Cole sighed. "Well, he was ready to rip my head off when I came into his room, especially when I talked about you. I wouldn't say he's mad at you, just confused. He hardly remembers anything." Cole sat forward and held his face in his hands. "He wants to see you."

Mira's mismatched eyes lite up. "He does?" She couldn't help but smile. If he wanted to see her he couldn't be that mad at her could he? She stood up. "Where is he? Could you take me there? Or at least give me directions?" She needed to talk to Brian, she needed him in her life... Their child did too.

Cole was glad to see some happiness out of Mira in an otherwise gloomy time. "I can take you there." He smiled. He momentarily forgot Brian's accusations, then it came back to him. His expression once again was grim. "There's something else I need to tell you. He's in big trouble with the law, after he gets out of the hospital he's going straight to jail on pretty serious charges. They got some pretty hard evidence on him."

Mira sat back down her smile fading. "W-What?" She couldn't believe it. "There's no way those charges will stick...Is there? They can't send him to jail. He didn't steal any cars. It was Walter." She was starting to panic. She loved Brian, she didn't wanna see him put away for something he didn't do. She felt like this was partially her fault.

Who was this Walter guy? He seemed to have a huge roll in whatever was going on here. "To be honest, I don't know much about it. But Brian was not sounding optimistic about his chances." Cole was starting to think there was some foul play involving Walter with Brian. Was it possible that Walter had framed Brian or tricked Mira into thinking Brian did everything he did? He couldn't hold the question any longer. "Who's Walter?"

"The asshole who started this mess. He is the one stealing cars and he is the one framing Brian. And I'm pretty sure he is the one who shot me..." She held her head in her hands. She had no idea how they were gonna fix this and get Brian out.

Stealing cars? Now this was starting to make sense. Brian and Mira had been on a case involving this fool, and everything went south quick. Now Walter would want to take a little heat off of himself, so Brian is his perfect target. Thoughtfully, he starred into the ceiling. "If Walter goes down, I bet he'll confess to framing Brian. How close is the PD to this guy?" Cole patted Mira on the back. "We'll free him, one way or another."

Mira looked at Cole. "Brian is the one to talk to about Walter." She sat up. "I'm gonna go change quick. Then we can leave." She ran up to her room changing into a pair of jeans and a blue t-shirt. She ran back down the stairs and slipped on her flip flops. "Okay. We can go. " She slipped her badge into her pocket just incase and waited for him.

Cole rose up from the sofa and grabbed the keys to the evo. "Let's roll." He opened the door for Mira. He was praying to God that this would work out, the last thing he wanted was to be caught in between a feud. But he had a feeling it would work out for the best.

Mira walked outside with him and locked up the house. She walked over to the passenger side of his Evo. "Thank you Cole." She opened the door. "It means alot to me for you to do this." She slide in and closed the door buckling her seat belt.

"My pleasure." He started the car and repeated the route he was just on. When they arrived at the hospital, he just bypassed the front desk and went straight to Brian's floor, Mira following behind. Once he got to Brian's door, the same guard was there to meet him. "Sorry, I can't let you in anymore today." He barked. Cole motioned to Mira. "I'm not going in, she is. She's his boyfriend." The guard hesistated, but then agreed to let Mira in.

Mira flashed the guard her badge and walked into the room. "Brian?" She stood by the door and looked at him. Seeing him in the hospital bed and knowing She was the reason he was there was like a knife to the heart. She felt the tears well up in her eyes but she refused to let them fall.

The conversation with Cole had made him feel somewhat better and at the same time it had made confused and want to run away. He needed to find a way out of the hospital as long as he was still there. The security here was much less than in prison. First he needed to talk to Mira urgently though. While he was going through all these things he had gotten so tired that he fell asleep.
Mira's voice woke him with a start. His eyes shot open and he struggled to sit up in bed but couldn't because of the cuffs on his wrists.
She looked like she hadn't slept in days, her hair was pretty messy but otherwise she seemed alright on the contrary to Brian who was still pale as the wall due to blood loss and hadn't shaved in three days.
"Mira, didn't think you would come." Immediately he averted his gaze. The guilt he felt towards her paired with the resentment made him want to run and hide.

"I didn't think you wanted me too..." Mira kept her gaze at the floor as she walked over to his bed side. "After what I did...." She felt a knot form in her throat. It was getting harder to keep the tears from falling. It should be that b*sturd Walter handcuffed to the hospital bed not Brian. She fought even harder to keep them back with her next words. "Brian I'm so sorry. I know you probly don't believe be but I really am." A single tear escaped and slide down her cheek.

Her words sounded sincere and he could hear her choking up but didn't want to see her cry so he barely looked at her when she apologized. For a moment he just stared ahead, then briefly looked at her. That single tear was enough to make him want to jump up and take her in his arms. "Why did you do it?" That was one thing he couldn't really make sense of. At the time he thought Mira was working together with Walter. Now he was just confused.
Outside the guard was shooting dirty looks at Cole. "You know this is actually off limits. You can't just walk in here whenever you want."

"You were gonna kill Walter. We need that f*ckface alive. You wouldn't listen to me...so I had to though I didn't mean to shoot you above your vest... I just couldn't stop my hands from shaking when I did." Mira looked at him. "I'm really sorry." She was tempted to reach out and hold his hand but was afraid he might get mad. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen... I really f*cked up this time...." She went back to staring at the ground.

Cole looked back at the guard. "It's important. Besides, you saw the badge, if you want me to go downstairs I will." Cole just started walking, thinking the guard would explain to Mira where he went. This was one of the many things that agitated him about cops, they were always finding some way to intrude on your life.

To hear that she actually didn't aim to hit him outside his vest was soothing. Seeing how she was suffering Brian could tell that it was for real and she wasn't playing him. There was one thing he didn't understand though. "Why did we need him alive? This way he can always find me and pay me back." That prospect was pretty scary considering he'd most likely want to kill Brian. Brian finally actually looked at her and felt that that same lump that had been in his throat multiple times today was forming again. He bit his lip.

"Because he is the key to this case. We take him alive he takes the fall for you, even though you did nothing to deserve being here." Mira reached into her pocket and pulled out a key. " I can't leave them unlocked when I leave but for now..."She carefully leaned over and unlocked both of his hands before sitting back down. She knew she shouldn't do that but it hurt her to see him cuffed to the bed. Especially because he was innocent.

As soon as the cuffs were off Brian shot a glance at the door. He rubbed the red skin on his wrists and muttered. "Thank you."
Pushing himself up to a sitting position he winced at the stinging pain in his shoulder. Quickly he suppressed a groan in order not to disturb Mira any more.
For a moment he looked at the open handcuffs and the keys in her hand. "You'll get in trouble." Then his hand reached for hers and squeezed it. His mouth opened but the right words just didn't come out. "I...I'm sorry for what I've done." Then again he wasn't really sure what exactly he had done. " I don't know...what the hell hap.." he cut his own studdering off because his throat was so tight that it was hard to speak. "Is the man alive? The one I shot."
