THE VISIT:

*Bill is walking down the hallway in his usual attire, holding some flowers and a box of chocolates*

*Bill steps in the room where Brandon is staying*

[BILL:] "Hey, Brandy. I uhh... I got these for you. I really hated the idea that you would be hurt this bad. How are you?"

*Bill walks over, and sits down in a chair next to Brandon, setting the flowers and chocolates on the table next to her*

*Brandon sits up as Bill arrives*

[BRANDON:] "Oh, hey, Bill... Thanks for these. I'm okay, and I think I'll be good to go by tomorrow. It was just birdshot, I've ah, had worse things happen to me."

[BILL:] "Well it's good that you aren't hurt badly, that would've really beat me up. I've been working with Keenan on finding out whatever info his goons can find out about where my girlfriend could be."

*Bill's eyes trail to the floor as he looks off into space*

[BRANDON:] "Your girlfriend, eh?... I dunno if she'll even be alive by the time you find her."

*Brandon says this with a sigh*

[BRANDON:] "Anything I would give to sneak out of here to do some digging, but eh. Security here is tighter than a nun's asshole."

[BILL:]"I don't know if I'll ever see her again either... Man, what I wouldn't do just to see her face again."

* Bill is still looking at the floor, but peers up at Brandy's arm for the next line*

[BILL:] "I appreciate your offer of trying to help look for her, but you really do need the rest after what you've gone through."

*Bill looks Brandy in the face*

[BRANDON:] "I understand that you're concerned for me, but... I think I'll be okay."

*Brandon gives a nod*

[BRANDON:] "It makes me upset when people get all worried about me..."

[BILL:] "It's a bit hard not to worry for you. You're basically a second mom to me and I-... I can't bare to see my mom in this kind of pain, you know?"

[BRANDON:] "I... oh... um... I didn't... I didn't see you were..."

*Brandon is speechless at the thought of almost being motherly towards Bill.*

[BRANDON:] "I-I'm sorry, this is... this is new to me and, ah..."

[BILL:] "I'm sorry. If you don't really want to be that way for me I can understand."

*Bill is hot in the face and a very slight blush is on his face*

[BRANDON:] "No, no, it's completely fine, I just..."

*Brandon sighs, wiping sweat off her brow*

[BRANDON:] "I-I don't think I'd ever make a good mother..."

*Bill looks up and sees the look on Brandy's face*

[BILL:] "... I'd like to beg to differ. The murder thing aside, I think you'd be a good mom. Just being there is enough for me. It's kind of simple to take care of me anyways."

[BRANDON:] "Alright... I'll... try my best. Nothing like a family of cats, right?"

*Brandon says with a slight chuckle*

[BILL:] "Hell, maybe we could go for a jog every now and then, you know?"

*Bill is now getting a bit more enthusiastic*

[BRANDON:] "Yeah, sure. Once I get my prosthetics fixed we can try to go running. I'll tell you though, you'd better be able to catch up with me!"

*Bill laughs*

[BILL:] "Maybe I can on my bike..!"

*Brandon is pretty enthusiastic as well*

*Bill gets up*

[BILL:] "Well, it's been good seeing you. I hope you get better."

[BRANDON:] "Alright, see you tomorrow or so. Take care!"

[BILL:] "You too."
