FBI bullpen, New York, 7:00am

Danny walked into the bullpen, drinking his coffee; Viv came into the office with a pile of papers and put them onto the conference table.

'No cases to work on, so it is paper work for the whole day,'Viv said.

Danny shrugged, took some of the paper back to his desk and started to work.

FBI bullpen, New York, 10:00am

Danny almost finished the paper. Sam still didn't show up.Viv walked in.

'Danny, where is Sam?' she asked

'Dunno,'Danny shrugged.

'Phone her and tell her to get to the office,' said Viv.

'Okay,' Danny replied.

He then dialed Sam's number on his cell phone. He suddenly saw Sam's phone was on her desk as it was ringing. He hung up and dialed her home.Still, there is no one answered. May be she don't anyone find her or disturb her. Danny thought. He then walked into Viv's office+.

'Viv, Sam's not answering. By the way, I'll go and have a look at Martin.'

Then he walked out with his coat.

Hospital, 10:30

Danny walked up to the counter.

'Could you please tell me which room Mr. Fitzgerald is in?' he asked

'Could you please tell me how to spell his name?' the nurse asked.

'F-I-T-Z-G-E-R-A-L-D.'

'Umm……here we go, he's in room 5,'she answered.

'Thanks.'

Danny walked to room5 where he found Sam was asleep. Her head placed on Martin's chest. Her hair spread on the blanket, she looked peaceful.

'Hey, Sam,'Dannt said softly.

'Hey,'Sam replied sleepily.

'You stay here for the whole night?' Danny asked, 'why don't you go home? Have a bath and change your clothes?'

'I want to stay with him,' Sam said.

'Go home, take a bath, and get some sleep. When he wakes up, you will be the first on to know, okay?'Danny persuaded her.

'Alright, deal,'Sam smiled, 'remember to call me when he's awake.'

'Alright, go.'

Then Sam left.

Everyday, Danny and Sam take turns, staying with Martin. Sam stayed with Martin at night and Danny stayed in the morning, but Martin still didn't wake up.

4weeks later

Danny was sitting beside the bed, staring at Martin's face. Then he saw Martin had woken up.

'Hey, you feel any better?' Danny asked.

'Yeah, but there is still some pain in my thigh,' Martin answered.

'I'll get Dr.Diaz and give you some aspirin.'

As he started to rise, Martin held out his hand and stopped Danny.

'Please don't leave me alone, please,'Martin begged Danny.

'Okay,'

Danny sat down, looked around the room. He then saw the phone on the wall.

'I'll make a phone call, okay?'Danny asked.

Martin nodded.
