Trey watched through the door as Dree continued to push herself past even her limits, working with the therapists to get her legs working again. It didn't take a genius to see how much pain she was in, but arguing with her was only pissing her off more.

She'd already banned him to the hallway, and it was easier to keep an eye out for El, who had gone out to get an update on the damage. The muffled cries from the other side of the door got his attention and Trey stiffened as the orderlies helped pull Dree back up to a standing position.

"Damnit, Aud," he cursed under his breath. She was going to do more damage trying to recover than the initial injury caused, at this rate.

Trey's eyes closed and he cursed again, inwardly. Reaching under El's arm, he caught Dree's elbow and squeezed lightly. "Can't do that, right now, Aud. The crews are working on the streets between here and there. Can't get in their way."

He knew El didn't want to tell her, and he didn't, either. But he also could see that if they didn't take her out, she'd take herself. Ten years living with the woman, he had kept his eyes open. "How 'bout I ask Chapel if we can stay at her place for a few days? Get you out of here and into some quiet. It's not like she's home, anyway."

What Dree needed, he knew, was a softer bed and a hot bath. Thankfully, Chapel's bathroom was equipped with a sauna tub, to ease her own muscles after long shifts at the hospital. If they could get her to relax, it might help speed her recovery.

"That ... sounds like a great idea to me." She glanced over at the dog who lay in silent sentinel at the door, guarding his mistress. "What do you think Charlie?" She could see the dog glance at Dree, as if he knew. He lay is head down and simply watched.

"I can talk to Chapel later if you want. You know she has a ton of room."

She was too tired to argue. Dree knew there was more they weren't telling her. No one was telling her anything. It was all 'Crews are working' or 'We're waiting on an update' or 'Once you've rested.' She was getting tired of the run-around.

Of course, the logical part of her brain was telling her that they weren't saying anything because all of them know she couldn't handle it. Well, they thought she couldn't handle it. And that made her angry. Where did everyone else get off deciding for her? Shouldn't she be allowed to decide what she could and couldn't handle. It wasn't like she was going to crumple like a rag doll.

A moment later, Dree laughed. She had just crumpled like a rag doll, and that was simply from walking back and forth a few times. They knew her better than she did, apparently.

El gave Trey a confused backward glance when Dree started laughing. She subtly shrugged. "They must be giving you some great pain killers. I'd sure love some. My leg is killing me." And it was. She was sitting with the cast at an odd angle to accommodate holding Dree. It was starting to feel not at all pleasant. And throbbing.

"Or," Trey said, trying to pull off his 'man of the house'-voice, "both of you go back to your room and get some rest and I'll talk to Chapel."

"No," Dree snapped. "I want to go home. Now." She needed to make sure the box was safe. She'd heard someone talking about looting as they passed the open doorway. Her life was in that box. There were things, secrets...

"Hey," Trey snapped back, raising an eyebrow until she looked at him. "No. I've already been there and grabbed the important stuff." He took a breath and nodded, "It's locked up, safe, at Chapel's." Trey gave her a look and reached for her hand. "I promise you, Aud, it's safe."

elari_brooks June 6 2011, 16:58:17 UTC

El gave a grin,"maybe we should let our man do the man stuff for us." She winked at Dree.

After Trey assured Dree, she followed, "that was the first thing we grabbed, baby. It's safe." A few extra dents were in it, but the box itself was safe. She ahd wanted to open it to check the contents, but she knew that would have been the worst invasion of privacy. So she didn't. But she payed the contents were safe and unbroken, if there were any breakables.

Chapel came barrelling into the room a moment later, looking frazzled and angry. Well, Dree noted as the woman got closer, it was more fear than anger. "What happened?" she asked, starting to poke and prod at various points on Dree's body.

"I went too far, Chap. It's that simple." Dree reached up for the railing and tried to pull herself up, but her shoulders fought back.

Trey looked at El and shook his head. The mood swings, he prayed, were due the medication. As Chapel waved the orderlies back over, Trey pulled El up and held her close. "Love you," he whispered, suddenly feeling the urge to make sure she knew.

Winces as Trey helps her up. Holds him tightly as he enfolds her into his arms. "Love you too, Treyby." Whispers to him, "We'll get through this." She leaned into him and kissed him softly.

She let trey lead her away so Chapel could get to Dree and get her off the floor. "Can we possibly go," gives her a look, "home in the next day or so? 'dora would really like to be him." Gives her a slight shake that they hadn't told her yet.

heartof_thezone June 6 2011, 23:32:59 UTC

Chapel nodded to El and smiled. "Yeah, I think," she said, giving El a look that said 'My house', "we can get you out of here." She looked back to Dree and pushed the blonde hair off her friend's face. "Maybe An hour in the tub will do you good. Relax those muscles."

At El's mumble, Chapel rolled her eyes and gave her a dirty look. "None of you are in any state for that, thanks."

"Oh, come on, Doc," Trey grinned. "It's just a broken leg." He glanced at El and winked. Chapel scoffed and gave Dree a quick check before the orderlies hauled her up into the padded wheelchair.

Dree hissed and gritted her teeth as they sat her down. "I need a drink."

Chapel laughed and pressed a kiss to Dree's forehead. "You can have all the water you want, love."

El gave Chapel a smirk, "I'm flexible. But you know that." She waggled her brow as Chapel rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on Chap. If we promise not to do anything, can we all take a hot bath together?" She gave Chapel a look that said, they really needed it. The time together and the intimacy. It had been a long few days. And was going to be longer.
