I was in surgery when the hospital was attacked. Guess I got to sleep through it. Lucky me. I'm so groggy and out of it. The pain meds they gave me kind of leave me loopy. It's weird...I was in the park, and then the hospital. Now I'm in a high school. The irony of finding refuge in a high school after I transferred to Sunnydale so I wouldn't have

*walks in to make shift infirmary. finds Kims bed. smiles a little when she looks up at him. pulls up chair and sits down.*

How are you feeling?

[kim_sullivan]

Sore and loopy.

How long before they'll let me out of here? I'm fine.

[jack_morgann]

*looks at her concerned*

You just had surgery, Kim. Do you think its a good idea to rush out of this bed?

[kim_sullivan]

I'm all right, Jack.

Paige was up and helping people. I'm pretty sure she was the one who was there before I got put under for surgery.

*reaches over and takes his hand*

[kim_sullivan]

What could you have done differently, Jack?

It's damn hard to fight offense when you barely have enough people working the defense.

I bet Madison is doing the same thing right now. If she came to you and told you that she caused this, that if she had done something different we wouldn't have four cops to bury and two of us injured, what would you tell her?

[jack_morgann]

I don't know, evacuate the hospital sooner. It's common knowledge that vampires can just walk into public places. I knew he had vampires. I should have never put Paige in that situation, she's not traine for intellegence gathering. Maybe I shoulda moved us all in here a lot sooner. Changed patrolling locations.

*scrubs face with hands*

I reckon I would tell her she's full of shit, that it isn't her fault. That whats going on out there isn't something they woulda covered in the academy. That she's done a remarkable job all things considered. Y'all have.

And I see your point. I do. Theres just one difference. This is war, it's what I'm trained for. I should've known what to expect.

[kim_sullivan]

Jack, you made the calls you made and they weren't bad decisions. Hell, hindsight is always clearer.

You got us here. It could have been a lot worse than it was. I'm not discounting what happened. We all have to carry our own weight here. You don't get to own this on your own, Cowboy.

Sorry.

*looks up at him*

I used to second guess myself all the time. All it did was make me doubt my instincts. You start doubting yourself, Jackson? Then we got problems because we need your instincts.

[jack_morgann]

*smiles a little. grabs her hand and kisses it*

I don't recall hearing you say you'd stay in bed a little longer.

[kim_sullivan]

Jack, I'm all right. Swear to you, I am.

*ponders*

I could rest up maybe out of here. You got a suggestion?

[jack_morgann]

I hope like hell you are, Kim.

*smiles*

If they clear you to leave. I'll find someplace quiet for you. But only if you promise to rest.

[kim_sullivan]

How about you, Jackson?

*tilts her head, studying him carefully*

You have to rest or you're not going to get anything done. You'll wear yourself to thin.

I could probably promise...if you promise too.

[jack_morgann]

*gives her a look*

Still not playing fair, Sullivan. I reckon I'll get some rest sooner or later. Theres a lot that still needs doing.

*smiles*

I can promise to give it a shot. Will that work for you?
