Adam padded to the refrigerator and grabbed out a can of cold soda. He much would have preferred a beer, but Lindsey had come over and stocked the place for him, declaring that beer was off limits until he was off all the painkillers. She'd taken to mothering him until he was able to take care of himself. Adam didn't mind though because that's just the kind of person Lindsey was. Danny was lucky to have her in his life.

After making his way to the couch, he flipped through the channels and only finding infomercials for crap that no one needed or wanted and old depressing movies from eras before he was born, turned the set off and sat in the early light of dawn. He'd again woken up with nightmares that were the fallout from his hostage ordeal. The department shrink told him they were to be expected and would fade with time and as he got back to normal routines.

Each time, they were different and he always woke up, screaming and shaking. He mildly wondered if Danny was experiencing the same thing. At least Danny had Lindsey to hold onto. He had no one in his life because work always came first and getting paged in the middle of a date usually didn't lead to a second date and it was easier to just work and be single. Still, he wouldn't have minded having someone in bed next to him to hold onto. Maybe this was his wake-up call to start living his life instead of letting it pass him by.
