The doctor looks up starts to speak "Well, your friend in there was kinda lucky fellas... the only thing that the bullet hit was her appendix and part of her small intestines. We got in there and fixed her up but she is gonna need plenty of rest for the next few weeks. The doctor pauses for a minute before he continues. "We are grateful to you for keeping the medical supplies coming sir" He says as he looks directly at Red. "This could have been  much worse situation if you were not doing that. At times I think about how many innocent lives are caught up in this thing, this war and I am reminded that there are no innocents in war... no innocence." He adjusts his glasses and gives them all a look as he says to them. "I hope you succeed, I really do believe that all people should be treated equal. I mean really equal. But thats enough of that. Give your friend time to rest and you can see her. If one of you wants to sit with her you can."
The men agree that it should be Red and he enters the room where Rosemarie lies in the bed with tubes running everywhere and stands by the bed.
He has heard that people can hear when they are unconscious and he starts to talk to Rosemarie. He is tired but he needs to talk to her.
"Rosemarie I am sorry empress for all the things that I have done that were wrong in my life and since you have come into my life you have made me a much better person. I dont know what I would have done if I had lost you today Rosemarie... its like you are a part of me. I would never have had the strength to do the things that I have done in the past few months without you. You have the ability to drive me crazy and make me strong all at the same time woman and I appreciate you for that. I seem to have the ability to hurt so many things that I love that I find it hard to love Rosemarie but I hope you know that I do love you."
Red goes over to the chair that sits by the bed and he lowers his tired body into the chair. H e sits there for awhile until his eyes grow heavy and he falls asleep. He is awakened a couple of times as nurses come in and check on Rosemarie and one of them brings a blanket and covers him.
He has been asleep for a few hours when he hears someone call his name.
"Red."
The voice is a whisper but it has the impact of a bomb as it lands on his eardrums and soaks into his brain. He is awake and he spirngs to his feet as his shoulder cries out in pain.
"Rosemarie?"
She looks so weak as she lies there and Red is amazed that she still manages to look beautiful to him...even if her hair is a mess.
She looks at red and says "What you sorry for?"
He is lost for a minute and then he remembers all the things he said to her when she was unconscious. He wonders how much she heard.
"Damn!"
"Red this has been the most amazing adventure of my life and I would'nt change a thing...well except for that big ol head you got."
Red smiles as a nurse walks in and says "You got to rest honey, dont be lettin this big ol man get you all tired out."
Both red and Rosemarie smile at the nurses joke.
The nurse turns to Red and says "Either you go home or we are going to get you a bed and make you get some rest too. Honey tell your friend to get some rest so you can too."
Rosemarie looks at Red "You heard the boss Red."
He suddenly feels so tired. The little sleep he got in the chair seems to have done nothing for him.
Red walks over to the bed and bends down and kisses Rosemarie on the forehead before he turns and walks out the door and he does not hear the nurse when she says "That man don't know what to do with you does he?"
Red leaves the hospital and is escorted back to HQ where he fills the members of the council in on what is going on.
He goes to his room and takes some painkillers as he sips on green tea and put on some music.
He thinks of the women he has trained and he plans what to do with them. He thinks of andrea and he wonders why she has not come to see him. He is sure that she has heard by now. Gotta check on that. His last thought before going to sleep is his children. He wonders if they know this was all for them.
Bob Marleys Redemption Song carries him to sleep.
