Kyle nodded. "That's good." He said, then pulled into the hospital parking lot, parking. "Seriously, the charges for animal abuse never get long sentances and it makes me mad." he muttered.

"I agree. Especially when you catch them again doing the same exact thing as before." Sara looked around the parking lot. If there was one thing she didn't like, it was hospitals.

Kyle nodded at that. "Yep." He then got out. "So, how long are we actually going to stay?" He asked her. I'm not sure how Mirano will feel about seeing... um... hearing me." He told her and shrugged.

"Not very long. But he's asking for us, both of us." Sara said as she got out. "I just hope he isn't too loopy when we do talk to him"

Kyle nodded, then walked inside. A nurse, noticing their uniforms, came over. "You're here to say Makaio Mirano?" She asked. Kyle nodded. "This way then." The woman said, hurrying off down a hall. Kyle shrugged, taking Sara's hand and following.

Sara stuck close to Kyle, the place freaked her out in the first place. Instead of looking ahead she concentrated on the white tiled floor. Without really thinking about it she applied a little bit of pressure between their hands.

Kyle smiled slightly, looking at her. "It'll be fine." He said. They were lead to Makaio's room. Makaio was laying in the bed, silent, though he was awake. The amount of bandages on him scared Kyle some, and his left arm was already in a car. The young officer's eyes were closed, and he looked thinner, and more helpless laying there in a hospital gown, with all the machines and the IV hooked up to him. Kyle started toward the man, who was leaned back against the pillows. "Mirano..."

Seeing him attached to all that machinery worried her and rather reluctantly, Sara let go of Kyle's hand and came over to Mirano's bedside. "Hey,Mirano, It's Sara. Kyle's here too." It must be scary not being able to see your surroundings.

Makaio wasn't completely there at this point. He kept his useless gaze down. His hands were shaking and it looked like he was trying to pet a dog that wasn't there. He was speaking, though it was just mumbles. the only clear word was "Bailey", which was his dead dog's name. Kyle came closer, watching him. Slowly Makaio stopped moving willingly, just shaking now. "Sara...?" He said, though it was a question. "Did you bring Bailey...?"

Sara didn't have the slightest clue who Bailey was. She glanced over at Kyle before looking back at Makaio. "...Bailey?" she asked carefully.

Makaio nodded. "Bailey... she's my dog..." He said. His dead dog. SHe had died a month before from a sickness not even the ASPCA's vets had been able to get rid of. He hadn't worked for a couple weeks after that, too snappy at everyone, too emotional.

For what Sara knew, he didn't have a dog, unless he was talking about the one that passed away recently. Sara walked over to Kyle and muttered something only loud enough for Kyle to here. "Bailey must have been his dog that died about a month ago. I don't know what to say.."

Kyle sighed. He stepped toward Makaio. "Mirano, if you want a dog to be with you, we can bring you one from the shelter." He told him, setting a hand lightly on his shoulder. Makaio cringed at the touch. "But your dog... she's been dead for a month, remember?" Makaio cringed again, but nodded.

Sara sighed, slightly relieved that Kyle said that. She was never really good at telling someone bad news. It even fell more awkward when one was loopy and already knew the bad news.

Makaio shivered. "I want another dog..." He said. "I want a dog to be with me..." Kyle nodded at that. "Alright Mirano, we'll get you a dog here later." He said, moving some of the younger man's hair from his face after a bit. It had been bugging Kyle, and Makaio.
