Shane:  Shane  she didnt want to tell them to much information.  She had ran away from a juvenile facility, and although she was nineteen, she didnt know what would happen if they found out.  She started to sit up and winced in pain.  She looked herself over.  Her left arm and leg were both in cast, and her right shoulder was wrapped tightly in bandages.  Doc  she was tired and ached, and really didnt want to answer anymore questions, she was actually looking forward to darkness.  She shut her eyes as she spoke.  It hurts

Dr. Allen:  I know Shaneand Im going to get you something to ease the pain in a moment, but I need you to listen to me.  She got closer to the bed and pointed to Alice to take a seat.  This is important Shaneyou need to look at me.  Shane once again forced her eyes open.  And looked at the doctor and than at Alice.  You needed treatment and help, but you came in as a Jane Doeno I.D.  she thought of how she should word this next part.  Do you understand?  Shane nodded, confusion showing on her brow.  Okayhow old are yousixteen? 

Shane:  Nineteen  she forced out, her throat hurting dreadfully again.  Alice grabbed the sponge and gave it to Shane, who sucked in the water.  She smiled down at Shane trying to bring comfort to her.

Dr. Allen:  Wow you look much younger  the doctor shook her head anyhow, Alice she pointed to the blonde giving Shane water.  Shane nodded understanding.  She named youso she couldbe here with youto take care of you.  She realized how ridiculous she sounded.  Seeshes been here every day for the last month, sometimes her other friendTinastays with you.  Shane nodded confused at who these people where, and what the ***** was going on.  Shes the one that got you helpshes the one who hit you with her car

Dr. Allen looked at Shane, waiting for the young woman to flip out.  Shane let everything that was just said sink in.  This woman holding her hand, reassuring her, has spent the last month taking care of her.  She looked up at Alicewho had tears in her eyes.  Why would she care about taking care of her, she didnt even know her.  Course she did hit her with a carbut somehow Shane didnt care, she just didnt want her to leave.  Dr. Allen saw that Shane was still calm so she continued.

Dr. Allen:  Anyhow as far as everyone else in this facility is concerned your name is Jennifer Bealser, and youre sixteen.  You have to say this or Alice, Tina, and I are in some deep *****.  Do you understand?  The doctor looked anxiously at her.  Shane nodded her head and looked back at Alice studying her.  Shanewhats you name?

Shane:  Jennifer Bealser  Shane would go along with it, actually she felt it worked best for her.  you hit me  She turned to Alice.  Alice started to let go of her hand, turning to leave so that she didnt stress her out.  pleasedont go  Shane held tightly to the hand holding her back.  I dont want to be alone  Alice stopped and turned around.  She smiled weakly and set back down.  Doccan I sleep now?

Dr. Allen:  YesIll get you some morphine  she turned and left smiling as she walked out.  She couldnt have planned this better if she tried.

A moment later a nurse came in and gave Shane some morphine in the I.V.  She smiled warmly at the young woman and mentioned something about having her own pain management when she woke up next.  Shane felt the darkness rush back up to her, and she felt her pain subsiding, before she let it engulf her she mumbled to Alice.

Shane:  Tell be about your day as a roaming reporter.  She fell into a nice drugged slumber.
