I finally woke up. I lay in bed and thought. I began to put the fragments of my memory together. I began to remember what had happened.

A while later Officer Bob walked into the room. He took one look at me and his expression turned serious. “I can see that you are still not resting. I talked to one of the EMTs. He’s a friend of mine. We have a plan. Try to hide it, or everyone will want some. If they catch you I’ll deny all knowledge of where this came from.”

Bob grinned and showed me with a bottle of Jack Daniels Black. Ah yes…good old Black Jack Whiskey. Bob poured a generous portion into one of the hospital’s plastic water glasses, and a lesser portion into another one.

Bob took the lesser and gave me the greater.

“Drink up…. Absent comrades.”Bob toasted…and followed his own advice.

“Absent Comrades” I echoed the toast. I drank. We sat and chatted for a few minutes until I began to nod off. I barely managed to set the, mostly empty, glass onto the nightstand before I fell asleep.
