Nick PT Barnum was one of the three men standing around the bed at Bridgeport Hospital wishing Robert White a quick recovery. There were good wish flowers and fruit baskets all over the room.
“You’ll be out of here in no time,” said the captain. “And thanks for being a good team player.”
“Anytime, captain,” he said.
“But you are a terrible decoy,” Nick added.
“Hey, I did my job,” he tried shouting. “It was you guys who dropped the ball.”
Nick nodded and pointed the captain all in the same motion.
“It will never happen again,” said the captain.
Robert White nodded slowly. He thought about his ordeal and realized that being captured by a mad man was one of the cruelest punishment man could ever endure. He knew that the captain wanted him to seek professional help, and that he had to agreed. Even though the terrible events were far behind him, he couldn’t move on until his head was clear.
“You okay, Bobby?”
“Yeah, I think I am.”
“You might be,” said Nick.”
The men looked puzzled.
“I dropped all of Janet’s booze,” he started explaining. “And when I get back to the office, she’s going to kill me.”
The captain smiled.
“You think that’s funny?”
“Don’t worry about her,” said the captain. “I had Cruz and Fuentes go back to the liquor store and buy all your drinks and deliver it to Janet. You see, everyone is happy now.”
There was a small knock at the door. Nick turned around and saw Roman Deharte standing there with flowers.
“For me?” Nick said.
“For the cop who risked his life for us,” Deharte replied.
“Come in,” said the captain.
“I want to thank you for what you did,” he said to Robert White. “The feelings and emotions at Madison and North couldn’t be any better. You did us a great justice, and I wish I could tell my aunt and uncles of your heroism. You are a hero.”
Robert White smiled.
“Thank you, so much.”

“I had help,” said the decoy. “I had help.”
Dr. Peres walked into the room carrying a clip board. She didn’t notice Nick Barnum until she checked the vitals on her patient. “What the hell is that doing here?”
“Good to see you too, doctor.”
She mumbled.
“I didn’t understand that,” Nick said.
“I said bite me!”
“Kiss you?”
“Bite me!”
Nick Barnum walked over to her, grabbed her and planted a long wet kiss. He let her go and waved to the guys as he walked out of the room.
“Captain?” she said softly.
“I’m a married man,” he said. “I can’t go next.”
She huffed and walked out.
