Once they arrived at the hospital they made their way to Samantha's room, keeping a eye out for her doctor. They saw her just coming out of Samantha's room, and rushed over to her.

Danny greeted her anxiously. "What did you find?" he then asked.

"We can talk in my room it's just down here." she replied leading them down the hallway.

She ushered them inside a room, that had a large board with several scans stuck up on it.

"Samantha had her scan earlier." she began walking over to the board. "The good news is that there are no signs of brain damage. But there is still some swelling." she pointed at a large white area on the of the scans.

"This area here, seems to be pressing on her brain- which is why she hasn't woken up yet. Now we found out what it was, we were able to use some medication- which should reduce the swelling. So hopefully she should wake up within the next 48 hours."

"Then she'll be alright?" asked Vivian.

The doctor nodded. "She should be, she'll still have some healing to do though. She'll need some physiotherapy for her knee, but apart from that- physically she will be fine."

Danny breathed a sigh of relief. "Can I go see her?"

The doctor nodded. "Of course." Danny left the room, followed by Martin leaving Vivian and Jack with the doctor.

"So she will definately be alright?" asked Jack again wanting to make sure.

"Physically, yes. Mentally she will have to deal with what happened, and I don't know how long that will take, it's different for everyone."

"Okay." Vivian nodded. "Is there anything we can do?"

"Well, it's important that you let her know you are there for her, but without crowding her. We have counsellors available, if she decides to see one. Some people don't and deal with it themselves, but I guess you can be a judge of that."

"Alright." said Jack. He smiled at the doctor. "Thanks for everything."

She smiled. "It's fine."

Danny was in his usual position by Samantha's bed with Martin sitting across from him.

"So thats good news, from Sam's scan." said Martin.

Danny nodded. "Yeah it is. Hopefully she'll wake up soon."

Martin glanced at Danny seeing the worry lines that had been a permanent fixture on his face for the past few days.

"You know it wasn't your fault." he said.

Danny sighed. "That's what everyone has been saying."

"Well then you must know we're right."

"Yeah, I know. I just wish...I wish it hadn't happened."

"We all wish that." Martin smiled sadly, looking down at Samantha.

"Hey Sam." whispered Danny as he came in quietly the next morning. He would usually try and see Sam before he went to work every morning, he spent most of his free time in there. Willing her to wake up. He sighed, settling himself down in the chair. He was flicking through the paper when he thought he heard a small murmur. His head shot up, and he looked at Samantha. "Sam?" he said hopefully. There was no sign of anything and he sighed, assuming he'd imagined it. He looked back at his paper when he heard it again. He looked at her face, her eyes seemed to be flickering as if she was dreaming.

"Sam?" he asked again. He took hold of her hand, almost crying with happiness when he felt a slight pressure. He quickly pressed the button to call the nurse in.

A few seconds later, the doctor rushed in a worried look on her face. "What happened?" she asked immediately.

"I think she's waking up." replied Danny.

The doctor quickly checked her vitals and nodded. "Samantha? Can you hear me?"

"Yeah." was the faint reply. Her eyes were still shut, but her lips were moving. Danny smiled happily.

"Can you open your eyes?" asked the doctor.

Samantha squinted and forced her eyes open, seeing the doctors face and Danny's smile.

"Hey." he said.

"Hi." she replied.

"How do you feel?" asked the doctor.

"It hurts." she managed through gritted teeth.

"I'm going to call the others." said Danny. "They'll be glad to know you're awake."

Samantha nodded.

Danny walked briskly down the hall, eager to get to a phone and tell the others. Picking up the phone he dialled the office.

"Hey Viv." he said when she answered. "I'm at the hospital, Sam's awake."

He listened for a few moments, then he nodded. "Okay. I'll see you soon."

"They're on their way." he said to Samantha walking back in her room.

"Well I'll leave you to it." said the doctor. "I've increased the morphine a little, it will help with the pain, but it may make you a little drowsy. Just call if you need anything."

Danny and Sam nodded. "Thank you." said Sam.

The doctor smiled and left the room. Danny sat down next to Sam's bed and took her hand. "God, I'm so glad you're awake."

A small frown appeared on her face.

"Anything wrong?" asked Danny.

"What actually happened?"

Danny's eyes widened at her question. "You don't remember?" he asked.

"Not really. I remember he came into my room...that's when I recognised who it was. Then...it just goes blank."

Danny sighed.

"So what happened?"

"I think it'd be better if we all tell you when the others get here." he said, stalling for time. "Why don't you rest and wait for the others."

Samantha nodded, too drowsy to try and argue.

God, how do we tell her. Danny wondered to himself, hoping the others would hurry.

He sat there, watching Samantha gently breathing and still holding her hand in his until a small tap at the door alerted him that the others where there. He got up slowly and quietly not wanting to disturb Sam and went out into the hallway where the others were standing anxiously.

"How is she?" asked Martin.

Danny nodded, "Well she's awake, she's in a bit of pain- the doctor increased the morphine."

Vivian sensed something behind his words, "What's wrong?" she asked.

He sighed. "She doesn't remember what happened. She remembers him going into her room, then nothing." He looked at them distraught. "Christ guys, how do we tell her?"

Jack sighed. "I'll talk to the doctor." he said, starting off down the hall, Martin calling after that he would come too.

Vivian looked at Danny. "You okay?"

"I guess. But how the hell do you tell someone that they were raped and kidnapped?"

Vivian shrugged. "Maybe it'll come back."

A few moments later Jack and Martin came back with the doctor.

She smiled at them before turning to Danny. "You said she doesn't remember?"

He nodded. "She asked me what had happened."

The doctor sighed. "It's best if she can remember on her own. I know this doesn't sounds nice, but if you tell her about her injuries, hopefully that will trigger the memory- it sounds like shock treatment but it will be the best way in the long run."

Danny sighed and nodded. "Okay." he said. He was not looking forward to that. Martin, Jack and Vivian exchanged quick glances and decided that it would be best if Vivian went in with Danny to tell Samantha.

"Well lets go tell her." said Vivian, going to the door.

"Hey Viv." said Samantha when they went inside. She had awoken when she had felt Danny leaving.

"Hi. How you feeling?" She smiled, Sam looked better than she had and it was so good to see her awake.

"Better, think the pain killers kicked in." Samantha paused, looking at their slightly worried and concerned faces. "What happened then?" she asked, not sure if she wanted to know.

"We spoke to the doctor, and she said that it's best if you remember yourself." said Danny.

Samantha nodded.

"She also said to tell you..."

"Tell you about your injuries, see if it helps you remember." finished Vivian.

"Okay." she said. "I want to know."

Vivian nodded. "You had several bruises, and some bruised ribs. Your knee was dislocated-"

"So that's why it's in this?" Samantha questioned gesturing to the cast on her leg.

Danny nodded.

"You had quite a lot of blood loss, from...you got shot in the shoulder. And you were unconscious for quite a while because you took several blows to the head."

Samantha frowned, absorbing all the information seeing if it would trigger any memory. She shook her head. "I can't think of anything." she said frustrated.

"It will come back in time." said Vivian calmly.

"He came into my room...and..." She frowned again, her face deep in concentration.

Flashback

She scrambled to get out of bed and grab her gun but he was too quick for her and he smacked her across the face and threw her back on the bed.

End

She gasped, "Then I tried to get up and get my gun...then he hit me...I don't remember anything else."

Danny reached over and held her hand, squeezing it gently. "It's okay. We'll help you get through this."

"Thanks." she said smiling at them. "What happened to him?"

Vivian and Danny exchanged glances. "He's dead." replied Vivian.

"Oh." was all Sam said before lasping into silence.

"You want to see the others?" asked Vivian.

"Okay." Samantha replied.

Vivian got up to get them, and followed them back into the room.

"Hi Sam." said Martin.

"Hey." added Jack.

There was an awkward silence for a few moment as no one knew what to say. Danny noticed Samantha struggling to hold back a yawn.

"You want to get some rest?" he asked.

She nodded. "If you don't mind."

"Course not." replied Vivian.

"Thanks." said Samantha.

"I'm glad your okay." said Martin, gently squeezing her hand.

"Get some rest." added Jack.

"I'll come back later." said Danny, kissing her forehead gently.

"Bye." said Vivian, before they all left the room. Danny giving her a small smile.

She smiled back. As soon as the door shut the smile faded, and she sighed. She wanted to remember everything, so she would be able to deal and move on. She let her eyes drift shut and hoped sleep would come easily.

A/N: Hope you're all glad she's awake!
