Dan quietly walked into Natalie's hospital room, as to not wake her up.

Looking at her small, gentle form, he sat down next to the bed, and watched her breathing in and out slowly.

She looked horrible.

Scrapes and bruises from Gordon's abuse were apparent even in the dark.

He wanted to go kill Gordon, and make him feel half the pain Natalie had felt.

But, he would stay here with Natalie.

Much later, Natalie slowly awoke.

As she slowly moved her stiff body, her clouded mind slowly pieced together what had happened.

You can't hide me forever...

Back off buddy, or I'm gonna have to kill you.

Danny saved me... Danny saved me...

Natalie, I don't know if you can hear me... But I have to go, visiting hours are over....

She remembered all of this as a picture of where she was finally came to her.

As she turned a little bit more, she saw Dan Rydell, asleep in a chair next to her bed.

So let me come to you...

Close as I want to be

Close enough for me...

To feel your heart beating fast...

She could remember vaguely seeing him fighting with... who was it?... Who had kidnapped her?

She searched her foggy mind, and before finding an answer, she fell into a restless sleep.
