"You keep your mouth shut!" She exclaimed quietly and rushed over to Jack. "Don't insinuate something like that!" She spoke through gritted teeth. The nurse came back with the first aid kit and handed it to Jack. She waited for them to tend to Derek and stood there with her arms crossed. She tapped a foot, both impatiently and nervously.
"You need to come with me." She dragged Jack away once they cleaned Derek up. Derek drank some ibuprofen for the inflammation and fell fast asleep. He wasn't beat up too bad and he didn't have any head damage, so the nurse let him sleep and went back to her station. Alison pulled Jack into a secluded area and shut the curtains. Jack knew. There was no hiding it. "Look. Whatever you do, just. Keep. Your. Mouth. Shut. I'll keep his gang away from you," she paused, "because they will want to come after you. I will keep them away- not that you need any defending-" that was obvious, "if you keep your mouth shut. No one is to know. I mean. No one." Alison was fidgeting. Her anxiety was kicking in. She started breathing heavily. If Derek's secret got out, it would be the end of him.
She reached into her purse and pulled out a bottle of pills. She swallowed one dry and turned her attention back to Jack. "Do we have a deal?"
