Chapter 13

The Hospital

When I fully woke up, I was in a hospital understandably . A drip was stuck on my left back hand. Little bit elevated bed, pillow and all that setup. I smelled roses. My wife is present. I could also hear Janet and Paul. 

" Doctor said it is nothing serious. But I can  not help myself wonder what was your husband doing there?"

" I will check with him the first thing when he wakes up"

Paul notices me being awake. 

"Hey.... look who is up" "This means we need to get up and step out" He extends his hand to Janet. 

Janet gives him the look. 

While getting up she says "Hope you will feel well real soon" , She stresses each and every word as if she means now and forever. My wife has been quiet the whole time as if she is waiting for my in laws to step out before she could talk to me

After Janet and Paul stepped out I asked

"Where is Angelina?"

"Safe"

"That is not what I meant". 

"I know"

A brief silence. 

"I was not doing anything wrong"

"Then how did you get mix up with this." "We got a call from FBI Declan. The FBI , do you know how scary it is to think that you are involved at that level"

"What is going on Declan?" as she stepped next to me , "Is there anything I must know"

"No honey, I shared everything with you last night.."

"Everything?"

I got quiet "You know I can't discuss confidential information with you"

"I Know", "Is it something that could come back and haunt us like this" 

"No Honey, that was in the past. Nothing could haunt us now. This is something to do with yesterday . I just don't know what. The guy I saved was an FBI agent as I told you. The subjects who dumped him did not even know he was alive. It doesn't make sense"

There was again couple of minutes silence.  We were looking each other's eyes. 

"I trust you Declan" She seemed a little relaxed. "I am worried for Angelina. After Angelina, I am a mom before I am a wife"

"I love you both equally. You both are my world Honey,I would die before anything happens to you guys. If anyone wants to hurt me by attacking you guys, I will die first to stop it from happening. Trust Me"

"I do" She holds my left hand.
