Disclaimer: After a LONG stay at the hospital I still don't own Glee or Blue Bloods but I'm waiting for a letter that says otherwise I think I deserve it after enduring so much pain.
Chapter 8: Are You Down
Detectives Miller and Rogers walked in the room to see a very puffy eyed Rachel and a worried Danny, detective Miller spoke first "-we have all the kids in the Captain's office only place big enough, now what?-" he said clearly annoyed, detective Rogers point at Rachel and said "-Want me to bring her with them?-" Rachel let out a whiny sound, detective Reagan shake his head and told Rachel "-You'll stay here, I'll go talk to them-" Rachel stood up and say in a very firm voice "-Can one of them…-" she pointed at Miller and Rogers "-…go instead of you?-" Danny immediately knew why she asked that, she was still to afraid of being left alone and truth be told Danny was scared of leaving her alone, so he said "-Rogers get the phone number of their guardian, Miller wait five minutes then tell the kids that we can't find Mister Schuster and that they have to stay here until we find him -" Detectives Rogers and Miller left the office, a little confused but they knew better than to question his orders.
Danny closed the door after them and say "-I'm sure they're gonna text him and call him to no end and he'll be here in no time-" Rachel smile and nodded and she said "-Sorry for my little meltdown, but, but, but…-" she could not finish her sentence and just looked at him apologetically with her eyes full of tears without helping it Danny asked "-What did they do to you?-" she turned her face at the wall again and close her eyes, after a long time she looked at him again and with a little ironic smile she said "-You really want to know?-" Danny shook his head and said "-I don't know-" she laughed at his response, she actually laugh at loud and Danny felt like he could laugh too, he felt light and did laugh a little but it was more like a chuckle nothing like Rachel was doing full on laughing and even a little bit of snorting, it was good to see her like that like the teenager she was supposed to be and not like the corpse he been carrying around in the last few hours.
After they both finished laughing, well Danny finished watching Rachel laugh, she said "-I'll go and face them just promise you'll take me out of there as soon as possible-" Danny stared at her and asked "-Are you sure? I don't wanna make you do something you don't wanna do-" Rachel didn't even blinked before answering "-I'm sure just… you'll take me out when I said I need something from my purse, ok?-" Danny just nodded, he and Rachel exited his office almost hand in hand, hers was tightly wrapped around his left wrist, Rachel was very nervous, she couldn't even begin to imagine the reaction of the glee club so close to the nationals, and also she didn't wanna face Finn, it was his fault that she was in this situation, as she was walking she took deep breaths to calm down a little it wasn't like her classmates were going to kill her, and she had Detective Reagan beside her, worst it could happen Santana would try to hit her and Detective Reagan would stop her right?, but she felt naked even thought she wasn't, she was watching everything around her it seem as if nobody slept in the precinct they where all working looking so busy no one notice the teen girl walking with a police uniform too the big for her.
The trip wasn't long but gave Danny time to think about what would he have said if he knew Rachel better to calm her down, she was twisting her sleeves a lot, but nothing came to mind, how do you tell a teen girl that you'll protect her from everything without sounding creepy especially when its been mere hours since you met said teen girl, with this pressing question on mind Danny knocked on the Captain's door hearing a deep intake of breath from Rachel, it was like she was preparing for her execution, he opened the door and there was an immediate outburst of noise, a bunch of teenagers spoke at the same time, from what he could gather he heard "-Of course it was her!-" "-Man hands looking for attention again!-" "-Did she get confused with RuPaul?!-" "-What is she wearing?!-"And "-That's what she gets for dumping me in the middle of the street-" Danny using his full authority and seeing that Rachel started to shrink said "-Enough!-" while banging his right fist on the Captain's desk, the whole glee club stop shouting only Kurt said something that sounded like "-Oh My…-" while fanning himself.
Danny made sure to look at each member of the glee club straight in the eye before slowly asking "-Now has anyone been able to reach Mr. Schuester?-" some of the kids just shook their head but Finn got up and started asking questions again "-Why the hell do you need Mr. Schue? and why is Rachel in custody?, whatever she did I have nothing to do with it and neither do them -" he said getting angrier as he was speaking and ended pointing at the rest of the glee club, Danny looked at him for a few seconds then asked "-What's your name son?-" Finn was still feeling a little bold answered in a very nasty tone "-Finn, Finn Hudson-" Danny looked at Rachel who was super busy looking at everything except her club mates but somehow felt Danny's eyes on her and looked up and give a little nod, Finn saw all of this and started saying well almost shouting "-Whatever she told you I did it's not true, she's lying-" Quinn then got up too and said "-That's what she does, she lies to get attention, she needs help, she sneaked out of the hotel room today to do only God knows what and Finn was with me, so he didn't do anything-" she ended and half hugging Finn.
For the first time since entering the Captain's office Rachel looked at her so called friends she looked at everybody hoping against hope one of them stood up for her, that one of them would say something, or at least say the truth but they all reminded silent, then she looked at Puck who avoided her searching eyes and just looked down, then she looked at Artie who had the decency to looked back at her but still keep silent, Mike and Sam where the same as Puck not looking at her not even to say that Finn wasn't at the hotel that he too sneaked out, she felt betrayed but somehow found a way to stay strong enough to look at Finn and he was looking from her to Quinn and then he said "-Yes I was with Quinn all day, Cause you know she's my girlfriend-" Rachel snorted, she hadn't let go of Danny's wrist since they left his office, she had been to afraid to do so, but now she wasn't afraid she was angry, no forget that she was majorly pissed off so she let go of it and yell at Finn "-So Quinn is your girlfriend now? Was she your girlfriend when you tried to kiss me tonight or that was your clone since you were with her all day long!-" Her little outburst made the whole club stand up and start shouting at each other or more like the whole club started shouting at her.
The shouting match didn't last long Danny took his now free hand, put his thumb and index finger on his mouth and whistle, really, really loud, everyone stop shouting and, he said "-Everyone stop harassing my main witness or I'll have you arrested! -" everyone looked at him with surprised, scared or angry eyes Danny didn't even flinch despite the fact that he was facing teenagers at their worst, Rachel realized she had let go of Danny's hand and took his wrist again, he felt her slightly trembling but she seem fine otherwise and he said "-I just wanted to know if any of you have reached Mr. Schuester?-" some of the glee clubbers shook their heads but Santana and Quinn just looked at him defiantly, Danny nodded and said "-I'm afraid until we find him you all have to spend the night here, so get comfortable-" he turned around as to leave and dragged Rachel with him before the room exploded with more complaints and more questions the loudest being Santana's "-Why is SHE leaving with you?-"she said the word she with much contempt which did not sit well with Danny so he just opened the door pushed Rachel through it and without even turning he said "-I'm afraid you might kill my MAIN witness, good night-" he answered the word main in the same tone as Santana and he closed the door.
In the hallway Danny turned to Rachel and in a whisper he said "-We won't wait long for Mr. Schuester now -" Rachel smiled a little Detective Reagan was much too close to her for her comfort but oddly enough she didn't feel uncomfortable Detective Danny Reagan had become a constant in her life the past few hours and if the psychic in her was right she was going to need him in it for a while longer.
