Helena was peeling off the skin of an apple as she bobbed her to the music, before handing it towards Chris.

Chris snorted as he refused to accept the fruit from Helena, turning his head to the side.

"You haven't eaten for two days. And you scared off the two nurses who were supposed to feed you already. At least eat something."

Helena nudged the fruit against Chris' arm, but the stubborn man refused to budge, still intent on looking out the window.

"Eat up. Or I'll make sure Jill decks you for not eating." Using one of Chris' weak points, Helena jabbed the apple straight into Chris' face, forcing the captain to eat the apple if he wants to turn his face.

Chris grumbled as he ate the fruit straight from Helena's hand, and blushed a little when he heard giggles from Sherry and Rebecca outside.

"Yo, Jar-head! Need a hand?" Jake teased as he sat on the chair beside Chris' bed, laughing as he ducked his head away from an incoming fist.

Grabbing the apple from Helena, Chris muttered softly under his breath as he begrudgingly ate the apple until only the core was left.

Helena smiled as she threw the core into the rubbish bin across the room, whooping when it made it in like she had hope so.

The door squeaked opened as one of the nurses wheeled in a trolley filled with all kinds of medicines that made Chris grimaced.

"That looks like a mouthful." Jake couldn't help the wince when the nurse produced a pill that was almost the size of half his own thumb.

Rebecca accepted the trolley with a small smile as she requested to treat Chris himself, and the nurse nodded timidly before walking out of the room.

Filing the anaesthetic to the right amount, Rebecca held the syringe that made Jake and the others swore to never get a flu shot from the tiny professor.

Chris swallowed as Rebecca smiled at him while waving the syringe, and the process of injecting the liquid was the most terrifying experience Chris ever had.

"Remind me not to mess with petite girls." Jake said as he whispered into Sherry's ears, making the blonde giggle as she wrapped her arms around Jake's waist to form a side hug, which Jake gladly returned.

"You two are so adorable I'm getting a toothache just looking at you." Helena teased as she removed the empty glass of water from Chris' bed table, with Rebecca pushing the trolley out to one of the nurses.

"Than go and get one yourself." Sherry said as she stuck her tongue out playfully while Helena did the same thing back, making Chris to chuckle.

"I swear, you guys are all children." "Says the guy who was scared to death during Rebecca's injection."

Chris glared at Helena in a playful manner, and caused laughter to erupt from the group after a short moment of silence.

"Speaking of which, where's Leon anyway?" Chris commented as he did not see the blonde agent even after his surgery.

"He's still recovering in the next room. We arranged him for a separate room since he likes his privacy."

Helena spoke and Chris looked at her for a moment before he nodded, knowing something that the others didn't know.

The group in the room were settled in quiet chats between each other when a frantic knock on the front door.

"What's the problem, miss?" Rebecca answered and everyone perked up when the nurse looked nervous.

"Agent... Agent Kennedy is missing from his bed!" The nurse spoke out as she fiddled with her fingernails.

"What??!!"
