Jon found that he had been wrong, and only seeing things. Ponch was still out, and stayed out for three more days. It had been the longest three days of Jon's life. He woke up early in the morning and watched over his partner the rest of the day, taking small naps in between.

During one of Jon's mini naps, Ponch had woken up and looked around the room. Everything seemed different to him than it had before. He wasn't as used to his normal room as he was his ICU room. It was a lot bigger in here, there was a tv mounted on the wall, and he looked over and saw Jon was in a bed a few feet away from his bed. He relaxed knowing Jon was there, but seeing that Jon was in a hospital bed and a little beat up he was worried.

"Jon?" he asked. No answer. "Jon?" he asked again Jon didn't even stir. "You better just be sleeping, man," Ponch said. He moved to get more comfortable. His head was killing him! He squeezed his eyes shut and a few tears fell as he tried to fight the pain. He ended up drifting back off to sleep after a while.

oOoOo

Ponch came to visit Bear, Bear was just getting ready to leave when the doorbell rang.

"Oh, Ponch…I was just leaving," Bear said.

"So I can't visit?" Ponch asked.

"No…not now," Bear said, looking down at the floor.

Ponch stared at his friend it was weird for him to turn him away like this, even if he was going somewhere he normally would ask if there was anything going on, but not today he seemed in too much of a hurry. Ponch wondered why.

As soon as Bear left and started his walk down the sidewalk to a dark alley, Ponch started walking. He kept a few steps behind so Bear wouldn't spot him.

Ponch felt a shiver go down his spine as he followed…why was Bear turning down that alley? And what was with the ripped up jeans, and over sized sweat shirt he was wearing? That wasn't a normal outfit for him, he looked, well different. Like a poor attempt at wearing clothes for being out on the streets, if he skipped the over sized sweatshirt and turned it to something else maybe it would be more of a believable outfit…wait why was he thinking about that now? He needed to worry about Bear.

Ponch sped up and got to the alley and turned in time to see Bear talking with a strange man, Bear slid him some money, as the man slid a package into his hand, and Ponch's eyes grew wide, fear shot through his body knowing how dangerous things like that could be having done it before in the past and he worried for his friend. He wasn't able to stop himself before the words came out "BARRY!" he cried.

Bear turned seeing Ponch, a look of hurt and confusion on his face then he looked back to Big G.

"You brought a friend with you!?" Big G asked angrily. "We're done, Bear get your junk elsewhere I don't want him bring the cops down on me," Big G said then split.

Bear took off as soon as he saw Ponch coming and he was scared to death what might be going through Ponch's head at that moment. He wasn't ready to answer questions yet so he ran. Ponch ran after him.

"Barry!" he called out again, he was confused and scared and didn't know what he had just seen. He wanted to find and talk to his friend and get things straightened out. What was it he was getting from that drug dealer anyway? Why was he going to a drug deal!? Ponch was starting to catch up, and when he got near the end of the alley he felt someone grab his arm.

Ponch stopped abruptly and turned to see an L.A.P.D. officer. More fear shot through Ponch as he knew what they must've been looking for. He began to squirm. "You caught the wrong guy, I didn't do anything!"

"Stop fighting me and I'll believe you," the man said.

Ponch stayed completely still for a moment and felt the mans grip loosen and he let go of Ponch.

"I'm looking for a Big G, and a Barry Baricza," the officer said.

"Well, I'm Frank Poncherello I'm not either one of them," Ponch said.

"We'll see about that…let's go back to your place and see your drug stash," the officer said not believing Ponch.

"I'm not a drug dealer!" Ponch stressed.

Bear wasn't too far away and heard Ponch say that. He stopped and looked back at them. Part of him wanted to go help and another part of him didn't want to go get mixed up in everything.

"Barry!" Ponch cried out again as he was fighting with the officer.

oOoOo

Jon woke up suddenly having heard the name Barry being yelled loudly in the room. It sounded like Ponch yelling.

Jon felt himself grow angry inside having heard the name Barry. "Where is he, I'll kill him for showing up and scaring you," Jon said he looked and noticed no one was in the room besides Ponch…

Jon noticed something else then, Ponch was sitting straight up and panicking about something and he was still asleep.

"Ponch!" Jon yelled. "Ponch, wake up please!" Jon said. He pressed the nurse call button since he couldn't get to Ponch himself.

Brandi, Nikki, Amber, and Dr. Brackett all came in together. "What is it?" Amber asked but just as she was getting those words out she heard Ponch yelling more things in his sleep.

"No! Please!" Ponch yelled and began to squirm. "Barry!" he yelled again.

"We have to wake him up," Nikki said urgently. She went to the bed and gently shook Ponch. "Ponch, wake up!" she said.

Brandi went over to Jon's bed to keep him calm during all of this. "Jon, he'll be okay, don't worry," she said quietly.

"Are you sure?" Jon asked.

"I'm positive," Brandi said with a smile.

Nikki had finally gotten Ponch awake, but when she did Ponch was still panicking.

His breathing was heavy, his eyes darted around the room looking for Bear, his heart was beating faster and faster inside his chest and he felt like he almost couldn't breathe. He was sweating profusely, and a little shaky. He was panicked and scared. "B-B-Barry…" he said looking around.

"Bear isn't here, Ponch. What's going on?" Jon asked.

Ponch turned his head to look at Jon for a moment but didn't say anything. Kel knew he needed to calm down.

"Ponch, relax. Lay back down, take a few deep breaths and relax," Kel said.

Ponch tried to do what Kel said, it was easier said than done.

"I'll see about getting someone to go check on Bear for you if that's what you're worried about?" Jon suggested even though he didn't care right now about what was going on with Bear he knew Ponch did.

Ponch nodded his head as he was taking a few deep breaths. "Y-y-yes…please," he said.

When Brandi left the room she called Grossie, with the number Jon had given her and asked him to check on Bear for Ponch, and Jon'd explain why later. Grossie said he would, but he was very confused and wanted to know more.

In the room, Jon looked at his friend with worry…what could he have been dreaming about now?
