Thank you for the reviews. I finally got to the library before 10-ish so there might be a few extra chapters. Besdies, I'm still figuring this out. So there.

I don't own these people and you know the rest.


"Oh, good morning, Ian. How are you feeling this morning?" the nurse at the station didn'tlook like a nurse. She was big, with mousy hair and a fake smile. Danny inwardly winced.

"His name's not Ian," camethesmall voice of Alice, "It's Danny."

"Alice, Ian doesn't want you clinging to him like a tick," the nurse faked another smile but her eyes were cold. Danny matched herglare with his own icy gaze.

"I don't mind, really. It's fine." The nurse seemed surpised at Danny's harsh glare. She looked down at schedule stammering, "We're going to start you on Clozapin, Ziprasidone and Aripiprazole.We'llcome getyou whenyour group therapy starts."

"I don't need it. I'm not crazy. I don't belong here." The nurse looked at him, her eyes filled with doubt and when she spoke sarcasma dripped from every syllable. "Well, then I guess you can just go on your merry little way. You'll have to talk to Dr. Franks first. In the meantime, why don't you take your medication to help you relax."

"I'm not taking those. Now where is he. I want this mess sorted out. Now."

"I'm afraid he's busy with another patient. Why don't you just go down to rec room and I'll tell you when he's available."

Danny just looked at her for a moment, then asked "What's your name?"

"I'm nurse Betty."

"Well, that fits," he said under his breath as he turned to leave. He wasn't even to steps from the nurses station when he heard Betty say into her walkie-talkie, "Nurse Hendricks? We've got a trouble maker.""What's the problem?" "He's refusing to take his meds." "Who is it?" "The new guy." "I'm on my way."

Danny did not like how that sounded.

CSI:NY

Carl waved at Dannyand Alice from across the rec room, calling them over. Danny draged an extra chair over for her; she moved it right next to him and took his hand in hers. Carl just smiled. "So, what do you think so far?"

"Nurse Betty is a bitch.I don't think shes even qualified to work here." Carl nodded his agreement.

"What's your story?" He calmly asked. Danny must have looked confused becaused Carl added, "I mean, why are you here?"

"I'm not sure. Some guy brought me here and no one is giving me an answer." Carl nodded, "So, what did you do?"

"I'm a cop." Carl laughed. "Really! I'm Detective Danny Messer of the NYPD crime lab. I put bad guys away and I've lived in the city all my life!"

"OK, I believe you. You don't belong here. We don't either; I'm psychic and she's autistic, but they think they know more about us than we know about ourselves."

"Those types, huh? Hate 'em."

"Hate 'em." Alice whispered. Danny grinned at looked down at here. She was smiling. He looked back up when Carl said, "The shit has hit the fan." Danny turned and saw a severe looking nurse walking straight towards him. Her hair was curled tightly around her head and her demeanor screamed 'Ex-Con'. She stopped in front of him, hands on her hips, and barked, "Alice! Get off him! Carl! Go away! And YOU! Why aren't you taking your medication?"

"Because I don't need it." he said calmly.

"Don't try to pull that shit with me! Every one in here is crazy!" Danny smirked.

"Including you?" he challenged. He never even saw her move. Next thing he knew he was twitching on the floor, a searing hot pain radiating from his side. When it stopped he looked up to see Nurse Hendricks holding a taser. Holy shit!

"Now take you god damn meds!" she screamed.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" He screamed back, instantly regreting it when she slammed the taser against his neck. Damn, she fast! He screamed and twitched from the shock running through his nerves. It seemed like an eternity before it stopped. But she wasn't done with him. She grabbed his hair and yanked him up, slamming him into to the wall. Stars danced in and out of his vision. She softly whispered in his ear, "Now will you take your meds?"

Danny knew he was beat. This was not a woman to be messed around with. "Yeah, were are they."

She let he go and he slid down the wall. "Down the hall to your right." she said pleasantly; then she walked away, the other patients clearing a path for her. Carl and Alice reached down to help him up. Danny gasped in pain.

"Since when did the nuts run the nut house!"


Do you like the fact that I'm so mean?
