Andrew entered the hospital door walking into the lobby. He had received a call about a disturbing visitor. About Julia. He walked through the halls jogging to get to where she was. He heard pacing. Julia was pacing at a wooden door which she wanted  to go into. But she didn't have the courage. Julia stared through the window biting her fingers. She was dressed as if she was going to go to work but she hadn't shown up.

As usual now. As usual Julia was here. Just waiting and staring. Julia jolted hearing the door open she looked up towards Andrew seeing him coming down the hall. She turned continuing to bite her nails. Julia had officially just been watching and waiting. She didn't want Andrew here. Yes he was her partner but......Andrew couldn't help.

He couldn't help with the nightmares and the stress she was feeling. The woman Julia had shot was now in a coma because.....Julia felt responsible. She felt as if it was her fault.  She curled her fingers staring at the instruments and tubes around delivering nutrients and making constant small sounds.

"Hey", said Andrew quietly standing next her. There was a pause of silence between them.

"Hi", whispered Julia brushing back a strand with her small fingers.

"You didn't show up this morning.....again", said Andrew.

Julia knew this. Of course she did. She was here rather than at work. It's been four months. Her chief had extended her time on leave. But the two month period was over. It's what Julia had said she needed. Said it would have been all she needed. But......she was wrong.

The chief had extended it to four months. They were just about over. He knew this was difficult but work and the world still went on. But for Julia......she felt as if she was at a stand still.

"You ok?", asked Andrew quietly rubbing her shoulder.

Julia stepped away not liking it. She felt victimized and afraid. Andrew pulled his hand back seeing this. Julia used to be strict and serious. Andrew had looked up to her. Now though she was bent and afraid. Her eyes darting around at any noise or sound if there was a stillness of silence.

"Yeah.....fine", lied Julia.

"Your not fine.....Julia you need to go home. I'll take you home", offered Andrew.

Julia shook her head, "No....no....no....I'm....not going home", said Julia

Andrew stared, "You need to Julia, they don't want you-" the door opened again with a multitude of footsteps. Andrew turned seeing the gentlemen and the doctor walking forward. The doctor sighed seeing them. Julia and Andrew weren't supposed to be here. If they wanted to visit they had to check in just as the group behind him had. As usual they were dressed in nice formal suits.

"Please wait outside", said the doctor flicking his fingers to a nurse and his assistant heading inside.

Everyone watched silently staring through the window. Anderson and no one else really said anything. Just looking through the window as the attendants worked. Jackson stared as there was at first nothing. He couldn't hear what the doctor was saying but Jackson saw him nod and he shined a light towards DeLacy's eyes.

Jackson's heart seemed to increase in pace. And he swallowed feeling it thump in his chest. But they all continued to wait outside. Several minutes later the doctor opened the door looking at everyone through his glasses. "You can come in, but do be aware she is still exhausted it will be difficult for her to speak", he warned.

"Please no complicated questions, I'd prefer yes or no questions if possible", said the doctor.

Anderson nodded being the first to go inside. Jackson turned around walking away hands in his pockets. "Where are you going?", asked Rollins turning.

"I'll be back, bathroom", said Jackson.

Rollins watched as Jackson walked away down the hall. Jackson didn't even glance at Andrew or Julia as he followed the signs to find it.
