Chapter 2

G was silent the whole way to the hospital. Sam gave it a good thirty miles before he couldn't stand it anymore. "Alright G talk. It's me here no one else so give me the story on this."

G sat silent for a moment longer before answering. "If it's all the same to you I would rather not. I just need to get to the hospital and figure out what is going on and then maybe I'll talk."

"G, come on. What are you hiding about this? What is so big that you don't want to talk about? So you know this girl, no big deal. It's good to know you still keep in touch with some of your foster families I've been working with you for a while now and I didn't even know you still talked to people of your past." Sam said getting off one highway to get onto another. His partner was still silent, and he let him stay that way. He wasn't going to push. It would come out sooner or later.

Hailey woke again in a panic. She couldn't move her arms they were bound somehow, and she could barely open her eyes to figure out where she was. She could only make out some figures standing over her and talking though it sounded muffled. When one of the figures went to reach for her she freaked. "NO, Don't touch me get off!" she yelled as she thrashed around trying to fight whoever it was. The part where the paramedics came was dream, you were kidnapped. They are holding you for torture. That was her thoughts before she could calm down. "I don't know where it is! I told you I don't know!" She was sobbing.

"Hailey!" An unfamiliar male voice yelled while holding her down.

"Should I give some more ativan?" Another voice, but female, said while Hailey still fought.

"No, I want her to know what is happening or this will keep reoccurring. She needs to relax on her own terms without sedation. Hailey, I need you to calm down, you're in the Hospital. You are ok." At that Hailey stopped.

"I don't believe you. I don't believe anything." She cried because it was the truth. They could have tried to cloud her judgment make her think she was safe to get whatever they wanted out of her.

"Hailey, you got to believe me. You are in the hospital. I'm Dr. Whittier. You are pretty banged up." The male voice said and then grabbed her hand which made her jump. "I'm just going to get the restraints off of you. We put them on you because of your nightmares. You were trying to rip out your IV and you need that fluid going into you. You have some broken ribs, a head contusion, a stab wound that isn't too serious along with two black eyes and some abrasions. We are going to get you better but we need you to calm down and trust us." At that Hailey stopped fighting. At that point she didn't care anymore. She had calmed mostly aside from her crying and figured that if they were telling the truth, good, if they weren't it couldn't get much worse then what she had been through already and she was ready to die. "Have you found her brother yet?" She heard the doctor ask.

"No his location is not known at the moment. I've talked to a couple people at Camp Pendleton and the only thing for sure is that he isn't in Iraq or Afghanistan. He is in Special Ops so he isn't really in a position to be located." The female answered.

At that point Hailey sobbed a little louder. Her brother was indeed on a mission and it scared her that she hadn't heard from him in so long. She knew that didn't always mean anything but nonetheless it still made her worry. The only other person she really knew that could help her was also someone she couldn't randomly get a hold of and also someone she hadn't seen in a couple years and she knew he could possibly be at an unreachable point as well and the third person was dead, shot right in front of her in the head a scene she was never going to forget along with what was done to her before they killed him.

"Hailey, sweetie, we are going to take care of you, don't worry. We'll find some way to get a hold of your brother. Until then you are safe. Are you in any pain?" The doctor said to her.

When he said that is when it actually hit her that she was in some slight pain, nothing too serious but she figured that was because they had already given her some meds. She was a nurse she knew the drill. "A little, I'd rate it a 5." Her voice sounded hoarse to her and weak.

"Well I'm going to take care of that for you. When was the last time you gave her pain meds?" He asked the nurse.

"Haven't given her any pain meds. She was given the ativan when she came in this morning and has been in and out ever since." She responded.

"Then give her the pain med." He said. "Hailey I'm gonna go see other patients I'll be back soon. This is Nurse Tammy, she'll be taking care of you." Dr. Whittier patted Hailey hand and then left. She could then feel her IV being tinkered with and then felt the drowsiness return and then things went black again.

Sam barely even stopped the car before G opened the door and got out and started walking toward the main entrance of the hospital. Still not a word. Sam had never seen him like this before, but assumed that this person really did matter to him or he wouldn't be acting like he was. He knew G could hold his temper pretty well, but for some reason he got the vibe that G was a time bomb waiting to go off.

"I'm looking for Hailey Turner, she was brought in this morning." G asked the front desk lady who was talking on the phone and put a hand up to him to make him stop speaking while she continued to gossip on the phone about something other then work.

"He did what? Well, honey I told you a long time ago that man wasn't any good for you." The lady said.

G couldn't wait, he reached over the desk and hit the flash button on the phone. The woman looked at him as if he had just made a rude comment. "I'm looking for Hailey Turner. She was brought in here this morning. I'm Special Agent G Callen, now if you don't mind this is a little more important then your girlfriends boyfriend." He held his badge out so she could see and added his cute smile along with it to piss her off anymore.

She typed something into her computer loudly with frustration. "She is in Intensive Care Unit on the 5th floor. It is a locked unit. Take the elevator then turn right." She still didn't smile and still gave him the evil glare.

"Thank you..Ida" He looked at her name tag and then headed toward the elevators with Sam right behind him. Getting into the unit wasn't difficult. Not as difficult as he would like it to have been. He showed his badge in the camera outside the locked door and the secretary told him which room to go into without a second look at their badges and there was no one guarding the door to her room. That was going to change by the time he left there. The nurse that was in the room was charting vitals G cleared his throat to let her know he was there. "I'm Special Agent Callen and this is Special Agent Hanna."

"Is that suppose to mean something to me." The nurse turned around. She had her blonde hair up in a pony tail. A skinny but beautiful figure in her powder blue scrubs, Fair skin gorgeous blue eyes. But her face was serious. She was being serious.

G focused on that face and tried not to look at the girl in the bed that didn't even look like Hailey. The face was busted up with two black eyes, a bandage over the forehead. She had wrists restraints on. No this couldn't be her. "I must have the wrong room. I'm looking for Hailey Turner's room." He started to back out not wanting to believe what he was seeing.

"No you have the right room. And I will tell you what I told the Cops earlier, she needs her rest she doesn't need to be bothered by anyone right now. She's been through enough without all the questions you need to ask her. Now if you excuse me I have two other patients to check on and I suggests you come back tomorrow."

She tried to walk away. But G stopped her by getting in front of her walk way.

"I would deeply respect that and all but the difference is that I know this girl. I am friends with her brother. Has he been here?" G asked.

"If your friends with him wouldn't you know that answer?" She was being a smartass which G usually loved about a woman but not this time. "That personal it's been a couple years so no, I don't know that answer. So I'm staying here until she wakes up." G put his foot down. He wasn't going to let her say no. If Max hadn't been there then that meant he was on a mission and that Hailey didn't have anyone else, but him.

"Fine," the nurse said. "Your badge please." She asked G and then looked at Sam. "Yours too."

They did as they were told and showed her proof. another roll of her eyes. "You may stay, if she wakes up don't upset her she needs her rest." She said and then left.
