[ Eddie's up on his feet as soon as Chrissy starts to move, offering her his arm to lean on as they make their way over to the wheelchair. They're both crazy if they think they can make it out of here that easily, but then again, these are pretty crazy circumstances. ]
Let's just hope we don't run into any more visitors for you.
[ He can maybe improvise something to tell the hospital staff, but anyone who actually knows Chrissy won't be so easily swayed. Once she's seated he yanks a blanket off of the bed, helping to wrap it around her shoulders before checking the door one more time. The hallway is relatively empty - all they need to do is make it to the elevator. ]
You ready?
[ Once she nods her approval, Eddie slips his sunglasses back on (amber-tinted aviators - definitely not his style) and gives her one more smile. Grabbing the handles of the wheelchair, he gives it a gentle push and begins their trek down the hallway. So far, so good. Either this floor isn't staffed very heavily or they've just got really good timing.
It's not until they make it to the elevator and Eddie hits the button that the woman at the reception desk looks up from her magazine and frowns at them. ]
Just taking the little lady for a smoke break. You wouldn't know it, but she gets real cranky without her nicotine fix. Don'tcha, Chris?
[ Eddie pats Chrissy's shoulder and grins at the receptionist, who rolls her eyes and returns to her magazine just as their elevator arrives. It takes all of his willpower not to start howling with laughter before the doors close and it begins to descend with them inside. ]
