Sonny wakes up with a sudden jolt and involuntarily calls Will's name. He looks at his his alarm clocks and realizes that he has been asleep for just over 8 hours. He still has Will's shirt in his hand. He didn't lose grip on it all night. He immediately calls his mom to ask her to pick him up. "Hello sweetheart did you get any sleep?" "Yes, I need you or dad to come get me so that I can get back to the hospital." "Do you want us to come right now?" "No I have to shower and put on some fresh clothes." "Could you be here in say half and hour?" "Certainly honey, I will be waiting out in front of your building in half and hour." "Thanks mom talk to you on the way to hospital but I gotta go." "Love you bye" Sonny says as he hangs up and rushes to the shower.
"So did you sleep well last night." Adrianne asks. "Well had a few nightmares of Will being attacked, but I slept right through from the point of hanging up with you until I called you this morning." "You must have been really exhausted." "I was...I think all the adrenaline from everything just kept me going." "Oh I called about the carpet they will have a new one install before you get home tonight." "Thank you so much mom, when I saw that last night I just thought of how close I came to losing him." " Do you know if they have found the person responsible"Sonny asked? The news just said they had a few leads that they were pursuing." "But nothing more" Adrianne said as she pulled up in front of the hospital. "Well thanks again mom for the ride." "Give Will our best honey, we will come and see him when he is up to it." "I will tell him, love you" Sonny says as he closes the door. He walks through the sliding doors and stops at the information desk to ask if William Horton is still in the same room. He is informed that he has been moved to room 512 Sonny thanks her and heads to the elevator.
He exits the elevator and sees Abby sitting in the waiting room. She spots him and jumps up and runs over to hug him. "Is everything ok?, did something happen last night.? " I told them to call me if there were any changes." Sonny asked " No no ...I am sorry I didn't mean to scare you like that ..he is doing great...in fact he is sitting up and is able to eat and looks so much better than he did just a few hours ago." "Well I am going to go down to see him". "Okay talk to you later" Abby says as she watches Sonny walking quickly down the hall. Sonny knocks twice on the door to make sure it is okay to go in. "Sami answer the door and smiles at Sonny and give him a hug. Sonny walks into the room and sees Will sitting up and talking."Hello everyone" Sonny says. Sami suggest that everyone go down to the cafeteria for some coffee so they can leave Will and Sonny alone for a while. "Sonny looks at her and says "thank you so much Mrs Brady". And with that everyone files out ...Marlena stops at Sonny and squeezes his arm, and then departs. Sonny now turns his full attention to Will and starts to cry as he walks over to him and takes his hand and leans down to kiss him. "I was so scared Will I thought I lost you." "Seeing you with all these machines attached to you scared me to death." Will squeezes Sonny's hand and looks in his eyes." "I heard you talking to me while I was out of it." "Sonny I was trying so hard to get back to you." " You were what motivated me to work so hard to do that." "Come here lean your head down and Will puts his hand behind Sonny's head and pulls him in for a tender but loving kiss. "Woh there" Sonny says..."Doctor says you are not to get too excited." "To hell with the doctor" and he pulls Sonny down again and kisses him longer and harder this time. "Okay enough of that..there will be plenty of time for that when you get out of here." "Any news on when that might be? Just as Sonny finishes the question the doctor walks in.
"Well judging from his recovery speed I would say in two days but with very strict restriction for a few days more." "I must say you are looking much better Mr Kiriakis from when I saw you last." "I managed to get a few hours sleep when I got home last night...so that helped."Sonny responded. "I understand you just got here but I am afraid I am going to have to ask you to step outside just for a few minutes so that I may exam Mr Horton if you please." "Sure whatever you say." Sonny looks at Will and says "I will be back in a few minutes" and leans in for a kiss.
"So Doogie...how are things looking? Will asked jokingly sarcastic." Oh come on I thought I had lived that down by now." "Sorry dude you haven't. "How did you come to be my doctor?" "What do you think" he say with a laugh. "Well I am glad it was you...it is so much nicer to see a friendly face when you are being poked and prodded to death." "Hey keep that up and I may order a rectal exam." "Will throws his hands up in surrender. So lets take a look at you...Your eyes look good. Squeeze my hands, okay good. Any numbness anywhere? has the headache lessened any?" " No and yes" Will responded. "Okay good that's good." "Now just a few questions." "Do you remember anything about your fall?" "Well to be honest I don't remember falling at all there is something there but I can't seem to get a clear imagine." "That is to be expected for the first few days." "Now Will I want to talk to you about what happen. I am going to bring Sonny in." "You're scaring me doc." " The doctor walks to the door. And speaks with Sonny. Mr Kiriakis I want to talk to Mr Horton about what really happened and I would like you to try to keep him calm it could be upsetting to him to find out the truth." Sure doctor I will do whatever I can do. "Okay" They both re enter the room. "So then I was just discussing this fall with Mr Horton and he feels he has imagines other than falling" "I am going to talk to Mr Horton about what really happen."
"Mr Horton it appears that you were attacked in Mr Kiriakis's apartment a little over two day ago ...closer to three actually." "Does that bring back anything?" The heart monitor rate increases and Sonny squeezes his hand to to let him know he is there and to try to keep him calm. Will is speechless at first...he just sit there with his eyes wide open in disbelief." "Attacked me?" "Why why would anyone want to attack me.?" "Well that is the problem the police are trying to figure out." "Your grandfather has asked me to tell him when you are ready to talk about it." "So do you remember anything about that morning." "Well I do remember I was sleeping and there was a persistent knock at the door so I finally got up and that is the last thing I remember." "Do you remember a voices or anything this else that might seem odd." "Wait I do remember the the voice and it was familiar but I can't seem to put a face to it." "Okay that okay...it is a start." "We will stop right there for now." "That is good, it sounds like you have the memories but you can't access them yet." "You did sustain a major trauma to the brain, but you are doing great." " Well I am done here for now." "I will be back to see you later in the day" the doctor says as he leaves.
Sonny why would anyone want to attack me? Will asked. That is what we are all trying to figure out Will." "Your grandfather the police in general even my Uncle Vic." "Wait... you asked your Uncle Victor for help." "Yes I did Will he has people who do this sort of thing for him." "But Sonny those people are...you know...those kind of people." " I know that Will, but I want whoever did this to you to pay for what they've done." "Sonny listen to me...while I appreciate you wanting to do this I do not want you involved in that sort of situation...so please call your Uncle Victor and ask him to call off his people." "Will they have ways that the police don't have of getting information." "Which is precisely why I don't want them involved." "Please Sonny call him right now...please I won't be able to rest until I know you have done it." "Okay ..I will call him later... No right now please Sonny." Sonny acquiesces. And calls his Uncle in Will's present. "There done...so you can stop worrying." "Thank you Sonny I know your intentions were good but that is not you." "And I don't want to see you become like that." "You're right Will it was done on an impluse...I really didn't think it through." "But he did say he had some information that he would arrange to fall into the police's hands." "As long as your fingerprints are not on it I can live with that." "So do you want to talk about it a bit...see if you can recall anything?" "Oh by the way my mom and dad send their best...and Mrs Clayton was asking for you." "Really why would she ask about me?" "Well she is the one that saved your life...she found you on the floor of the apartment and dialed 911." "Well I will have to thank her when I get out of here." "I asked my mom to arrange to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to her today to thank her." Sonny informed him. "Something about this attack doesn't make sense ….not to imply that any of it makes sense but...If they were there to do you harm why only one punch." "And something Mrs Clayton said last night." "She saw someone in the parking lot looking toward my building and he was pacing back and forth while the rescue was getting you out of the apartment." "She said that once the person saw you being removed they left." "Oh and she also said that he was sort of shaking his left hand...she described it like as if someone had burnt their hand and were trying shake the pain away." "Or maybe the pain of punching someone in the face" Will added. "That is exactly what I thought when she told me." "But enough about that...how are you"...we're back Sami says as Marlena, Roman, Kate and Lucas come back into the room. "Here Sonny we bought you a coffee...it is not as good as your's but you make do."Sami said. "Oh thank you very much...I didn't even have time to grab a cup before I came here this morning." "So how is our patient doing?" " I am feeling better all the time." Will says with a smile. Sami continues to talk to Will as Sonny walks over to Roman..and asks if he could speak to him outside for a moment. Roman agrees and they both excuse themselves.
"What's up Sonny? "Well this morning the doctor told Will what really happen to him and asked him a few questions...like what does he remember does he remember the attacker's face or voice or any characteristic that could help tell who it was." "And what did Will say?"Roman asked curiously. "Only that he remembers someone knocking...Will said persistently, and that he got up and walked to the door and that is the last thing he remembers but that he did remember it was a voice that he knew but he can't place it right now." "Well that is a start." "But Mr Brady I talked to my neighbor last night first to thank her for saving Will's life but then I asked her if she remembers anyone hanging around or maybe going out as she was coming in." "Yes Sonny we got her statement yesterday". "Did she happen to mention that she saw a man in the far corner of the parking lot watching what was happening and as soon as he saw Will was wheeled out he left". "Yes she did but she said she was too far away to identify him." "Well when I talk to her last night she mentioned something that I don't think she mentioned to you or anyone else." "What was that Sonny?" "She said that this guy was shaking his left hand...she compared it to someone who burned their hand and was trying to shake the pain away." "That shaking might have come from this guy punching Will with his left hand. And having punched a few guys..that can hurt you almost as much as it hurts them." " Your right Sonny she didn't mention that part." "And I think your assumption might be right." "Thank you for that bit of information it will be helpful." "There is one other thing Mr. Brady." "Go ahead" Roman says. "Will and I were talking about it ...I was trying to see if we could jar his memory and it occurred to me that if whoever did this really had it out for Will why stop at one punch why not kick him or punch him more." "Why just the one punch?" "So I am thinking that whoever did this was just angry at Will over something and was just going to punch him but when he saw Will fall and hit his head and was unconscientious he got scared and ran off." "So you think that it was done as a rage thing?"Roman asked. "Yes and the fact that Will said he recognized the voice makes me think it was someone he knew and that this person thinks that he was wronged by Will in some way." "Does that make any sense?" " It makes perfect sense Sonny." "You should be a detective." "Thanks but I will stick to serving coffee for now." " So does this help you at all?" "It helps a lot Sonny." "I am going to start looking into it right now." Let's get back in there and I will say my goodbyes and start looking into this."
They enter the room together. Will looks at Sonny to see if he can glean anything from his expression. "I am going to head out" Roman says. "I have some police work to do." "Will you keep up the good work and I will see you later tonight". Roman then scans the room to see if anyone might have a question. When he hears nothing he leaves.
Sonny moves toward the head of the bed so he is not blocking Sami but he can still be close to Will. Sonny can see that Will is getting sleepy so he mentions it in passing so the others would pick up on it. "You look like you are getting tired there Will." "Sami then picks up on it and says "Let's let Will get some rest and we will come back later this afternoon." "Are you coming Sonny?" "If it okay with you I am just going to sit here with him while he sleeps, I won't disturb him." "That's fine...just let him get some rest ...I think we may have worn him out already to day."Sami say. Sami, Marlena, Kate and Lucas all give him a kiss goodbye and leave.
"Sonny looks at Will and Will thanks him for that...I was getting tired and I didn't want to offend anyone so I tried to stay awake for them." "Well you go to sleep I am just going to watch you but not in creepy...as you put it." "Sonny leans over and kisses Will once more before he drifts off.
