"I have to call her. Where's my phone?"
Ryan tried to sit up before realizing that was a painful option. Andy gently laid a comforting hand on Ryan's shoulder to calm him down and keep him in bed.
"You need some rest, and I don't think she wants to be bothered tonight," he said. "We'll call her tomorrow."
Ryan leaned back, closing his eyes with a defeated look on his face. There was pain on his face, and Andy was sure it wasn't just from his missing appendix.
"You'll stay here for a little?" Ryan finally asked him.
"I will," he replied. "Get some sleep."
Andy sat in a chair next to the bed, watching the television to see if there was anymore news about Sydney's company, but nothing else was mentioned.
Ryan fell asleep only a few minutes later. Andy quietly left the room, feeling sympathy for the rookie he was leaving behind. In one day, Ryan found out he had lost his appendix and his friend lost her job working for a really bad guy. Andy had to give Sydney some credit. She really was being serious when she said she wasn't able to tell Andy anything about her day without her lawyer. She at least seemed smart when it came to the case that had taken her boss and her job in one day.
But he still had no clue what her deal was with the goldfish.
