Will woke up in his hospital bed to see Riley sleeping with her head on the bed, she was sitting in the chair next to his bed. So much had happened in the last twenty-four hours. Will smiles softly at the fact she was here and safe, he strokes her hair and then noticed her stir awake.

"Someone was tired," Will smiles.

Riley smirks, "You're one to talk." She sits up and stretches.

Will adjusted himself in his bed, "You going to work today?" He asks.

She shakes her head, "Voight gave me the day off. You know after everything that happened, he wanted to make sure I was okay."

Will nods.

Riley looks at him, "And you okay?"

He nods looking at her, "I'm fine." He said.

Riley smiles, "Good."

There was a pause between the two, a nurse came in to check on Will, then left saying they'll get the doctor in. Riley fumbles with her hands and then looks at Will.

"I should tell you everything about me," Riley said, "My past."

Will looks at her, "Riley?"

"I'm sure everyone at the district knows," She frowns, "And I believe its fair you know everything after what had happened."

After Riley confessed to Will everything in her past, she left the room to let him speak to his colleague about discharge. Riley was by the vending machine and then noticed Dr Charles getting a candy bar.

"Riley," Dr Charles said, "It's good to see you're alright."

She was certain that everyone in the Intelligence's inner circle knew all about the events of her kidnapping and Will's. All of Will's colleagues will know, which explains Dr Charles knowing. Antonio might have mentioned it to his sister, Gabby, to which she might tell her firehouse about it.

"Thanks," She said.

Dr Charles watches her, "If you want to talk about it," He starts, "You have my number."

Riley nods and then looks at the vending machine, "Thanks, Dr Charles."

Dr Charles went to leave Riley, but noticed the young girl wanted to say something. Her lips part and her hands shook, then she glanced up at him.

"I- uh," She cuts herself off.

"Dr Charles," Coming over was his colleague Dr Sarah Reese, "We have a patient."

Dr Charles nods, "Coming," He turns to Riley, "Just call me if you need anything."

She nods and watched the two shrinks go off. Riley stood by the vending machine for a while, remembering a lot of it and just blaming herself for all of it.

She placed a bill in the vending machine and got herself a candy bar. She opened it up and began to head back to Will's room.

When Riley returned to Will's room, she saw Jay was there. Just Jay. No one else. Jay caught a glimpse of Riley and turned to face her.

"Where is Will?" She asks sounding worried.

Jay smiles, "Fine. I brought some clothes for him to change into," He said, "He's being released today."

Riley nods, "Oh- That's great." She said.

Jay nods as he fully faces Riley, "I thought I'd drive him back to his apartment. Unless you were going to do it."

She shakes her head, "My car is still at the district since- well you know." She said.
