« Jacob ! Echoed Mac's voice in Danny's mind. I heard some noises I don't like… Jacob smirked. What happened ? Did you hurt Danny ? I want to talk to him !
- And I want to get out of here as a free man ! He snapped back.
- I can help you with that Jacob. Hendricks frowned. But I need to know Danny is fine.
- You're lying. You can't help me !
- I can Jacob. Affirmed Mac calmly, and silence followed.
- How ?
- I know people… important people. They can help you get out of there if I ask them. Jacob thought. But I need to hear Danny ! He added.
- Alright. He growled loudly and crouched in front of the CSI on the floor. Come on Danny-boy… He forced him in a sitting position. Your boss want to talk to you. Danny's eyes fluttered, pain and confusion obscuring his pupils. Jacob slapped softly his cheek, bringing back some of Danny's consciousness.
- What… He answered hoarsely and Hendricks sneered.
- Your boss, want to hear your lovely voice. He grabbed Danny's jaw and forced him to look up. So, say hi ! He smiled and the CSI frowned. I think he don't want to talk to you ! Shouted an amused Jacob at the doors.
- What are you talking about Jacob ? Let me talk to Danny !
- Mac… Breathed the CSI when he recognized his boss, and Hendricks looked down at him.
- Yeah Danny-boy… Your boss' here. Come on, talk to him now ! Danny coughed to gain back his voice.
- Mac ! He shouted huskily.
- Danny ! Are you alright ? What happened ? Are you hurt ? Danny thought, then glanced at Jacob then at the doors.
- I'm fine. He answered loudly. He felt pain each time he forced his voice out of his throat but he needed to talk to Mac.
- You're sure ? There was a pause.
- Yeah. He thought a second. How's Lucy ?
- She's fine Danny. Lindsay's with her… at home. They'll be fine. You'll be fine. Danny looked down, relieved his little girl was alright, and with her mother.
- Thanks Mac. He finally answered, feeling tired once again.
- You're welcome Danny. A silence passed.
- Mac ? He called.
- What is it Danny ?
- You'll be there right ? If… you know.
- You'll be fine Danny ! I'll get you out of here, I promise.
- Yeah, I know. Then in a soft voice he added. But I'm not sure I'd be alive…
- Danny ?
- Time's up Detective ! Answered Hendricks. Now go talk to your friends and get me out of here, as a free man !
- Alright Jacob. I'll talk to them, but… can you promise me you would not hurt Danny ? I won't help you if you do anything to him.
- I can't promise such a thing Detective. He smirked. But I can try to not hurt him too much.
- Jacob ! Mac did not seem pleased.
- It's the only guaranty I can give you Detective. Take it or leave it… but I know I win no matter which you picks. After all, I am the one confined with your boy. He sneered. And if I remember, you read my file… you know what I'm capable of. He waited for an answer.
- Yeah, I know.
- So, don't push me… and go talk to your friends. The longer you leave me in there, the more Danny-boy will suffer. Talk's over ! He added then.
- Alright Jacob. I'll get you out of here as fast as I can. » Then silence fell.
