Chapter 13: Stare At You

The rehearsals were as smooth as it could be expected, Rachel, who wasn't too thrilled, was given the duet with Finn, who couldn't be happier, right away with much complaining from Quinn, Santana and Mercedes, not so much from the rest of the club, she also got some lines from the up-tempo song and started to practice it right away as it was much more difficult than the duet, in the course of the evening only Puck and Kurt approached Rachel to asked what had happened finding no answer to their inquiry, while she received the evil eye from the rest of her so called team. Every few hours Mr. Schue gave them bathroom breaks and every time Rachel approached Detective Reagan just to see how he was doing and to reassured herself that she was safe, Danny had very sarcastic remarks about the group that tended to put a smile on Rachel's face including the one that Rachel kept repeating in her head "-If looks could kill, I'll be processing the whole room right now-" she couldn't help but smile at the thought of it.

By sundown everyone was tired, irritated and hungry having been practicing all afternoon especially the choreography cause some of the Glee clubbers kept turning the wrong way. Rachel was focusing entirely on the notes and dance moves trying her hardest not to think of everything that had happened to her in the last twenty-four hours and wasn't even concerned with the fact that every time she got too close to Quinn or Santana she was pushed or tripped, she just kept dancing and singing under the watchful eye of Danny Reagan whom she caught head snapping, toes tapping once or twice and Rachel thought he was enjoying the performance but actually he was bored beyond reason, well bored wasn't exactly right expression, he did enjoy the up-beat song the teens were rehearsing although hearing it over and over again was getting on his last nerves and to top that of, he was getting a migraine due to the fact of thirty some hours deprived of sleep and two very adrenaline charge events, he was bound to crash at any minute now.

William Schuester felt a little odd by having an armed policeman in the room with them while the club rehearsed but quickly got over it because said policeman did not talked or made any kind of attempt at interacting with anyone except little miss Berry which for some unknown reason irked Will to a great extent but he did his best to ignore Detective Whatevername. Before Mr. Schue realized it was late afternoon and the kids needed to have some dinner there was a somewhat cheap restaurant a few blocks away from the hotel when he announced this to the pleasure of the kids who were thrilled to get out of the hotel and experience a little bit more of the Great Apple all of them gathered their stuff (coats, purses and wallets) and headed to the door, Will counted the kids on their way out only to find out Rachel was in deep conversation with the detective and had not made an attempt to go out the door.

"-Should we go?-" asked Rachel not feeling very confident about leaving the safety of the hotel room "-If you want to go we can go but it's too risky and to be honest I only care about keeping you safe, not them-" Detective Reagan said pointing to the door with his head "-Are you coming Rachel?-" asked Will interrupting the conversation between the teen and the cop, Rachel looked from her professor to the detective twice and then answered "-No, you go ahead I'll order room service-" Mr. Schuester said in a very annoyed tone "-You know the whole point of this experience is for the glee club to bond further-" Rachel said in the same tone "-I thought it was to win nationals-" Danny smirked at the remark which irritated William "-yes, that too but how can you bond if you're here in the room by yourself-" said the teacher with much contempt, the teen girl was not about to be undermined again so she said "-I won't be alone, Danny is staying with me, right?-" Danny nodded while saying "-Unless of course you insist on us going-" Will seem to consider the idea until Detective Reagan added "-because I can't think of a better way to bond than being shot at-" Rachel laughed hard this confused Will who asked "-What do you mean by that?-" Danny said nothing while shrugging Rachel answered for him "-He's just kidding, go ahead you go to the restaurant-" Will just turned around closed the door and head out to the elevator where the gleeks we're waiting for him.

Danny picked up the room service menu and asked Rachel "-So what will it be?-" she shook her head and said "-I'm not hungry-" Danny said in a very irritated voice "-We been through this Rachel-" he stared at her until she looked away "-So what will it be?-" Rachel reply in a defeated tone "-Whatever vegetarian pasta they have-" Danny checked the menu again and said "Mushroom ok?" she just nodded "-Anything to drink?-" "-Iced tea-" she said and went back to rehearse the choreography of the chorus of the song Danny finished ordering (pasta with mushroom dressing and iced tea for Rachel and a hamburger, French fries and coke for him) and sat on one of the beds and said in a very concerned voice "-You wanted to go with your friends didn't you?-" she looked at him and said "-They're not my friends but yes I wanted to go but if the mob man shots them I will never be able to forgive myself-" Danny chuckled a little.

They waited for their food in relative silence Rachel kept rehearsing and Danny kept watching her until someone knock on the door Danny made Rachel drop to the floor in between the beds while he answered the door with his gun in hand but it was just a waiter with their food, Danny made him put the tray on the floor outside the room and waited until the waiter was out of sight and couldn't hear him anymore to open the door and pick the tray with the food, Rachel saw all of this and said "-Don't you think you're over reacting a little?-" Danny set the tray on one of the beds and said "-Says the girl with two murder attempts in under twenty-four hours-" Rachel smiled and nodded.

For someone so small who claimed not to be hungry not long ago Rachel ate really fast then just sat there watching Detective Reagan finish his food, Rachel had always been grossed out by people eating meat but for some strange reason she wasn't grossed when she looked at Danny eating his hamburger instead she wondered about the taste of it since she could not remember ever eating one. Danny felt a little irritated with the teen girl who kept looking at him as if he was some sort of display and felt the need to ask "-Why are you staring at me?-" Rachel just shrugged but turned her gaze somewhere else Danny then said "-So you think you can win this singing competition?-" Rachel said "-Is show choir and we could if they let me sing a solo instead of a duet-" then her eyes really light up and she asked him "-You wanna see?-" Danny wasn't sure what she was asking but her bright eyes were almost begging him to say yes so he nodded, Rachel stood up and put her I-pod on the speakers and soon she was singing Don't Rain On My Parade at the top of her lungs with a very impressed Danny.

When she finished singing she said "-I know is not as good as Barbara's version yet but I'm getting there-" Danny said "-I never heard this song before so for me this is the best version-" Rachel gasped and asked in complete disbelief "-You've never seen Funny Girl?-" Danny shook his head and she said "-I cannot believe it, it's only like the greatest movie ever well maybe top five-" she then went on to tell him the plot of the movie until her club mates arrived impressed by the city and with their energy at the fullest. Mr. Schue had to reel them in saying "-I know the city is amazing and all but we need to practice a little more please-" the teens agreed and started to dance and sing around the room, after a few runs of Light Up The World the teens ran out of stamina and pretty much dropped to the floor so Mr. Schuester suggested to practice Pretending (the song Finn wrote) cause they could sing it laying there on the floor they did as told and it was flawless in the eyes of everyone (yes including Santana, Mercedes and Quinn) but Rachel found some problems with her pitch and asked Finn to sing it again this time standing up and with some movement.

By midnight everyone was in bed or deeply asleep with the exception being Rachel who kept singing the songs and finding some kind of problems with her pitch thus exasperating her glee mates (the ones that were awake) more and more, until Mr. Schuester said "Rachel that's enough! Your pitch is flawless as usual, we need to get some sleep especially you, ok?" Rachel mumbled something in return but Mr. Schuester said "-I don't wanna hear it, go to bed-" then he turned to Danny and said "-You can come and sleep in the boys room-" Rachel whined loudly "-He can't leave-" while attaching herself to the arm of Danny Reagan once more, Quinn saw this and rolled her eyes and said "-He can't stay in a room full of teen girls-" Danny said directly to Quinn making her feel uncomfortable "-I can and I will-" then turned to Will and said "-I can't leave Rachel alone, I'll stay here-" Rachel let out a breath she didn't even knew she was holding, William felt annoyed again at Rachel she was getting her way yet again just because of her little girly act so he said in a harsher tone than he intended "-Suit yourself, just not in the bed with them-" Detective Reagan felt aggravated by the implication of the so called teacher and said in a cold tone "-Who do you think I am?-" Will just shrugged and walked out of the room.

Danny turned to look at Rachel in the face and said "-I'm not leaving, ok? Now go to bed-"She stared at him and asked "-Where will you sleep?-" Danny pointed at the floor, Rachel said "-But it's so uncomfortable-" he just shook his head and said "-I have slept on worst conditions, now go to bed-" she went to the bed she was sharing with Kurt and picked a couple of pillows and a blanket and gave them to the tired Detective then went back to bed and crawl in it she said "-Good night Danny-" and Danny responded with a smile on his face "-Good night Rachel" it had been a while since he said good night to anyone then Santana had to ruin the moment when she said "-Detective if I catch you trying to do something to me while I'm sleep I'll go all Lima Heights on you-" Danny didn't know what that meant and wasn't even going to bother in answer her stupid remark.

It seem only a few seconds of sweet sleep had passed when Detective Reagan was awaked by a very scared Kurt Hummel "-Detective, Detective!-" Kurt said while shaking Danny who in his very sleepy state managed to said "-What?-" Kurt kept shaking while he said "-Something is wrong with Rachel-"

Authors note: Le gasp! Cliff hanger again I'm mean I know. Again sorry for the delay I just was very saddened for the passing of Cory and I had a hard time returning to the story and then my dad had to have surgery and the recovery has not been easy but here I am again. Sorry if the chapter feels a little weird I had some trouble with the flow of it. I also discovered that I've been spelling shot wrong I'll try to correct those mistakes and typos on previous chapters but please remember and keep in mind English is not my natal tongue.

Next chapter is on the workings and I'm really liking it so expect it soon
