Chapter 9: Jailbreak

“Who died and made you king?” said Nori.

Brad dumped the contents of the paper bag onto Nori’s lap.

An oversized orange T-shirt, a lavender nightgown with teddy bears on it, and a pair of lime-green Crocs fell out. Nori looked at the t-shirt that said, ‘I survived cancer’ in large white letters.

“So remember last night when I said I was babysitting a woman named Porsche?”

“Yeah, I remember.”

“Do you see her standing next to me?”

“No–”

“Then stop asking stupid questions and hurry up.”

“But the Doctor hasn’t–"

“Forget about the doctor, we need to get out before they figure out I’m not your husband.”

Nori snorted and picked up the rest of the clothing, “Where the h*ll did you get this stuff?”

“The hospital gift shop is poorly equipped for jailbreaks.”

“No kidding,” she said, and turned to look at him, “Speaking of which, why the h*ll should I go anywhere with you? This whole mess started cuz you lied to me.”
