Chapter 26

"What do you mean?" Peter asked looking at Danny.

"I remember bits and pieces, but I thought that it was just part of the dream," Danny said holding his hand near the wound trying to get his power to work. He sighed when he realized it wasn't working. "I don't really know what exactly happened, but I do know that I didn't really do this to myself. It was something else, but I don't know what it was."

"It's okay," El said picking up one of his hands and holding it. "We will figure out what happened, don't worry."

"Danny, no matter what it was, we will make sure that it doesn't happen again," Peter said smiling that Danny was trying to be honest even if he was scared of the outcome. "It's okay; let's just worry about getting it better." Peter said calmly hoping to get Danny's heart to slow down to stop the bleeding.

"Okay," Danny whispered closing his eyes and focusing on getting his breathing under control.

"Honey, what do you think happened?" El asked as she switched out the gauze when it was full of blood once the bleeding had died down to only a couple of drops coming out. "Why does this have to happen to such a good kid?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling that Danny can't stay here if he wasn't the one to do this," Peter said getting wrap to go around the wound to keep it from bleeding again. "He may need stitches. I might know a place where we can get that done no questions asked," Peter said looking at Danny who had opened his eyes. They were calm and trusting, but Peter could see the nervousness in them and the uncertainty. He is afraid and scared of what we would think of him because of this, even if he doesn't want to show it. "It's okay Danny. I need you to relax and sit up so I can get this to go around your torso." Danny lightly nodded and slowly sat up. He winced at the pain.

"There, that's good enough," El said glaring at Peter for making him move and putting him in pain. Peter looked at her worriedly and El saw that he needed to know what Danny was going to do when in pain from the wound. She then realized that if Danny did do this then something was seriously up and someone is playing with him, and then that opened up the fact that someone knows that he is here. Peter making him move to see what his response is helps to determine what he was thinking if he was the one to do it. "If it was someone else, he is going to have to leave," El said looking sadly at Danny who was staring at the opposite wall.

"He might, but if he does have to we are going to make sure that we can have contact in case anything happens," Peter said looking at Danny. Danny looked at him sadly for a little bit before nodding realizing that he may have to go back on the street to lead Masters away from everyone. "That will be a last resort."

"Okay," Danny said smiling that he was going to do anything before letting him go back out there.

"Alright, now we need to go," Peter said helping Danny up the rest of the way.

"Where are we going?" Danny asked leaning on Peter to avoid putting pressure on his side.

"We are going to see a friend," Peter said smiling. "He is going to stitch you up."

"O…Okay," Danny whispered looking down as the gauze began to show more blood.

"We are going to have to hurry," Peter said seeing that Danny was starting to get out of it.

NEAL

"Yeah, Peter," Neal said sadly into the phone. "He should still be there."

"What happened?" Sam asked eating a banana. Tucker looked up from his eggs. They glared at each other.

"Something happened and Peter doesn't know what exactly until Danny wakes up," Neal said trying to be as vague as possible to keep them from freaking, but they were interesting and they weren't going to give that easily.

"Something happened to Danny," Sam said glaring at Neal. "Tell me what happened." Tucker looked between the two afraid of getting in the way of the angry Goth.

"Peter told me very little, but Danny is hurt and he doesn't know what happened," Neal said wide eyed and backing away from Sam. "Peter is taking him to get stitched up and he should be fine, bad news is that no one can see Danny if Masters knows where he is," Neal said backing around the table. Sam looked at him then at the ground realizing that Vlad knew that Danny was near his family and friends and can lead him straight to them. He could use Danny to destroy everything Danny has been fighting for.

"We have to move too," Sam said looking back up at Neal. "If Masters knows that Danny is with Peter then he is going to look for us here."

"Pack up," Neal said getting Mozzie on the phone. "We are going to move you guys on the other side of where we are keeping Danny's parents."

"Okay," Sam said getting all her stuff. She came back across the clothes given to her by Danny. She smiled knowing that everything was going to be for the best.

MOZZIE

"Alright," Mozzie said getting ready to leave the hotel room where Danny's parents were staying. "I have to go and get another room for Sam and Tucker." Maddie looked up confused.

"What are you talking about? I thought they were going to stay with Neal," Maddie said looking at Mozzie in confusion.

"Masters found Danny," Mozzie said looking though his phone looking for a place where he could trust the people around where he planned on putting Sam and Tucker. "Peter has to get Danny somewhere else as well."

"Is Danny okay?" Jack asked looking worried.

"Neal didn't say, but by the way Sam was yelling in the background, something happened," Mozzie said looking at them. "I will tell you as soon as I know."

"Okay," Maddie said holding her husband's hands. "I just hope that nothing bad happened."

"Me too," Mozzie said smiling. "Danny is strong; he will pull though even if everything is against him."

"I noticed that in Phantom," Jack said smiling. "He is strong and will always put others before himself. He won't give up just because Vlad found him."

"I know," Mozzie said leaving. That kid can stand against anything and win with little knowledge of his enemy. He knows a lot about Masters and knows when and how to get something done fast.

JONES

"You want me to watch Danny?" Jones asked over his phone heading to the address Peter had given him.

Yes, Danny is there I left him without anyone following. Danny didn't sense anyone following and the car that was following from my house is still following me.

"So I get to hide the ghost kid?" Jones asked a little excitement in his voice.

Yeah, talk to you at the office Bye.

"See you," Jones said hanging up his cell. He drove around the corner and Danny appeared beside him. He jumped a little and then playfully glared at Danny as he got in.

"My goal to scare the majority of the people helping is going great," Danny said favoring his side. "Then again, I had nothing better to do and I didn't want anyone noticing me back here."

"That's great," Jones said sarcastically trying to get his heart to slow back down. "Are you okay? Peter didn't tell me anything. Don't say that there nothing is wrong because I did notice that you are favoring your right side."

"Something happened last night and I honestly have no idea what," Danny said looking sadly at Jones.

"Peter said something about having a knife for forensics to test," Jones said seeing the gauze wrapped around his torso. "I just want to know what is wrong so I know what to do if anything else happens."

"There is a stitched wound running along my right side," Danny said monotone. "I don't really want to talk about it."

"I can respect that," Jones said looking at Danny when they came up to a red light. "People think that talking about something will help. But sometimes letting someone just think about it and then decide if they want to or not helps. Sometimes people don't need to talk about to heal, they only need support. Letting someone chose to tell what happened is something that is just as helpful," Jones said smiling as Danny seemed to relax and seemed to be more comfortable. Everyone if trying to get him to talk when he has already passed the problem and had moved on; everyone has been forcing this kid to talk when the thing that has been bothering him is more recent. He just needs support and he will win.

"Thanks," Danny said smiling. They turned left and a car popped up behind them and Jones keep looking back and then sped up. Danny looked at him and noticed that he tensed. "Someone is following us." Jones only nodded turning sharp. Danny winced as he turned right and put pressure on his side.

"Sorry, Danny. But I would hold on," Jones said turning back left and then turning right driving on the freeway heading out of New York.

"Where are we going?" Danny asked noticing that they were leaving New York.

"I'm just trying to lose these guys first," Jones said weaving in and out of traffic. "Once we get rid of them I will most likely drive around and enter the other side of New York."

"Okay," Danny whispered holding his side hoping that his stitches held. There wasn't any blood so he figured that they did. Something felt off about the ones following when they started to pull back. "I don't think that they are giving up."

"Knowing what you were doing, you are probably correct. They haven't given up since you left Amity, but I have a feeling that they aren't Masters' guys," Jones said turning right again and Danny hissed in pain. "Sorry, Danny, but in order to make sure that these guys can't follow I'm going to an undercover operation running just a little further. We will switch out vehicles and come back on the other side of Manhattan."

"Alright," Danny said clutching his side trying to get the pain to die down again. "I don't think the painkillers Elizabeth gave me are working."

"Sorry," Jones said looking at Danny. "I can pull over and gave you a rest."

"If you don't jerk around I should be fine," Danny said looking at Jones. "I don't think any kind of painkiller will work and stopping will only let Vlad know that I'm injured. I really don't want him taking that satisfaction." Danny started rubbing on the gauze hoping to sooth the pain and make it more tolerable.

"Yeah," Jones said looking from the road to Danny to make sure that his stitches held. "I need you to watch out for anyone else following. I don't want to get the undercover team in trouble." Danny slowly nodded looking out the window for anyone following. There was when Danny noticed him.

MADDIE

"Will he be okay?" Maddie asked as Diana started the car to move them once again.

"Peter has Jones taking him somewhere. He wouldn't tell me just in case," Diana said slowly turning right. "Danny has stitches and should be fine, but Peter is trying to figure out what exactly happened."

"Did Danny cut himself?" Maddie asked worriedly. "I thought that he wasn't going to do anything like that considering how strong he seemed."

"I think something happened that framed him for it. If Danny seems depressed, and when we get Masters, he could use that Danny is sadly depressed and doesn't want anyone to know what had happened to him. He would most likely say that Danny was trying to protect you guys even though you have been hurting him," Diana said pausing and watching as Maddie looked horrified.

"That would be really bad considering he could also get his hands on Danny using that," Maddie said glaring out the window. "No one messes with my baby without having consequences. I will make him pay for hurting my baby boy."

"Good, because I honestly hate him as well, he had broken into the FBI already so we are having trouble making sure that we can keep our entire files safe," Diana said stopping at a light. "He had taken one of the files with everything on him. Peter had made several for back-up."

"So he knows everything we have on him?" Maddie asked looking out the window.

"Only some, Peter has a hidden with everything," Diana said smiling. "Danny has one copy and Peter hid the other. The thing with Danny's copy is that Danny doesn't even know it."

"Really?" Maddie asked confused as to how he could have a copy and not even know it. "How?"

"Peter hasn't even told me. The one Danny has literally has everything in it to put Masters away for a couple lifetimes," Diana said smiling.

"Okay," Maddie said looking out the window.
