He nodded. "I hope they're alright."

“I’m sure they are. Kate’s pretty good at getting out of tricky situations.”

"Being smart doesn't keep you safe from bullets," he said.

“I never said she didn’t know how to deal with bullets.”

"You don't seem like the type of girl to hang out with that crowd."

“I don’t. She does and then drags me to places because of it,” She shrugged, “If I had any other good friends I’d ditch her.”

He shrugged. "Makes sense, I guess." An awkward silence ensued for about 2 minutes before he glanced at his leg. "It'll leave one hell of a scar, huh?"

"Battle wounds, that's what it is." She replied, looking down at his leg with a small frown.

"Somethin' to tell my kids about, for sure. They start complaining, just whip that scar out."

"You have kids?"

"Future kids, I meant."

"Oh, that makes sense. Sorry, I'm a little slow tonight…."

He shook his head. "You got shit thrown at you, beer poured on your shirt, then had to carry my fat ass into a car. You have an excuse."

She sighed and nodded a little, "I guess you're right. The only thing I have to disagree with is that you're not fat."

"I'm a little chunky, and I'm not ashamed of it." He sighed, leaning his head back onto the pillow. "How long to you plan on staying?"

Maddie shrugged, "I don't know. Until you kick me out?"

"In that case, stay as long as you like."

She blushed a little, "Do you have anybody worried about you? Like, a best friend or a girlfriend?"

He shook his head. "I'm a loner."

"Ah, right. You really don't have any friends or anything?"

"I mean, I know people from work, but I'm mostly sleeping when I get home, so I don't really have time to go out and make them. And they're a pain in the ass to keep."

"That makes sense. Sad, but it makes sense."

He shrugged. "Sounds sadder than it really is. But, hell, I'm over here telling my life story and you haven't told me jack."

Maddie chuckled quietly, "There's nothing much to tell. Lived in England until I was a teenager then my family moved here," She shrugged, "That's it."

(I am so sorry, I completely forgot about this!)

"England, huh? Interestin.'" For a man who was just shot, he was incredibly causal, as if this was nothing new for him.

(ooft, I thought this died to be honesst with ya)

Maddie nodded and hummed her agreement, "Interesting is one word for it. I'd use cold."

"I couldn't deal with driving on the other side of the road. I would crash so much it wouldn't be funny." He flashed a grin.

Maddie chuckled softly, "It's taken me ages to get used to driving on this side, I swear I should have my car taken away from me."

"You drove pretty fine on the way here," he noted.

She shrugged, "That's after a couple months driving through the backstreets at ten miles an hour to get used to it."
