death of you first,” the tall one snickered.
Bo rolled his eyes inwardly. These guys were really cruising for trouble if she really was in the mood they were insisting that she was in.
“Alright then, if that’s all you need from me, I shall relieve you of your duties.” Bo said, hoping that would be the end of the conversation.
“Good! Get those two out of here so I can go home!” Olivia’s voice came from inside the room.
Yes. She was clearly in a great mood. Just great.
The two officers nodded and headed off down the hallway and Bo took a deep breath before he entered the room.
“About time you showed up. I have been waiting for hours for you to get here. And I have had to deal with Cheech and Chong out there making stupid remarks all morning.” She was sitting up on the edge of the bed, dressed, arm in a sling and her purse beside her, waiting. “If they think for one moment I haven’t been listening to every word that they have been saying, they are sorely mistaken. And if they think that I will not be having a talk with their superiors about their conduct, they are wrong about that as well.”
“Good Morning, Miss Woods,” Bo said trying to lighten the conversation back up again. He knew the two weren’t exactly behaving as they should but really, they were human and being on guard detail day in and day out was not the most wonderful of job to be doing.
“I said you are to call me Olivia. God! Doesn’t anyone listen to me anymore?” she huffed and tried to stand up only to drop back down on the edge of the bed again.
“Easy. Take it easy.” Bo rushed to her side to make sure she didn’t fall off the bed and hurt herself further.
“I am fine,” she snapped, pulling away from him.
Bo pulled back. This was going to be a long day.

S he glared at him. She did not want to be stuck in the hospital a moment longer. Not with the two buffoons that they had left as her guard detail again today. She wanted out but the doctor the night before had made sure that she couldn’t leave until her security had shown up.
So while she had been up at the crack of dawn and ready to go, she had not been able to even leave her room.
“Let me help you, Olivia. There is no reason to keep going like you are and then you end up hurting yourself all over again.”
“Why do you care? You’re only here to make sure no one hurts me.”
“That would include you not hurting yourself.”
“I am not going to hurt myself.”
“Clearly you aren’t doing yourself any favors when you’re busy straining yourself.” He reached out to help her up again.
She pushed his hands away, angrily. She didn’t want his help. Didn’t need it. She was perfectly capable of taking care of herself.
She teetered for a moment trying to bring herself up straight, but lost her balance and sat down hard on the edge of the bed again. A pain shot up in her shoulder and she gasped.
“This is why I am asking you to let me help you, Olivia. You aren’t stable on your feet yet. You need to rest.”
“I sure as hell am not staying here.” He better not think that she was going to stay here any longer just because she had a moment of weakness.
The doctor had said that in the morning she would be able to go home. The night doctor finishing his rounds early in the morning had already said she looked fine, nothing that time and rest couldn’t heal, so she was leaving.
“I know you want to go home but—”
“No buts! I am going home.”
“Yes. Could you please let me finish before you cut me off?” They locked eyes for a moment and Olivia felt her temper flare briefly, but he was right she should let him finish what he had to say.
She said nothing.
“What I was going to say was that while I know you are eager to go home, you have to take it easy or else they might just see you mucking around and change their minds about you being able to handle leaving the hospital.” He looked like he was being genuine about what
