Sands
resumed his position by Grace�s bed.
The doctor was back in the room, picking up where they had left off
earlier.

�As I was
saying,� the doctor said, �one of her lungs was punctured, but we were able to
repair the damage.�

�So, she�s
O.K.?� Harold asked.

�Only time
will truly tell, se�or. Her body is
fighting off any impending infections, so she is running a slight fever. When her body�s ready, she�ll wake up.�

Harold
sighed. �Thank you.� The doctor left and Harold couldn�t
understand why Sands had been so silenpan pan style="mso-spacerun: yes">
�Sheldon?�

�Yeah?�

�Can I�do
anything for you?�

Sands
swallowed and his grip on Grace�s hand became slightly stronger. �How does she look?� she asked.

Hoping to
lighten the mood a bit, Harold responded, �Even blind, you managed to pick out
a looker.�

Sands
didn�t crack the slightest of smiles.
�I mean does she look bad? Hurt
or sick or��

�Oh.� Harold understood. �I�m not sure that��

�Tell
me. Tell me everything, please.� There was that word that rarely passed
Sands� lips.

�She�s
pale,� Harold started, his voice soft.
�Her lips have that whitish look to them, they�re probably dried out.�

Sands let
his free hand gently find her face, then her lips. �They are,� he said. �And
she�s sweating.�

Harold nodded
silently. �Fever, remember?�

�I haven�t
cared since Rachel.�

Harold
walked to where Sands was sitting. �I
know.� He placed a comforting hand on
Sands� shoulder. �What would have
happened if Grace hadn�t ended up in here?�

Sands let
himself smile. �She�she asked me to go
home with her.�

�A
ridiculous request?�

�I thought
so. I even asked her what would happen
after she got tired of me.�

�And she
said?�

�She wants
me to go with her�and I fucking want to go, Harold. I don�t have anything else anymore, do I?�

�Sheldon, I
can�t send you out into the field in your condition, you know that.�

�Yeah�Can
you believe I�m actually going to � I actually want � to just go and try
to have a normal life?� He
chuckled. �Well, it�ll be some fucked
up normalcy, but the gist of it��

�You need
to be grounded, Sheldon. You don�t know
how many times I�ve gotteone one calls from people wanting to lock you up. Speaking of that, why the hell were you
killing off cooks down here?�

�Word got
out, huh?�

�Yeah, word
got out.�

Sands
leaned back a little. �Funny, I can�t
recall doing that��

�Se�or
Rawlings?� A nurse entered the room,
interrupting their conversation.

�Yes?�
Harold answered.

�You are
needed upstairs. Something has happened
with the man who was being guarded.�

�Sheldon,
just stay here. I�ll be right
back.� Harold rushed upstairs and found
a doctor outside of Michael�s room.
�What�s going on?� He was
escorted into the room, Michael�s lifeless body in full view.

�Your
prisoner has�passed away, Se�or Rawlings,� the doctor replied.

�What?�

�He had an
allergic reaction to the antibiotics.
We did all we could, but the severity was��

Harold did
his best not to smile. �Don�t worry, we
won�t file for malpractice. I�ll send
someone for the body.� As fast as he
could, he rushed back to Grace�s room.
His heart broke when he caught Sands kissing her non-responsive
lips. �Uh�Sheldon?�

�Yeah?� He wasn�t embarrassed in the least.

�You got
your wish, Michael�s dead.�

Sands put
his hands up. �Hey, I was right here
the whole time.�

Harold
smiled. �No worries, it was an allergic
reaction.�

�He�s
really dead, not �fake the death and get the crime boss to safety� dead?�

�Really
dead.�

Sands
smiled. �Fucker�s gone, Gracie,� he
whispered. �C�mon, wake up so I can
tell you about how I was a good boy and didn�t do it.�

There was
no change.
