“YOU’RE IN BAD WAY, are you sure you didn’t see who attacked you?” the doctor asks after I’ve been admitted to the hospital because of my injuries. I’ve got a few broken ribs and some internal bleeding that should go away on its own, but they want to monitor me to make sure.

I lied.

I told them I was walking home and got attacked.

I think they know I’m lying; hell, I think they know when most people are lying. It’s their job really, isn’t it?

“I didn’t. I know it was a man, I can give a brief description but I couldn’t see his face because he had it covered.”

“The police will take all of that, as I’m sure you know being an officer. I’m sorry you were put through that. We’ll keep you at least overnight to make sure you’re not going to have any complications, and I’ll send you home with some good painkillers. You’ll be sore. You won’t be able to do any active duty for at least six weeks.”

Thank god I’m working with Blanche now because we’re not out on the streets where I need my body to be working correctly.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you.”

“You have a visitor outside; I’ll send him in as soon as I’m done here. I’ve given you a sleep tablet for the night to help you get through the pain and get some rest.”

I nod, and when he leaves, I pick up my phone before my visitor comes in to call Blanche. I don’t want him thinking that I’ve given up on the case because I didn’t show up to work today. I’m already frustrated that I have to take time off, considering he picked me because he thought I was worth giving the extra effort to.

“Zariah, how are you? Carson told me what happened. Are you okay?”

He’s being nice already, and I immediately sigh with relief.

“I’m okay, sore but okay. I’ll be in the hospital for a few days, but I’ll be right back to work. I don’t want you thinking I’m slacking on the case.”

He laughs. “Work, work, work, it’s totally fine. In fact, I’m happy to come with you in there to do some work if you like. Only if you’re feeling up to it, of course?”

“Yes, please, that would be great!” I say quickly, my voice full of excitement.

If I have to sit in here, at least I’m going to do it working on the case. I want nothing more than to work on it right now.

He laughs again. “Well, that didn’t take much convincing, did it? I’ll pop by in the morning and we can go over what I’ve uncovered.”

“Thank you so much.”

We talk for a few minutes more but I hang up when a knock at my door sounds out. I yell out and, a moment later, Kendric walks in. He’s got a bag of something that smells incredible in his hands, and after a quick glance around the room, he comes in and sits by the bed, placing the items on my food tray.
