"Good morning Dr, I hope you are feeling well today? So tell me when will I be able to leave this place, it's getting boring here?" asked Ricardo.
"Well Mr Andrews your physiotherapy is going well according to schedule so in about a months time you should be well to leave."
"A month! No that is not possible I have to go back home! I have a business to run!"
"I am sorry but you are in no condition to fly, who knows what will happen during the journey and also do you have anyone to help you out?"
"Help? Do I look like I need to be taken care of, if it's more therapy I can get the best money can buy! I can take care of myself very well!"

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of bed today. Tell me what is eating you up Ricardo?"
"Nothing is wrong, everything is just peachy," he said looking really closely at Juliet that's when he saw the bruise on her cheek, as well as the bandaged wrist.
"If you say so, anyway let me leave you to rest. See you in the afternoon," said Juliet.

Ricardo's POV

I watched Juliet leave and felt like a complete jerk for snapping at her this morning. She was just doing her job after all and probably had her own problems to deal with. I was just frustrated after she left with that idiot of a husband of hers. I didn't get much sleep worrying about her well being. Seeing her this morning, I felt relieved on seeing her in front of me, at the same time angry at her for being with another man not to hide the fact the bruise on her cheek was there because of that said man. She had tried to hide it with makeup but it was a poor effort.

Get a hold of yourself Ricardo, you don't do relationships remember... But why does she have this effect on me. No maybe it's because you see her everyday you have grown attached to her. Whatever it is this is not me.
No matter how much he tried to push his feelings aside he couldn't help feel the urge to protect her, and it made him angry that someone hurt her, he decide to vent out his anger through one means he knew possible, work. Ricardo took out his phone and called Larry and hear how the company was operating in his absence.

In the afternoon Juliet went to check up on Ricardo, she was not pleased with what she found.
"Listen to me Phillip, I do not care what you have to do, just find out what happened on that damn plane, or else you can kiss you job goodbye, I do not pay you to give me theories, I want actual answers, do you hear me!" he said dropping the phone.
"I think I should leave you to cool off Ricardo," Juliet said turning to leave the room.
"No Juliet please don't go,"Ricardo called out hopping off the bed taking ahold of his walking cane. "I'm sorry you had to hear that, it's... it's just some work issues."
"I will come back later, I have other patients to see Ricardo."
"Very well, if you must. Until this evening then, enjoy your day Juliet."

Major Erikson's POV

"Mr Fox, I hope you have made arrangements with your contact. As you know I cannot use military personnel or else it will lead back to me. I managed to get everything he need, the equipment is untraceable so he will be safe," the major said.
"I am sure everything will suffice, I will tell you once the mission is complete."

At the Hospital
Juliet walked towards Ricardo's room after finishing her evening rounds, his room was her last stop. Her day had been going great, Greg had called her informing her that Anthony had received his divorce papers and that his lawyer had called him. Finally my life is getting in order, she thought to herself. As she reached his room, she was a ball of nerves and excitement. She knew she had to act professionally, for he was after all her patient.
She couldn't help how he made her feel with that one phone call from yesterday, even though his attitude today was displeasing, she hoped he would be in a better mood this evening.
She walked into his room and could not believe what she saw...
