Nicole entered his room, just in time to see a man running out. As she got closer to his bed, she saw a bloody scalpel on the floor. She rushed over to Chris' side and saw him holding his hand over a bloody sheet.

Nicole sat in the waiting room, a doctor came out and sat down next to her. "He's going to be just fine, no major arteries were cut, I think it just looked a lot worse because he was in shock. We just put a couple stitches in and he'll be fine, trust me. And don't worry Adam died a couple hours ago down at the station and our guards locked his brother, Jason up a few minutes ago. He's gonna be away for a long time. The officer that came to take him to the station said that they had been looking for him, because he is the suspect for a dozen rape cases and a possible double homicide from a couple years ago. With his cost of bail, there's no way he's getting out.

Alyssa looked up to see her friend and coworker standing against her door. She gave her a weak smile.
"Thanks for coming on on such short notice. We're really swammped right now, the assistant coroner is backed up with Chris being out, did you hear about Chris being stabbed at the hospital? Well anyway, Krystal's in the break room."

Nicole sat beside Chris' bed and held onto his hand. His eyes fluttered open, he looked like he felt a whole lot better. "Chris, a nurse told me that you can go home today. That is if you want to go home? I was thinking that we could take a vacation, together. Maybe go to Texas, Vegas, anywhere but here. I have a summer home in Texas that I use on vacations, what do you think?" Deep down Nicole wanted to go to Vegas, she'd been thinking the sooner they got married the better, for them both.
