body.
"We've gotta do some more tests! Please finish up!" Yelled a doctor.
"I gotta go now! See you tomorrow!"

—=Three days later=—

The doctors left the room. I took off the pathetic hospital clothes and put on my green button-up, striped tie and tan pants, then I finally got to stand up, move and walk around, and live without a headache.. I walked down to the reception. Judy rushed past me.
"Is he our today?" He ran to the desk.
"Nope!" I said.
"Nick!" She said, her tall ears shot up. She hugged me, I hugged her. We walked out of the hospital together.
"So Nick, can you answer one question for me? Honestly?" She said
"Fire away!" I said.
"Do you love me?" She said. I then felt dizzy. The question, still sick? I didn't know but I collapsed. I roller over.
"Nick!" Judy said, "Doctor!"
I all of a sudden threw up and felt instantly more Ill. Doctors surrounded me. I was lifted by two doctors. I passed out.

My eyes flashed open.
"Nick! Your ok! It was just a bad reaction to some disinfectant!" Judy said.
"What happened to my leg!" I said in shock.
"Oh yeah, you landed on a pipe and it bashed your kneecap back, breaking your leg!" Judy said.
"You can leave when your ready! I'll help you!" Judy said. I slung my arm around her shoulder and we slowly made our way. We both got in the car and made our way home...
