Iris hugged him and said choaked, "I...I know...I can...as soon as I could..." she cired into his shoulder, "I should of come sooner..."

"I'm OK. I'm OK," Beans kept reassuring Iris, although in the back of his mind he was sure some of the sadness regarding... that friend of hers, Beans couldn't remember the name, who had been murdered.
"Shhh. It's OK."

Trist retained eye contact with the Chief, although her face was burning and she wished for nothing more than to disappear, even stare at her feet if it would help. But she wasn't sorry. She may have missed two people, but she had saved another's life. Helped save a second as well.
She did look at Claire though, almost unconsciously. Not seeing exactly, more like trying to acknowledge she had said something, even if that "something" escaped her at the moment.
After this is over I'll need a dye job, Trist thought distantly. Possibly contacts, although the sunglasses should be sufficient. And, although it wasn't a conscious thought, she knew she would need to make it up to the Chief somehow before she could get another assignment.
Had she heard Claire, she would have offered to share an apartment with her. It was small, but she was hardly ever at home, so Beans' fiancée would have it mostly to herself.

After a few minutes, Iris got control over herself and then started ushuring Beans to his medical bed, "You...You shouldn't of gotten up." she sniffed and smiled slowly.

Instead of arguing the point, Beans simply sat down. He knew that Claire and Iris were close... or, at least, they had been, at one point. Iris hadn't come over for dinner in quite a long time, though.
"I know Claire will be happy to see you," Beans said. He hoped that there hadn't been a fight of some sort he'd never been told about, because as far as his knowledge took him, the two were still friends. "She wasn't hurt; just fazed a bit."

Iris nodded, "I know....I know she was brought back safly. I.." she tried not to seem embaressed, "I know the guy that brought her back."
And slept with him. She decided it might not be too wise to devolge that information so she quickly tried to change the subject, "I actually thought she'd be ehre with you...Where is she?"

"Police station," Beans replied reflexively--but caught one certain detail. "Huh? A guy didn't bring her back," he said, confused.

Iris blushed for a second before she bit her lip a little, "Y..Yeah...s.seperate from the police. He tracked her down. I heard that Vincent helped him."

Beans was still puzzled, but dropped the point. He leaned back, face contorting in pain as his back realigned with the bed. "So, how are you, Iris? I wouldn't mind you staying here to talk, though I bet you're anxious to go see Claire...."

Iris nodded, "I..I am..." she ofteten spoke to Claire about ehr loveless life...and she wanted to know how claire was copping with her previous captivity. Iris looked at Beans, "Are...you really alright?"

"I don't know the technical terms," Beans answered seriously, "but they say I'll live. Blood transfusions, surgery, stitches, a permanent scar...."
Beans glanced sidelong at the wall with a small amount of resentment. This then faded, and he returned to his chipper disposition.
"But I didn't join the police force expecting to never be injured."

Iris smiled sadly, "Well....we all have our scars...." she shook her head, "But hell...you have Claire..and...you're still alive0 That counts for something."

Beans closed his eyes and smiled--pure pleasure laced his voice, now. "Yes... yes, it does...."

Iris stopped loking sad. He was going to go on. Some cops don't get over such things so easly...but Beans was tough...and he had Claire with him. Iris smiled, "So....when are you two going to get married?" she grinned slyly this time.

"Claire said she was 'waiting for the right time,'" Beans replied, eyes closed, but no longer staring at his imaginary scene inside of his head. In other words, she knew, but he had no clue.
((Gtg. Bed early, getting up early... Great grandmother hospitalized, cancer... Ehck..))
