"Miss! You can't go in there!" The nurse protested. Amanda intercepted her so that she couldn't attempt to stop Sinthia.
The man lying in the bed didn't much resemble the formidable Russian agent that she knew. With all the equipment around him, he looked small, vulnerable and pale. His normally pale Northern complexion was even paler and slightly gray. Nasal cannula pumped oxygen into his nose; there were a couple different IVs, one feeding plasma into his system through the artery in his arm, the other wasn't immediately identifiable; the left side of his face was swollen and bruised, his eye nearly swollen shut and a bandage covering from his eye to just above his ear; his other arm was stabilized and kept immobile by a splint that went from his knuckles clear up to his shoulder which was heavily bandaged; and he lay so very still.
After a moment, a doctor and the hospital's medical director came into the room, "Miss... I'm sorry you can't be in here right now."
