Notes: This takes place during 102. So 101-103 overlap each other.
I stepped out of the hospital room planning to use the bathroom and get a cup of coffee. I saw a young man standing there looking anxious. "Hey!" He said coming up to me. "You are that kid's brother right?"
"Yeah..." I said.
"I'm the one that hit him. I am so sorry! I just got my license Saturday and totally didn't see him! I wanted to apologize. He's okay isn't he?"
"He's okay." I was really relieved that it was a sixteen year old and not one of Vince's men trying to hit me. Why am I so paranoid? It was a total accident. Nothing to be so worried about. I mean they are at the trial and I'm at a hospital about 20 minutes from there.
I walked past the guy and headed to the bathroom. I had just finished using it when I heard the door open and close. I didn't look up to see who it was. Suddenly I heard a click.
Strange I thought. Must be a stall door. I turned around to head for the sink and came face to face with Nash, Waltman and Michaels. I now knew what the click was. Shit!
They were standing there blocking the door so I couldn't leave. And pushing past them wasn't an option not because they were bigger then me but because Nash had a gun pointed at me. Yelling for help would get me shot before anyone helped me. I was really screwed.
"You've become a real problem Danny boy and we always get rid of problems." He cocked back the gun. I closed my eyes.
Boom!
I hit the floor.
Bang! The gun went off.
I looked up to see Nash and my dad wrestling over the gun. Michaels and Waltman just stood there. I looked back and saw that right behind me there was a broken window.
I got off the floor and saw my dad get the gun from Nash just as security came running through. I watched as they handcuffed Nash, Waltman and Michaels and took them out of the room.
"You okay?" Dad asked as we walked out of the room.
I was shaking so hard I could barely say yeah.
Dad instructed me to sit in one of the waiting room chairs. I did gladly.
"What's going on?" My mother demanded as she walked up to us. "I heard a gun go off and came out to see what it was. Then I saw Nash, Waltman, and Hickenbottom being led out of the bathroom in handcuffs and then the two of you leaving. What happened?"
"Nash almost shot Danny." Dad said quietly.
Mom looked like she was going to explode. "Just what was your going in hiding supposed to do again? Because since you came back Danny's been kidnapped, attacked in his hotel room, and now almost shot. Just why did you fake your death again."
"I've been wondering that myself." Dad said quietly.
"Just who's bright idea was it to get Danny involved in this?" Mom asked.
Speak of the devil I thought as I saw Bischoff walking our way. I looked at him and so did dad.
"You are the one who got Danny involved in this?" Mom yelled coming up to Eric and punched him hard without waiting for an answer.
"Yeah. I did. I felt like he should know so Vince would drop it. I wouldn't have had to if you had just told him what happened."
Boom Bischoff on the floor again. "Don't you dare blame me for this! I did the best I could for my family. I protected them from a sport I thought had killed his father."
Bischoff looked to dad but dad looked about as pissed as Mom did.
"Nancy honey Trevor can hear you." We looked up to see Jason coming up to us. I didn't know he was here. "Maybe you guys should take it somewhere else?"
"No, I'm finished." She said walking away.
"Jeez Chris and I thought Danny got his punch from you. I guess I was wrong. Here Shane thought you might want his cell phone." He handed it to dad. "I came to see if you needed help but you obviously don't so I'll leave." He left.
"It's going to be okay Danny." Dad said to me.
I just sat there. Somehow it really didn't feel like it ever would.
