Chapter 8-
"So what are we going to do?" Sam asked as she sighed. "Close it?" Jack asked as Hannah nodded, "I don't know how….but that's what we have to do." Hannah said as everyone agreed with her.
"I don't want my sister going on this mission when we get a good plan. I just want her to be safe." Hannah said as she looked to Hammond, "That's how it's going to have to be." Hammond said as he headed for the door, "Figure out a plan, I have a phone call to make." Hammond said as he left.
Meanwhile-
Daniel sat in a chair in the VIP room keeping a watchful eye on Danielle. Daniel sighed as Danielle started toss and turn in her sleep, "MOM! DAD!! WAIT! DON'T LEAVE ME!!" Danielle screamed in her sleep.
Daniel sprang from his chair and went over to Danielle's side, "Danielle, wake up!" Daniel said trying to wake up the screaming girl. "DANIELLE!" Daniel screamed as Danielle's eyes shot opened and darted around the room.
"It's ok; it was just a night mare." Daniel told her as she sat up and brought her knees to her chest. Tears fell from her eyes as she buried her head in her knees. "I just wanna disappear…" Danielle whispered as tears fell.
"Now, why would you want to do that?" Daniel asked as he sat closer to her and put an arm around her shoulders. "I miss my parents…it's just not the same." Danielle said as Daniel sighed, he could relate to her…that's how he felt when his parents died.
"I know how you feel." Daniel said as Danielle nodded, "yeah, I know…dad used to tell me about grandma and grandpa from his side and that they were great people." Danielle said as Daniel nodded, "they were." Daniel said as he smiled.
"I miss them so much…it hurts so bad…" Danielle said as she started to cry. Daniel wrapped his arms around Danielle as she cried.
Danielle sighed as her tears dried, "Why do people have to die?" Danielle asked as she moved away from Daniel, "God needs angels….that's why." Daniel said as Danielle looked up and smiled, "they are always watching me right?" Danielle asked as Daniel smiled and nodded, "of course…they are watching you and your sister." Daniel said as Danielle smiled and sighed.
"I need to act my age, I'm not 2…I'm 15." Danielle said as she wiped the remainder of her tears away. "that doesn't mean you can't cry……it's the best way to deal with really stressful things, it's not good to hold it all in…you'll just pop in the end." Daniel said as he sighed, "Like you? When your parents died…..you held it in….my dad told me and Hannah that…and since you are him…in a way, that must have happened to you to." Danielle said as Daniel sighed and nodded.
"By the way, where is my sister?" Danielle asked as Daniel stood up, "I'll take you to her…come on." Daniel said as Danielle stood up and they both walked out of the room.
