Hey. Really sorry I haven't posted for ages but I've been really busy with holiday, college and work. I've settled into my routine though now so I should update sooner, that's if you want me too.

Chapter two

The next day Danny managed to drag himself out of bed even though he was dreading the day ahead. He knew things would be strained and he it would be extremely hard to bear it but he had to. Not showing up or phoning in sick, although he had considered it countless times, was not an option because it showed he was finding it hard to cope and he couldn't handle it. Most of all it showed weakness in front of his colleagues and he couldn't face that.

After getting dressed markedly slower than he usually did, he walked out of his apartment with a look of fear. He hated feeling useless. He'd felt useless when he was younger and had made a vow not to again. Looks like a stuffed that up as well. Danny thought as he closed his door.

When Danny arrived at the entrance to the labs he was dreading entering. I wonder what Mac's told the others Danny thought as he put off entering the building. They must think I'm a right low life. Come on Messer they wouldn't think that. Now get yourself together and enter the damn building. Danny then sighed, took a deep breath and entered the building still hesitant, of what was to come.

Well there you are, sorry it's short but I've got to think of where to go with this. Hope you enjoyed it though; your comments, good or bad are really appreciated.
