7.25am

"So, wonder how Sam is today?" asked Danny, walking down the hall towards Samantha's room.

Martin smiled, "She was alright yesterday evening. Do you think she managed to sleep? Without dreaming about him?"

Danny shrugged, "Well we know till we ask her." he said opening the door to Samantha's room.

He gasped as he looked in the room seeing Samantha's body lying still on the floor, "Shit!" he yelled.

Martin craned his neck to look around Danny to see what he swore about. He also swore then ran to get a doctor.

Danny rushed over to Samantha, not quite knowing what to do. He

carefully checked her pulse, and was relieved when it seemed normal. He didn't know whether to move her or if that would cause any damage so he waited anxiously until Martin came back with the doctor.

The doctor looked surprised then started issuing instructions. "Right, help me get her back on the bed. Mind her head."

He picked the drip stand up, and helped Danny hold Samantha's head and shoulders, while Martin held her feet to get her back on the bed. They lay her back down, and the doctor immediately began checking her vitals.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he found everything ok.

"Well, everything still seems to be fine. I think she just fainted from

exhaustion, the effort from trying to stand up just pushed the

tiredness a bit too far causing her to faint. We will have to get an

x-ray later, to see if the fall caused anymore damage to her leg." he

said.

"Why did she try and get up?" asked Martin, "Do you think she was

trying to get out?"

"She said she wanted to leave, but I don't think Sam would be that

stupid, she knew that if anything happened she probably would have to stay longer and she wouldn't want that." answered Danny.

"We won't know until she wakes up I'm afraid," said the doctor.

"Did this cause any setbacks?" asked Martin worriedly.

"Well we won't know until we get the results from the x-ray, but the

fall didn't seem to damage anything else. But I will get this thoroughly checked out."

"Will you call us when you know?" said Danny.

"Of course." replied the doctor. "I'll just get her ready for being

taken to get an x-ray." Leaving the room.

"We should go back to the office and tell Viv and Jack." said Danny.

Martin nodded. "Someone should come back when she wakes up though. Find out what happened."

Danny nodded.

7.55am

"Morning." said Vivian. "You seen Sam this morning? I went earlier, she seemed better. We had a nice long talk."

"What time did you go?" asked Danny.

"Umm I got there around 10 to 7 and left around 5 past. Why?" said

Vivian.

"We went to see her, we got there at about 7.25 and found Sam

unconscious on the floor." said Danny.

"Oh my God, is she alright?" asked Vivian shocked.

"What happened?" asked Jack.

"The doctor said it was exhaustion that caused her to faint, but we

don't know why she tried to get up. They're going to check if anything was damaged in the fall."

"She wouldn't run would she?" asked Jack.

Danny shook his head. "It's not like Sam to do that. Should we call

Sam's mom?" he asked.

"Umm, she's gone back home." said Vivian.

"What?!" cried Martin outraged.

"Her husband's mother is ill, so they went back to see her. Samantha told me."

"Her daughter's in hospital! Doesn't she care?" continued Martin.

"Sam and I talked, she told me that they weren't very close and that was the first time she had heard from her in about a year." replied Vivian sadly.

"Poor Sam. She didn't have a very nice time growing up did she?" said Danny. His family, although they weren't the best family, they all got along well and were always there for each other.

Vivian shook her head. "She said her mom would go out a lot and leave her with her father, and they never spent a lot of time together."

Jack glanced at the picture of his kids and Maria on his desk, he

couldn't imagine why parents treat their kids so badly or just ignore

them. He made a promise to never ignore them and always be there for them.

Martin sighed, "Well I guess we wait again." he said, praying that

Samantha's fall did nothing to upset her progress.

"We got a new case." said Jack after a pause. "A seventeen year old

girl disappeared from her garden out in Westchester, last night. Her

name is Ellie Summers."

"Run away?" asked Vivian.

Jack shook his head. "No clothes or any personal belongings were gone, but it's worth checking in to."

"Anyone who would want to kidnap her?" asked Danny.

"We don't know. Danny, you and me will go to see her family and

friends. Martin, can you find out if she had any type of credit card

she could use, then run checks on it. Viv, can you find the phone

records for her cell and home phone and see if there's anything out of the ordinary." said Jack.

8.15am

"Viv, you got anything?" asked Martin.

"No, absolutely nothing." Vivian sighed. "Complete dead end."

"Danny called, they talked to her parents, well her mom, Natalie

Summers and her mom's partner, Jason Smith. The mom thinks it's her boyfriend, so they are going to talk to him. Danny wants us to run a check on him, Mike Wood. But the step dad, thinks that it could be her father, they got divorced a few years ago and the mom got custody. Danny also wants us to run a check on him, Matthew Summers." said Martin.

"Ok, I'll get that sorted." she said, just as the phone rang. "Can you

get that?"

Martin nodded and picked up the phone.

"Fitzgerald."

"This is Agent Spade's doctor. Doctor Wilkins."

"Yes of course. So what's the news?"

"Well the x-rays came back fine. No extra damage was done. She pulled a few stitches in her shoulder but nothing major. She's awake now. We asked why she got up, and she says that she didn't really remember getting up, but she wanted to stretch her legs." said Dr. Wilkins almost disbelievingly.

"And you don't believe her?" asked Martin.

"Honestly I'm not sure. Maybe she will tell you."

"Ok. I'll be in as soon as I can. How is she? It didn't cause any

setbacks did it?"

"No, she's still making good progress. She should be ok to leave in

about 4 days. But she will need plenty of rest at home."

"Thank you, that's great news." said Martin relieved.

"That's quite alright."

"Thanks again, goodbye." said Martin hanging up the phone. He turned to look at Vivian, a smile on his face. "That's was Sam's doctor. She is still making good progress and the fall didn't cause any major damage, just a few broken stitches."

"That's good." said Vivian. "Do you know why she fell? Or why she got up?"

"The doctor said she didn't remember getting up really, but she

remembers wanting to stretch her legs."

"So she wasn't trying to run then?" asked Vivian.

"Well he doesn't really believe that she just wanted to stretch her

legs. So I said I'd go in later and see her."

"Ok." said Vivian. "Well Luke's just getting the results from the

background check on the boyfriend and the father."

"I found that she hasn't used her card or made any withdrawals since she went missing. So it's quite unlikely she ran away."

"Hey Vivian." said Luke. "Here's the info from the checks."

"Thanks Luke."

"So, how's Samantha?"

"She's doing ok. She should be out in a few days."

"Oh that's good." said Luke. "Just you know say hello, and hope she

recovers from me."

"Will do. Thanks again." said Vivian.

Vivian sat at her desk looking through the reports.

"Anything?" asked Martin.

"Well the boyfriend has nothing at all. The dad has one drunk and disorderly and a few speeding tickets but nothing major."

"There an address for the dad?" asked Martin.

"Yeah, also in Westchester. I'll give it to Jack and Danny and tell them about Samantha." said Vivian.

"You think it will be ok if I go see Sam quickly?" asked Martin anxiously.

Vivian checked her watch, "Be quick. You know how Jack get's when we're working on a case."

"I will" said Martin.
