Hey readers! Thanks for all the reviews! I know I haven't updated in a very long time so here is the 8th chapter…

Chapter 8 – Truth Is

Danny cracked open an eye, but closed it immediately. The light was painfully bright, blinding him temporarily.

"Oh, God," he mumbled weakly. He tried to lift up his arm, but it was met with a sharp, excruciating pain that seared through it. He let out a yell.

The hospital door swung open. There was the sound of someone running anxiously over to him.

"Danny? Are you okay?" It was the only voice that could send his heart beating wildly. He opened his eyes slowly – Mary was leaning over him, her hand on his forehead, caressing his fringe.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he grunted. "Wait – Justine. Oh my God, WHERE'S JUSTINE?" he asked, trying hard to sit up, but the pain was just too much for him to bear. Mary worriedly coaxed him down again.

"Hey watch it. The doctor says you suffered fractures in your arms and most of the muscles in your legs are injured. Besides, Justine's fine, Dan. She's just recuperating in the next ward. She suffered malnutrition and severe infection of her wounds, but other than that, she's good." Mary smiled and held his hand. "And guess what she's doing right now? Laughing hysterically while watching Spongebob Squarepants."

"That's good to hear."

"Mmm…"

The hospital door swung open once again and his colleagues and Ed crowded into the ward, and suddenly, the awfully silent room became a lively, cheerful and warm one. Delinda, Sam and Nessa all flirted with Danny, giving him light strokes on his thigh. Mike and Ed were pelting him with the latest happenings at the Montecito.

Danny suddenly felt that all his woes were gone from the surface of the Earth.

.:Three Weeks Later:.

"Hey!" Danny said, walking over to the young girl lying on the hospital bed. "You okay?"

"Yeah," Justine replied. "Just a little tired that's all."

"Look who came to visit you."

Mary, Delinda, Ed, Nessa, Sam and Mike all poured into the ward.

"Wow," Justine gaped. "I've missed you guys! When can I get out of this horrible stinking place? The food sucks."

"Well, we don't know about that. All we know is that Luis got arrested yesterday. The police are still trying to get information out him." Nessa filled Justine in, a wide grin on her face.

Sam stared at Justine for a few seconds, then shifted her eyes and settled them on Danny.

"What?" Danny asked.

"Wow," Sam said, grinning. "I've never realized how you two look alike."

Sure enough, they had the same dark blonde hair and perfectly chiseled features.

"Yeah. How else are siblings supposed to look?" Justine remarked.

There was amused laughter.

"Well, I asked your chief when you could go back to the Academy," Ed said, sitting down beside Justine on her bed. "And he said that you should rest a little longer, considering you're just 13."

Justine sulked.

"But I argued for you, of course and he agreed to let you go back next week."

"Oh my God! You did that?" Justine squealed. "Thanks Ed! I guess it's actually an advantage when your brother's boss is in the same line."

Right in the middle of the world's number 1 Sin City, a group of people, huddled together comfortably in a hospital ward – each with a glass of wine in one hand.

So now you know who Justine is! But the story hasn't ended yet! Look out for the next chapter coming soon. RnR please! Thank you!
