Scene 9


Dora made it back to Drake's hospital room where she found that he was sitting up in bed and perked up when he saw her enter the room. She smiled at him as she approached.

"I brought you some dinner," she said. "I hope you like hamburgers. There wasn't much in the refrigerator, so this was all I could whip up on short notice."

"Mmmmmm... Burgers and spuds," he said and his eyes grew wide. "Great, I'm starved."

"Would you like me to feed you?" she said teasing him.

"Only if you want to," he said and gave her an intense look. Her shyness took over and she turned away. "Hey, did I say something wrong?"

"No," she said but was still turned away from him. "I'm just not used to....

"What?" he asked. "A pretty girl like you shouldn't be shy."

"Stop it! I'm not pretty," she said and stood up with her back to him. "Not like the other girls."

"What other girls?" he asked as she turned back around to look at his face. He purposely looked around the room and under the bed. "I don't see any other girls." She gave a small laugh which made him smile. "There's just you."

"You got me there," Dora said, sitting down on the edge of the bed. She was more relaxed which she never was with other guys, but there was something about Drake. He definitely wasn't what he seemed. "Now, eat." She gave him the request which was more a command. He was in her care, and she was determined to get him strong and on his feet again.

"Yes, ma'am," he said and picked up one of the burgers and took a bite. "Mmmmm... This is good. Did you make this?"

"Yes, it's...umm...my own recipe," she said shyly. "I like to cook."

"I like to eat," he said jokingly, which made her laugh.

As they sat and talked and enjoyed each other's company someone had peeked in through the door. Dora looked over sensing that someone was there.

"What is it?" Drake asked, but he too knew someone was watching them.

"A spy," she said and got up and walked to the door. Just as she suspected she found her brother Jordon standing there. "Is there something I can do for you?"

"Not me," Jordon said, trying to look inside the room to see his sister's so-called patient. "Millie's looking for you, something about the science project."

"Oh, yes, we're partners," Dora said.

"She's in the rec room waiting for you," Jordon said, but there was something that told her that he wasn't being truthful.

"I'll go see what she wants," Dora said and slowly left the room. Jordon looked inside to see that green-haired hood still feasting on the burgers Dora had made. He walked in as Drake looked up. There was a smirk on his face which angered Jordon even more.
