Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!
Lori was the first to enter the room. Lori hurried over to Steve's bedside. Danny came in next, followed by Kono and Chin. Lori sat down in a chair close to his bed. She leaned back against the chair and just stared at him with a sad – well – everything.
Danny looked from her to Steve a few times, but then settled his eyes on Steve. Chin and Kono's eyes were also glued to Steve. But every second of two, Kono's eyes would flicker over to Lori – just to make sure she was ok.
They stood like this for a minute, until Chin's phone chirped. He quickly whipped it out.
"Kelly." Chin answered, then paused. "Ok, we'll be right there." Chin put his phone away and looked at Kono.
"Body?" She asked.
"No, Family reunion. A couple members are leaving for a while, and we're all getting together at the airport to wish them goodbye." Chin finished.
"Oh. Ok. We'll be back soon. Keep us posted?" Kono asked hopefully.
"Absolutely." Danny nodded his head.
"Ok. Bye!" Kono and Chin waved as they exited the hospital room.
"Bye." Danny gave a weak response.
After Chin and Kono left, Danny figured he'd try to talk to Lori a little bit.
"Lori." Danny tried. Lori didn't look up. "Lori." Danny tried again. Lori looked up this time – knowing that Danny would keep trying until she made a response.
"It wasn't your fault." Danny said as he took a seat on the other side of Steve's bed.
"Wasn't yours either." Lori shot back.
"I know. But I was right there."
"So was I."
"I was on the roof."
"I was on the ground. Were he landed."
"You couldn't have stopped it from your position." Danny said sensing that this conversation was going anywhere.
"And you could've?" Lori asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Probably not." Danny chuckled – knowing that Steve was as stubborn as a mule.
Danny's phone buzzed.
"You gonna get that?" Lori asked.
Danny looked down at his phone. "Yeah. Give me a minute." Danny said getting up from his chair and walked outside the room.
Lori was left alone in the room that held an injured Steve.
