(Taka was turning the corner of the hallway and kept looking at the necklace)
Taka: I wonder why she didn't take it? Maybe she didn't understand the letter?
(He stopped in front the door to room 202. Taking in a breath he opened the door. Mariko had her back turned to the door. She slowly rolled over)
Mariko: Doctor?
Taka: I'm not a doctor.
Mariko: (suddenly wide awake now) You!
Taka: (sheepishly) Hi.
Mariko: How dare you come here.
(She threw the nearest thing, a bedpan. Taka dodged it with ease)
Taka: That is no way to say hello to an old friend.
(Mariko tried to get out of the bed, but Taka made it time to push her back in the bed)
Taka: You needn't get up or you will bust the stitching.
Mariko: (laying back down ) What is the difference I shouldn't even be in here.
Taka: From what I heard you lost a lot of blood. If it wasn't for those two people you could have died.
Mariko: Me die? That is little hard to believe.
(Taka pushed a silver strand of hair away from her face)
Taka: (saying softly) I know, but in these times when you lose a lot of blood people want to rush you to a hospital. It wouldn't be healthy if you were able to heal on your own.
Mariko: Why should you care, you're just a guard.
Taka: (matter-of-factly) I'm the Captain of the Crystal Tokyo force.
Mariko: So that means I out rank you.
Taka: Yeah, but...
Mariko: (cutting him off) Why are you here?
Taka: Confidental.
(There was a knock on the door. A young female nurse entered)
Nurse: Visiting hours are over.
