Chapter Eight

Troy’s head felt groggy. His body ached. His legs and arms felt like lead weights, as did his eyelids. It was all he could do to open his eyes. The room was almost too bright, the walls an ugly mint green.

“Hey, you’re awake.”

Tory turned his head to find Jamie sitting next to him, a bandage around his arm. Troy nodded toward it. “How bad?”

“Just a nick, really,” Jamie replied. “Doc didn’t have to give me more than a few stitches.”

“And Carson?” Troy asked, referring to the other officer that went with them to the drug bust.

“He’s still in surgery. It looks pretty bad, but the doc thinks he’ll make it.” Jamie pointed to the bandage around Troy’s arm. “You, on the other hand, got off easy.”

Troy glanced down at his white wrapped wound. “Did I? Then why the hell does it hurt so damn bad?”

“It wasn’t pretty, Troy. It’s a through and through, so on that level you were lucky. Doc said there weren’t any bullet fragments. You’ll be trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey for a few weeks then it’s off to physical therapy for you.”

“This is going to so totally suck,” Troy said as he laid his head back on the pillows behind him.

“Well, it hasn’t exactly been a picnic for me, you know,” Jamie said. “We go out on a simple drug bust and all hell breaks loose. I got back to the scene after chasing a perp down and you were already loaded in the ambulance and on your way here. I didn’t even know until I got here how bad things were, just that you had been shot.”

Jamie jumped up and started pacing the room, shoving his hand through his short hair. “If that wasn’t bad enough, Nicky showed up downstairs and threw a temper tantrum wanting to see you. I swear I don’t know what that man is thinking sometimes.”

“Nicky?” That caught Troy’s attention. He quickly looked over at Jamie. “Where is he?”

Jamie stopped pacing and stared over at Troy. “I sent him home. Why?”

“Home?” For some reason, the word brought dread to Troy’s heart. He was pretty damn sure that his home and Jamie’s home were two different places.

Jamie frowned. “Yeah, I had two officers escort him back to his apartment. He was practically hysterical. I had to do something. They wanted to toss us both out of the hospital.”

“How could you be so fucking stupid?” Troy shouted as he swung his legs over the side of the bed and started pulling the IV out of his arm.

“What?” Jamie shouted back. “What in the hell are you talking about?

“You just handed Nicky back to Bruce on a silver platter,” Troy said as he jumped off the bed and grabbed for his shirt, glad to see that he wasn’t in a hospital gown. The medical personnel probably hadn’t gotten that far.

“Bruce?” Jamie sounded really confused. “But I thought Bruce was Nicky’s boyfriend. Hell, they’ve lived together for months.”

“Nicky lives with me now and has for nearly a month.
