Joe hopped nervously in place for a few seconds and then turned tail and ran. He jumped in his car and jammed the gas pedal in, going as fast as he could upon hearing the gunfight going on in the building. When he got to his apartment, he found two big guys waiting for him. "Whadda you want?"
Neither of them said anything. Each pulled out a small club and started smacking him with them. Several minutes later, he was lying passed out on the floor.
Angelina fumbled with the pen nervously as she waited for the doctor to come out of the emergency room and deliver some news about Joshua. Finally he did, he still had his scrubs on. He looked at her a little strangely as his eyes glanced over her messy hair, blood splattered legs, and ripped dress. A few awkward minutes passes between them.
"He's going to be fine." He told her finally. She let out a sigh of relief. "You can't see him yet, but you will be able to when the anesthetic (sp?) wears off in a couple of hours."
She nodded with a smile. "Thank you, doctor."
He nodded and walked away. Angelina walked into the bathroom and cleaned up.
Joe woke up an hour later in the hospital. Aparently, someone had found him and taken him to the hospital... That was odd, considering that most of the people who lived in his building were in the mafia, like he was. His head hurt like hell. He sat up and looked around only to see that Joshua was lying several beds away from him! 'God, it's been a hell of a night..' Actually, it was almost morning-- 4:00 am.

The doctor allowed Angelina to go see Joshua even though he hadn't awaken yet. She quietly walked into the room, only noticing Joshua who appeared to be sleeping peacefully. His arm was in a sling. She gently stroked his hair as she looked down upon him with sad eyes.
Joshua groaned alittle then opened his eyes, and saw Angelina. Joshua smiled "Thank you." He said, then tried to get up.
She smiled down at Joshua, still stroking her fingers through his hair. "You're welcome." She saw his attempt at sitting up. "Don't move, just get some rest."
Suddenly she saw (LTA... sorry, can't remember ur character's name) come in with his gun, aiming it at the man next to Joshua's bed. She quickly blocked the path the bullet would travel.
"Don't! He let me go!" She told (LTA) quickly. "There's no need for you to kill him."
Angelina nodded. She knew as soon as the doctor knew that Joshua was awake, he would begin to ask him questions about his gun shot wound. She placed her hand on the man's gun. "He could have killed me, but he didn't. Are you really going to shoot him in a hospital full of witnesses? You'll never get out of here if you do."
She then glanced at Joshua and blushed a little, he was only wearing a surgery gown. She grabbed his clothes that were next to his bed and handed them to him. "Go change in the bathroom." She hesitated for a minute. "Do you, uh.... need any help?" Her cheeks grew darker. "I mean, because of your arm." She added quickly.
Angelina never thought he would say yes. She was just trying to be nice, and even though she was attracted to him, she could only imagine the shade of red her face was glowing as she closed the door to the bathroom behind him. She put the lid to the toilet seat down and placed his clothes on it. She handed him his boxers.
"Put these on then I'll help you with the rest." She said with a small smile as she handed them to him, and then turned to face the wall.
She nodded and helped him get his pants on, tugging gently at the waist band. She was waiting for her hands to shake as she buttoned them and brought up the zipper, but her hands were quite calm. She buckled the belt at his waist. She then helped him gently with his shirt, buttoning the buttons. She looked up and fixed the color of his shift, only within inches from him. She looked into his eyes and smiled.
