Nathan was woken up by a female voice. He didn’t know it. So he opened his eyes to see who it was. It turned out to be a nurse who was standing at the bed beside him.
“I’m sorry, Mr Crocker, we can’t give you any more pain meds but I could give you a sedative. Let you sleep.”
“No!” Duke grunted, his voice strangled. “Need to stay awake.”
“Ok, Mr Crocker. Just call me if you change your mind. I strongly advise you to change it. It will just fasten the process if your body tries to fight the pain.”
“Noted. Thank you.”
The nurse just nodded and left the room. Nathan looked after her in confusion. Then he looked over to the other bed where Duke was lying, a pained expression on his face. Nathan sat up a little. “Duke? What are you doing here?”
Duke laughed dryly. “What does it look like? I enjoy the hospitality of the Haven General.”
“You’re infected.”
“You think?” Duke countered sarcastically. “How are you?”
Nathan shrugged. “Can’t feel anything. I’m good.”
“Yeah, lucky bastard. Really lucky bastard this time.” Duke hissed out a breath when he made a tiny little movement.
“So why are you here?”
“I thought we were over this question already. Please, Nate, I don’t want-”
“No, I mean how did you get infected?”
“Oh, that! Funny story actually,” Duke said with a little laugh, turning more into a stifled groan of pain. “Well, I had a hunch who the troubled person was and turns out I was right. Ten minutes after you were picked up by the ambulance we had to call the next one.”
“Why the hell did you go near that person when you already suspected them?”
“Needed to keep her there so she wouldn’t run off.”
“Her?”
“It’s Jordan. Her Trouble was altered. Audrey and Dwight are with her, trying to find a solution to this problem. So we’ll be fine.”
Nathan watched Duke closely, could see in how much pain he was and he just hoped Duke was right. Nathan wouldn’t feel anything. He wouldn’t even feel himself dying. Duke would. So he really hoped that Dwight and Audrey got this.
“Why did you refuse a sedative?”
Duke just shrugged which was followed by a wince.
“You like being in pain? Wouldn’t surprise me.”
Duke shot him a look.
“Ok, ok, then why not?”
“Needed to be sure that you were okay,” Duke murmured quietly.
Nathan just stared at him for a moment. Then he coughed slightly. “Well, I am. Take the fucking sedative.”
Duke scoffed. “Always trying to tell me what to do, huh?”
“Right now, yes! The nurse said that this is worse for you, so take it. I’m fine. I don’t feel anything. I promise I lie still and won’t move until I know it’s over. Just get the rest you need so we both make it out of this alive, ok?”
Duke grumbled something that Nathan couldn’t understand but he saw him pressing the call button. “Thank you,” he said.
“You promise you’ll still be there … when I wake up again?”
“I promise,” Nathan said and hoped that this would be the truth.
