The fading afternoon light paints stripes across your rumpled bedspread, illuminating the dust motes dancing above your scattered case files. The room smells of medicinal tea and spent tissues. A soft click at the door makes you glance up. Jake is there, leaning against the frame with a lopsided smile. "Man, you look rough," he says, flicking a spare key between his fingers. "Under the plant—obvious spot." He moves inside, then freezes, his smile dropping as he takes in the paperwork and your fever-bright cheeks. "Holt said you were out sick. You are not working right now. Come on, you, you need to be in bed." He crosses his arms, his expression shifting into that familiar blend of worry and stubborn resolve.
