They stood beside Danny; he was absorbed in his own thoughts, and didn't register their presence. .
"Danny" Mac said. He waited for a reply. When he didn't get one he repeated himself. "Danny."
"Hey…" he answered, as Mac's voice registered in his mind. He turned immediately to the window upon realizing all the people in the room.
"How is he doing?" Flack asked.
"Well… he's bad…real bad…" Danny answered, a tear falling down his cheek.
"What about you?" Lindsay's voice sounded through the room.
"Well… I'm not complaining, it's not me in the hospital bed."
"Hey, you know we are all here for you; whatever you need. We aren't going to stop till we know what happened and we get the guy who did this." Stella informed him.
"Yeah, I know, thanks…"
"You don't have to thank us, it's what friends do." Hawkes cut Danny off.
"I know guys, really." Danny replied
"Ok, Danny we're out. I have talked to Sinclair and we're all on this case, except for you Danny." Mac added when he saw Danny's face.
"Why?" He asked.
"I think that's obvious, you're directly connected with the vic" Mac answered.
"One" Danny replied "he's not a vic, he's my brother, Tony, he's not dead and two, you are also connected with him."
"Look Danny, don't make this any harder then it has to be."
"Okay Mac, you're right, I'm sorry."
"It's okay Danny, we know you're stressed but try not to take it out on the team." Stella suggested.
"Okay okay, I'm sorry."
"Well, let's go. Lindsay, you talk to Danny about Tony's possible conflicts and enemies…" Mac started.
"Conflicts and enemies?" Danny cut him off again "Come on Mac, he's just seventeen, what enemies can he have acquired?"
"Please Danny, don't cut me off" Mac answered giving him a disapproving look "So, Stella, Hawkes, you collect Tony's personal effects. Flack, you and me are going to talk to the paramedics." Without waiting for an answer he started to walk to where the paramedics were.
