John drove down to the cave and got suited up. The new one Fox had created for him was perfect. It was a snug fit but he was still able to move around.

The reason why John was suiting up tonight was because he'd heard a rumor about something going down in the city, so he thought he'd check it out. It could be nothing, but he wanted to be on the safe side. It was something about dreamshare. John couldn't find much other than it was a military training program but got shut down after losing its funding.

John went out into the hallway to get her more ice before coming back and packing her another plastic bag and towel. "Where do you want me to put it?"

[inyourdreams]

Her foot as propped up on a pile of pillows.

"Can you wrap it around the outside part?" she asked.

[gcpd]

"Sure." He gently molded the bag of ice around her ankle. "Good?"

[inyourdreams]

"Yeah, thank you," she said.

[gcpd]

"You're welcome." John got back into bed beside her.

[inyourdreams]

She looked over at him.

"How was work?" she asked.

[gcpd]

"Fine," he said nonchalantly with a shrug.

[inyourdreams]

She nodded.

'You should sleep. You have to be up again in a couples hours," she said.

[gcpd]

"Yeah." He turned his head to kiss her cheek and then closed his eyes.

[inyourdreams]

She closed her eyes too, hoping she'd fall back to sleep easily.

About three hours later, he turned off his alarm and got up to go take a shower.

[inyourdreams]

She woke up as well and checked on her ankle. The swelling looked a little better, but she was going to have a hard time walking on it for a bit. Maybe she could get the concierge to find her some crutches.

She hopped on one foot to the kitchenette area and started them a pot of coffee before collapsing on the couch and putting her foot up on the coffee table.

John came back out about twenty minutes later. "Did you order breakfast yet?"

[inyourdreams]

"No," she said shaking her head. "I'm not really hungry. But feel free to order something for yourself."

[gcpd]

"Okay." He went into the bedroom to phone in something for breakfast before getting dressed.

[inyourdreams]

She turned on the TV to some mindless morning show and zoned out, feeling her ankle throb.

"Can you get me some more pain killers when you get the chance?" she asked.

[gcpd]

"Sure," he said as he came back in. He sat down next to her. He was almost afraid to touch her.

[inyourdreams]

She took the pills from him and downed them with some water.

"Thank you," she said before she leaned her head against his shoulder.

[gcpd]

He looked down at her worriedly before putting on a calm mask. "When I'm at work, call me if you need anything, okay?"

[inyourdreams]

She nodded against his shoulder.

"I will," she said. "I'll just be staying put today."

[gcpd]

"Good." He kissed her head.

[inyourdreams]

She turned so she could press her lips to his.

"Are you nervous for your first day?" she asked.

[gcpd]

"Yes," he said as he looked at her.

[inyourdreams]

"You'll be fine," she said with a smile. "It can't be harder than being a cop."

[gcpd]

"True, but I don't want to leave you in this condition."
