A Series of Unfortunate Events Part: 38

[ Daniels Immediately knew that it was Sgt. Reaver returning to look for him with the stealth drive systems on the chopper turned off so as to make it easier for Daniels to position himself to be found.]

2008

The still and darkness of the hospital seems consume all sounds that are attempted. Even the light that is entering through the louvers of the blinds seems to be diminished by the stiff darkness that looms within the room. In the pale light cast over the bed by the combination of the light entering from the window and the glow of the monitoring equipment bedside, slight movement can be noted. The sheets on the bed raise and lower in rhythm with Jason’s somewhat erratic breathing. A clock on the wall shortly strikes 11:30. The low click of the minute hand falling upon the 6 seems as thought it was the one thing just loud enough draw Jason out of what everyone was sure was a coma. Jason springs into an upright position and looks about the room much more calmly than his initial actions suggest. His seemingly calm demeanor is belied by the high activity levels on the heart monitor.

Not long after his rising, a nurse enters the room. She immediately urges Jason to lay back down and to try to remain calm.
“Do you know where you are?”
“Judging by your scrubs, I’m in a hospital.”
“good” The nurse cracks a smile that is barely visible in the light entering from the open door.
“Soooo I passed out and hit my head. What’s the big deal?”
“I see. Do you know what day it is today?”
“Hmm, I doubt it is even sill today. Last I remember it was morning and it is now dark all over again.”
“Ok, so what is your best guess as to what day it is?”
“Ugh, oh god, uhm… well that was about Saturday when I went out, so it’s gotta be about Monday.”
“Ok”
The nurse takes his blood pressure and his temperature then leaves the room momentarily. She later returns with syringe and begins to inject its contents into Jason’s I V.
“Whoa, wait a minute. What’s that?”
“It’s just some antibiotics and something to help you sleep”
“I’ve been asleep long enough I think I really shou-…”
Before he could finish his sentence the contents of the syringe were running their course and Jason was once again unconscious.

After rendering Jason unconscious the nurse returns to the nurse’s station. She takes down a few notes and then dials an extension on the phone. She converses very briefly with someone on the phone noting that Jason was awake and has been safely incapacitated.
