⎾NEW YORK CITY ⏋
THE WOMAN THAT LAID ON THE BED DRIFTED IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS, she was sweating buckets due to the fever. She felt numb, her whole body was on fire as she tried to open her heavy eyes. The first sense that came back to her was her hearing, she could distinguish a small machine that produced bips bips bips. The second sense was the feeling of her fingertips, she moved slowly her fingers as she tried to grasp anything. The third sense was her eyesight, she slowly opened her eyes and was met with a blinding light that made her instantly shut her eyes. The fourth sense was that death eating pain that shot through her skull, thigh and right arm. She raised her hand slowly and used it to hide the light from her face so she could be able to open her eyes properly without getting blinded. Her throat was dry and she felt it slowly tighten as she tried to speak.
"She's waking up," a female voice spoke and it sounded so far away from her. She then felt a pair of hands grasp her other hand. "you took a hell of a beating."
"Castle. . ." she whispered, her throat hurting. Seems like whoever held her hand understood the pain she was going through as she grabbed her slowly by the shoulders and adjusted her up. Gigi slowly opened her eyes and met Aya's worried ones, she slowly handed her a glass of water and supported her hand until she gulped it all. "Castle knows who I am. He didn't kill me and he's gonna regret it ah⎯" she grunted slowly as she moved her thigh to try and move from the bed.
Aya quickly hoisted herself up and put her hands on her former friend's shoulder stopping her from taking a small step away from the bed. "Slow down tiger, you're still hurt."
Gigi shot her a sour look, and motioned towards the crutches that laid next to the beeping machine. The woman looked down at her clothing, she was wearing a hospital gown but she wasn't in a hospital, her hand slowly travelled to the tubes that were connected to her and she removed everything from her body, she reached for the clutches and placed each under her arm, ignoring the pain she stood up and groaned loudly as she put pressure on her wound. "How long was I out?"
"Zanetakos found you unconscious on the ground, I had to take the bullets out of your thigh, the other one only scratched your arm lightly⎯ and you had a small concussion. You were out for a day after I patched you up."
Gigi's eyes widened at her words, slowly standing up and walking towards the nearest mirror. "I have a black-eye." she stated calmly, watching the bruise on her jaw caused by the hard punch Frank sent her that nearly knocked her teeth out. Her nose was swollen but it wasn't broken. "I'll have to take days before I go back to work," she stated again in a calm voice that shocked not only Aya but Zanetakos who came into the room as soon as he heard the woman's voice. "it would be hard trying to seduce Billy Russo into sleeping with me if I look like a purple Hulk."
