ringing. painful fucking ringing in my ears. what is this? i can't open my eyes. they're crusty. how long was i out for?
"did you wake her up yet?"
"no sir. we all tried. she's out like a light."
"fucking hell." and thud. "must i do everything myself nowadays?" heavy footsteps.
"sir just leave her be. it's only been 24 hours."
BANG
was that a fucking gun?
"your head will be next. get out of my way."

footsteps. louder. louder. door opens. a sigh.

"when will you wake up sweetheart?" me? sweetheart me? the fuck? "i need you. you're the secret weapon." hah???
"mmm." well that's not what i wanted to say. that fucking burned my throat.
"well good morning love. how was your sleep?" i can't see but i hear his smirk. "you planning on getting up now?"
"n-no." i cough. ouch fucking ouch.
"okay. i'll have some hot tea brought to you to help your throat. rest for now sweetheart." a caress on my cheek. gentle. caring. a kiss on my forehead. sweet. "i'll see you later."

footsteps leave. further. further.
gone.

everything's black again. sleep catches me up.
