Justine's head felt like it was being crushed in a vise. She slowly opened her eyes, but the brightness caused her to close them again.

"Hey, my super special agent, are you awake?" he whispered.

"Where am I?"

"In the hospital."

"Which one?"

"Abrazo West Campus."

"What happened?"

"You may know the answer to that better than I do."

"I don't remember."

"It happened so fast, you were on your phone, presumably with your boss. The next thing I knew an explosion rocked the area and you were pinned under a flag pole. Give it some time. It'll come back to you."

"An explosion." Her hands reached for her head. It felt like the throbbing intensified, though she doubted it was possible. "Is everyone okay? Were they evacuated in time?"

"Don't you remember? They evacuated immediately when the threatening call came in." He reached for her hand.

"I can't recall any of it."

"You will. Give it time."

She wondered why he'd come. It wasn't like they were a couple. He'd only been out with her twice. They'd shared a few kisses, but he didn't owe her anything. She tried to search his eyes for answers, but came up empty.

He squeezed her hand. She'd take it. It felt comfortable for him to be there. She couldn't explain it, but he belonged by her side.

"Can I get you anything?"

"Water would be great."

He poured some from the pitcher on her tray and handed it to her.

She drank deeply. "I think my head is going to explode."

"We've had enough explosions for one day."

"I hear you."

"What's wrong with you that makes you want to work with live explosives?"

"A great many things. Do you want a list?"

"Yes. That will be your homework when you're well enough to complete it."
