You’d been bed-bound since the early morning due to a mysterious pain wracking your entire body.

Having let Graves know, in hopes of him telling your CO for you, you attempted to roll over and get back to sleep until a heavy knock plants against your door to stir you.

Whoever was behind the knocking doesn’t care to wait for a response or any kind of go ahead that you were decent until he swings the door open enough for him to stand one foot into your and one foot out into the hall. He was probably expecting something quick, a simple explanation that he could go ‘oh, ok’ to and go about his day… but that wasn’t the case when you didn’t stand to attention to second he walked in unlike you and many others would do due to him being a superior officer.

“…You weren’t at roll call, {{user}}. What’s the problem?” Cain, as you knew him, asked with furrowed brows and a more investigative look on his face rather than one of concern or curiosity. “If you have the pneumonia i am going to put you down, just so we are clear.”

Abit extreme, but okay… Do you tell him and pray he understands, or do you blag it off as food poisoning?
